Osaka 怀石料理 餐厅

Toraichi is an outstanding yakiniku restaurant in Osaka, serving only A5-grade wagyu along with excellent wines. It is normally members-only, but reservations through byFood allow non-members to visit. Every dish is carefully thought out, using top-quality ingredients and excellent cooking techniques. Highlights include their famous wagyu katsu sandwich and seasonal vegetables, which are treated with the same care as the meat. Everything we tried was so delicious. Service is excellent and friendly, with a fun entertainment element using drums and a giant pepper grinder. If you are visiting Osaka and enjoy wagyu, Toraichi is highly recommended.

This is a members-only restaurant, but by making a reservation through byFood, you can enjoy a special dining experience. The interior is quiet, luxurious, and offers a calm, sophisticated atmosphere. The course menu focuses on wagyu beef, featuring A5-rank cuts from various regions, selected according to the day. Every dish is very prepared to highlight the full flavor of the wagyu!My recommendation is the wagyu sandwich. Not only is it delicious but the chef's entertaining presentation is also amazing! It's a highly recommended restaurant for anyone visiting Osaka.

Originally a members-only restaurant, this is a place where you can enjoy that same sense of exclusivity without needing a membership. After entering the restaurant by key code, we were immediately struck by an atmosphere of Japanese luxury — every detail, from the interior design and tableware to the lighting, was impeccably curated and a pleasure to take in. The course was centered around wagyu, beginning with an introduction to the day's selection and an explanation of what makes it worthy of being highlighted on the menu. Each dish showcased a different cooking method and seasoning, with spices and salts carefully selected and precisely balanced. One of my favorite moments was the wagyu sandwich midway through the course, when the chef performed right in front of us with an impressively large mill, bringing the atmosphere to its peak. It was a truly special dining experience, and one I would happily visit again.

A small gem tucked away in an improbable neighbourhood. Mostly locals, excellent set lunch, attentive service, authentic Showa atmosphere - like taking a step back in time. Highly recommended.

Everything was so beautiful and delicious. We got the omi wagyu beef hotpot private room kaiseki - would highly recommend it! The rooms are immaculate and our server was very friendly and informative. Perfect place for a group celebration or romantic dinner.

My husband and I ate here for dinner, and we loved the ambience and food. We were greeted by a female hostess, one male individual who checked in with us regularly, the main chef, and 1 of his assistants. This are catered to a total of 8 people including us, and it was an intimate experience. The one male helper would translate what the chef said in English to us, and my husband and I used Google translate to commend everyone’s hospitality and good food. It was my husbands favorite restaurant experience during our 2 week stay. The different cuts of the wagyu and other dishes were so delectable. We really enjoyed dining here and we even got to take a photo with the chef and the helper and hostess. This is a must place to eat!
