This review is written for the following individuals:- Those who want to enjoy delicious French cuisine in the Tenmangu area of Osaka.- Those who wish to pair their meal with wine or other beverages.- Those who want to spend a delightful time with their companions.---On a certain day in May 2026, I visited alone.It was a weekend in Osaka. For lunch, I visited the French restaurant Shimanami French Murakami near Tenmangu.The restaurant is a warm, hidden gem that incorporates ingredients from the Setouchi region and the culture of Ehime, where the chef is from. The lively atmosphere of the open kitchen and the quality ambiance enhanced by Imabari towels used as napkins and tile art create a unique dining experience.I had made a reservation for the "Lunch Menu Saison JPY 8200." I indulged in French cuisine sprinkled with the terroir of Ehime.◯ Small appetizer to start:- Imabari boiled shirasu paste rice cracker- Riette wasanbon sable↓The gentle umami of the shirasu and the mild sweetness of wasanbon whetted my appetite.◯ Katsuo, grilled eggplant, beets↓The combination of the smoked katsuo and grilled eggplant is surprisingly harmonious.◯ Turban shell, barley, juicy tomato↓The slowly cooked turban shell was tender, and its broth blended beautifully into the risotto, making it incredibly delicious.◯ A gift from Ehime↓A charming foie gras mousse shaped like a mandarin orange, coated with mandarin juice. I admire the creativity of those who thought to combine foie gras with fruit.◯ New onion, coffee↓The soup was a new onion potage. The subtle sweetness of the onion was complemented by a delicate coffee accent, which was delightful.◯ Seasonal fish, bamboo shoots, chorizo↓The fish dish featured pan-seared isaki from Ehime. The sauce, enriched with white wine and fish broth, highlighted the delicate flavor of the white fish. The pairing of bamboo shoots and chorizo was unbelievably good.◯ Iwaki Island lemon pork, burdock↓The main dish was roasted or grilled pork from a brand pig raised on an island in Ehime. The exterior was perfectly crispy while the inside remained moist and juicy, showcasing impeccable cooking. The side of wild vegetables and mushrooms evoked the serene countryside where the pork was raised.◯ Chef's special dessert◯ Beverages:- NA sparkling wine- NA red wine- Coffee (after the meal)↓Strawberries (Hamaotome) served fresh, with ice cream and sauce. The overwhelming fruitiness combined with the rich sweetness of the vanilla parfait created a delightful experience.I plan to visit again in the evening.
