Noguchi Guran Gurin Osaka (野口 グラングリーン大阪) Osaka

I was taken to a gourmet haven specializing in the Hanshin area.After doing some research beforehand, I found out that "Kyotenjin Noguchi," a restaurant that has won consecutive Silver Awards on Tabelog, has recently opened at Grand Green. This raised my expectations.I eagerly awaited the day of the visit.After descending the escalator at the west exit of Osaka Station, I ventured further underground! I arrived at the unknown world of Grand Green.The interior features counter seating and private rooms for up to six people.The young chef, entrusted with the restaurant by the head chef of the main branch, presented the following Omakase course:- Abalone, Turbo Snail, Water Shield, White Yam- Tempura Hand-Rolled Sushi with Katsuo- Beef Shabu-Shabu with New Lotus Root Soup- Sashimi of Biwa Trout and Sea Bream- Fried Sweetfish with Onion Sauce- Grilled Hamo with Ume Plum Soy Sauce- Fried Kamo Eggplant- Ayu from Azumigawa with Corn- Fish Bone Crackers- Eel with Green Chili- Sea Bream Rice- Finale (choose from Karasumi Soba, Sudachi Somen, Kitakata Ramen, Meat Sauce Spaghetti, or Cold Dandan Noodles)- Pineapple and White Wine SorbetNot only was the quality exceptional, but the portion sizes were generous, filling my stomach completely. It felt like 1.3 to 1.5 times the amount you would get at a typical restaurant.Moreover, the dishes were served at different times rather than all at once, which made me imagine there must be a large team behind the scenes. To my surprise, there were only three people!This was astonishing.I was impressed by the dishes and service that could only be achieved by a small, elite team dedicating time to preparation.By the way, the head chef from the main branch visits this location on Thursdays and Fridays, but I heard that reservations are quite difficult to secure on those days!Currently, it has a Tabelog rating of 4.02.

Located about a 3-5 minute walk from the west exit of JR Osaka Station, Noguchi, a branch of the highly acclaimed two-Michelin-star restaurant "Kyotenjin Noguchi" near Kitano Tenmangu in Kyoto, has opened on the first floor of the newly established Grand Green Osaka South Building. They offer an omakase course that beautifully blends traditional Kyoto culinary techniques with modern sensibilities. **Menu:** - Abalone, white sweet potato, and whelk - Managatsuo tempura sushi rolls - New lotus root shabu-shabu - Biwa trout, Meichidai, and sea urchin - Whale - Grilled hamo (pike eel) - Fried eggplant with okra - Sweetfish and corn - Eel - Sea bream rice - Karasumi soba - Kitakata ramen - Shine Muscat grapes Despite being in the newly refined Grand Green Osaka, stepping inside feels like entering a serene, high-quality space reminiscent of Kyoto. The beautifully arranged modern pottery and antique glassware, carefully collected over time, immediately captivate the eye with their elegance. The chef's dishes are a wonderful composition that showcases creativity while respecting tradition. They skillfully draw out the balance of flavors inherent in the carefully selected seasonal ingredients, with each dish offering a gentle yet profound umami that permeates the body. At the end of the course, the option to choose from several types of rice dishes adds to the enjoyment and satisfaction. Above all, the chef's philosophy of valuing not only the food but also the creation of a welcoming atmosphere and building trust with each guest shines through, allowing for a truly luxurious dining experience. This is not just a place to enjoy delicious food, but a remarkable establishment where you can feel the chef's sincere hospitality. I look forward to making a reservation for a special occasion and bringing someone dear to me. Thank you for reading to the end, from the reviewer "Instagram@_1show."

I was taken along by a friend who made a reservation! I had heard that the course portions were large, but the variety and volume were truly the biggest I've ever experienced... Everything was elegant and absolutely delicious, making for a wonderfully happy time... It really made me realize how important it is to share a meal with the right people. Since I went with three close friends, we ordered a variety of dishes to share at the end. Haha! Thanks to that, we were able to try almost everything. Haha! Even the final dishes were not just a small portion; they were substantial enough for one person. Haha! I’m glad I had a big-eater friend with me. LOL It was a great meal! Less

I had visited the main branch before, but this was my first time at Gran Green. Since the head chef was there, the taste remained consistent and enjoyable. I was able to savor the delicious flavors of the ingredients.One great aspect is that it can be reserved for private events. The non-alcoholic options are around JPY 45,000 per person.U Gourmet Rating:3.0: Probably won't go again3.5: Average3.7: Would like to visit again if I'm nearby3.9: Looking forward to the next visit4.1: Want to make it a favorite spot4.5: Always leaves me impressed Less

I visited a popular Japanese restaurant that recently opened in Grand Green Osaka.The dishes, which emphasize seasonal ingredients, are not only visually stunning but also meticulously crafted in terms of flavor. The umami of the dashi is prominent, and each dish maximizes the quality of the ingredients.What stood out the most were the seasonal soups and grilled dishes. They had a delicate seasoning that still packed a punch, making it enjoyable without losing interest until the very end. The rice dishes offered a wide variety, making it tempting to order more.This time, I was served all the options available.The interior provides a calm atmosphere, and the counter seats allow you to closely observe the chefs at work, which is quite appealing. The service is pleasant, making it a great choice for important gatherings or anniversaries.This place offers an authentic experience of Kyoto cuisine right in Osaka. I look forward to returning in a different season. Less

First of all, I made a reservation over the phone, and the service was exceptional. They adjusted the reservation time considering my schedule. The entrance of the restaurant exudes a sense of luxury and formality right from the impressive gate.The staff's interactions were very welcoming, and their conversational skills helped to ease the formal atmosphere.For those who often find themselves rushing through meals in the bustling nightlife, the flexibility in accommodating customers' time, regardless of the course meal, is truly appreciated.Each dish was well-seasoned, showcasing a sense of quality and care in the flavors.The presentation was visually appealing and enjoyable.The portion sizes were generous, and overall, I was extremely satisfied with my experience at this restaurant.I will definitely return when I stay in Osaka.

A highly regarded Japanese restaurant in Grand Green Osaka, this establishment is part of the renowned Kyoto brand "Kyotenjin Noguchi," making it a popular choice. Located conveniently near Umeda Station, it offers a beautiful space that is perfect for business meetings or exploring trendy dining spots.The restaurant is lively, primarily staffed by young chefs, and the dishes featuring ingredients like hairy crab, sweet shrimp, seasonal vegetables, and Shamo chicken with white asparagus left a strong impression, showcasing the quality of their dashi (broth). The wine selection is also excellent.However, the seating arrangement is quite close for this price range, which may lead to concerns about privacy and conversation levels with neighboring tables. The service is friendly, but those seeking the immersive experience and tranquility typical of high-end Japanese cuisine might find it a bit lacking. While the brand offers a sense of reassurance, the ambiance and service aspects could evolve further, making it an even more interesting destination. Less

During Golden Week, I visited Noguchi, which I had been looking forward to. It was a rewarding dining experience.The young chef exudes joy and hospitality, and the course was outstanding, showcasing the quality of the ingredients and the meticulous preparation. Every dish was simply "exquisite."Beyond the beautiful tableware and ambiance, I truly felt that this place is one of a kind.The entire restaurant was lively, and I enjoyed a wonderful time mingling with other guests over drinks.I can't wait for my next visit!

I visited the Noguchi branch in Kyoto Tenjin, which recently opened in Green Green, and surprisingly found reservations available during Golden Week.The chef is famous for training at Wakuden, so I was curious about the dishes we would be served.There was only one course available, priced at JPY 38,000.With high expectations, I arrived at the restaurant!There was no menu, so I wondered what delightful dishes we would be enjoying...**First Dish** Bamboo shoots, sea bream roe, soft roe of sea bream, garnished with kinome (Japanese pepper leaves). As expected, the dashi (broth) was exceptional!**Second Dish** Nori (seaweed), black sushi, young sweetfish, kinome. We rolled it up like a hand roll. The nori was crispy! The young sweetfish was perfectly sized and delicious! The vinegared rice of the black sushi paired wonderfully!**Third Dish** White asparagus and large clam soup. The clam even had the string attached, and I might have never eaten such a large clam before!As the drinks flowed, my memory started to fade, but I’ll do my best to recall everything.**Fourth Dish** Sashimi. Normally, it would be sea bream and bonito, but since I’m not fond of red fish, I switched to abalone. It was perfect! They freshly grated wasabi right in front of me... what a treat!**Fifth Dish** Squid, sea urchin, and caviar. I saved some of the wasabi from earlier to enjoy with this dish. Of course, I asked for more wasabi when needed!**Sixth Dish** I vaguely remember the delicious Japanese sake... Bamboo shoots, amadai (sweetfish), and wakame (seaweed). The portions were just right, and the dashi was delicious as always. They also selected sake that paired perfectly with each dish, and every sake was truly delightful! Oh! There was no sake menu.Wagyu beef with flower pepper. The tender and sweet meat paired wonderfully with the flower pepper!**Seventh Dish** My memory is a bit hazy now... Was it grated daikon with salmon? It was garnished with cherry leaves. The grated daikon was delicious! I enjoyed chatting with the other guests around me, creating a lively atmosphere.**Eighth Dish** Tempura: shrimp, taranome (bitter greens), and fava beans, served with salt and egg yolk soy sauce. This egg yolk soy sauce was incredibly tasty!For the finale, we had bamboo shoot rice cooked in a pot and ume (plum) chazuke (rice soup). Both were absolutely delicious!With exceptional ingredients and outstanding sake, I enjoyed a fun time without the pretentiousness typical of Kyoto, chatting with fellow diners.Ah, it was so delicious!
