in osaka, japan (jan’24)

one of the most famous washoku restaurants in osaka, housed in dotonburi, tucked in a small alleyway filled with very touristy restaurants. really loved the ambience here, 3 floors of a small traditional japanese house, with the counter seats on ground floor and the private room on the top floor.

the ingredients here weren’t pristine but cooking was very good, very very traditional kaiseki. preparations here were also very precise, hassun was beautiful with small details... More

in osaka, japan (jan’24)

one of the most famous washoku restaurants in osaka, housed in dotonburi, tucked in a small alleyway filled with very touristy restaurants. really loved the ambience here, 3 floors of a small traditional japanese house, with the counter seats on ground floor and the private room on the top floor.

the ingredients here weren’t pristine but cooking was very good, very very traditional kaiseki. preparations here were also very precise, hassun was beautiful with small details like uni stuffed in ebi, negi and masu maki etc. kani course here was also very nice, we had 1 whole crab between the two of us, served in shabu shabu, grilled then with miso, before it is served in the end as gohan which was super delicious. the last shime was also a homemade soba with fugu shirako sauce which we enjoyed very much. first experience here with the tongue of a whale which was interesting, and really enjoyed the unconventional calpis ice cream with kinkan and kinkan jam. finished with a black bean yokan and matcha.

this season’s ingredients really spoke to us so we enjoyed our experience here very much, service was also very good and taisho was extremely nice. but with its traditional preparations i wouldn’t say i’d be as fond of it if we visited at any other season. maybe one day i will revisit for the counter experience if i have a chance, the experience should be fairly different.

Dinner at 本湖月

Honkogetsu 本湖月 1st visit — highly rated kaiseki in Osaka, photos not allowed but still deserves a post. Traditional setting, seasonality here is reflected in both ingredients and tableware. In fact tableware is a major part of the experience — one dish was served in a 200+ years old bowl. Some highlights were shoro mushroom, uni & kare wrap, grilled torigai, and whale saetsuri (tongue) & hana sansho shabu. The experience would have been even better had I spoken Japanese as the chef also... More

A classic kaiseki restaurant in Osaka. Top notch ingredients with seasonal crab dishes.
