Wow what an experience here. Highly recommend this spot to anyone who is interested in trying fugu (puffer fish). The VIP fugu and crab course is the best experience for sure. You get to try different ways the fugu is prepared and each has a unique flavor. Go here you are in for a treat.
It is an excellent place for a puffer fish experience. If you go for the set, they do the fish in different varieties from sashimi (meat + skin), steamed, deep fried & soup. Snow crab leg done sashimi + steamed. Also had the mixed hotpot with live abalone! Friendly staff too. We enjoyed our time there.
Came here without a reservation and thankfully got a table. The service was very friendly and helpful, the crab was super fresh and delicious. A truly memorable dining experience in Osaka—arigatou gozaimasu
Food was ok. Take off shoes to go upstairs. Atmosphere and decor is plain and simple. Staff nice.
Had a great time today! Food was amazing and service exceptional.
Loved the crab set menu! It was well selected and everything in it was tasty and delicious. Love the abalone, crab legs, the egg porridge and the hot pot. Overall the food was fresh and delicious, right size and the service was friendly and attentive. Thank you for the food and great service! Highly recommend! I made reservations online. The place was full when I left around 8.20pm.
The food was excellent. Fried Fugu was delicious. It may not be for everyone, but the Crab Leg Sushi was delicious. Same for the Egg and Rice Kongee.
Very delicious food! We ordered the snow crab course and the fugu course. Both are excellent. The servers are very attentive and the restaurant has a quiet refined atmosphere.
