The owner-chef focuses on the blessings of nature to bring out the unvarnished flavours of his ingredients. He starts off each meal by presenting the items that have arrived that day. In support of the producers who underpin Osaka’s food, he applies his skills to the traditional vegetables of Naniwa. Past experience at a fishmonger also enables him to source high-quality seafood. He prizes the inherent flavour of each ingredient above all, so keeps arrangements simple. Antique tableware highlights seasonal dishes.
