Che cosa è Osaka?: Osaka is a dynamic gateway in Japan where everyday flavors and artisanal techniques coexist. The city is often associated with the playful spirit of kuidaore, and that convivial mindset shapes a dining scene that encourages grazing through neighborhoods, from sizzling takoyaki stands and hearty okonomiyaki counters to crisp kushikatsu, dashi-forward udon, and refined kaiseki-inspired plates. Market arcades and waterfront districts invite seafood-focused menus, while cozy izakaya alleys, noodle shops, and sweets artisans reflect a love of approachable, seasonal tastes. Pressed sushi traditions and a fondness for rich yet balanced broths hint at Kansai’s palate. As a historic merchant center tied to trade and entertainment, Osaka nurtured quick, flavorful cooking and a culture of lively hospitality that continues to influence its tables today. Visitors may find that both classic comfort dishes and globally inspired kitchens share the same emphasis on warmth, rhythm, and the joy of eating together.
I never thought the day would come when I would finally be able to visit... @ Kitashinchi
There is a restaurant that I have been longing to visit for a long time!
The genre is sushi!
The most famous sushi restaurant in Osaka!
Sushi Restaurant Tada
No first-time customers, introductions are required.
Even if you want to go there, you have to have someone who has been there before.
This time, one of our regular customers reserved a private table for us, and we were able to join him!
In case you are interested, you are not allowed to take pictures here.
But when it's a private party, you can take as many pictures as you want!
Of course, I have permission to take pictures!
This is the story of our visit in March.
I'd like to upload some of the great restaurants I've put off for the rest of 2019!
It's like a commemoration of my visit to Tada-san!
I'll write about the dishes and the notes I took.
Today's story case
I'm so excited to see how this story will be cooked!
Toast with bubbles!
Mr. Tada is an ambassador of KRUG, sorry... I freaked out and decided to go with this bubbly!

The wakame shabu shabu was so delicious that it made me wonder what kind of wakame I had eaten before. It was so delicious that I wondered what wakame I had eaten before! The eggs are a privilege of one of the sections of the restaurant, and each egg is stamped with a freshly baked stamp, which is a symbol of KRUG's hope that Hanshin will win! There is also a KRUG version of the imprint! He not only serves dishes but also entertains us with his at-home kindness and boldness. No wonder he has many fans. I can't come here regularly, but I would like to visit again sometime as a reward for my hard work. Thank you for the food.
