Osaka, Japan｜Uodokoro Tengo

My friend introduced me to this hidden gem. If you’re a chef who understand seasonal ingredients and it’s value, please make your way here. The chef spends more time gathering good quality in-season ingredients making their authentic Japanese meal. The chef kindly explains the detail of each food. His menu changes every 2 weeks since certain ingredients becomes unavailable due to the season. The price was very reasonable considering the quality of the ingredients. I wouldn’t recommend coming here to stuff your belly but if you appreciate the value of ingredients and the thought put into each dish, you’re welcomed here. Bonus to try these food with the recommended sake.

If you can speak a little Japanese, you will enjoy this local restaurant. This is a restaurant where you can enjoy Japanese seasonal seafood and vegetable dishes that are personally selected by the chef. Recommended for pescatarians. If you tell them the price and what you can't eat, they will serve creative Japanese dishes that match it. The chef said that if you make a reservation in advance, he can also serve a vegan menu.

The price was reasonable and the food was delicious. There is no menu for foreigners, and ordering isn't easy if you don't know any Japanese (and no pictures). However, the sashimi platter was very fresh, and there was also ochazuke and onigiri, so it was nice to have a quick meal.
