Osaka, Japan｜Yoshikawa Tempura

A must-do experience when in Osaka! We went there after doing a few researches on Google and we couldn't be happier to have chosen this restaurant. At first, I admit we had a bit of trouble in finding it. It is in Semba Center Building, close to Hommachi st. We walked by many Izakaya/Happy hours places until we found the restaurant (if it is of any help, you need to go downstairs and it is close to the women's toilet). The environment here was completely different of those in the izakaya. Jazz music on the background, one waitress and one chef. Tempura are made on the spot,m and they make sure timing is perfect (they won't serve you the next round until you are finished with your previous dish). Tempuras were phenomenal, and I recommend to get the squid with the shiso leaf (they have translated into Japanese basil). I have never tasted such a tender squid in my life before (really). 10 out of 5 star for their amazing tempura, environment, service and kindness!

We were looking for really good Tempura in Osaka and found this place on Google reviews so we had to check it out. It was amazing! We chose the chefs choice which is a combination of vegetable and fish. Squid and Pike were the best but everything was great. (Squid was one of the best bites I’ve ever had). If you want fantastic, affordable tempura in Osaka with wonderful service to match then give it a go!

The best tempura dinner I have ever had. The chef carefully paces your meal so each course is fresh, hot and crispy. The tempura is so light and the food is cooked perfectly, not over or under cooked and no grease. The full meal for 2500¥ is enough to fill you up. Great sake selection and the prices can't be beat for the quality. As a note, this restaurant is a bit hard to find as it is underground but ask directions, you will not be disappointed.
