Suita, Osaka, Japan｜江坂 天ぷら 日本料理 旬彩天つちや

Amazing food, one of the friendliest chefs i have ever met.

This is an excellent restaurant serving the best Tempura along with delicious Kaiseki courses. Delicious, elegant and refined but not pretentious. Perfect balances and an impressive eye for detail. The restaurant is located in a traditional Japanese house close to Esaka Station, about 20 minutes cab ride from the main tourist areas. Mr Tsuchisaka is a masterful chef, using seasonal ingredients. He started running his own restaurant when he was 37 (in 2008) and has held 2 Michelin stars since 2012.

Went in autumn 2017. It is honestly a game changer when it comes to tempura. I much prefer sushi and could not understand how good tempura is until i tried it. The lunch menu is really a steal for the quality of food. Each piece of tempura is exquisite. And the lunch set comes with the usual - appetizers, sashimi, rice, cooked dishes and dessert. Worth a visit if you are in Osaka.
