Nose, Osaka, Japan｜能勢 日本料理 新

Absolutely fabulous dinner here. It’s traditional Japanese kaiseki with some French-inspirations and you get to enjoy it in the comfort of a European dining room (they do also have a tatami room, but I can only kneel for so long). This place feels like it’s on its way to Michelin recognition so I would make sure you come here now before it becomes too difficult to make a reservation. Cannot recommend this place enough.

Came to this place by recommendation from a friend. It is not the easiest restaurant to get to, but the food, experience, and atmosphere outweigh every logistical inconvenience. Each dish was carefully described, and ingredients are only seasonal (all locally sourced). Some of the food presentation was mind-blowing in terms of creativity. I would recommend every friend visiting the Kyoto/Osaka area to eat at this restaurant.

Great food and lovely surroundings. Seasonal ingredients, locally sourced. Because the restaurant is in a remote location, they offered pick up and drop off service from the train station.
