Osaka, Japan｜Hozenji Yokocho wasabi

This was an incredible experience. I have been to 60 countries and many of the "Top 50" restaurants in the world and this was an experience that was better than many of those restaurants. I would recommend they add truffle salt to the table, and more fresh wasabi ... Other than that pure delight and joy and perfection.

Everything is better deep fried. The head chef is incredibly accommodating and the sommelier (from AWA upstairs) knows her wine. Let the chef know when you’ve had enough. There are 30 different skewers and she will just keep cooking until she hits 30 if you let her. Bookings are set for 2 hours.

We come again after many years later and we still enjoy the food and the cosy environment. The oil-fried dishes are still delicious and amazing.
