Sakai, Osaka, Japan｜創菜和献楽

Fresh and delicious! Service was amazing and the food was even better! In a quaint, comfortable area with cozy setting and excellent ambiance- highly recommend this place!

This is a restaurant that is a little higher grade than a polite and delicate izakaya. The price is a little high, but the taste of the food outweighs it, so I think everyone is satisfied with it. Why not stop by when you come to Sakai Higashi?

When you enter from the introduction of the location of the store, the nearest station is Nankai Railway Sakai Higashi Station, cross the main road in front of the north entrance of Takashimaya Sakai store, walk straight west, turn left at the second intersection, and the store will be on your left. A Kyoto-style eel restaurant that looks like a restaurant. Approximately 3 minutes after crossing the road, you will see a storefront with a noren curtain reminiscent of a long-established small restaurant. When you enter the restaurant, you will be greeted with a clear, ``Welcome!'' voice from the owner, who is clearly a well-trained and well-trained chef. When I looked around the store, I saw that there was a good customer base, and people of all ages, male and female, were enjoying the food and drinks in a mannered manner. As I learned later, in addition to the counter I used, there was a large table made of wood, and several table seats in the back right. Of course, it goes without saying that this is a store where you can feel safe and have taken precautions against the coronavirus. The most important thing is the food, but I thought it would be easier to understand if readers of the review could imagine it instead of using harsh words of praise, so I would like to express my impressions. I went on a trip from Hokkaido in the north to Kyushu and Okinawa in the south, ate lots of delicious food at inns and hotels, and enjoyed myself for a while after returning home... No matter what you eat, the taste tends to be halved. Osaka is a city where you can eat a lot of food, and there are many shops where you can buy 10,000 bills and pay a lot of money. However, at this creative Japanese restaurant, you can enjoy dishes that will satisfy your taste buds, which have become extravagant and tasteless when you are traveling, with just a little more budget than you would get at a regular izakaya. It means "easy." I don't really want to tell you! Even if that's not the case, depending on the date and time, there are so many repeat customers that you won't be able to get in without making a reservation. First of all, not only older couples but also young couples use this place for casual dates because women say, ``You know a nice adult restaurant❣️''. This is quite a long review, but I'm not affiliated with this restaurant, and I'm just one customer. Of course, it's not Sakura either! However, it goes without saying that I decided to become a repeat customer of this restaurant after getting to know the owner and head chef, who is seriously pursuing his culinary career. One last thing: I heard that the husband was originally from Fukuoka and was the head chef at a famous restaurant in Namba. Although each plate may be small, the preparation, freshness, and taste will never disappoint. 👋
