Gimpei Osaka-kitashinchi

If you understand food, then you will love this 3 Michelin star Keiseki restaurant. The courts broke my mind. Everything was beautifully plated in an unpredictable way. The court that took me back was the baby-el court. Another wonderful part of the experience is that it is interactive with the chefs and speaks as a chef, I am astonished how much they have done in such a small kitchen. Also it was really cool to see how humble the cook was. You could really see how much his employees love working with him. This is a must-see restaurant in Osaka. Note: For those who do not understand the Michelin rating system. This restaurant was rated 3 stars based on the type of cuisine. Means you can't compare it with Alinea and others because it's a different kind of kitchen, but in his category of keiseki it's superior.

Unique place, flavors and ingredients. Very nice service. Three stars Michelin. The best!

We happen to stumble on this beautiful restaurant... which is good luck. It was amazing.

Koryu is a must for me whenever in Osaka I knew before it received top ratings in the Michelin Guide. It's one of my favorite places in Kansai. Extremely creative with excellent local products. Only 10 or so seats, so reservations are a must

This is an extremely busy Japanese restaurant, where limited seats are available requires advance booking. Dinner is being served on 2 sessions. Food was good but bit disappointing given that I had high expectation as this was a Michelin 3-star restaurant. Interior decoration was mediocre quite crowded. Food quality was high tasted good but nothing that would give a customer a “wow”. Dish presentation was basic but perhaps too basic for a 3-star. Service was good though.
