At the famous "Miyagawa" restaurant in Hokkaido and Tokyo, known for its authentic Japanese cuisine, Miyagawa has opened a branch in Osaka. We visited the 【High-end Japanese Cuisine Sapporo Miyagawa Umeda Store】, where you can fully enjoy their beautiful authentic Japanese cuisine. The restaurant is located on the 5th floor of a building near Ohatsu Tenjin. There is no sign when you get off the elevator on the 5th floor, but if you head left after getting off the elevator, you will find 【Umeda Sushi Miyagawa】. The staff will welcome you and guide you to the upper floor with courteous service. We were guided to a spacious private room with a relaxing atmosphere, but there is also a counter available.
We ordered the Japanese cuisine and sushi course (8,000 yen) this time. We started with a platter of three appetizers: Asari and white vegetable ohitashi, sea bream nanbanzuke, and simmered limpets. The visual beauty of the appetizers was captivating, and the quality of the flavors was impeccable. The taste was delightful from the very beginning. Next, we had the steamed mochi with warm ingredients. Looking from above, you could see flower-shaped gluten and mochi inside, giving a cute and lovely feeling. The steamed dish melted in the mouth, providing a warm and pleasant sensation on the palate.
We also enjoyed the amberjack sashimi with salt and vinegar. The richness of the amberjack and its chewy texture were delightful. The grilled mackerel with miso was beautifully presented, and the slight bitterness blended with the umami flavor, creating an irresistible deliciousness. We also had a tempura platter with three varieties: kisu fish, shiitake mushrooms, and shrimp. Each tempura had a light and crispy coating without any greasiness, allowing the flavors of salt, curry salt, and lemon to shine through.
A vinegar dish served as a palate cleanser, refreshing the mouth with its acidity. The main course of sushi (6 pieces + gourd roll + red miso soup) was a highlight. Each piece of sushi, from scallop to medium fatty tuna, had a unique taste and texture, leaving a long-lasting delicious aftertaste. The balance between the rice and toppings was exceptional. The meal concluded with red miso soup, fruits, and tea, showcasing exceptional hospitality.
The restaurant exuded cleanliness, and the private rooms provided a quiet atmosphere for an enjoyable dining experience. The staff's lovely smiles, welcoming and farewell greetings, and overall service were delightful. Although we dined in a private room and didn't interact with the chefs at the counter, we felt their dedication and warmth through their words. I look forward to revisiting the wonderful restaurant for a solo drink at the counter next time. Highly recommended!
