This is a restaurant where you can enjoy various delicious dishes a la carte. The dishes I had included marinated mushrooms, boiled octopus in water, tender simmered abalone, fried abalone with seaweed, fresh sashimi of white shrimp and sea urchin, golden yellowtail from Yura, bluefin tuna sashimi, tempura, grilled Mahi-Mahi, salad, vinegar stew of conger eel and sea cucumber, steamed salmon roe, beef tendon and matsutake mushroom simmered in sake, grilled miso-marinated salmon roe, oil-boiled sweetfish, chicken broth dipping soba, Otsuki soy sauce ramen, draft beer, sake, highball, and Otsuki brand. My stomach is so satisfied!

Everyone orders their favorite dishes randomly, so sometimes you end up trying something you wouldn't have chosen yourself. It's interesting to discover how delicious some dishes are, like the pork belly salad with Shaoxing wine or the Miso-marinated grilled fish. We finish with a generous shrimp tempura rice bowl or ramen. The ramen at the end is the best!! The atmosphere of the restaurant is great, and the chef is very friendly. It's a wonderful place. I wish there was a restaurant like this near my home.

One of my favorite shops in Fukushima, Osaka is Otsuki-san. When you enter the shop, Nishiguchi-san always greets you with a smile, making you feel comfortable and at ease. The "clam soup" served as a starter was a thoughtful touch, perfect for warming up on a cold day. The first photo shows the classic "sashimi assortment," with the white shrimp and sea urchin being particularly delicious. The third photo of the "grilled fugu shirako with salt" is a must-try for me this season, with the creamy texture of the shirako being incredibly tasty. The "eel and kikuna potato warm salad" in the fourth photo was also delicious, with the crunchy texture of the kikuna potato complementing the eel's flavor perfectly. The fifth photo shows the "soft simmered octopus," followed by the "conger eel and young burdock yam yamagawa-style" in the sixth photo, and the "oyster fry" in the seventh photo. Each dish was meticulously prepared and seasoned perfectly. The eighth photo shows Otsuki-san's signature dish, the "soy sauce ramen," which was a perfect way to end the meal with its rich and flavorful broth. Despite the upscale atmosphere, this shop offers a relaxed dining experience with delicious cuisine. Be sure to check it out! 🍽️✨

The "grilled fugu shirako with salt" is a favorite of mine during this season, with the creamy texture of the shirako being incredibly tasty. The "grilled eel and kikuna potato warm salad" had a nice crunch from the kikuna potato and watercress, complementing the flavor of the eel perfectly. The "soft-boiled octopus" and "grilled conger eel and young burdock in Yanagawa style" were also delicious. Each dish was meticulously prepared and had a comforting flavor. For the finale, the "soy sauce ramen" was a perfect choice, with a flavorful soup that was light and satisfying. Despite the upscale atmosphere, Otsuki-san is a place where you can enjoy delicious food without any pretense.

This place is going to be a hit ♥️ I was taken to this restaurant, which opened just 2 months ago, by a friend. The head chef of this restaurant used to work under the famous chef Ichiro Shimanouchi, whom I also love, for 8 years. I have a feeling this place is a winner already! - Appetizer - Figs with sesame cream: The sweet and creamy figs paired with the elegant sesame cream were irresistible. - Sashimi Platter - Mackerel sashimi: Delicious and oily. Yellowtail belly: Melts in your mouth. Grilled conger eel: Amazing texture and flavor. Bluefin tuna: How can it not be delicious? Squid: Sweet and tender. Pork belly and black sesame soup: Loved it, like a tofu milk hot pot with a sesame flavor. - Grilled Dish - Grilled eel: Crispy skin and tender flesh with a light soy sauce that enhances the quality of the ingredients. - Tempura - Mushroom tempura: Creamy mushroom with a rich and slightly peppery cream that was heavenly. - Chicken Dish - Awaodori chicken teriyaki: Tender chicken with a sweet and tangy teriyaki sauce that had a nice thick texture. My personal top 3 favorites were: 1. Grilled eel 2. Figs with sesame cream & Mushroom cream 3. Pork belly and sesame soup, all dishes were delicious. It was a relaxing and enjoyable experience with good food. I would love to try more dishes next time. Overall, it was a fun and delicious dining experience. Thank you for the meal! ♥️

On a hot summer night in late July of this year (’22), I encountered a new counter-style Japanese restaurant called "Daigetsu" in Osaka Fukushima. The restaurant exudes a sense of luxury while maintaining a relaxed atmosphere, with a live cooking experience and impressive creative a la carte menu. The owner, Masakazu Nishiguchi, honed his skills for 8 and a half years at the renowned Osaka Shinsaibashi restaurant "Shimanouchi Ichiyō" before opening his own establishment. The interior of the restaurant features a hinoki counter, and the balance between luxury and casual vibes is just right, making it a delightful place to enjoy food and drinks. During my visit, I was warmly greeted and served by the friendly owner and a young female staff member. Starting with a bottle of beer and a complimentary appetizer of "Okahijiki, Crab, and Itaya Clam with Japanese-style Hollandaise sauce," I could already sense the chef's skillful craftsmanship and rich harmony of flavors. I then proceeded to order dishes such as "Bluefin Tuna Sashimi," "Bonito Tataki," "Mikawa Eel Soy Grilled," "Crab Cream Spring Roll," and "Shrimp Tempura and Tamago Rice Bowl," each meticulously prepared with attention to detail. The grilled eel stood out for its perfectly balanced fat content and seasoning, while the crab cream spring roll was a standout dish with its deep flavors and creamy texture. The finale of the meal, the shrimp tempura and tamago rice bowl, also impressed with its harmonious combination of flavors. I paired the meal with a glass of "Chou-Ōroku," a junmai sake from Shimane's Ōroku Sake Brewery, served in a beautiful tin sake pitcher and glass. The drink menu featured clear pricing, with sake priced at 900 yen per serving, shochu at 600 yen, wine at 950 yen per glass, whiskey at 600 yen, and soft drinks at 500 yen. The atmosphere and service at the restaurant were casual and welcoming, with the owner even offering pickled cabbage and plum wine after the meal. Despite the restaurant being fully booked with regular customers of the owner, I, as a first-time visitor, felt relaxed and thoroughly enjoyed my dining experience. The total bill for one appetizer, two sashimi dishes, three main dishes, a bottle of beer, and a serving of sake came to 9,570 yen including tax. While the prices may be on the higher side, the unique charm of a la carte kaiseki dining at "Daigetsu" is worth experiencing, offering a high-quality Japanese cuisine with the chef's personal touch and creativity. If you're looking to enjoy authentic Japanese cuisine in a casual setting, I highly recommend visiting this up-and-coming gem in Osaka. "Daigetsu" is open from 5:00 PM to midnight and conveniently located near JR Fukushima/Shin-Fukushima Station.

The atmosphere is sophisticated and upscale! The food was all delicious and carefully prepared. It's great that you can order a la carte.

Great!!
