At first glance, the exterior of the restaurant looks stylish and inviting. Inside, the atmosphere is bright and welcoming, with a kitchen featuring a symbolic tree that adds to the homey feel. The Spanish cuisine served is vibrant and delicate, with colorful tapas and appetizers that impressed from the start. The paella made with seasonal firefly squid was exquisite. For dessert, they offered a Basque cheesecake with a twist - a creamy style with blue cheese accents that paired perfectly with drinks. The wine selection focuses on Spanish wines, with some natural options available, catering to a wide range of customers. Although there is no wine list, the staff can recommend options based on preferences. Overall, this is a casual and versatile restaurant suitable for everyday dining or special occasions. Thank you for the wonderful meal! Yum!

It's been a long time since I met up with my friend for dinner, maybe a year? The restaurant was chosen by my friend, but I chose Asador Roca, a Spanish cuisine restaurant that I've been curious about. The nearest station is Yodoyabashi Station. The restaurant has a counter and tables, with a prominent brick grill in front of the counter where fish and meat are grilled. It seems enjoyable to watch the grilling process from the counter. Currently, they only serve dinner, and they offer an omakase course for 11,000 yen, which includes wine pairing if requested. They aim for customers to enjoy both the alcohol and the food. The dishes included Champagne, Pinchos, pickles, Iberico ham and fig, uni, goat cheese, homemade roast ham, pistachio, honey, canapé, Bluefin tuna tartare, Aomori asparagus with egg yolk sauce, roasted Japanese butterfish, grilled eggplant with garlic oil, Spanish-style big-sized red snapper, roasted nuts sauce, Kagoshima lamb, rare-grilled Japanese beef lamb loin, and more. The meal ended with a charcoal-baked cheesecake and chocolate gelato. The restaurant was recommended by a gourmet friend, and it was a delightful dining experience with meticulous attention to detail. Thank you for the delicious meal, Asador Roca!

They used to offer lunch service before, but now they only have a dinner course (11000 yen). When making a reservation, it was mentioned that drinks are either by the bottle or with a pairing order. The stance is for people who enjoy wine to come. Out of the 4 members, I can only drink a little, but 2 people drink a lot, and 1 person drinks moderately, so we quickly met the quota for a bottle. After that, we could drink as much as we liked, but considering the quality and quantity of the food, it was surprisingly reasonable. They have a wide selection of delicious and rare wines, all from Spain. 1. Iberico Bellota (I think) Salt-cured olives - Freshly arrived the day before, the sweetness and richness of the fat were exquisite. Sliced a bit thick with a good texture. 2. Sweet shrimp, sea urchin, and teardrop beans in consomme - Teardrop beans are young peas shaped like tears, with soft skin and a creamy texture. 3. Spanish goat cheese, homemade prosciutto, pistachio, and New Zealand honey pinchos - A classic dish with tender ham, slightly acidic goat cheese, and honey that go perfectly together. 4. Lightly seared marinated mackerel, fresh mushrooms, grilled paprika, and eggplant in oil and vinegar. 5. Grilled French white asparagus and Kyushu cuttlefish with mint sherry vinegar and garlic - The refreshing mint complements the squid and white asparagus well. 6. Grilled white sea bream with potatoes and clams in Andalusian sherry soup - I think Spanish cuisine's fish is delicious after Japanese cuisine. 7. Grilled golden eye snapper with rapeseed blossoms and Biscayan sauce roasted almonds - Biscayan sauce is made with Spanish dry red peppers. 8. Pyrenean suckling lamb grilled - The meat is tender and flavorful, with complex spices like cumin and oregano as accents. 9. Kagoshima wagyu lamb loin grilled with Portuguese Madeira wine and brandy sauce horseradish truffle oil - It has a nice aroma. The surface is crispy, but the inside is quite rare. 10. Firefly squid clay pot paella with pickled chili peppers - Cooked in a clay pot, so it's more moist than paella cooked in an iron pot. The rice absorbs more flavor. Be careful as the pickled chili peppers are very spicy. 11. Cheesecake with plenty of almond powder and chocolate cake - This cheesecake has blue cheese in it, so you can taste the saltiness, giving it an adult flavor, very delicious. 12. Cortado coffee - A Spanish espresso with milk. They also offer other coffee options like espresso, cafe au lait, etc. The chef trained in Rioja, a wine-producing region, and then spent 10 years training at El Poniente after returning to Japan. He is quiet but has a wealth of knowledge about wine.

My friend made a reservation for us, so I arrived earlier than the scheduled time. The food was amazing! Small dishes kept coming out one after another, allowing us to enjoy with both our eyes and taste buds. The wine pairing was truly delicious.

The shop had a very nice atmosphere that caught my eye when I passed by originally. I didn't stop then, but I made a mental note to come back. It was a cozy place for a casual birthday celebration with three friends born in August. We enjoyed starting with pinchos, corn sorbet, and watarigani jelly, followed by a refreshing combination of gaspacho and peaches. The highlight was the tuna with perilla leaf, red sea bream asado, conger eel asado, and wagyu beef asado. The meal ended perfectly with cheesecake and pineapple sorbet. The recommended orange wine was also a hit! It was an unforgettable birthday celebration in a wonderful setting.

After a long time, I had Spanish cuisine with a variety of fresh ingredients such as crab, sweet shrimp, sea urchin, tuna, white sea bream, and Den Suke eel. The peach gazpacho was amazing, especially for peach lovers like me. The wine was also delicious and complemented the meal well. Everything was undoubtedly delicious, but the cheesecake was out of this world! It was so creamy and incredibly tasty! I would love to eat it every day. The course menu was 8800 yen and with 4-5 glasses of wine, it came to around 15000 yen. I was extremely satisfied and would love to go back again.

The omakase course costs 9680 yen. It starts with pinchos and includes two fish dishes, offering a fun modern Spanish dining experience with multiple dishes. The flavors are simply delicious. However, the atmosphere is a bit tense and makes you feel suffocated throughout the meal.

I've always wanted to try the Spanish Basque cuisine at Roca-san. The atmosphere inside the restaurant is calm and relaxing. The course menu for the day included pinchos, marinated mackerel and mushrooms, white asparagus and squid, golden eye snapper and rapeseed flowers with Bizkaia sauce, lamb, and Kagoshima beef. The delicate and meticulous Spanish dishes were delicious.

I don't have much knowledge about Spanish cuisine, and I believe this was probably the first time I had a course meal. My impression is... this is delicious! It may sound vague, but I felt that the focus was more on highlighting the flavors of the ingredients rather than creating distinct outlines with sauces, emphasizing the overall taste of the dishes. It was very interesting as I got to experience many new flavors. The most impactful dish was one with an unknown name that was like the Bremen Town Musicians, combining shiitake mushrooms, pancetta, shrimp, and prosciutto. It brought together ingredients from the mountains, sea, and land, with the shiitake mushrooms standing out as a wonderfully delicious and strong foundation that tied everything together. The squid ink dish, meat dishes, and mussel rice were also fantastic, but the homemade cheesecake for dessert left a lasting impression with its incredibly delicious taste. If possible, I would have wanted to buy a whole cheesecake to take home. I would like to explore further to find out if this particular restaurant stood out or if Spanish cuisine in general is this good, so I would like to visit another restaurant as well.

Visited in August 2021, a 6-minute walk from Yodoyabashi Station on the Osaka Metro Midosuji Line. We had a lunch course at a stylish Spanish restaurant where we left it to the chef. The name of the restaurant, "Asador," means charcoal-grilled or firewood-grilled. The dishes by the chef who knows the characteristics of firewood and charcoal inside out exceeded our expectations in terms of deliciousness. From appetizers to desserts, the sense of the chef is evident in the exciting presentation and unique dishes. Reservation required. Lunch Course B (8 items) with dessert and coffee included. Asador Roca (Peach and Spider Crab Gazpacho) 06-6121-2400 1F Atre Miyukihiranomachi Building, 2-6-4 Hiranomachi, Chuo-ku, Osaka City, Osaka.

It was honestly a great restaurant - affordable, delicious, and homey. We had a course meal, but they were flexible with the portion size and very kind. The location was a bit far from the station, but easy to find. The cozy interior with a small counter and tables was very nice.

I had decided that when there is a special occasion, I would revisit a restaurant that I found to be delicious and memorable in my memory. The restaurant that left a strong impression on me when I visited last year was here. For me, the seasoning, portion size, and wine pairing were the best I have ever had. Once again, I was completely satisfied with the beautiful presentation of the pintxos and the grilled dishes, and I enjoyed a wonderful evening getting drunk on Spanish wine. I would like to visit again in the summer.

I finally got a reservation at a restaurant I've been wanting to try for a long time! It seems like they have reduced the number of seats due to COVID, as there were only two groups dining at lunchtime. No wonder it was so hard to get a reservation. I had the 5,000 yen lunch course. I don't really know much about Spanish cuisine, but it was incredibly delicious! I was pleasantly surprised by how tasty it was. However, my friend and I were laughing a lot during the meal, and the staff didn't seem too happy about it, which made us a bit uncomfortable. Maybe it's because of the pandemic. It's a shame because the food was really delicious. But I would like to visit this restaurant again if I have the chance!

In Osaka, there is a charming shop with a fragrant scent of grilling meat that stimulates the appetite. The main meat dishes were also very delicious. The friendly atmosphere created by the chef and his wife is wonderful. I would recommend this shop. They also served a variety of wines. I would like to visit again.

Asador Roca in Kitahama, Osaka Course lunch (5000 yen) Asador Roca in Kitahama, Osaka is highly praised for its overwhelming cost performance and high quality dishes. First, the appetizers: - Glass of seko crab and sea urchin - Goat cheese and prosciutto with honey - Jamon Serrano and persimmon The appetizers are captivating... The perfectly cooked mackerel with eggplant and paprika underneath. The sliced mushrooms are beautiful. The soup with leeks and scallops is irresistible. The scallops are delicious. The golden eye snapper is incredibly tasty! The Kagoshima beef asado has a crispy sear on the outside, and juicy rare meat inside. The horseradish adds a nice kick.

The cheesecake is one of the best I've ever had. A must-try! The raspberry ice cream is incredibly rich and delicious. I also want to try the lobster in the dinner course...

I wanted to go to the restaurant Asador ROCA. I had heard it was delicious, but it was really amazing and just my taste. It has become one of my favorite restaurants! The deliciousness didn't stop from the first dish. The cod roe ajillo, meat dishes, and the crab rice at the end were all incredibly delicious. Can you really get so many delicious items at such a reasonable price? The cost performance is the best! I definitely want to go for lunch as well. The restaurant was also cute and had a cozy atmosphere.

Sometimes I search for Spanish cuisine, and this time I made a reservation at a restaurant in Osaka called Albores, which is known for its exceptional Spanish dishes. I opted for the 5000 yen course with a glass of Spanish white wine. The wine, Ophalum, was dry and refreshing with fruity notes. The meal started with three types of pintxos: Basque ham canapé, sea urchin and tuna tartare, and Spanish ham canapé topped with goat cheese and New Zealand honey. The crispy texture of the bread and the sweet and salty flavors were impressive. Next, there was marinated grilled golden eye snapper with roasted red pepper oil and raw mushrooms, followed by a baguette from Boulangerie Takagi. The soup with thinly sliced potatoes and black truffle had a gentle flavor with a hint of truffle aroma. Grilled white asparagus with egg yolk, cream, and bacon-infused sauce was topped with plenty of sheep's cheese. The sauce had depth and was outstanding. The grilled sweetfish from Yamaguchi with Biscay sauce had crispy scales and finely chopped nuts for added texture. The Biscay sauce, made with dried red peppers, garlic, and olive oil, complemented the dish well. The grilled Kagoshima black wagyu beef had a crispy surface and moist interior, cooked perfectly in a wood-fired oven. Although I was already quite full, the horseradish on the beef provided an extra kick. The chestnut crab and sea urchin paella featured a type of crab found in Hokkaido and Aomori with a rich miso flavor. The dessert was a baked cheesecake with pineapple ice cream, which was delicious. I chose the Café Cortado as my post-meal drink, a milk-infused espresso popular in Spain. The restaurant's traditional Spanish dishes with a touch of Japanese delicacy and elegance were a perfect match for me. I have visited other Spanish restaurants like Aralde, Echola, and Enye, but Albores has become my favorite.

Roka-san's charcoal-grilled restaurant in Osaka is the best place to enjoy Basque cuisine. They always offer a wonderful menu and wine selection. This time, we had delicious dishes such as Saba Pil Pil, Kumamoto Wagyu Chuletón, Paella, Grilled Lobster, Wild Boar, and Basque Cheesecake. Everything was amazing! The special charcoal grilling technique by the chef was outstanding. The staff, including the knowledgeable wife who recommended wine pairings, made our experience even better. Everyone left satisfied and we will definitely be back again.

This is the best restaurant I've been to recently!♡♡ I recommended it to many acquaintances the day after I went! I made a reservation after seeing it on Instagram, and there were 5,000 yen and 8,000 yen courses for dinner, so I chose the 8,000 yen course! There seems to be à la carte options as well. Every dish from start to finish was truly delicious! The combinations, seasoning, and cooking were all exquisite! And the Basque cheesecake for dessert was amazing. I had 4 glasses of wine. I asked for omakase based on my preferences, and everything was delicious! The restaurant seems to be run by a husband and wife, and I had a nice chat with them. They had a friendly and warm atmosphere which was lovely♡ The atmosphere of the restaurant was calm, cute, and wonderful. It's also great for a date! I think the quality and quantity for this price is very reasonable! I left feeling very full! Thank you for the meal♡ I will definitely visit again♡

Asador ROCA was delicious and exceeded my expectations! The rice dish with snow crab and sea urchin was the best I've ever had. The creamy white fish roe ajillo was perfect with bread. The grilled Japanese beef, lightly seared golden eye snapper, and charcoal-grilled vegetables were all so amazing that I wanted to eat them three times over.♥️
