I had the lunch course menu. There were many options for the appetizer, but the octopus carpaccio was soft and delicious. For the main course, I chose the Gorgonzola rigatoni, which was rich as expected and paired well with bread.

The lunch set is very delicious. The Porcini and Gorgonzola Rigatoni is highly recommended. The atmosphere of the restaurant is also nice. Even from afar, you'll want to come here regularly. Sometimes lunch can be crowded, so you may have to wait in line.

It is quietly located on the second floor of a stylish building. The atmosphere is great and the food is delicious, with a good cost performance. I had the cherry snapper and new potato something, and my partner had the Gorgonzola pasta which was incredibly delicious! If this were in Umeda, the lunch would probably cost around 2000 yen. But both dishes were around 1500 yen here. The desserts also looked delicious, so I would like to come back for tea next time.

I was invited by a colleague and went to "SAN" restaurant. It is located about 10 seconds' walk from exit 4 of Sakuragawa Station on the Hankai Namba Line. The building has a historical charm and has been renovated to include a cafe, bar, and miscellaneous goods store. The appetizer plate was huge, enough for three people. I wish they had served it on smaller plates for individual portions. The grilled chicken with coconut sauce was delicious and tender. The specialty here is the cheesecake, which was rich and creamy with a hint of blue cheese. The master chef is a handsome man.

More about the appearance than the taste. The taste was average. - Assorted appetizers: A combination that seems to appeal to women. - Carrot and ginger potage: Very rich and the ginger flavor was the best part. - Porcini and Gorgonzola rigatoni: Creamy and a safe choice in terms of taste. However, the flavors of porcini and Gorgonzola were too weak, just lightly fragrant. It seems like they are aiming for a dish that everyone can enjoy. - Cheesecake: It was expected to be legendary, but it had a strange taste from the cooking utensils, and the aroma was not great. Most of all, the iced coffee was too weak to drink.

Love is about choosing the right partner, not about needing them. In the movie "Amsterdam," Bert Berendsen realizes he has been following the wrong god. The logic of capitalists is chilling and self-righteous, and we should not be swayed by their pleasant stories. Tonight, for Valentine's dinner, my wife and I went to "SAN" on the 2nd floor of Shin-Osakagawa Building. It's a popular lunch spot with long wait times, but we were grateful to be able to make a reservation and enjoy a leisurely meal. We had the dinner course which included pork shoulder loin with aioli and herb breadcrumbs for me, and pork belly simmered in black beer for my wife, along with dessert. The appetizer platter, carrot and ginger potage soup, bread, and drinks were also included. Every dish was excellent, especially the pudding which impressed me. It's a common menu item but the quality was exceptional. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal. The atmosphere was nice too, and I would like to try this restaurant again. Keep improving on your path and you will have no regrets.

The melt-in-your-mouth pork belly simmered in black beer with sour onion cream is priced at 1500 yen, with an additional 1000 yen for a drink, coffee, cheesecake, and cookies (cookies are for takeout only). The meat melts in your mouth and is easy to cut with a spoon. The cheesecake is small but delicious and creamy. The prices may seem high for someone from the countryside like me, but the food is incredibly tasty. Perfect for a date night! I would love to go back again. No parking available, but there is a cheap coin parking nearby.

I wanted to go to the popular cafe SAN in Sakuragawa, but I didn't feel like waiting in line. Finally, I decided to go and it turned out they call you when a table is ready. I only had to write my name and phone number and wait outside. I was told there was a 20-30 minute wait, but I was called in after about 10 minutes. I tried the Porcini and Gorgonzola cheesecake, which was rich and creamy with plenty of cheese.

I finally went to the cafe "SAN" that I've been curious about for a while ❤ I was attracted by the Rigatoni lunch that I saw on Instagram ✨ I went without a reservation on a weekday, but the seats were just full with us. If you go on a weekend, I definitely recommend making a reservation. The Rigatoni lunch was very stylish and the taste was even more creamy and delicious than I imagined. The focaccia on the side was also amazing with a strong salty taste ✨

A friend recommended the café SAN in Sakuragawa. I was intrigued by the morning dish of sea bream and olive rice, but ended up getting the porcini and gorgonzola rigatoni for lunch. It had been a while since I had rigatoni, and the combination of porcini and gorgonzola never disappoints. The soup and bread were delicious, but personally, I found the flavors a bit strong and salty for my liking. I know, I ordered gorgonzola, but I usually prefer milder flavors. I might try the morning dish next time.

On Sunday at 11:00, I made a reservation for lunch. It's recommended to make a reservation as the first seating fills up quickly. I had the Porcini and Gorgonzola Rigatoni, followed by a drink and dessert (cheesecake). I also got a souvenir (chocolate banana cardamom cake) for 2,500 yen using PayPay. I was craving Rigatoni, so I visited after a long time. The sauce was just to my liking and really delicious. There were various options for the small plates, different from what my friend had. The Focaccia bread was crispy on the outside and fluffy inside with a perfect amount of salt, which I also enjoyed. For dessert, I had the cheesecake from Kawata Confectionery, which I can only get here since they have closed down. As for the souvenir, I chose the chocolate banana cake this time, but personally, I preferred the honey citrus pound cake over the one with cardamom.

I usually only go for lunch at this place, but I saw on their Instagram account that they take dinner reservations, so I made one and went. It's about a 2-minute walk from Sakuragawa. The interior is small and stylish. The course I had this time included: strawberry and peach avocado salad, winter potage soup, OKUZOE SEIPAN country bread, choice of either porcini and gorgonzola rigatoni or herb aioli breadcrumbs roasted pork shoulder, and dessert with coffee or tea. It cost 3630 yen in total. The food was delicious, but I felt like it was a bit pricey for what I got. I probably won't go back. Service ⚪︎, Taste ○, Price △.

On the final day of the 3-day weekend, I had made plans to meet up with a fishing friend in Taisho-ku to discuss fishing. We decided to go to a restaurant recommended by my fishing friend in Taisho-ku. My friend suggested a place called SAN (San), which is a cafe with 11,000 Instagram followers. The address of SAN is 3-2-1 Sakuragawa, Naniwa-ku, Osaka City, in the New Sakuragawa Building 204, a 5-minute walk from Sakuragawa Station on the Osaka Metro. We arrived at Sakuragawa Station at 1:30 PM, and my fishing friend guided me to the restaurant. Upon arrival, we found out that SAN was quite popular and almost fully booked for lunch, with only one menu item left. We decided to make a reservation and come back later. After 30 minutes, we returned to SAN and were seated at a table. The lunch menu had three options, each with a different price, but adding a drink and dessert made the price the same for all. We ordered the Rigatoni with Porcini and Gorgonzola, along with a Campania bread, and a wine set with both white and red wine. The restaurant had a stylish interior with a mix of old and new elements, creating a pleasant atmosphere. The food presentation was beautiful, and each dish looked appetizing. The Rigatoni was delicious, with a rich and flavorful sauce that paired well with the Campania bread. The side dishes were also impressive, with unique flavors and textures. We enjoyed our meal thoroughly and left the restaurant satisfied. After thanking the staff and settling the bill, we left SAN with plans to return in the future. It was a delightful dining experience, and I look forward to visiting again.

I had the opportunity to go to Namba in the morning, so I decided to visit a cafe that has been rumored to be popular on social media. I wanted to try the Japanese breakfast with a large red snapper on rice that I had been curious about. The cafe was located on the second floor of a mixed-use building, run by two men, and had a cozy interior with tables lined up and a raised seating area in the back. The raised seating area by the window had a nice bright atmosphere. I checked the menu and ordered the following: - Red snapper and olive rice with seasonal soup for 990 yen including tax The food took a bit longer to arrive than I expected, but it was within an acceptable range since I wasn't in a hurry. The dish was delicious with the olive adding a hint of Western flavor to the rice. The large red snapper was also very good. The pickles were well-seasoned, and the soup contained taro, pumpkin, carrots, onions, and had a gentle and tasty broth. Overall, the breakfast was satisfying, but the impression I got from the staff was extremely negative. From the moment I entered until I paid, the service was off-putting. Despite my patience, I left feeling uneasy due to the service. While they offer a variety of Western and Japanese dishes for breakfast and lunch, I have no intention of revisiting. I wanted to give a better rating, but this was my limit. Thank you for the meal.

During winter, I always crave for the melt-in-your-mouth black beer stewed pork belly. At SAN in Osaka, you can enjoy this dish along with a generous serving of cheese cake from the popular confectionery "Kawata Seika." The cozy atmosphere and friendly staff at this small restaurant near the Sakuragawa River in Osaka make it a memorable dining experience. I can't forget the delicious black beer stewed pork belly I had last time, so I'm planning to visit again this year. In Osaka, there are many gourmet spots to explore like Takamura for wine and coffee, Chihiro Patisserie for financiers, and ROUTE271 for bread. I love Tokyo too, but I also want to visit other prefectures and enjoy more delicious food. Hopefully, we can meet again next month. #Osaka #OsakaGourmet #SAN

I couldn't make a reservation for 11:30, so I arrived around 1:30 and had to wait a bit as it was full, but was seated quickly. It's very popular, so I recommend making a reservation on weekdays or weekends. I ordered the popular Porcini and Gorgonzola Rigatoni, which was delicious with its rich sauce and almond slices as a nice touch. The appetizers were all slightly different and enjoyable. The bread was very tasty with a strong olive oil flavor, I wanted to just eat the bread alone! For dessert, I had the cheesecake which was rich and delicious with a nice balance of cheese, salt, and crunchy cookie-like texture. I also tried the Cassata, which was also delicious. It's a bit of a difficult place to get to, but I definitely want to go back again! I'm curious about the other menu items, but I might end up choosing the Rigatoni again.笑

Last year around this time, my favorite KAWATA Seikatei store suddenly closed. Remembering that, I started craving the cheesecake from KAWATA. I visited the store around 1:30 pm on a weekday. The waiting board was filled with names. They had already sold out of the lunch menu by the last order. After seeing more people arriving, I realized how popular the store was. As I was about to leave, I suddenly thought about the cheesecake. I called and asked if they still had cheesecake available. They said they could serve cheesecake until the last order time. I went back to put my name on the waiting board again. After about an hour of waiting, they called me back. I ordered the following: - Cheesecake for 550 yen: It was amazing. The cheesecake was soft and smooth like a terrine. I was impressed by the taste of the KAWATA recipe cheesecake. - Cassata for 500 yen: A dessert with fruits and nuts mixed in an ice cream-like texture. It had a unique crunchy texture and was delicious. Lunch is only available by reservation from 11 am. I will definitely come back for lunch next time. Thank you for the delicious meal.

Rigatoni lunch is buzzing on Instagram! I once tried to come but gave up because it was crowded, so today I thought with the bad weather it might be empty?! I went before 12 o'clock and was able to get in~❤️ - Rigatoni lunch ¥1,320: The short pasta rigatoni is chewy and coated with a rich, fragrant sauce of gorgonzola and porcini mushrooms, which is super delicious! The almond slices and black pepper on top add a nice touch. The sauce is so tasty, rich, and flavorful that you'll want seconds/// The focaccia-like bread with just the right amount of oil and salt is my favorite kind! The soup has a gentle consommé-like flavor with fresh parsley that's nice. The potato and tuna salad is simple with olive oil and vinegar, something I'd like to try making at home♥️ The strawberry and cottage cheese (probably) had a fancy taste like prosciutto and fruit☻☻ By the time we finished eating, 2-3 groups of people were lining up, so you can't really relax, but the delicious taste explains why it's so popular♥️ I'm really curious about the cheesecake, so I'd like to come back for a cafe time or dinner. Thank you for the meal~(੭ु´͈ ᐜ `͈)੭ु⁾⁾

I had the visit sea bream and olive mixed rice with a seasonal soup for breakfast again. I had it when I first visited, but the soup this season has a really gentle sweetness and is delicious!! The mixed rice with sea bream was soft and delicately flavored, making it a happy breakfast. Thank you for the meal!
