Today's lunch was at Bistro Sumire near Imamiya Ebisu! For the lunch menu, you can choose between roast pork or roast young chicken, and I went with the pork. I also ordered a dessert and coffee set at the beginning! The restaurant is run by a quiet owner who manages everything alone. First, a salad with hidden cucumber pickles, featuring sunny lettuce and carrot slaw, is served. Then, a cold corn potage with bread is offered, sweet and refreshing, very delicious! The roast pork comes with two large slices, accompanied by stir-fried bell peppers, potatoes, eggplants, lotus roots, and green peppers. As I've thought before, the combination of meat and seasonal vegetables is amazing. The sauce is also incredibly tasty! And all this for only 1,100 yen plus 400 yen for dessert. The dessert was a pumpkin cheesecake with watermelon, which was much appreciated on this hot day. As I was leaving, the quiet owner bid me farewell and said, "Thank you for coming all the way here in this heat!" I left feeling very happy and satisfied. Thank you for the meal!

About an 8-minute walk from Ebisucho Station, next to Hirota Shrine, there is a French bistro called Sumire. The surrounding area transitions from the lively electric town to a quiet residential neighborhood with sparse foot traffic, giving off a slightly lonely vibe. However, the restaurant offers dishes tailored to each customer using the freshest vegetables, fruits, seafood, and meat sourced from the nearby Kizu Market. The owner is very sincere and values communication with customers. They strive to provide dishes that will make customers happy, and their dedication is truly impressive. The wine selection is carefully curated, and while there is no shortage of options, on my first visit, I chose to sample sparkling, white, and red wines by the glass. The owner's kindness in serving wines that complement the dishes was also satisfying. This place feels like a hidden gem, and I was pleasantly surprised by what I found. Reservations are a must as the owner prepares the menu according to each customer's preferences.

The owner runs the restaurant alone. With about 10 seats, it's better to make a reservation before going. The lunch course includes salad, soup, a main meat dish, and bread, just the right amount and very delicious. I think it was 1,100 yen? It's tasty and satisfying, worth more than the price. Although I didn't order this time, they also have coffee and desserts. The interior is spacious with a few tables and seats, allowing for a calm and relaxing dining experience. It's a nice place that I'd like to visit occasionally.

You can enjoy a superb 5-course meal here♪ You will be satisfied with delicious appetizers like abalone, ham, and assorted vegetables. The fish was crispy on the outside and tender inside, the meat was great, and the dessert was also satisfying. I was completely full and happy with the meal (*´ω｀*)

One-man operation, a calm and stylish space, delicious bistro with an omakase course for dinner, and a lunch set for 1100 yen, making it perfect for a cost-effective date spot. Located a short walk from Namba, Sumire offers a variety of dishes including smoked salmon and avocado salad, deep-fried sea bream with matsutake mushrooms, beer-braised beef cheeks, and grilled ribeye steak. The desserts, including nut ice cream, hojicha ice cream, cheesecake, and poached pear, were all delightful. The owner, who runs the restaurant alone, has a great personality. Although the access may not be the most convenient, it is definitely worth a visit.

"Bistro Sumire" It's been a while since I've been here, taiki. I'm not a stylish man who usually eats French food, but I can handle lunch, so this time I walked about 8 minutes south from Namba to the restaurant "Bistro Sumire." I had a feeling it would be a hit when I passed by this time, and my sensor was right on point. Even before the food arrived, I was already satisfied. The restaurant is spacious without too many seats, with a stylish atmosphere. Inside, there are miniature pig figurines and pig art covering the walls, creating a chic space. I ordered the roast chicken (lol). I love pork, but the customer next to me was enjoying the roast chicken so much that I couldn't resist. The salad was something I hadn't eaten much of before, with a bitter taste. Is this what French food is like? The soup was daikon soup, leaving a luxurious aftertaste. The main dish was the roast chicken. It was a large portion for French food, maybe to make sure we eat well. The taste was a 5 out of 10, but I will probably come back. The atmosphere is so nice. They aren't trying to pack the place with customers, but rather they carefully prepare each dish. As I mentioned earlier, the table spacing is very wide and comfortable. The BGM was just the right volume. It felt like, "Ah, a holiday♪" That kind of feeling (*'∀') Overall, I think this restaurant is worth a visit. Different people prioritize different things, whether it's the aesthetics for Instagram, the taste, a pleasant dining experience, finding a date spot, or enjoying a meal alone. Considering all these factors, I believe this restaurant is worth a visit. If you're curious, be sure to check it out! I found a good French restaurant in the neighborhood. See you again later! Cost: 1100 yen.=========================Restaurant Name: "Bistro Sumire"Access: 3 minutes walk from Imamiya Ebisu StationRegular Holiday: Wednesday=========================#Osaka #OsakaLunch #OsakaGourmet #NambaLunch #NambaGourmet #ImamiyaEbisu #ImamiyaEbisuGourmet #BistroSumire #RoastChicken #French #Chicken #Osaka #JapaneseFood #NambaDate #NambaCity #NambaCityLunch #Instagrammable #CozySpace

Weekend food exploration The theme of the day was to walk without deciding on a specific restaurant, and to take a new path that I had never walked before. During that time, if I spotted a restaurant that caught my eye, I would enter it. I was feeling bored and in need of some excitement. I found a bistro on the ground floor of an apartment building in a residential area. I still don't quite understand what a bistro is, but I assumed it must be a stylish and good place. I was a little excited to try something that I wouldn't normally choose. For lunch that day, there were two options: roast chicken or roast pork loin, both served with salad, soup, and bread for 1,100 yen (tax included). The atmosphere inside the restaurant was moody with dim lighting, and the spacious aisles gave it a cozy, hidden gem vibe. I decided to go with the roast pork loin, which seemed like a unique choice. However, the restaurant was filled with pig figurines all over the place, giving off a strong pork vibe. The pre-meal salad consisted mostly of lettuce with occasional bits of carrot. Next came the bread and soup. I couldn't quite make out the explanation of the soup at first, but upon tasting it, I thought it must be a vegetable soup. When I asked again, I found out it was burdock soup. The main dish, roast pork loin, was thick and juicy, although the meat was a bit tough as expected when cooked thoroughly. The bread was served one piece at a time, with an option for a one-time refill. Overall, the meal was satisfying, although I felt like it lacked a bit in terms of portion size. I thought it would have been nice if coffee was included. It was delicious, thank you for the meal.

The restaurant had a strong smell inside, probably from seasonings used during preparation. The salad had lettuce, a little cabbage underneath, and a slice of cucumber pickle, which was tasty. The main dish, chicken, was too thick and had some parts undercooked, so I left those. The sauce was rich and paired well with the chicken. Overall, I would rate it 3.3 out of 5.

A hidden gem of a restaurant quietly standing in the street. The exterior has a calm atmosphere based on blue, making it easy to enter. The calm atmosphere continues inside. It feels relaxing. We had the 5000 yen course meal. If you can taste this quality at this price, there's nothing to complain about. The wine selection is also extensive and very satisfying. We told the staff our wine preferences and they chose for us, which was spot on and increased our satisfaction. The staff are friendly and it's a great restaurant.

I started walking from Imamiya Ebisu Shrine towards Honmachi and discovered a nice restaurant, Bistro Sumire. I had never noticed this place before. I decided to give it a try! The lunch set was only 1,100 yen, and I chose the roast chicken over macaroni gratin. It came with a salad, soup, and the main dish. The dressing on the green salad was great, and the soup was delicious too. The main dish was generous in portion and really good. This place is great. I want to come back for dinner sometime.

Hidden gem restaurants are places that you don't want too many people to know about... a quiet place where you can relax and enjoy delicious food, creating the best moments in life. However, on the other hand, there is a desire to share with someone and say, "There's such a great restaurant!" So, I highly recommend Bistro Sumire from now on, but I hope that we can each go at different times and enjoy a leisurely meal. I used the dinner for my wife's birthday celebration. When I entered the restaurant, there was a chef who looked like Saito Takumi (sorry for setting the bar high) managing everything alone. His gentle and friendly customer service left a great impression. There are two courses available for dinner: a 3500 yen course where you can choose a starter and main, and a 5000 yen chef's choice course. At first, I was thinking of choosing the 3500 yen course (to save money), but both the starters and mains had 7 or 8 options to choose from each. Honestly, I couldn't decide because they all looked delicious! Alright, Chef, surprise me!! So, I went with the chef's choice. He first asked about our food preferences and how much we wanted to eat. No preferences, hearty portions! And here are the dishes he served us: - Corn mousse with baguette - Chilled potato soup (forgot to take a photo) - Salmon pie baked in pastry with caramelized onion quiche - Pan-seared mackerel and sea bream - Grilled Miyazaki beef with foie gras - Watermelon and nougat glacé with peach compote and yogurt ice cream - All-you-can-eat bread (the chef kept bringing it to us every time we finished, so probably) Every dish was absolutely delicious. My wife was impressed by the salmon pie baked in pastry. The sweet salmon and tangy sauce combination was outstanding. I was impressed by the caramelized onion quiche. It had a color that could be mistaken for chocolate, almost burnt-looking, but without any bitterness, just a refined taste of pure onion sweetness. And the main course of Miyazaki beef and foie gras was my favorite. The tender meat that melts in your mouth and the wild accent of foie gras combined in the mouth, spreading a blissful flavor. The cooking level, not tough at all despite the thickness of the meat, was a perfect balance with nothing left in the mouth that couldn't be chewed. After enjoying the dessert, we were already stuffed. We really could eat heartily. All this for 5000 yen per person. Enjoying a full and delicious French cuisine course for 5000 yen. It's unbelievable, too good of a deal... I was so impressed that I almost forgot whether the price was tax-exclusive or inclusive. I myself have only eaten expensive French cuisine (probably costing tens of thousands of yen) at a relative's wedding, but if I can be this satisfied for 5000 yen, maybe I don't need to eat anything else... I even think that way. A cozy atmosphere for special occasions as well as for girls' night out or a little luxury with family, without being too pretentious. The handsome chef who kindly asks for refills of water and bread, and considers the air conditioning temperature. And the definite taste of the dishes. This is how a town's French restaurant should be, a wonderful place that you can't help but think about. Thank you for the meal!

The restaurant was recommended on a TV show called "Yo-ido". The chef manages everything alone, so the place was crowded on the day of the TV broadcast. I always passed by the restaurant, but I found the lunch prices a bit high so I hadn't gone before. Finally, I was able to go after seeing it on TV. The atmosphere inside the restaurant is relaxed and comfortable. The food is delicious and carefully prepared. The pea soup was especially tasty. Even my friend who doesn't like peas enjoyed it! The Angus beef that I wanted to try was sold out, but other dishes were also delicious. I would like to challenge it again next time!

I had a lunch with chicken as the main dish. The cold soup was delicious, and the sautéed chicken thigh had a generous portion. The chef seemed to be cooking and serving alone, so it felt a bit rushed during the busy lunch hour. It would have been helpful if they had let me know when they were finished serving by placing the bill on the table. I recommend going when you have some extra time.

I used it for a birthday party. I ordered caviar and foie gras, and they were all very delicious. Thank you for taking care of us.

I had steak for lunch. I thought it was a good job for a reasonable price. I was pleased, so I decided to order dessert, which was simple but delicious. The atmosphere in the restaurant had a bit of a Showa era feel, and above all, it was clean and comfortable. I will definitely make this place a regular lunch spot!

Next to the famous Imamiya Ebisu Shrine, there is a restaurant located in a quiet area with a striking blue exterior. I visited during lunchtime. The restaurant has 4 counter seats and 2 tables, with a high design quality in a neoclassical style. The soft-spoken owner manages the place alone. The lunch options for the day were either Black Angus beef steak or roast pork loin. I ordered the Black Angus beef steak. First, a green salad and bread were served. The bread was refillable. The cutlery was nice. Next was the soup, a cold vichyssoise which was finely textured and delicious. The main steak dish had a good portion size. It was served with roasted potatoes and zucchini on the side. Considering the price of 1100 yen, I think it was excellent value. Although I knew it was a luxury, I felt that some color variety would have enhanced the presentation. Overall, it was a delicious meal.

Ichiro. Noriaki Kasai. Kazuyoshi Miura. It is no longer uncommon for athletes to continue to excel in their field even after crossing the age of 40. That is why I was surprised by the announcement of retirement by Ai Miyazato, who is only 31 years old. The true reason behind her decision is still unclear, but only she knows her own limits. Being able to decide when to retire is a blessing. Now, today I had lunch at a bistro called "SUMIRE" located near Hirota Shrine in Naniwa Ward, Osaka. I had noticed this place recently, but it turns out it had been open for about a year already. I felt like I was late to the party and decided to check it out with my wife. For lunch, I had the "Roast Chicken" (1,100 yen) which came with a green salad, soup, and bread. The main dish was quite generous and flavorful, with crispy skin and juicy meat. The dressing for the salad and the chilled corn soup were also excellent. The service provided by the handsome and polite gentleman running the place was top-notch. Despite the location, this restaurant proved to be quite a hidden gem. It was a satisfying experience with no regrets.

I discovered a bistro near my house the other day! How exciting! I had to check it out for lunch today. The bistro is called Sumire, and it just opened last month. The chef manages everything by himself, and the atmosphere inside is relaxed and cozy. With the chef's permission, I took a peek inside. For today's lunch, I had a cold sweet potato soup and roasted chicken thigh with tender braised cabbage on the side. You can have unlimited bread refills for 1100 yen. The soup was elegantly flavored, and the chicken skin was crispy and juicy. It paired well with a Chardonnay from the south of France or a similar region. The place isn't well-known yet, so it was almost empty on a Saturday afternoon. I heard that they offer set courses for 2800 yen and 3500 yen at night, and it seems to be popular with solo male diners. I definitely need to come back for dinner too!

Located a 3-minute walk from Imamiya Ebisu Station on the Nankai Koya Line, this French restaurant is amazing for both lunch and dinner! You have to see it for yourself, so just go and try it out! (*・ω・人) =
