I suddenly decided to have dinner with a friend after a long time, but we didn't make any reservations, so we had to battle the waiting times in Umeda. Everywhere we went seemed to have a wait, but luckily we found a pasta restaurant called Sakatouniru with no wait time and at a reasonable price (for Umeda standards). They mainly serve Japanese-style pasta using ingredients like yuba and Kyoto vegetables, giving it a Kyoto-like feel. The dessert set for only 200 yen is such a good deal! I ordered a drink, salad, soup, a pasta with extra noodles, and added a dessert, but unfortunately, the cake was sold out so I had to settle for a zen-zai style milk pudding and ice cream. The pasta I chose had a common taste, so next time I'll try one that has more of a Kyoto vibe. Overall, it was a satisfying meal.

Located on the 8th floor of Yodobashi in Umeda. They offer a variety of Japanese-style pasta dishes made with Kyoto vegetables. The thin pasta is very Kyoto-like, and it's delicious with the sauce. They have a wide range of menu options. They also incorporate matcha into their desserts and drinks. I will definitely try them next time!

Lunch visit. The restaurant seems popular, as there were three groups waiting ahead of me, and I waited for about 15 minutes. I was given the menu first, so I looked at it while waiting. I ordered the half set lunch (with soup) - Yuba and mozzarella carbonara, and Kyoto leek and chicken Genovese as a pair. The noodles were thin and firm. The flavors were surprisingly strong. The portion was just right. It was a chopstick-eating style, which I personally liked. Thank you for the meal!

"Sen to iru" Umeda / Lunch Links Umeda 8F, where you can enjoy Japanese-style pasta using Kyoto vegetables. It is popular among women and even solo diners can feel comfortable. They also offer Kyoto-style desserts. I visited around 1 pm on a weekday. The restaurant has a Japanese atmosphere with background music, making it a place where you can easily relax. I ordered the mentaiko, yuba, and Tanba shimeji mushrooms with green shiso flavor for ¥1050. The pasta itself was ordinary, but the gentle taste of the Japanese ingredients was soothing. Located a 2-minute walk from Umeda subway station in Osaka, 1-1 Ofukacho, Kita-ku, Osaka, Yodobashi Umeda 8F, open from 11:00 to 23:00.

I went at night. There were many female customers, and it was a very calming atmosphere. It feels mature! I had the Seigoin turnip with Tanba shimeji mushrooms, shrimp, and nameko mushrooms with grated turnip for 1200 yen, and the Blue shiso-flavored miso soup with mentaiko, yuba, and Tanba shimeji for 1050 yen. The soup was also included! It was very delicious. It felt very natural because Kyoto vegetables were used. I would like to go back and relax again.

I had been interested in this restaurant for a while, so I finally went there. I ordered the half & half pasta, which consisted of a Japanese-style soup with carbonara and Japanese-style peperoncino pasta. Since I am pregnant, I couldn't eat the carbonara with egg, so I had it served separately for my friend to enjoy. The Japanese-style soup that came first was quite light, almost like a drink. The carbonara pasta was creamy, similar to a regular cream pasta. Both types of pasta had thin noodles, giving the impression of slurping soba noodles. They were easy to eat, but lacked a satisfying texture for men. The price was around 1500 yen, which seemed reasonable for Umeda, but overall, I didn't feel it was exceptional.

I like the Junovese here and come here often. It's part of the Gyuemon chain, and I also like Gyuemon's Junovese, but I slightly prefer Sentouru's. On days when I'm in a different mood, I go to Tarako Butter. The Tarako Butter is also delicious. I can usually get in without waiting on weekdays. There aren't many staff members, so sometimes you may have to wait a bit, but they will come around eventually, so it's worth waiting patiently. It might not be suitable for impatient people though. The trendy barcode payment system sometimes doesn't work because the older lady staff members can't scan it properly, but paying with credit card is always reliable, so it's better to use cash or credit card. Thank you for the meal~

I went to "Sakutateiri Umeda Store" at Yodobashi Camera in Umeda. The Half & Half A (White Wine) for 1400 yen was not very delicious. The half with Kamo eggplant, avocado, and mozzarella cheese in tomato sauce was not good. The one with shrimp, red snow crab, and yuba in Kyoto-style cream sauce was okay. Normally, alcohol is not included in the drink, but having white wine included was nice. However, overall, it was not worth the price.

After shopping at Yodobashi Camera, I visited a restaurant for lunch. There are many Japanese-style pasta restaurants where you can eat with chopsticks. I always end up ordering tomato sauce dishes because I'm not very adventurous. I was curious about the seasonal limited menu, so I ordered the meat sauce with fresh yuba and mozzarella cheese, topped with a hot spring egg. The set came with soup, salad, and a drink. This time, I skipped dessert. The taste did not disappoint, as it was the familiar deliciousness I had expected. It was not too heavy, with a light and smooth flavor. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

When I arrived at Yodobashi Umeda to buy a vacuum cleaner, we decided to first grab something to eat at this place called Kyoto Vegetable Spaghetti. It is located on the 8th floor of Yodobashi Umeda. The menu has a variety of options, so it's recommended to decide what to eat by looking at the showcase before entering. The lunch menu mainly consists of pasta with different types such as mentaiko, olive oil, dashi-based, tomato-based, cream-based, soy sauce butter-based, meat sauce-based, and more. In addition to individual dishes, there are also two set options available: Kamogawa Set and Sakaimachi Set. We ordered two Kamogawa Sets with olive oil-based Sakaimachi lively aglio e olio with plenty of aromatic vegetables, and a drink (iced coffee). The set included a Japanese-style salad with salted kelp flavor, a Japanese-style soup with seaweed and bonito flakes, and the Sakaimachi lively aglio e olio which had ingredients like sausage, bacon, duck, shrimp, eggplant, Kujyo green onion, mizuna, kaiware daikon, Manjuya togarashi, myoga, and more. The pasta was flavorful and delicious with a gentle taste typical of Kyoto. My wife had the Kyoto-style pasta with Kujyo green onion, shrimp, and mentaiko butter from the mentaiko category, and a hot coffee. The portions were generous and we enjoyed our meal. It's a fusion of Japanese and Italian cuisine using Kyoto vegetables. You can also opt for a larger portion for an additional fee. I look forward to trying the Kyoto-style dessert next time. Thank you for the meal.

The unique feature of this pasta restaurant is the "Half & Half" menu, where you can choose two different types of pasta in one set. Another interesting aspect is that you can eat the pasta using chopsticks. I ordered the winter Half & Half, which included Kyoto-style pasta with leeks, shrimp, and cod roe butter, as well as a set with duck and yuba (tofu skin) pasta in a leek cream soup with burdock. The two different types of pasta were enjoyable as they were from different genres, and the leeks had a delicious flavor without bitterness. The set menu also comes with a drink, with about 9 options to choose from. There are many matcha-based drinks, which are typical of Kyoto. I chose the matcha latte, which had just the right amount of sweetness and was highly recommended.

There is a pasta restaurant called Links Umeda on the 8th floor of Yodobashi Camera, which has attracted many visitors. The restaurant is an existing one with plenty of seats available, especially for early dinner. I had the Tamba Jidori chicken and yuba with three types of cream cheese in white sauce, along with the Kamogawa set. The set includes a Japanese-style soup, salad, and a drink. The spaghetti was delicious, but I found the prices to be a bit high. It may be due to the location in Umeda and the tenant fees. Most of the customers were couples or women, so a solo male diner may feel a bit out of place. Overall, it was a good meal.

I arrived after the lunch rush around 2 pm. I was seated promptly, but noticed that there were a lot of dirty dishes on other tables and it was clear that they were understaffed. The food was average, so it should be fine if they have fewer customers. I won't be going back.

I visited the Sotoinaru Umeda store at Yodobashi Camera in Umeda. I ordered the sea urchin, salmon roe, and shrimp with white soy sauce pasta. The pasta was thin and cooked perfectly, with a great texture. The sea urchin appeared in small pieces throughout the dish. I'm not a big fan of sushi, so I rarely have the opportunity to enjoy sea urchin and salmon roe, but the sauce was not too strong, allowing me to taste the flavors of the sea urchin and salmon roe. I didn't feel the luxury of the price (1,200 yen), but I was impressed by the delicious taste of the dish.

I visited the restaurant in February 2019 for lunch. Once again, I found myself in a lunch dilemma and ended up at the restaurant area of Yodobashi Camera Umeda. There are many restaurants here compared to Yodobashi Camera Kyoto. Among them, I chose Sotoin. I ordered the limited-time Seigoin Kabuto Yuba Cream Pasta for 1200 yen excluding tax, along with the Sotomachi set for 430 yen excluding tax. I chose matcha au lait for my drink and warabi mochi for dessert. The atmosphere of the restaurant was calm and Kyoto-like. The pasta with Seigoin Kabuto Yuba cream was delicious and blended well with the pasta. I found it tastier than Konanya. I was satisfied with both the dessert and drink. I recommend it.

I had never eaten at Yodobashi Umeda before, so I decided to give it a try. The table was set with plates and chopsticks, and the restaurant was very clean. The staff were also very friendly! I ordered the tofu skin, shredded kelp, and mozzarella cheese soy milk carbonara, which has a long name. It was the cheapest item on the menu, but it was incredibly delicious! I was so impressed! I was hungry, so I was completely absorbed in eating it (laughs). I don't have many opportunities to eat tofu skin, but I highly recommend this dish! It has a great balance of Japanese and Western flavors, comes with miso soup, and is a great value for the price. I'm glad I came here! I want to come back with my family or friends next time!

In November 2018, after work, I stopped by "Sakurairu" on the restaurant floor of Yodobashi Umeda. I arrived around 6 pm and was seated at a table. I ordered the Autumn Half & Half Set for 1500 yen (excluding tax). The set included: - Clear soup - Tanba local chicken and mushroom porcini cream pasta - Kyoto-grown Daikoku hon shimeji and shrimp nametake with grated radish - Drink (I chose a glass of white wine) After a short wait, two types of pasta arrived. I tried the Tanba local chicken and mushroom porcini cream pasta first. The cream was rich and paired well with the chicken and mushrooms. It was just the right amount for a half portion, as I felt it might be too heavy if it was a full portion. Next, I tried the Kyoto-grown Daikoku hon shimeji and shrimp nametake with grated radish pasta. It had grated radish which made it refreshing. Alternating between the cream pasta and this one was a good balance. After finishing both, I was pleasantly surprised by how full I was. The noodles were cooked perfectly, and both pasta dishes were delicious. The service was also very polite. Thank you for the meal!

Before returning to Okayama, I decided to have lunch and went to Santouiru Umeda branch (*'▽'). It is located in the restaurant district of Yodobashi Umeda. It was crowded at lunchtime, but I waited a bit and was able to get in. This time, I ordered a half & half. One dish was topped with a warm egg in tomato sauce. The rich sauce goes well with the warm egg. The other dish was mushrooms and shiso with mentaiko sauce. Both dishes, the pasta was not quite right (;^ω^) I'm not sure if it was cooked properly or not. The sauce also feels like it's lacking a bit. The atmosphere is not bad, so I hope they work on improving the taste. Thank you for the meal.

I just visited the legendary Stadonburi Yodobashi Umeda store and now I am at the Sakitoiri Umeda store, located on the same floor at Yodobashi Umeda. This restaurant has a high-class image and offers dishes like the Ume and Mozzarella Cheese Meat Sauce with Onsen Egg, which I ordered. The menu is a bit pricey, with the cheapest dish at 950 yen, but the quality is worth it. The dish I ordered was delicious, with a unique combination of flavors and textures. Overall, it was a satisfying dining experience.

It was quite delicious. The matcha latte was not too sweet and was good.
