SUSU
Osaka is located near the Tamachirokucho Station, slightly south of the Karahori Shopping Street, at the Bistro & Wine Bar "Lupage." Visit on H26.7.30 This day, we couldn't enter the desired shop due to a private reservation, so we visited this place instead. We were the only customers at an early hour, so we were able to choose our favorite seats. ["Slightly Tipsy Set"] This is a set that we always order when we visit. It includes appetizers and a drink, so it feels like a good deal. The appetizers included a salad of daikon and pine nuts, foie gras with onions, and escabeche of fish. All of them were well-seasoned, but personally, I preferred the previous visits' appetizers. ["Saury with Lemon Sauce"] Saury, a small mackerel. It seems to be topped with lemon sauce, but it's not too sour. The saury was tender. If the skin was a bit crispier, it would have been better. The buttery flavor of the mushrooms served on the side was good and added a nice touch. ["Macaroni Shrimp Gratin"] The white sauce was ordinary. The macaroni was generously filled. The accent of mushrooms was nice. It was a hot day, so the owner was working in just a shirt. The interior may be a bit too casual. The kitchen is especially hot, so I can understand the feeling, but... Next, we will move on. Thank you for the meal. Visit on H26.3.14 at night. This day, a friend wanted to drink Bruno Paillard, so we came to this place. We ordered Bruno Paillard and some wonderful appetizers. ["Assorted Appetizers"] Olive canapé, sea bream and mashed potato canapé, cheese puff, Tasmanian salmon terrine, sour cream, and cherry tomatoes. They were all well-seasoned and went well with the wine. This dish for 980 yen is highly recommended. ["Grilled Sea Bream Scales"] The visual presentation was impressive. The crispy sea bream scales were irresistible. The skin was crispy and delicious. The slightly sweet sauce was unnecessary. It was delicious as it is. My friend highly praised this dish. ["Foie Gras and Beef Fillet Steak Rossini Style"] The tender and light fillet steak with a flavorful foie gras was delightful. When cut with a fork, the juicy and flavorful fat from the foie gras was mouthwatering. The combination of fillet steak, foie gras, and sweet and savory sauce was delightful. I wanted to drink red wine, so I ordered a glass of wine, but it was a mistake. I should have ordered a bottle. Thank you for the meal. Visit on H26.2.28 This day, after visiting Tsurugyu and Kinouya, we came to this place. We had lunch here before and were looking forward to dinner. It was near Kinouya, so we decided to visit. When we entered, we saw that they were having a welcome party or something similar, as it was almost full. When we asked if it was okay to sit even though we had already eaten, they kindly allowed us to sit at a table that was available. ["Slightly Tipsy Set 1,000 yen"] You can choose from various drinks, so I chose sparkling wine. After a while, the reliable dishes arrived! The chef personally brought them and explained each dish. Olive canapé, salmon marinated in sour cream (wrapped in scallops), sea bream and mashed potato canapé. They were all prepared to go well with wine and were incredibly delicious. It's almost too cheap at 1,000 yen... My friend asked the staff if he could see the wine list and menu, even though he couldn't drink anymore, and they kindly brought them over with a smile. After that, the chef seemed to have calmed down, and he came over to teach us more. There are many menu items that caught our interest, so we will visit again. This time ===========
