I met up with someone I hadn't seen in a while and went out to eat. We had to eat and talk, and with only an hour for lunch, we took up every last minute! They ordered the B course for us. It included soup, assorted appetizers, pasta, risotto, a main dish, dessert, and coffee. The homemade focaccia was delicious. I was so full and satisfied after the meal!

On a Saturday of a long weekend, my wife and I were looking for a place to have lunch. A person I followed on Instagram recommended a bakery in Minamimorimachi. While searching on Google, I found a highly-rated Italian restaurant called Iian nearby. The lunch course was reasonably priced and had great reviews, so I made a reservation and visited. We arrived at the restaurant at 2 pm, and it was small but very stylish. There were already two groups of customers there. We were seated at the counter, where we could watch the chef prepare the dishes. The chef was a young and handsome man. The service staff, also young men, were very polite and kind. We started with a delicious Kabura turnip potage soup with scallops. Then we had a layered dish of Ine yellowtail and vegetables with ground cherry, which was sweet and tasty. The homemade focaccia served with it was hot and delicious. Next, we had pasta with snow crab, which was flavorful. The fourth course was a risotto with intestines of Iwai pork and zucchini, which had a perfect balance of flavors. The main course was roasted duck with truffles, which was delightful. For dessert, we had panna cotta, apple pie, chocolate, and sorbet, all of which were delicious. We enjoyed coffee with it. Every dish was incredibly tasty. Considering all we had, the price of 2800 yen was very cost-effective. We left extremely satisfied and would love to visit for dinner as well. Thank you for the wonderful meal. #MinamimorimachiGourmet #MinamimorimachiLunch #OsakaGourmet #OsakaLunch #Italian #ItalianCuisine #Iian #IianMinamimorimachi

I went to a Japanese-Italian restaurant in Minamisenmachi! This time, I chose the course meal and drinks separately, and I had sparkling wine and beer! The deer meat in the course meal was delicious~ The atmosphere of the restaurant was also nice, and I would like to come back again!

I attended a birthday party at this restaurant. The first dish with edible flowers was beautiful and fitting for a birthday celebration. The meat dishes were generously topped with truffles. The pasta and risotto were filling! The main birthday cake was specially prepared, making it a wonderful party. There were various wines available at reasonable prices, which led me to drink a bit too much. Thank you for the delicious meal.

I visited "Iian," a Japanese-style Italian restaurant located a 5-minute walk from Nambancho Station and Osaka Tenmangu Shrine. This time, I ordered the special course lunch, which included: - Cold soup - Vegetable salad - Small dish (eel and salmon roe, with watermelon sauce) - Homemade focaccia - Pasta (squid ink and seafood pasta) - Risotto (minced meat and tomato cream sauce) - Main dish (pork sautéed with balsamic vinegar) - Dessert plate - Coffee or tea Each dish was explained in detail by the staff. Unfortunately, I didn't take detailed notes, so the information is limited. I wish I had taken more notes. For this occasion, I was celebrating, and they were able to write a message on the dessert plate upon request. The restaurant offers elaborate dishes at a reasonable price, so I highly recommend giving it a try. You will definitely leave feeling very full.

I heard that someone came from Kitashinchi to the Minamimorimachi Tenjinbashi area, so I decided to come here for lunch on Saturday. I didn't make a reservation, but luckily I was able to get a table. I came to try the special selection of world's top 3 delicacies, seasonal ingredients, and dessert platter. The special selection included delicacies such as foie gras, truffle, caviar, Kawachi duck, firefly squid, fresh fish, fruit tomatoes, and more. The pasta with firefly squid was delicious and seasonal, and the truffle risotto from the world's top 3 delicacies was also very good. The foie gras and Kawachi duck hamburger had a stylish presentation.

From noon, I treated myself a bit~. I accidentally went to the wrong restaurant near Temmabashi, but I had a reservation at this one, so I went to the correct one. The location is a bit northwest of the Higashi-Temma area. During lunchtime, they offer a 1000 yen lunch and a slightly more luxurious lunch. On this day, I chose the luxurious lunch which included: - Cabbage potage - Salad - Assorted appetizers - White wine sauce with shirasu (whitebait) and asari (clams) - Tomato sauce with minced pork and snow peas - Roasted duck - Assorted desserts - Coffee I was in a bit of a hurry, so they served me accordingly, with excellent service. From pasta to risotto, and different flavors of roasted duck, I thoroughly enjoyed the meal. The appetizers were also a mix of various delicious items. The dessert included four different kinds.

I used to visit on weekends, but this time I went on a weekday. It seems like you need to make a reservation to get in on the first go-around. The appetizer, salad, soup, pasta or risotto for 1000 yen is quite a bargain. And the quality is high. I would like to visit again.

On February 3rd, just after noon, I visited the popular restaurant ❤️ Iian for the second time. By the time I finished eating, all 13 seats were full! I saw on the recent TV show "Yo-i Don" hosted by En Hiroshi that they feature a weekday-only business lunch (tax included 1,000 yen). I didn't hesitate and ordered the business lunch which includes soup, bread, salad, assorted appetizers, pasta or risotto. The soup was a delicious radish potage, the appetizers were luxurious with dishes like yellowtail carpaccio, tomato & mozzarella, ham & cut pineapple, and pate. The bread was also great, and I could add more if I wanted. The orange and fresh vegetable salad was also delicious. The main dish was pasta with clams and white wine sauce, which was incredibly tasty. From start to finish, everything was very good! Thank you for the meal!

Around 12:30, I visited without a reservation. There are 7 counter seats and 2 tables. I was able to get in as a walk-in, but it's better to make a reservation on days other than weekdays. It seems that courses are the norm on weekends and holidays. Additional à la carte options are also available. The course includes 6 dishes, focaccia, dessert, and a drink. Most people were enjoying alcohol, with glasses priced around 1000 yen. The menu for the day included taro bisque, gold kiwi salad, seafood and soft crab shell with Genovese sauce, corn and dried baby sardines pasta, tomato sauce risotto, and duck hamburger. Dessert consisted of a platter of 6 varieties. Most guests were women, enjoying conversation leisurely along with the food. The portion sizes are modest, allowing you to enjoy until the end. The restaurant is a bit of a walk from the station, but it's a recommended place to spend a luxurious time.

It's been a while since I visited Ian for lunch. I chose pasta for 1000 yen, it was seafood tomato sauce. The daikon soup was new to me. The blowfish fritters were delicious. It's a great deal for lunch. I have visited many times. #Ian #Italian #lunch #pasta #foodstagram #noodlestagram #Minamimorimachi #OsakaTemmangu #Osaka

I visited near Minamimori-machi after a long time, so I peeked in to see if they were serving lunch. It was just past 1 o'clock and there were only 2 seats available ✨✨ The appetizer, pasta, soup, homemade focaccia, and dessert were all delicious, and the cost performance is so good that I really worry if it's okay. It's a rare restaurant that provides dinner hospitality during lunch. They also serve a few different types of desserts. I always leave feeling happy and full. The only downside is that it's far from my office... If it were closer, I would definitely visit this restaurant every week! For those who are okay with drinking during lunch, please try having wine with your meal. The sommelier should be able to make a great choice for you ✨

I recently enjoyed the special course at my favorite Italian restaurant "I-AN" in June, featuring dishes made with bonito, ikura, Wakayama abalone, and sweetfish. The course included: - Appetizer: Hokkaido snow crab and scallop tartare with ikura - Soup: Chilled watermelon and melon soup with sweetfish confit and vegetable condiments - Pasta: Taliolini with Wakayama conger eel, abalone, and shishito pepper - Main: Veal cutlet with corn rice croquette in porcini sauce - Finale Pasta: Beetroot spaghetti with Bolognese sauce and truffle - Dessert: Today's dessert or cheese assortment - Homemade focaccia, coffee or tea I look forward to this monthly treat. The pasta in this course was exquisite, with both options being delicious. The porcini sauce for the main course was also amazing. I was very satisfied with this course and can't wait for next month's offering!

I went to the nearby "Italian Iioan" for dinner, as I had previously enjoyed their lunch. The special course for May was called "Take a breath with caviar and truffle!" The course included: Appetizer - Marinated tuna from Wakayama with caviar, served with Ravignotte sauce. Soup - Cold soup made from Kumamoto potatoes, topped with fried white shrimp and truffle. Pasta - Ink squid and zucchini with fresh tomato linguine. Main - Minced duck hamburger with cheddar cheese and Chaliktyer sauce. Risotto - Black rice risotto with red wine stewed Anago from Hyogo prefecture, topped with salmon roe. Dessert - Assorted 6 types of desserts. Everything was delicious, especially the pasta and soup which were exceptional. The flavors were spot on and just to my liking. The course is a great value for the price, so I recommend ordering it. It was a delightful dinner time. The course for next month looks very enticing, so I will definitely be going back!

I visited a delicious restaurant with my friends in search of a good time. We went to a place called "I-an" in Minamimorimachi for the first time, which made me a bit nervous as usual. We had reserved a course meal and enjoyed it so much that we finished it in no time. The chef at the counter was worried about our fast eating and asked if we had enough to eat. Everything was delicious and we were very satisfied. Of course, the portion size was just right! Thank you for the wonderful meal. ♡

I used to go to this restaurant for lunch on weekdays. I always wanted to try their course menu someday, and finally, it happened ^_^ I had the "May limited edition Caviar and Truffle to take a breath" course. The combination of caviar, tuna, and strawberries in the appetizer captivated my heart, and the rich aroma of truffle in the soup knocked me out. It was truly delicious! Rather than saying it was delicious, it was more like a feeling of nostalgia from tasting both ingredients after a long time, "Ah, this is it!" From the beginning, I was impressed, and of course, the pasta and the main dish of Kamon duck hamburger were exquisite. The wine also went well with the meal. I forgot to take a picture, but the bread was also delicious!! It was made with homemade natural yeast, using yeast extracted from dried fruits, and it takes a considerable amount of time for fermentation. It's so elaborate. No wonder it's delicious. We had multiple servings of it (ﾉ∀＼*) For dessert, you could choose between dolce or cheese, and we asked for both to share between the two of us. We had a very luxurious time. I love the restaurant and the atmosphere of the staff ✨ Thank you for the wonderful meal!

Good evening! Today, I visited an Italian restaurant with model N-chan after a long time. We went to try the limited course menu prepared by the cute Chef Kido, who is graduating. Normally, we go to the restaurant in Kitashinchi, but the Chef Kido limited course is only available at the Minamimorimachi branch, so we came here. I was happy to visit the Minamimorimachi branch as well. As expected, I was indecisive, but N-chan came to pick me up. She always has a great sense of style. We started with a toast with a glass of beer. The presentation of the dishes at this restaurant is always beautiful. The Chef Kido appeared, and he was very cute. He will be teaching at a famous cooking school, which was surprising. His youthful appearance reminded me of an actor. The dishes were all delicious, especially the truffle pasta. The meat dish was also very tasty. The risotto with abalone and sea lettuce was a pleasant surprise. We finished the meal with a delightful dessert and coffee. I want to thank the owner, Chef Yui, Chef Kido, and the staff at the Minamimorimachi branch for their hospitality. The cost for the meal was around 10,000 yen per person, including drinks and wine. Overall, it was a great dining experience, and I look forward to Chef Kido's future endeavors.

Visited ❤️ Iian for the first time with my wife at around 12:30 pm on March 21st. The restaurant was already almost full with 10 out of 13 seats taken. We had the special course lunch (3,080 yen each) which included a special appetizer of Fujiyama salmon confit (so delicious!), a creamy new onion soup (delicious!), Wokaccha bread (good!), a salad with powdered cheese as a palate cleanser (good!), seafood tomato sauce pasta (so delicious!), homemade sausage risotto (so delicious!), French duck roast as the main dish (truly amazing!), and a dessert platter with hot coffee to finish. From start to finish, everything was very good! Thank you for the wonderful meal!

It was my first visit, so I ordered the March course menu. - Appetizer: Salmon and ikura collaboration. It was decent. - Soup: Awaji sweet onion potage with oysters. Sweet and delicious soup. - Fucile: Simmered daikon with porcini sauce. It's rare to see fucile daikon in Italian cuisine, had a Japanese touch. - Main dish: Inunaki pork salsiccia tagliolini. A taste sensation I've never experienced before. - Naniwa black beef roast with new onion, foam soy sauce, and pea sauce. A main dish with a nice mix of Japanese and Western sauces for flavor variation. - Abalone and chrysanthemum seaweed risotto. A Japanese-style risotto, which is uncommon in Italian cuisine. Overall, the service was excellent. I enjoyed my meal comfortably. It's nice to feel like a regular customer on your first visit. I believe this restaurant will continue to improve its level of cuisine.

My friend made a reservation for my birthday, and we enjoyed the monthly course menu for January. The dishes were made with fresh seasonal ingredients. The appetizer was smoked bonito and Kaga lotus root marinated with kumquats and sour cream sauce. The homemade focaccia and mushroom potage with sautéed Hokkaido shirako and Italian truffle were delicious. The pasta with cherry shrimp and beets in Genovese sauce was vibrant and flavorful. The main course of Spanish Iberico pork was tender and juicy, served with apple mustard and Café de Paris butter sauce. The dessert was a surprise birthday plate with a personalized cookie. The use of seasonal ingredients and unique sauces made the dining experience enjoyable. The atmosphere, service, and food at the restaurant were all fantastic. I had a wonderful time and would love to try the February menu and the 6th-anniversary special course in March.

I arrived after walking a little north from exit 9 of Osaka Tenmangu Station. It's an Italian restaurant with a calm atmosphere that also has a touch of Japanese style. I tried the weekday lunch set course, which includes 6 dishes and a drink, making it a great deal. The colorful appetizer platter made with seasonal ingredients was visually appealing and filling. The seasonal onion cold soup was sweet and delicious. The chef's special pasta with shirasu (small fish) and green perilla was light and tasty. The main dish of the day was pork. For dessert, they served homemade focaccia with a choice of coffee or tea. Each dish was easy to eat and left me feeling satisfied. I would love to visit again.
