Today, I was a bit nervous as a diver. My wine-loving boss, A, heard about this place and came all the way from Nagoya for a business trip. It's rare to have this kind of business trip nowadays. Our company seems pretty cool. They paired 2 types of sparkling wines, 2 whites, 3 reds, and a sweet Tokaji wine for dessert with the dishes. I definitely drank at least 1.5 bottles alone. I'm so drunk. The food is the reliable Santa Monica course! Starting with tofu, and ending with garlic fried rice, you can enjoy elaborate and delicious dishes. If the price was high, it would be a bit disappointing, but it's just an additional 500 yen on top of the regular all-you-can-drink price! I had a great time for only 6000 yen including tax. Since the management is a wine importer, they can source good value and delicious wines from around the world. Pairing them with the food at this price felt like a bargain. I will definitely come back here♪

Former colleagues from my previous job gathered together after a long time. There were 4 men (middle-aged) and 2 women, totaling 6 people at our alumni reunion. The restaurant I chose as the organizer is one that consistently impresses us, so we end up going there quite often. We opted for the casual course priced at 5,000 yen with all-you-can-drink, offering a step up in the quality of dishes. On this day, all the members were extremely satisfied with the food. The menu included: - Assorted sashimi - Grilled salmon and citrus salad - Teriyaki chicken pizza - Fish & chips - Barbecue pork - Shrimp jambalaya - Vanilla ice cream and seasonal fruits. Repeatedly returning to a place brings good things, like them remembering your preferences. For instance, since I'm not a fan of raw fish, they always start with cooked fish for me. The salmon turned into grilled salmon, which was incredibly delicious. The salad with grilled salmon was also exquisite, blending the sweetness and acidity of oranges perfectly with the wine. The pizza was not Neapolitan but crispy Roman style, with the unique umami of teriyaki and the sweetness of mayonnaise being irresistible. The fish and fried potatoes were a great pairing, leading to a switch to red wine with the rich barbecue pork. The spicy jambalaya that followed was perfectly complemented by the red wine, as was the vanilla ice cream. We managed to finish everything with just wine after toasting with beer, which was a pleasant surprise. The wines we had that day were: - Edda 2021 San Marzano, an Italian Chardonnay that was light, well-balanced, and had a strong green apple flavor. - Il Pumo Negroamaro San Marzano 2021, also from Italy, with a pleasant spiciness and a rich berry aftertaste that was not overwhelming. Besides the delicious food, this restaurant stands out for its high-quality wine selection, with the option to substitute if a bottle on the all-you-can-drink menu is unavailable. It was a fantastic time with great food, wine, and wonderful friends, all while overlooking the night view of downtown Osaka. We settled the bill quickly with PayPay. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

Happy Hour is from 11:00 to 16:59, and with the easy QR code ordering, it's a perfect spot for a casual solo lunch drink. The specialty red snapper bowl is a luxurious dish with finely chopped red snapper, tuna, yellowtail, salmon, negitoro, and salmon sashimi mixed in, topped with flying fish roe.

Visited Naniwa Robata Choutai on the 10th floor of Osaka Station Luqua! All-you-can-drink course for 5,000 yen flat rate! Salad, carpaccio, fish and chips, main meat dish, ochazuke, and dessert - ice cream! For drinks, scan the QR code, glass exchange system, and add additional drinks. The food and drink service was quick and good!

Located on the 10th floor of Lucua, there is a restaurant called "Itadakitai." The clientele seems to be mostly young people, creating a lively atmosphere like an izakaya. The dishes, which are visually appealing, are not bad whether it's fish or meat. They are open late at night, making it convenient for adjusting your schedule. The service of the dishes may be a bit slow, but the staff are polite, and overall impression is good.

I went to this restaurant at night and noticed that many people were ordering set meals. They also have a menu for drinks to go with alcohol. It's a modern restaurant where you can order using your smartphone. Located on the 10th floor of LUCUA, it's strange that even though it's a new restaurant, there are often empty seats while other places are crowded on weekends. The restaurant specializes in Japanese cuisine, particularly fish dishes. The taste is average, the prices are average, and the service is average. Even though they have a rule of a 2-hour limit when it's busy, they seem to have a confident attitude despite not being very popular. The dessert, a baked marshmallow, was delicious! But I probably won't come back again.

It was around midday on Saturday and things had calmed down a bit. I ordered the 4-color rice bowl. The price was reasonable. I started by eating it with soy sauce, but about halfway through, I turned it into ochazuke. There is a small flask of sea bream broth, and when you open it, it has a nice smell. I like dishes that you can enjoy by changing the taste, so I didn't get tired of it until the end.

Ripple Robata, Top-Quality Sea Bream, LUCUA Osaka Store Casual Course I remembered drinking wine in Kita-Shinchi in the past, so I decided to try the shop at LUCUA! First of all, the atmosphere is stylish (*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)ﾊｱﾊｱ!!! It's not a place for a sake lover like me, but it's recommended for dates or anniversaries (´▽`)/ This time it was a company social gathering, hehe (´ε｀ )♪ Overall, everything was delicious without any misses ( ´ ▽ ` )ノ Personally, I really enjoyed the grilled salmon and citrus salad and the barbecue pork! The salad with Japanese mustard sauce was delicious, and the inclusion of orange peel added a refreshing taste with acidity, sweetness, and bitterness. The salmon was also incredibly delicious ( ´ ▽ ` )ノ The barbecue pork had a satisfying texture! I was worried about any pork smell, but there was nothing to be concerned about. The fat was sweet and the seasoning was spot on! I'm glad I chose this for the social gathering! Next time, I'd like to try the a la carte menu as well (´▽`)/! Thank you for the meal! Menu: 1. Assorted sashimi of 3 types of fish 2. Grilled salmon and citrus salad with Japanese mustard 3. Teriyaki chicken pizza 4. Fish & chips with basil aioli sauce 5. Barbecue pork 6. Shrimp jambalaya 7. Vanilla ice cream and seasonal fruits

This popular restaurant gets crowded after 11 am, so I recommend arriving early. By 12 pm, it's usually full and you'll have to wait in line to get in. I came here to try their famous Staircase Set Meal, which includes 7 side dishes. The eel kabayaki is soft and delicious, so I ordered the eel bowl. The sashimi platter with 3 types of fish is just the right size, so I got the seafood bowl. The beef steak is as tasty as roast beef, so I went for the steak bowl. The ikura (salmon roe) and salmon are irresistible, so I ordered the ikura bowl. Of course, I couldn't resist the negitoro (tuna and green onion) and avocado, so I got the negitoro bowl. The tempura with 3 types of ingredients is freshly fried and delicious. The uni (sea urchin) on top of the grilled sea bream is heavenly, so I had the uni bowl. The rice is also delicious, making it easy to eat a lot. They even provide everything you need to make ochazuke (rice in tea) - seaweed, rice crackers, and broth. With a variety of bowls to choose from, I left feeling very satisfied. The seafood was excellent, and the recommended wine looked tempting, so I want to come back for dinner next time. Thank you for the feast!

Limited to 20 servings, the staircase lunch is exquisite and luxurious in appearance. From the top, there are three types of sashimi, roast beef, salmon roe and yam, tuna and avocado, pork belly, tempura trio, and eel with egg. Each dish is carefully seasoned and goes well with rice. Personally, I highly recommend the pork belly and eel! You can choose between regular or large portions of rice, and there is no additional charge for a large portion.

Masayan and his wife went shopping in the Umeda area and visited a restaurant called "Chotai" because other famous chain stores had long lines. The lunch in Osaka is like this, right? Of course, it's not a bad thing. The fish was fresh, the seasoning was good, the staff were kind, the restaurant was clean, and the view was nice.

It seemed like a very popular restaurant, so I made a reservation with my friends and we went together. We ordered the limited set of 20 dishes. Each dish was served one by one, and we enjoyed eating them. You could have unlimited refills of rice and red miso soup, which were delicious, so I had a little more of both. The red miso soup for refills was warm and tasty. I poured the salmon roe and grated yam over the rice to make a bowl. My friends were also happy, so I'm glad. I want to go again. It was good that we could make a reservation. It was nice to see customers coming in one after another. There was also furikake available, so it's okay even if you have children with you. You can refill your rice, so I felt they were considerate. Adults might also want to try the furikake. Next time, I will come with my daughter and grandchildren.

On the weekend, I strolled around Lucua. Since everywhere was crowded, I went into a less busy shop. I ordered a limited quantity lunch, and each dish was explained to me. You can have extra white rice and red miso soup. Overall, the dishes were so-so, nothing exceptional. I might consider going back at night.

I had a leisurely lunch in a great location inside Lucua with a nice view. I haven't tried their limited edition dish yet, so I would like to visit next time they open and try it. It's a popular restaurant, but it's great that you can make a reservation. I definitely want to visit again.

I went for lunch around 1:00 pm and the limited menu item I was interested in was sold out. I ordered the simmered dish lunch for 1,000 yen. The simmered fish changes daily, and today it was simmered Spanish mackerel. It was delicious, the restaurant was clean, and there were people with babies in strollers too! There are sofa seats and chair seats, so it's definitely easy to go even with a stroller! The grilled fish also changes daily for 1,000 yen? Weekly maybe? On this day, the grilled fish was grilled sea bream with salt! The rice and red miso soup were free refills. I was so full that I couldn't get seconds. There was a packet of furikake placed on each table too!

My friend came from Tokyo, so we decided to visit this restaurant. As a sake lover, we were impressed by the all-you-can-drink menu. Each dish was delicious and served in generous portions. We were so busy enjoying the food that we didn't even have time to take photos. The standout sakes of the day were Hinata and Harada. Hinata was light and easy to drink, perfect for sipping throughout the meal. Harada had a strong sweetness, which complemented the acidity of the tomatoes on the menu perfectly. With a great selection of sakes like Hinata, Tanosake, and Kudoki Jozu, this place offers excellent value for sake lovers. I will definitely recommend it to any sake enthusiasts and will be visiting again.

The appearance is luxurious! Luxurious in a bucket! Chirashi sushi with side dishes and miso soup, just enough to fill your stomach. The famous Staircase Set Meal was sold out, so this time I had the seafood chirashi with octopus and squid, which was good. It's very convenient as it is located on the 10th floor of Lucua. ・Luxurious!! Seafood Chirashi Set Meal ¥2,200

I visited the second branch of this izakaya located in Osaka's Kita-Shinchi, which opened last year in LUCUA Osaka. Compared to the Kita-Shinchi branch, it has a more relaxed atmosphere, making it easy for families to use. The popular menu item "Staircase Sashimi" is sure to be a hit on Instagram!

We went to the restaurant for lunch on Christmas Eve with our elementary school child and 3-year-old daughter, making a family of four. The children's menu is reasonably priced and comes with a good amount of food. They even provide ice with the udon for kids who don't like hot food. They also prepared two extra plates and asked, "How many people will be using these?" which was a perfect service. The restaurant is clean, stylish, and the staff are very clean and gave a good impression. You can also make reservations for lunch, so I recommend making a reservation if you are going with children.

This is an izakaya restaurant located in Kitashinchi, with Italian elements incorporated into the menu. Their signature dish, the sashimi staircase platter, not only looks great but the meat is tender and delicious. The eel and pickled radish garlic rice is an unexpected but tasty combination. The restaurant is located in Lucua, so it may be more geared towards younger people.

I had heard about a popular "Staircase Meal" in Kitashinchi, but I couldn't go for a while. Then, I noticed that the restaurant had moved to the restaurant floor of Lucua. The sign "Choutai" with the message "There are delicious fish" caught my attention. Additionally, there was a unique curtain that said "NO FISH NO LIFE". The famous Staircase Meal is limited to 20 servings only. I arrived early during lunchtime and waited for the opening. Everyone seemed to be there for the Staircase Meal. Once the restaurant opened, people started entering one after another. They also offered seafood bowls and assorted sashimi sets. The restaurant is quite spacious with an open atmosphere. I ordered the Staircase Meal! The meal is served in a staircase-like arrangement, which is visually appealing. There is furikake on the table - noritama, sake, okaka. Feel free to add it to your rice. By the way, you can have unlimited refills of rice and miso soup. With furikake, you can eat as much rice as you want (laughs). The meal includes eel and rolled omelette, tempura, braised pork, green onion and avocado, sea urchin, grated yam with salmon roe, and sashimi. A menu that makes you want to eat more rice. The miso soup is red miso. It was delicious. The visual presentation is enjoyable. Thank you for the meal.

I made a reservation and visited on a regular day for a gathering with my colleagues from work. We reserved the "LUCUA" course (with premium all-you-can-drink) for 5,500 yen, which included 6 dishes. The restaurant is located on the 10th floor of LUCUA, making it convenient and close to the station. We had a window seat, so the view was beautiful. The drinks were ordered by adding the restaurant's LINE account and ordering ourselves, which was convenient as the restaurant was quite busy. However, it was a bit confusing to differentiate between the regular drink menu and the all-you-can-drink menu. We opted for the premium all-you-can-drink, so there was a wide variety of drinks available. The dishes were lacking in volume and were disappointing for the price. Therefore, I only have a photo of the first carpaccio dish... Despite the variety of drinks in the all-you-can-drink option, I felt that the cost performance was not good with these dishes. Although the location and atmosphere were nice, I felt a little disappointed.
