I tried the monthly special course at Kuro Roan, which is packed with the charm of the restaurant. The course included: - Appetizer: Ice-fish and root celery in seaweed dressing - Small soup: Oyster and udo in clear broth with plum, carrot, and fresh ginger - Sashimi: Grilled winter yellowtail, charcoal-grilled sea bream with pine bark, and sea cucumber - Charcoal-grilled dishes: Flatfish wrapped in green onions, grilled turnip with miso paste - Tempura: Cloud ear mushroom tempura - Oyster meat: Large and plump oyster - Meat dish: Black Wagyu beef roast with dashi - Clay pot rice: Salted salmon from Murakami, Niigata, and rice from Yonezawa with green onions - Dessert: Handmade bracken rice cake The tempura was crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside, creating a deliciously addictive taste. The oyster meat was large and juicy. The roast beef was tender and delicious. The clay pot rice was filled with plenty of salmon. It was a luxurious and satisfying meal plan until dessert. The atmosphere of the restaurant was excellent, and the staff's service was great, allowing me to have a wonderful time.

I made a reservation for the lunch course and it was surprisingly good in terms of portion size and taste for only 2200 yen. I highly recommend going here for lunch! The interior is very calming and would be perfect for a date. I would love to go back again.

I heard that the menu will be changing to sushi and Japanese cuisine from the 19th of this month, so I went there before the change. It seems that the variety of hot pot rice will also decrease in the future. Hmm, that's disappointing. The restaurant was busier than usual and almost full. The delicious sake and various dishes were excellent!

"Kouroan is a high-class Japanese restaurant where you can enjoy delicious dishes while experiencing the atmosphere of the chefs in the live kitchen. The exterior and interior have a calm atmosphere, but it was surprisingly noisy on a Friday night because it was fully booked. The popular Shin-Kou course, which includes 9 dishes including dessert, was all elegantly seasoned. There were many fish dishes, which was great. The lava-grilled steak was also delicious! The tai-kama meshi was served for the second time as ochazuke, allowing us to fully enjoy the flavor of the sea bream. It was really delicious and satisfying. I would like to try a different course next time. Thank you for the wonderful meal!"

The newly opened Japanese restaurant in Namba, Zaura, which opened in June last year, offers a modern Japanese interior that creates a stark contrast with its exterior. With an open kitchen, you can enjoy a lively atmosphere at the counter seats. We reserved the luxurious lunch set "Red Snapper and Seasonal Vegetable Dashi Hot Pot with Red Snapper Rice in a Pot" on this day. The meal started with a finger-sized "Salmon Roe and Avocado Tartare in a Mini Bun". Next, we enjoyed the delicious "Red Snapper and Seasonal Vegetable Golden Dashi Hot Pot". The broth was incredibly tasty. The deep-fried dish was "Hiroshima Oyster Fry" with a hint of smoky flavor from smoked cheese. It paired well with the oyster's umami taste. Served on a lava stone plate was the "Black Beef Fuji Lava Grill" with grated ponzu sauce and onions, offering a refreshing yet meaty flavor. Finally, the highlight was the "Red Snapper Rice in a Pot" with a set of "Hittsumabushi" including sesame-flavored fish, seaweed miso soup, and pickles. Mix the rice well in the pot, enjoy the red snapper rice as is for the first bowl, and then add toppings and broth for a tea rice bowl experience. The lunch set, usually priced at 2,860 yen, is available on weekdays for 2,200 yen (reservations can also be made through the official website). The restaurant offers counter seats and semi-private table seats, with friendly and attentive service, making it a great choice for a luxurious lunch on a date or special occasion.

Moreover, the pricing is reasonable. The counter seats were already filling up early on weekdays. There were semi-private tables, private tables, and even complete private rooms available. The course meal was outstanding. The oyster appetizer in the beginning was so fresh and satisfying. The sashimi followed by the grilled cherry snapper with new onions and kujo green onions was a perfect match. The roast beef glistening with broth was also delicious. The meal ended with a clay pot rice dish and warabi mochi, a satisfying conclusion to the course. Whether it's a girls' night out, a special date, or just looking to impress, Kouroan is the place to go! Visit them soon!

We used to occasionally use this place for gatherings with our growing family, and when we went back after a long time, we found that the location had changed to a more sophisticated, adult atmosphere. Watching the chefs work efficiently behind the counter while enjoying the food is great, and the table seating with solid partitions allows for a leisurely dining experience. The restaurant consistently delivers delicious meals. This time, we were drawn to the lunch menu we saw last time, and my friend and I were both impressed by the quality and value. It was a very satisfying experience.

I used to go here occasionally for special occasions, but when I went back after a long time, I found out that the location had moved. It has now turned into a sophisticated adult restaurant. Everything was carefully made and delicious. The lunch menu recommended by the staff looked tasty as well, so I plan to make a reservation soon.

Osaka / Namba / Oyster lovers must-see affordable Japanese modern course dinner at Kouroan. Chef's special course by Umemizuki for ¥5500. The dishes were beautifully presented and the flavors were delicious. The course included two dishes with oysters, as well as white fish and black beef. The highlight was the clay pot rice at the end. The service was exceptional, with perfect timing for serving dishes. The restaurant has a luxurious atmosphere with private rooms, making it perfect for entertaining or celebrating. Located in Namba, it is a hidden gem with a loyal following. Thank you for reading until the end.

A popular restaurant that offers high-quality Japanese cuisine with both traditional and creative elements at reasonable prices. A favorite dish is the salmon and ikura kama-meshi, along with the shrimp tempura with sakura shrimp in the batter. The chef's playful touch and unique twists on dishes are the highlights! Be sure to try the carefully selected Japanese sake. Highly recommended for a date night.

I went to eat at the restaurant after seeing their Instagram and wanting to try their food. I ordered the "Gokumi Kaiseki" course, which included various dishes such as appetizers, steamed oysters, sashimi, charcoal-grilled dishes, tempura, and more. The course cost 8800 yen per person (drinks not included). I sat at the counter and could watch the chefs cook in front of me, which was a great experience. The food was plentiful and delicious, especially the oysters which were in season. The atmosphere of the restaurant was nice, with an open kitchen that added to the overall experience. It cost around 20,000 yen for two people. Overall, it was a very tasty meal.

It seems like a famous restaurant, but it was my first visit. The lunch menu looks very good. Although the course menu for dinner seemed attractive, this time I decided to go with a la carte. The staff kept recommending oysters, so I tried the oyster sampler with four varieties. They were all small, maybe it was too early in the season, but it was a bit of a mystery why they were pushing oysters so much. The appetizer had four types, but none of them stood out. The roast beef was delicious. The crab cream croquette had a nice touch with crab miso added to the sauce, enhancing the croquette. The seared meat sushi was average, with lean meat making it light and tasty. I was impressed by the variety of highball options. The Earl Grey tea highball was delicious! I chose the sea bream for the rice pot dish. The broth was well-seasoned, and there was no fishy smell. I would like to try their lunch menu next time!

I went to Kouroan, a restaurant where you can enjoy authentic Japanese cuisine! I had the luxurious seasonal lunch which included: [Appetizer] Golden miso soup with amberjack shabu-shabu [Fried dish] Hiroshima oyster fry [Lava grill] Black beef lava grill [Clay pot dish] Red snapper clay pot rice with hittsumabushi style [Soup] Red snapper with sesame dressing and miso soup. The creamy oyster fry had a rich aroma of oysters that spread in my mouth and was delicious! The amberjack and golden miso soup were also excellent! Eating the amberjack and vegetables together and then drinking the soup was perfect. For the red snapper clay pot, I ate the first serving as it is and the second serving as hittsumabushi style! Both had different deliciousness, but personally, I preferred the hittsumabushi style! The red snapper with sesame dressing had various toppings and condiments, offering a delicious variety of flavors! The restaurant had a stylish atmosphere with a counter and tables, and there was a line before opening, so I recommend going early or making a reservation.

The weather was a bit gloomy on Wednesday at 6:00 pm, and it was also the first match for Japan in the World Cup. I made a reservation and went to the restaurant. By 7:00 pm, it seemed like the place was already full, showing its popularity. I was surprised by the cool entrance as I walked in. The interior of the restaurant was elegant with black, gray, wood, and ambient lighting, making it perfect for a date night. There were mostly couples inside. The open kitchen was spacious with 7-8 staff members working, and there were 3 attentive servers constantly checking on customers. The restaurant felt more upscale than a typical izakaya but less formal than a traditional Japanese restaurant. They really put effort into the service. In the back, I could see a fire burning for grilling bonito, adding to the visual appeal. The draft beer was served in a ceramic glass, creating a beautiful foam. I ordered an oyster tasting set which included oysters from Iwate, Tatsuno, Hokkaido, and Australia. It was fascinating to taste the different sizes and flavors of oysters. Personally, I enjoyed the Tatsuno oysters the most for their concentrated flavor. The Australian oysters were surprisingly salty, probably due to their storage conditions. The grilled and marinated oysters were also delicious. The roast beef soaked in broth and the light tempura were all prepared at a high level. Everything was delicious, but I have to mention that the salted fish roe here was the best I've ever had. Overall, I felt lucky to discover such a great restaurant before the end of the year!

In June, Kouroan Nanba in Osaka relocated and reopened with a new look. The atmosphere is calm, chic, and sophisticated, perfect for enjoying seasonal ingredients and drinks. I tried a variety of dishes a la carte, and everything was delicious and reasonably priced. I had a selection of sashimi, cod milt with ponzu sauce, thick shiitake mushrooms, miso-grilled mackerel, charcoal-grilled Wagyu beef, spring rolls with Fukahire, grilled oysters, grated beef tendon, ham cutlets, steamed matsutake mushrooms with sea bream, Wagyu beef and mushroom butter soy hot pot, sweet potato brulee, and hand-mixed bracken rice cakes. The seasonal oysters allowed for a comparison of flavors from different regions. The dessert, sweet potato brulee, was a highlight. With counter seating, tables, and private rooms, this restaurant is recommended for various occasions. Definitely worth a visit! ❤️

I had a luxurious lunch at Kouroan Namba store, a Japanese restaurant where the hustle and bustle of Namba feels surprisingly calm! I ordered the "Seasonal Assorted Lunch Box" and the "Wagyu Hitsumabushi" luxurious lunch set. [Appetizer] The surprise combination of avocado and salmon roe in the appetizer was delightful! [Seasonal Assorted Lunch Box] (Sashimi) Today's sashimi was Thai fish. (Simmered) Included yuba, simmered beans, and simmered eggplant. (Tofu) Homemade tofu with Kinzanji mustard. (Vinegared dish) Salmon roe with grated radish. (Grilled dish) Thinly rolled omelette, grilled salmon with miso paste, chestnut gluten, simmered marujuku, and lotus root simmered in soy sauce. Everything was beautifully presented and delicious! [Wagyu Hitsumabushi] The main dish of the meal! When the lid was lifted, glossy Wagyu beef appeared! It was neatly arranged in rows so it was easy to portion with a spoon. The first serving was enjoyed as is to savor the flavor of the Wagyu beef. The second serving was with egg yolk and special sauce for a delicious egg topping. The combination of egg yolk and Wagyu beef was exceptional! For the third serving, I poured carefully prepared broth with bonito flakes and Hokkaido kelp over the rice for a tea-flavored finish. There are private rooms available, but watching the meticulous work at the open kitchen while dining is also enjoyable. It's a great place for a date or business entertainment. Next time, I would like to enjoy some drinks in the evening. Thank you for the wonderful meal.
