I have visited RiVi, a restaurant in Osaka, for the first time for dinner after multiple visits for lunch and events. I really enjoy the gastronomic space created by Chef Yamada and Mr. Tabata's unique world view and atmosphere. However, the high prices and constant price increases make the 15,000 yen for a 14-course meal with tax and service included a bit intimidating. Despite that, the cost performance is amazing! The staff were lively and fun until the very end, and I will definitely visit again. RiVi 050-5456-7867 Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture, Nishi-ku, Kyomachi Hori 1-16-28 W Kyomachi Hori Building 1F.

I had the 8,000 yen course for lunch today. The dishes were: loach with consommé and rice, foie gras brick, squid with caviar and okra, mussel with kumquat and beer, corn with sea urchin and marigold, sausage with Yawata soybeans, shishito pepper with bonito flakes, tomato with chimichurri, eel with brown rice tea, and white chocolate with herbs for dessert. Before the meal, I could choose the chopsticks I wanted to use and take them home. The cutlery and dishes were all lovely. It was very delicious.

On July 18, 2023, in Osaka, at Higobashi, RiVi is located at 1-16-28 W Kyomachibori Building 1F in Nishi-ku, Osaka City. The restaurant is closed on irregular days and operates during lunch hours from 12:00 to 15:00 and dinner hours from 18:00 to 23:00. It is a stylish and innovative restaurant in Higobashi, serving dishes like loach soup, caviar, and foie gras. The name "RiVi" apparently means a life with laughter, and the dishes indeed bring a smile to your face the moment they are served. The menu is fun to explore with friends, trying to guess what each dish is. It was a delightful experience with stylish, enjoyable, and delicious food. Thank you for the feast. #rivi #HigobashiRiVi #Higobashi #HigobashiCuisine #HigobashiDinner #Innovative #InnovativeFusion #OsakaCuisine #Italian #French

I came to a restaurant like this for the first time in a while and had a great time. I'm excited to think about what's next. It was a wonderfully strange feeling!! It seems like it would be a lot of fun to use for a date. haha I want to go again, so I'll invite someone to go with me!!!

The entrance of the restaurant is beautiful and lovely. The interior is cozy with private rooms where you can enjoy a relaxing time. The wine pairing adjusts to your pace, offering a mix of Western cuisine with a touch of Japanese flavors and tableware, which was refreshing and delightful.

Hello, this is Yuyama. Today, I went to the popular restaurant rivi, which has been buzzing on social media, for a date with my affair partner. It was about a 10-minute walk from Higobashi Station on the Yotsubashi Line, a bit inconvenient in terms of access. Now, let's get into the review: 【Food】I ordered the lunch course for 8000 yen (tax included). It included about 13 items, including small sweets. It's a bit pricey, but the quality and quantity were impressive. Both my affair partner and I were very satisfied. While there wasn't one standout dish, everything was delicious in its own way. 【Service】There was a sommelier on staff. I've dined at many restaurants, but I've never been impressed by the service staff until now. The service at rivi was lovely. It seems that the chef and sommelier both embody the restaurant's concept. Wonderful. 【Ambiance】The interior of the restaurant is stylish. Taking a date here might make any woman swoon. I don't remember the exact total, but the bill came out to around 12,000 yen per person. I highly recommend it for a luxurious lunch experience. There aren't many recommended restaurants in Osaka, but rivi has become a favorite spot for me. I had a great experience this time, so I may have gone a bit overboard with my praise. I look forward to visiting again with a different woman. That's all for now.

This restaurant is perfect for when you want to have a relaxed meal. The atmosphere is very nice, making it a great choice for celebrations or special occasions. In addition to the innovative Italian cutlery, you can also choose your favorite color chopsticks to take home with you. Each dish is carefully prepared and beautifully presented, and they taste delicious. The service is attentive and pleasant. I would love to visit this restaurant again, especially with the changing seasons.

Rivi, who has visited several times, was served 13 dishes starting from what seemed like an amuse-bouche. There may only be a chef and an assistant, as they only take reservations for two groups. As usual, the dishes were served in amazing tableware and the unique combinations were delicious. There were surprising ingredients here and there. No matter how many times you go, it seems like there will always be something to look forward to.

During my second visit, I decided to enjoy a relaxing time in a private room. Each dish was visually appealing and delicious, allowing me to fully enjoy with all my senses. The wine pairing was also superb, perfectly complementing the dishes. The stylish and spacious interior created a wonderful atmosphere for a leisurely time. I was also happy to receive chopsticks as a gift, which I can use at home.

However, this restaurant offers simple yet flavorful dishes with a touch of creativity and new discoveries. Definitely worth a visit! ☺️✨ - Opening hours: Lunch 12:00-15:00 Dinner 18:00-23:00 - Closed irregularly

The dishes were not casual but quite creative and distinctive. Despite that, the 13,000 yen course menu was reasonable. The meal started with a paste of loach on a rice paddy field, with soup poured on top and mixed in. This was followed by a dish of cucumber mousse sandwiched between scallop meringue, with seaweed, sour cream, and miso made from flying fish roe. The meal also included fried young ayu fish with apple, caviar, seaweed, watermelon, zucchini, and corn in corn soup. Other dishes featured hand-caught shrimp, white shrimp, conger eel somen with perilla oil, pork simmered in awamori with egg yolk sauce and chili seasoning, and red snapper with bell pepper and plum. The dessert was ginger and almond mousse with pineapple cheesecake, along with baked sweets and coffee. Despite enjoying quite a bit of wine, the total cost was around 26,000 yen, but it is possible to have an enjoyable experience within 20,000 yen.

I visited this place for the first time for lunch with my mother. The interior of the restaurant is spacious with stylish decorations like plants and objects, which shows great taste. I was impressed by the beautiful colors of the chopsticks they let you choose from. Each dish was like a work of art, perfect for women. The food was delicate and at first, I thought the portions were small, but by the end, I was pleasantly full. The fish dish (I forgot the name) was particularly memorable, with crispy scales and a small flower on top that added a refreshing flavor. The meat dish was also amazing, especially the sauce. The staff provided attentive service, making it a pleasant dining experience. I will definitely visit again. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

The cost performance, atmosphere, taste of the food, and service were all satisfying and met my expectations. The exterior of the restaurant had a calm atmosphere, and each dish was impressive. The service was polite and attentive.

I visited this restaurant as a Mother's Day present. The food, wine pairing, atmosphere, and hospitality were all amazing. The scallop sauté and black beef were incredibly delicious. Every dish in the course was tasty, but the most impressive was the Hiyashi bread. The hijiki, simmered in red wine, paired perfectly with the cheese inside the bread. It was surprising how well hijiki, usually paired with rice, went with bread. I was also impressed by the innovative idea of simmering Japanese hijiki in red wine. I ordered the wine pairing, and in addition to that, they also served a complimentary sherry that went well with the dessert. Overall, it was a top-notch restaurant in terms of both food and hospitality. Thank you for the wonderful meal! ✨

Located in Osaka, "RiVi" offers innovative fusion cuisine that is presented in a fantastical way, evoking nostalgic memories while creating a dream-like world. Chef-owner Naoya Yamada aims to weave stories through his dishes, drawing inspiration from his hometown and Japanese identity. The 15-course dinner menu priced at 14,000 yen is a result of dedicated craftsmanship. The meal starts with dishes that express Yamada's roots and Japan's identity, such as a flan dish resembling a rice paddy with floating rice cracker representing rice stalks. Each course is a delightful surprise, incorporating familiar Japanese ingredients in a fresh and creative way. The presentation is impeccable, with attention to detail in both the dishes and the servingware. The restaurant's success is also attributed to the skilled service provided by the staff, who ensure that guests have an enjoyable dining experience. "RiVi" embodies the concept of innovative fusion cuisine, offering a unique and memorable dining experience. Due to its popularity and limited seating, making a reservation may be challenging, but it is definitely worth a revisit.

I had been checking out @rivi.osaka #Rivi for a while, and Jun-chan also said it was delicious, so let's have lunch together. We decided on the #GourmetMeal7000yen (including tax) and since both of us drink, we also requested the #Pairing (3 types for 4000 yen, a great deal!). We started with a toast with champagne. First, warm soup was poured into an iron teapot. The amuse-bouche was soft and delightful when mixed together. Next, we enjoyed the intricately prepared pork rillettes. It was delicious and paired well with champagne. Then, we were served a lotus root manju in a bowl with lotus root chips on the lid. It was a light and enjoyable dish. The shrimp croquette was cute and tasty. The next dish was a mackerel served in a fish-shaped daikon radish with a colorful gradient. The daikon fish was delicious when combined with the sauce. Then, we were served a soft-boiled egg with beetroot art and freshly grated wasabi, along with American sauce made from lobster. The creamy sauce with a generous amount of wasabi added depth to the dish. Next, we had a flounder wrapped in seaweed with a soup made from chin soup and pork. The flounder was plump and light yet flavorful. The main course was black wagyu beef with miso, which was interesting and delicious. Finally, we had salmon rice with salmon roe on top. The rice was plump and flavorful, and I even wanted seconds. Including champagne and three glasses of wine, the total cost was around 11,000 yen. The portion sizes may be small for men, but overall, it was a great experience. The atmosphere was nice, the staff was friendly, and we had a lot of fun taking photos. The restaurant was almost empty due to cancellations caused by COVID-19, so it felt like a private room. The service was excellent, but I wish we had more freedom to chat and enjoy a girls' talk. Overall, it was a delightful experience.

It was December, so I went to see the Xmas special show, and it was really wonderful. The girls were completely captivated by the elaborate production. My friend who went with me said it felt like we were watching a top-notch play with well-paced scenes. The cookies we got as souvenirs were also exquisite. I haven't been there yet this year, so I really need to go soon!

The taste is delicate and very delicious, the hospitality is wonderful, and the price is incredibly low! I was surprised at this quality for this price. In Tokyo, it would cost over 30,000 yen, but it's only around 10,000 yen here. The dishes are beautifully presented, the explanations are enjoyable, and I ended up drinking too much. It's a fantastic restaurant. I would love to go back if I visit Osaka again.

On this day, we decided to have a slightly luxurious lunch and visited the innovative restaurant "RiVi," which only offers table seats that we had been wanting to try for a while. We made a reservation for the course menu (6500 yen including tax) in advance, and when we arrived, we were impressed by the high quality of service and the artistic sense and skill in the Japanese-style dishes. While some dishes seemed ordinary, there were many that moved us, including one that was truly touching. Overall, the restaurant exceeded our expectations with its symphonic crossover atmosphere. This visit took place in late October 2021 afternoon. The course we had included 8 dishes, "Shukurekur" bread, 1 dessert, tea sweets, and coffee. We started with champagne (2420 yen) for a toast, and the first dish, "Dojo no Flan," was served, representing the original scenery of Japan's rice fields with duck consomme poured from a cast iron teapot. While the taste was ordinary, we appreciated the concept. The following dishes, such as Foie Gras Sablé and Curry Oyaki, had strong flavors, and the fourth dish, the Sabazushi, had a unique blend of Japanese and Western elements. The fifth dish, Lobster with Américaine Sauce and Steamed Sole, captivated us, and the main course, although the meat texture was a bit disappointing, was still enjoyable. The highlight was the seventh dish, "Salmon Takikomi Gohan topped with Ikura," which was truly impressive. A male service staff mixed the Takikomi Gohan with Ikura, creating a high-quality dish that felt like a gem. The male staff member who served us was also a sommelier, and he was smart and engaging in conversation. He mentioned that he had returned to Kansai from Tokyo and had worked in several restaurants before teaming up with the chef at "RiVi." The chef had experience in Italy and had honed his skills at a French restaurant in Osaka before opening "RiVi." Although we didn't see the chef during our meal, he greeted us with a smile when we left. We paired our meal with champagne (2420 yen) and half glasses of three different wines (4400 yen each). While some drinks seemed pricey and some dishes didn't quite hit the mark, the commendable dishes in the 6500 yen course menu, along with the warm service, left us feeling fulfilled and exceeded our expectations during this memorable visit in late October. Visiting a restaurant is not just about satisfying your taste buds but also experiencing a moment of art, filled with Japanese sentiment and creativity. I hope many people will visit "RiVi" and enjoy the unique dining experience it offers.

I posted a few photos. From light dishes to hearty ones, I enjoyed them slowly! Some dishes were a bit mysterious, but the flavors were new and I want to go back! The first few dishes were so delicious, I wanted to eat three of each! Next time, I want to enjoy them with plenty of wine.

A stylish restaurant in Higo Bridge! This time for lunch: - A delicious and warm soup - Tasmanian salmon and marinated salmon roe with herb oil and whey sauce - Tagliatelle with porcini mushrooms and six types of mushrooms ragout sauce - Lobster and warm vegetables with American and beet sauce - Aso red beef roast with foie gras and black truffle red wine sauce - Bûche de Noël - Tea sweets - Sucrée bread We also had 6 wines paired with champagne to start. It was a luxurious lunch experience in an elegant setting. The restaurant was very hospitable and even accommodated our dislikes in ingredients. My favorite was the tagliatelle - a lovely pasta with the scent of porcini. The special lunch course we had was 10,000 yen with pairing, but their regular lunch courses start from 5,000 yen, so it's more affordable. You can also stay for a leisurely 3 hours, making it perfect for a special lunch time. Dinner seems like it would also have a great atmosphere, making it ideal for a date. Thank you for the meal.
