All the menu items were delicious. The staff would bring new plates for us each time, and when a new menu item was added, they would announce it loudly. The dishes were all lightly seasoned, which was perfect for those who prefer lighter flavors. It was nice that we could choose our own seasonings, like salt for tempura, soy sauce for sushi, and various dressings for salads. We were 5 minutes late for our reservation, but they had set a 2-hour time limit for our stay starting from when we were seated. The roast beef, available only at night, was also very tasty! They quickly replenished items when they were running low, so we didn't have to wait long to enjoy them. Most of the dishes, like sushi rice, simmered hijiki seaweed, and dried daikon radish, were seasoned to suit Japanese tastes, so some international visitors might find them too strong.

It's perfect when you want to try various types of food. There are many Japanese dishes, but also Chinese and Western dishes with just the right amount of flavor. The evening buffet costs 3300 yen, and for all-you-can-eat snow crab it's an additional 3000 yen. There weren't many customers on weekdays, but there was a 2-hour time limit. There was also oden available with a wide variety of options, which made it enjoyable. There was also a person dining alone, so I might try that next time.

Let's have lunch at Chisouzanmai on the 14th floor of Daimaru Umeda store. It's all-you-can-eat for 2400 yen. If you eat as much as you want for lunch, you won't be able to eat dinner, so it's a good deal for one meal. Payment is made in advance, and the time limit is 1 hour and 30 minutes. Alcoholic drinks are not included, so I'll stick to the free soft drinks. First, let's see what they have to offer. I started by getting a little bit of everything. I got fried chicken breast and thigh. They were fried well. Dried daikon radish, freeze-dried tofu and shiitake mushrooms, salt-grilled mackerel, broccoli. The broccoli had a strong garlic flavor. Sushi includes tuna, salmon, shrimp, egg, and squid. Tempura consists of lotus root and eggplant. All vegetables. Sashimi is bonito tataki and sweet shrimp. Peeling shrimp and crab is a hassle. Eating all-you-can-eat shrimp or crab is troublesome. I eat bonito tataki with salt. Tempura includes lotus root, eggplant, and sweet potato. Also, salt koji-grilled chicken. I eat tempura with salt. Stir-fried rice noodles, mapo tofu, chawanmushi. Chicken broth for pho. I skip the pho because it makes me full. For the second round, I focused on specific dishes. Bonito tataki and fried chicken. Fried rice and mapo tofu. The fried rice is very flavorful. For the third round, I finish with bukkake udon and ochazuke. The ochazuke is made with dashi tea. The dashi flavor is too strong. The bukkake udon was soft. I'm glad I stopped at this point. For the fourth round, I also get a variety of desserts. They are more Chinese-style desserts. Sweet red bean soup without beans. Rice dumplings with sweet red bean paste. A pudding-like dessert made with soy milk. A type of warabi mochi that looks like sweet potato yokan. I add various toppings. Sesame pudding. The sweet potato yokan-like dessert is not as sweet as yokan. Oh, it's hard to move. After this, I didn't feel hungry for about 20 hours. ★I have a blog "Living to Eat" https://pochi12345.blog.fc2.com/blog-entry-13642.html

I added all-you-can-eat crab to the lunch buffet. It's a 90-minute limit. When taking food, you must wear disposable vinyl gloves on both hands. It's a bit of a hassle, but it provides a sense of security. The food selection was okay. There was sushi, with tuna, squid, salmon, shrimp, and egg. The only sashimi-like option was bonito tataki. Other dishes included soy sauce grilled mackerel, hijiki seaweed, dried daikon radish, garlic broccoli namul, pho, sweet and sour meatballs, mapo tofu, pickled mustard leaf fried rice, soup curry. Tempura options were lotus root, eggplant, and sweet potato only. Also available were vermicelli, fried chicken, grilled chicken, chawanmushi, salad, and udon. Desserts included fruit punch, hojicha pudding, senbei, yokan, chocolate brownie, etc. The crab was served at the table. It took quite a while for the crab to arrive, almost after eating all the other dishes. However, the crab that finally came had very little meat and lacked flavor. There was no crab vinegar or anything special. To be honest, it was not tasty at all. I've never had such unappetizing crab before. The dishes and cutlery were also dirty, so I had to search for clean ones to use. I had coffee after the meal, but even the coffee machine was very dirty, and overall, it seemed like the place was not well-maintained. I tried my best to enjoy the buffet to get my money's worth, but the satisfaction level was not high. The photo shows crab for 4 people. You can have seconds, but it takes a long time, so maybe just once.

I returned to Osaka Station after a business trip and met up with a friend at Yodobashi to have dinner. We wanted a restaurant with a view of the night scenery, so we wandered around the 14th floor dining area of Daimaru Umeda store. We hesitated between different restaurants, but finally decided on this one after consulting our wallets. It was after 7 pm, but there were not many customers (probably because the capacity was too large). It had been a while since I had been to a buffet, but the dinner buffet for adults was only 3200 yen, which was incredibly reasonable. What's more, you could add a drink bar for 1600 yen per person, which was a nice service. The male staff member who served us was very polite, cheerful, attentive, and provided excellent customer service. The food itself was average, but the cost performance and the service of the staff were excellent. We had a truly wonderful time. I would like to express my gratitude to the staff. Thank you for the meal.

It has been 4 years since my last visit. Previously, they had crab, oysters, and soup dumplings. They offered a mix of Japanese dishes (sashimi, sushi, tempura, etc.) and Chinese cuisine. The tempura shrimp and roast beef had to be ordered from the staff each time. They would come to clear the plates after you finished eating. Unlike other buffets where you have to return your plates to a specific area, this system was more convenient. The restaurant has an open and relaxed atmosphere.

I visited a Japanese lunch buffet that I had been curious about. I arrived around 1 pm on a weekday and there were about 5 groups of customers already there. I paid first and then found a seat. The buffet was unlimited until 5 pm. Despite the reviews mentioning various types of sashimi and a good selection of dishes, the reality was quite different. There were only bonito tataki and sweet shrimp for sashimi, and not many simmered dishes. The selection included oden, chawanmushi, Sichuan-style mapo tofu, meatballs, fried tofu in broth, vermicelli, soup curry, and a lot of fried foods and carbohydrates. The dessert options were limited as well, and the replenishment of dishes was poor. The price was previously quite high, similar to a hotel lunch, so I had high expectations. However, when I visited, the price had been lowered to 2,200 yen for adults including a drink bar. Despite the price drop, the quality and variety of the food were disappointing.

I visited this restaurant in the food section on the 14th floor of Daimaru Umeda store for a solo lunch on a weekday. They offer all-you-can-eat crab and sweet shrimp, with a wide variety of dishes from Japanese, Western, and Chinese cuisines. The buffet restaurant offers unlimited time for 2,700 yen (tax included). Due to the impact of the new coronavirus, the restaurant was empty. Although there were red snow crabs available, the appearance was not very appealing. Since I enjoy fried foods, I mainly focused on the fried items. It's tough to justify the price without eating crab. Thank you for the meal.

(Visit in January 2020) Buffet on the 14th floor of Daimaru department store. There are many seats and a variety of dishes including Japanese, Western, and Chinese cuisine. There were chairs lined up for waiting in front of the restaurant, but since it was a weekday afternoon, we were seated immediately. A good point is that the dishes are replenished quickly. Even if you think a dish is running out, it will be fully stocked 10 minutes later. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is comfortable. Also, there is a relatively wide selection of dishes, so there is the enjoyment of choosing. The dishes are plentiful with seafood and meat, providing a satisfying meal. A downside is that there isn't anything particularly delicious (laughs). Overall, the saltiness is strong and the seasoning is simple. The fried foods are soaked in oil, which may be a bit heavy. The quality of the desserts is also so-so. Well, considering the convenient location and the price of around 2,600 yen per adult with unlimited time, it's better not to have high expectations. Also, the child seats are too low and do not match the height of the table. Even a 2-year-old child would have a hard time eating as their chin is at the table level when seated. Since there are many families with children, a little more consideration would be appreciated.

Celebrating the 4600th consecutive day of updates, the all-you-can-eat series continues with "Chisōzanmai" at Daimaru Umeda store in Osaka. Weekday lunch costs 2600 yen with no time limit. The menu includes dishes like bonito, yellowtail, crab fried rice, shrimp and egg in chili sauce, herb and tomato simmered white fish, saikyo-style grilled Spanish mackerel, marinated horse mackerel, roasted chicken with lemon and pepper, egg tofu with sea urchin sauce, beef stew, beef tongue curry, and of course, their famous roast beef. From one-coin dishes to large portions, this place offers a meaty lunch experience. Check out their roast beef bowl and other meaty options in Osaka, Hyogo, and Kyoto. Enjoy hearty meals like roast beef bowls and grilled meat bowls in Osaka, Hyogo, and Kyoto. Explore the classic Western dish "hamburgers" in this foodie journey.

I visited the restaurant right after it opened for lunch. At this time of year, they offer all-you-can-eat crab and unlimited time on weekdays for a great price of 2700 yen including tax! From my research, this may be the cheapest crab all-you-can-eat deal in Osaka! There were plenty of dishes to choose from and I left satisfied. The photo shows just a small portion of the dishes available. There were still many more options. Thank you for the delicious meal.

At the end of the year, I visited this restaurant for a year-end party with my female friends. Located above Daimaru, the atmosphere was quiet and we were able to enjoy our meal in a calm environment. The night view of Umeda was beautiful. Roast beef was served every hour, providing a satisfying meal. The sashimi, including tuna, yellowtail, and salmon, was delicious. The curry, which was a common item in buffets, caught my eye as it was described as beef tongue curry. In the dessert corner, there was a make-your-own monaka station where you could adjust the amount of red bean paste and whipped cream to your liking. I personally enjoyed the oyster gratin and miso pizza with shirasu, and went back for seconds. Overall, the buffet leaned towards Japanese cuisine, with each dish carefully prepared. I tried various buffets before, but this one left me satisfied with the taste. The Standard Plan costs 3,400 yen, and for an additional fee, you can enjoy all-you-can-eat crab. However, I found the Standard Plan to be sufficient.

I gathered at the Daimaru Umeda store "Gozan no Saimai" for a dinner buffet. This is a restaurant I have been to before. I received a paper with instructions and a badge from the tour guide, and took my designated seat in the area reserved for tour participants. It was a bit far to go for refills, but that's expected for a tour group. The event was the Osaka Light Festival 2016 Illumination Cruise & Wall Tapestry, followed by the buffet dinner with around 60 dishes. There were about 40 participants, and the food was constantly replenished as items ran out. The restaurant is located on the 14th floor of Daimaru Umeda store, just a 1-minute walk from JR Osaka Station.

It was my first time trying a Japanese buffet, so I was so excited that I forgot to take photos (^◇^;) The sushi and ramen were delicious, and I ate so much that I felt like my stomach was going to burst. There were regular courses and courses with all-you-can-eat crab, but I'm not a big fan of crab so I went with the regular option. The staff were friendly and casual, and they even taught me about the dishes. It was a fun experience.

I have used this restaurant several times. There are many dishes and the food was delicious. You can also have free refills on soft drinks... It was a fun lunch with friends.

I was excited to go to a buffet, but when I saw the food, it was kind of disappointing. There wasn't much that I wanted to eat, and the food didn't taste very good, so my excitement faded. The sushi was square and the rice was too big, with the toppings not placed properly. The seared bonito was too thin. The sweet shrimp still had shells on, so you had to peel them. The konjac in the oden had no flavor, and the broth was weak. Surprisingly, the miso soup was bad. It seemed like they just added miso to pre-made broth, and the flavor was off. The daikon was hard. The only things I found okay to eat were the small fried chicken, broccoli and whitebait peperoncino, and chawanmushi. I wonder if the staff have tried the food they serve. The quality made me question that. The lunch cost 2,600 yen, and I wasn't expecting much, but I left feeling regretful.

The location and cost performance of this all-you-can-eat buffet may be good. They offer a variety of Japanese, Western, and Chinese dishes, as well as the unique option of DIY pho. However, the sushi selection was limited and the sashimi only included bonito tataki and shrimp, which felt a bit lacking. The staff were friendly, the food was replenished quickly, and empty dishes were promptly cleared. There were many foreign (Asian) customers, and their manners were a bit concerning. Although vinyl gloves were provided, some people chose not to wear them, which was confusing in terms of the restaurant's policy.

I occasionally use it, but it seems like the content has improved since last year and the variety has increased... The taste also seems to have gotten better... This is just my personal impression (laughs).

The restaurant is spacious with a nice atmosphere. I went for the all-you-can-eat crab option and was satisfied with the generous portions and the well-cooked, easy-to-cut texture. Other dishes included roast beef (good), sushi (good), soup curry (average), mapo tofu (bad), cake dessert (average), highball fried rice (good), bonito (good), soft drinks (poor quality, would prefer 100% juice). Overall, the food was delicious with some minor complaints, but the cost-effectiveness was excellent.

I visited on a Sunday evening and found the place not too crowded, even though only half of the area was being used. The staff were all friendly and helpful. The menu mainly consisted of Japanese, Chinese, and some Western dishes. The soft drink bar was included in the price, and I was satisfied with both the variety of dishes and their prices. There was a 2-hour time limit, but it was enough time to enjoy the meal at a leisurely pace.
