Recommended by a friend who works at a gourmet restaurant, I visited this place. Each dish is elegantly prepared and has a rich flavor. They use various spices and seasonings, balancing them well with the ingredients. The food pairs nicely with alcohol. The owner seems rather quiet and handles everything alone, so I recommend going on a day when you can take your time.

West Temma. I had been curious about the Spanish restaurant, Duca, for a while, so I had dinner there. The atmosphere from the entrance was like being in Spain. The interior was mainly counter seating with only one table. Reservations are recommended, and courses are the norm. I ordered a course around 6000 yen with modest portion sizes. The meal included a gelato with a combination of snap peas and fava beans, firefly squid, white asparagus, and octopus in squid ink sauce. The bitterness of the burdock sauce added a nice touch. The squid soaked in squid ink sauce was full of flavor. There was also chopped pasta with octopus and tomato sauce, risotto, grilled Japanese beef, and dessert. The quality of the Spanish cuisine was very high. There is also a sister restaurant nearby that serves soba and tapas, which I am curious about.

In February 2023, I had a reservation at "DuKKAh" in Nishi-Temma starting at 6:30 PM. It is a restaurant known for its Northern Spanish cuisine, and I was looking forward to it. I have only been to the Basque region before, but I would love to travel leisurely from Cantabria to Galicia. I sometimes pass by DuKKAh on my bike, but I never noticed what a nice atmosphere it has until now. We sat at the counter and toasted with Txakoli wine. We opted for the "menú morado" course, which includes dishes such as eel and razor clam soup, pintxos, squid ink fideuà, stuffed pork intestines, duck rice, and more. The food was delicious, and the wine selection was great. The eel and razor clam soup was particularly gentle and flavorful, and I really enjoyed it. The Fideuà was also a favorite of mine. The service was excellent, even though they were short-staffed. Overall, it was a satisfying dinner experience. They have a sister restaurant nearby where you can enjoy both soba noodles and Spanish cuisine, so I look forward to visiting there soon. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

You can enjoy dishes that are not flashy but very carefully prepared with attention to detail. The service is slow-paced as it is run by a single person. The dishes are small in portion but made with great care using seasonal ingredients, offering a deeply satisfying and delicious experience. There is a selection of unique and high-quality alcohol options to enjoy as well.

Introducing a reviewer who hunted deer and wild boar on their first visit. They had Spanish cuisine for several days in a row and made a reservation by phone the day before. Although this restaurant was their first choice, it turned out to be a good decision to visit later. This establishment has won the Bib Gourmand award for two consecutive years in 2020-21. It is located about a 10-minute walk from 6 different train stations, but due to circumstances, they arrived by car and parked at a nearby coin parking lot for 300 yen every 20 minutes. They entered the restaurant at 11:35 AM with no other customers. The entrance is narrow and a bit hard to find. Inside, there is a straight counter with 6 seats and 4 tables, all managed by the male owner chef alone. The reviewer loves this kind of setup. For lunch, they chose the 4000 yen option. The dishes they had included turnip soup with Iberico pork, octopus Fideuà (pasta paella), roasted Kagoshima pork with white bean Faba, red king crab Arroz Caldoso (risotto), and apple cheesecake with star anise ice cream and rum-based sauce, served with Japanese black tea. Their impressions were that each dish was of high quality and it was hard to pick a favorite. The way the seafood broth was used in dishes #2 and #4, as well as the use of sour cream, was impressive. Even though there were no decorations, the colors and presentation were well done. The plating may resemble the dishes of modern Spanish cuisine like "Sriola" and "Enye". The chef is only 32 years old and has no experience of training abroad or at famous domestic restaurants, so their talent is remarkable. They may be a rising star to look out for. They left the restaurant at 1:30 PM, being the only customers throughout. The bill came to a little over 5000 yen, including a bottle of Perrier.

Until now, I haven't really been in the mood to sit down and have a meal at a cafe or have a drink, but maybe GO TO EAT has been a good opportunity for that? So, we decided to go out and ended up at a Spanish restaurant in Nishi-Temma called Duca. We booked a course for ¥8,800 through Ikyu. The menu included burdock and Jamon Serrano soup, sea bream ceviche, duck, Marmitako (a regional dish using tuna), beef from Keisan, crab arros, Gâteau Basque, and tea. Honestly, my first impression is that maybe it would have been better to go for lunch first. I had been planning to go for lunch at this place for a while. There were more reviews for lunch, and if the content is similar to the ¥3,000 lunch, I would have been completely satisfied. However, having dinner with a friend after a long time, I was hoping for something more elegant, not just in appearance but in flavor as well. The chef has experience in French cuisine, so I was expecting a modern Spanish touch, but it didn't really feel that way. It leaned more towards indigenous cuisine. It's fine, but compared to menu examples like anchovy pinchos, sea urchin, and Basque-style squid ink stew that I was looking forward to, the lineup was not as exciting. The duck and Keisan beef didn't need to be paired together, as the cooking methods were not that different. The sauces were not too heavy, focusing on the natural flavors of the ingredients. The name Duca refers to mixed spices, but I felt like they could use a stronger accent. The standout dishes were the arros and the butter with aosa served with bread. The ceviche sauce was also delicious. The restaurant is small with limited depth, which is why it seems more suitable for a solo lunch. The chef wasn't unfriendly, but it was a bit difficult to chat with him at the counter, especially in these times when we need to be cautious.

"Duka" in Nishitenma is a Spanish restaurant that recently became my favorite. I have visited several times but this is my first review. It is a small restaurant with a counter and a table, and the lunch is handled by a young chef alone. The 2,500 yen lunch course includes: - Appetizer: Butternut squash and red hair melon soup. The cold soup with butternut squash had marinated red hair melon inside. It was refreshing and not overly sweet, perfect for summer. I also liked the edible flower topping. - Baguette with blue algae fermented butter. - Fish dish: Grilled sea bream. The grilling was done perfectly and the presentation was beautiful. - Meat dish: Moroccan-style chicken stew. Despite being a Spanish restaurant, the Moroccan-style stewed chicken was tender and delicious. The summer vegetables and beans were also tasty. - Dessert: Crema Catalana. The half-frozen crème brûlée had a texture like ice cream. The caramel sauce balanced the sweetness of the cream, making it a sophisticated dessert. - After-meal drink: Organic Japanese red tea. Due to the chef being busy, Japanese red tea was the only option. I wish they had coffee, but the tea was still good. Overall, the restaurant offers simple cooking that allows you to enjoy the natural flavors of seasonal fish and vegetables. While there may not be anything groundbreaking, the dishes are delicious enough to make you want to come back regularly. You can also order a la carte during lunch. I would like to try their dinner menu as well.

Visited on: 11/14/2019 for dinner Ordered: 7000 yen course, 2 glasses of Amber Today's cuisine was Spanish. I sat at the counter alone, enjoying a leisurely meal. The Six-White-Black pork was delicious, but the bonito was slightly fishy and the Saroma oysters were burnt. Perhaps due to being short-staffed, there were times when dishwashing interrupted the cooking process, which didn't create a pleasant atmosphere. The service was also slow. Thank you for the meal.

The restaurant is run by a single chef, offering both a la carte and course menus. The seating is quite spacious, with a slight stickiness that was a bit of a concern. I ordered the basic course which was on the cheaper side, and it turned out to be surprisingly delicious. The quality for this price is really good! The service is slow, so it's best to allow plenty of time. It might be better to share a la carte dishes with a few people while enjoying wine.

This is a blog post from a food blog in Osaka and Nara, reviewing a restaurant called DuKKAh in Minamimorimachi, Osaka. The restaurant offers modern Spanish cuisine and has been steadily gaining popularity. The interior is small with only 12 seats, including a live kitchen counter. The lunch menu offers two courses priced at 2,500 yen and 3,980 yen, with additional a la carte options. The reviewer tried the 2,500 yen course and found the dishes to be beautifully presented and delicious, showcasing the quality of the ingredients. The service was efficient due to being run by a single chef, but the reviewer noted some lack of interaction with customers. Overall, the reviewer enjoyed the stylish and cool atmosphere of the restaurant and would like to return to try the a la carte menu with wine next time. The overall rating for the restaurant was 4 stars out of 5.

I visited for lunch. The gazpacho was refreshing and delicious. The fideuà had plenty of octopus and I was surprised by how tender it was. The portion size was also satisfying.

I was impressed by the profound knowledge of the shop owner and was moved while listening to their stories. The dishes also left a strong impression on me. I thoroughly enjoyed the dessert as well! I would love to visit this restaurant again.

When I walked into the restaurant, I immediately felt calm. The place was spotless, with no dust in sight. The food was different from any Spanish cuisine I've had before, but I couldn't quite pinpoint how. I think I might be getting hooked. I'll have to try their dinner menu next time.

The food, including the master's talk, was all delicious ^_^

The food was fantastic, and the wine they served with it was probably really good too! However, for a first-time visitor like me, this restaurant and its online reservation system didn't seem to be a good match. But once we got past the initial confusion, it was great!笑

A la carte. Marinated sardines, chilled octopus, sautéed whelk, beef, paella, etc. I really like seafood. It's not too extravagant in terms of visuals, more like Modern Spanish. Simple and delicious. Around 10,000 yen per person for drinks. If eating is the main focus, the set menu seems like a good choice. Dry service would be a good match.

I was dining alone, so the service was quiet and not very friendly. The taste of the food was okay, not bad.

I discovered a recently opened Italian restaurant near my workplace with a stylish exterior that would especially appeal to women. Upon entering, I was greeted by a handsome chef and staff, and the atmosphere was very cozy. I ordered the 5,500 yen course meal, and each dish was filled with the chef's dedication. I couldn't help but ask, "How do you make this?" because the items were so intriguing. The wine was also delicious! It's the kind of place that makes you want to introduce it to your friends.
