At Nakamura, located in Nishi-Shinsaibashi, you can enjoy a variety of dishes a la carte instead of a set course menu. The restaurant is known for its creative cuisine that combines Japanese and Western techniques with a free-spirited approach. The owner, Mr. Nakamura, has a background in French cuisine and has been running the restaurant for about 20 years. The menu features a mix of Japanese and Western dishes, with each dish beautifully presented and delicious. The atmosphere is relaxed and the counter seats are popular, but we opted for a quiet private room on the second floor. We enjoyed a variety of dishes such as sashimi platter, bisque soup, seafood curry, and seafood pilaf, all of which were superb. The restaurant offers a unique dining experience where you can choose dishes based on your mood, making it a great place to enjoy a leisurely meal with friends.

Today, I visited a restaurant in a quiet alley behind the Korean Consulate in Namba to celebrate my junior colleague's birthday, after more than 3 years since my last visit. I love this place for its atmosphere and location. I made a reservation for a course meal to enjoy a leisurely evening. We started with plum wine soda and beer to toast to the birthday boy. As we chatted, the sashimi arrived on the table. The squid sashimi was chewy and had a nice texture, while the striped jack, horse mackerel, and bonito were all beautifully presented and delicious. The sweet shrimp soup was rich and flavorful. The simmered dishes of conger eel and mountain yam, and simmered octopus and burdock were simple yet tasty. The medium rare grilled wagyu beef with different textures was a highlight, and the seafood curry towards the end was a delightful dish. Overall, we enjoyed over 10 dishes including dessert. The taste, service, and atmosphere were all top-notch. We had a very satisfying night and look forward to our next visit. We disappeared into the night of Minami with happy hearts.

Before the pandemic, I used to visit this restaurant regularly, but it had been about 3 years since my last visit. The chef's skills are still top-notch, and everything I ate was delicious and enjoyable. Especially, the bonito from Fukui prefecture was firm and excellent. I would like to increase my visits to this restaurant again.

Today, I had a business dinner with 7 people. We were seated in a private room on the second floor and the banquet began. We started with shrimp and eggplant, followed by conger eel and corn tempura, then eel and bisque with cream. Everything was delicious! We also had a sashimi platter and a soup dish, which were beautifully presented. The grilled fish with scales and a bite-sized fillet cutlet were also very tasty. The combination of Japanese and Western flavors was done wonderfully. The quality of the food for the price was impressive. I will definitely visit this restaurant again. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

I made a reservation and visited Nakamura-san for the first time in a while, as things have calmed down a bit with the coronavirus. I think it's essential to make a reservation, as seats are hard to come by. We toasted with a creamy draft beer. They provide cloth napkins for women, which had a cute carp streamer design. The assorted sashimi was excellent today, especially the shellfish. The grilled cherry trout with miso paste was thick and flavorful, with a perfect balance of fat and seasoning. The shrimp bisque, which I always order, is highly recommended. The fried white shrimp still had a sweet taste even after being fried, making it a great snack. While I usually order the beef cutlet, today I tried the Yamagata beef sirloin with summer truffle, which was also delicious. The seafood curry was packed with luxurious ingredients like abalone and shrimp, with a creamy coconut milk base. I ended the meal with dessert and buckwheat tea, feeling completely satisfied. This is one of my favorite restaurants, and I had a great time at Nakamura-san after a long time. Thank you for the meal!

I visited for the first time. It was located deep in the alleys of Minami. It's a lovely little shop with only a counter, but everything was delicious and beautifully presented! I was impressed by the elaborate craftsmanship. It was a perfect find after a long time. I would like to come back to try more dishes next time. Thank you for the wonderful meal! (^人^)

It was a long time since I had a meal at Nakamura (^^) It seems like they were closed during the state of emergency, so this was my first time eating at Nakamura this year (^^) We toasted with a glass of draft beer (^^) They always serve beautifully arranged and cute appetizers. Today's dishes were delicious as usual. I love the sashimi assortment, and I also requested some sea urchin and white shrimp which added to the sweetness. The sashimi was full of flavor. The fried white shrimp was also delicious. I couldn't stop eating, it was so tasty. The simmered octopus was tender and excellent. And the reliable beef cutlet was also ordered and it was incredibly delicious. It's not Japanese cuisine, but I always feel like eating it. Today was Ushi no Hi (Day of the Ox), so they also made an eel rice bowl which I devoured. The thick and large eel had a lot of fat, but it was so big that it was hard to eat. What a luxurious time it was. I also requested Akadashi soup with vegetables. It's a dish I rarely have these days, but the chewy texture and the harmony with the dashi made it possible for me to eat it. The dessert was also delightfully delicious as always (^^) With the decrease in outings due to the pandemic, it was a moment of happiness. The chef and the staff at the restaurant are always dignified and provide kind service. It is a restaurant worthy of being a renowned establishment in Osaka. I will do my best at work, learning from them (^^) Thank you as always for the wonderful meal (^^) I would love to visit again once the state of emergency is lifted.

First of all, let me say that this restaurant has been my favorite since I first visited it about 15 years ago. I have been here several times since then, but this time I went with a friend after a long time. We visited in mid-March, and even in these times, it is not easy to dine without a reservation. So, we made a reservation in advance. Even with a reservation a few days before, we couldn't sit at the counter on the first floor, so we ended up dining in a private room on the second floor. The restaurant is located a little west of the Midosuji Mitsutera intersection, down a small alley. The first time I visited, I was somewhat surprised by the fact that there was a restaurant back there, but it was an interesting experience. Further back, there is also the renowned French restaurant Le Clos. We arrived a bit early for our reservation, but we were warmly welcomed and escorted to the second-floor private room. The counter seats on the first floor have been renovated a while ago, creating a spacious and comfortable seating area. My favorite thing about this restaurant, besides the food of course, is being able to watch the chefs cooking at the back of the counter while dining. The energy, liveliness, and conversations with the chefs, that's what I love. This time, we had a private room. But you know, the private room was also lovely. A spacious tatami room that can accommodate up to 8 people. We were led to the room in the front, but there was another room in the back. Here, I reunited with the handwritten menu after a long time. The first time, I was a bit nervous about the menu without prices listed. Not knowing how much things cost can be tough for ordinary people. But as long as you don't keep ordering high-end ingredients, it doesn't exceed a certain limit. The menu includes not only seasonal high-end ingredients but also dishes like nikujaga and curry, which are favorites of the common people. Based on my experience, dining normally, drinking alcohol, it would cost around 10,000 to a little over (per person). First, we ordered draft beer. While waiting for it, we looked at the menu. The beer here is served in a large glass, which makes drinking beer feel like a delicate experience due to the thin glass. And then the appetizers arrived. In a red dish, there was white miso mixed with white sesame. I also found fiddleheads in it. The addition of miso to the white sesame added richness and flavor to the mild white sesame, increasing our expectations for the upcoming dishes. Next, we picked items from the menu. First, a sashimi platter. Unfortunately, there are some ingredients I don't like, so I checked the contents of the platter and asked for a substitute for the ones I didn't like. The platter included madai, katsura, ika, shiroebi with uni yukke-style. Bone senbei was also served. The taste was excellent, especially the rich sweetness of the shiroebi and uni, enhanced by the flavor of the yukke. Next, we had the shrimp, mango, avocado, and tomato mayonnaise salad, which I always order since my first visit. The appearance seemed slightly different from before, but the light mayonnaise sauce perfectly brought together each ingredient. Then we had renkon manju and shrimp with raw seaweed filling, pork kakuni and daikon manju, and crab cream croquette. In between, we also had sake, and for the finale, we had seafood curry. Every dish we tried was outstanding, with top-notch ingredients and skillful craftsmanship making each dish exquisite. The seafood curry, in particular, had large abalone pieces that I wanted to eat endlessly. And of course, the customary dessert. It always comes with the meal. It helps to reset your palate after the previous dishes and leaves you with the lingering flavors. The total bill for the day was 20,000 yen for two people.

It was perfect for a birthday party with friends. I would definitely want to use it when I have someone special. Although the counter was full, we used a private room, and the young staff members were friendly and explained the dishes well. The food was delicious. Next time, I would like to visit the counter.

At the year-end, despite the mood of refraining from going out, we decided to have a small year-end party and of course, we wanted to eat Nakamura's dishes. We made a reservation at the restaurant and as always, the atmosphere was cozy. We toasted with draft beer and enjoyed a sashimi platter with beautifully decorated flowers. The dishes were consistently delicious, including the sweet Kansai-style namero, the luxurious seko-gani crab and sea urchin bowl. Instead of the usual beef cutlet, we tried the duck meat this time, and it was incredibly flavorful with a rich sauce. We always leave satisfied with the consistently delicious food. Thank you for the feast.

This is a place I've always wanted to go to, as it's close to both my home and work. The atmosphere is nice with just a counter on the first floor, making it feel welcoming and not too formal. I ordered a variety of dishes including sashimi, kawahagi liver, fig tempura, lotus root manju with crab, avocado, mango, shrimp salad with mayonnaise sauce, nikujaga (beef and potato stew), beef cutlet, seafood curry, and a fruit and milk agar jelly dessert with white grape sauce. I also had oolong tea and ginger ale. The total came to 19,800 yen. The portion sizes can be adjusted, which is great, but the menu doesn't have prices listed, which is a bit intimidating. The food was delicious and I liked that I could choose between Japanese and Western dishes to create my own course.

Today, I enjoyed a leisurely meal for the first time in a private room on the second floor. The restaurant had reduced the number of seats at the counter to maintain social distance. Before entering the restaurant, I underwent temperature checks and alcohol disinfection. The entrance was slightly open and the windows were also slightly open. It was a thorough safety measure. I felt safe and comfortable in the private room as I toasted with a cold beer. The assorted sashimi was as delicious as ever. The squid and sea urchin mixed with sesame oil in a yukke-style dish was irresistibly delicious. The spring rolls with small sweetfish were also incredibly tasty. No matter what I order, Mr. Nakamura's dishes are always delicious. Since I will likely have to go back to a period of self-restraint due to the coronavirus, I felt happy to savor these dishes. When the situation improves, I would love to come back and enjoy the food again. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

Today's reservation was at 8:00 PM and it seemed crowded, so we visited at that time. It was exciting to visit Nakamura-san after a long time. Cheers with a highball! We ordered dishes a la carte. They were all delicate and very delicious, and the sake and wine were also great. Although it's Japanese cuisine, there are also Western dishes on the menu, and they are also very tasty. They have original wines here, and the label has a caricature drawn by the owner's daughter. For dessert, be sure to try the delicious curry. From start to finish, it was a fun conversation and delicious food with great drinks! It was a very satisfying time. Thank you for the delicious meal!

Nakamura's reservation was secured. It's a restaurant that requires reservations. Excited for the spring menu, I entered the alley and arrived at the restaurant. The open kitchen atmosphere was relaxing. Today, there were plenty of dishes from spring ingredients to classic items. We toasted with draft beer. The appetizer with cherry blossoms was not only cute but also fantastic! Today, I had kelp-marinated golden eye snapper, sashimi of firefly squid, and a delicious beef tongue steak. The beef tongue was tender and flavorful, with a sweet taste that paired well with grated radish and garlic. The side dishes like carrot glaze and young corn were also excellent. I also tried the lettuce fried rice, which was light and flavorful. The miso soup with clams was a perfect match. The dessert was also well done, and the buckwheat tea served with it was a nice touch. Every time I visit this place, I am impressed and never get tired of it. I think it's a fantastic restaurant specializing in Osaka-style cuisine. Watching the chef and staff work is mesmerizing, and the experience satisfies all the senses. It was a wonderful meal.

I was looking forward to the New Year's party at Nakamura (^^) I arrived with an empty stomach and in good health. Cheers with a draft beer (^^)/■(^^)/□ We ordered a sashimi platter and it was all of high quality. Look at the photo. The giant shirako soy sauce grilled dish was amazing, it just melted in my mouth. It's not something you see every day. I was also impressed by the turnips and karasumi.

I was able to make a reservation at this restaurant (o^^o) I'm so happy (o^^o) I'm looking forward to another delicious meal today! When you enter the alley, it feels like stepping into a Showa-era Osaka-style traditional restaurant. Well, it's so beautiful that it could also be a Heisei-era traditional restaurant. Cheers with a draft beer (o^^o) The thin glass enhances the creamy foam. The assorted sashimi was excellent, especially after requesting some of my favorites and leaving the rest to the chef for a wonderful selection. The conger eel was really delicious, Kansai people love it so much. The sea urchin and squid were delicate and sweet, melting in the mouth! The minced bonito was slightly sweet but delicious. The simmered whole kue was so tender that I probably received a huge amount of collagen for my skin. The chef said he added some good things to it. Thank you very much! It's quite a relief for my skin damaged by the summer sun. It was so delicious that I couldn't help but smile. Switched to highball and wine, which was a good choice. The wine is highly recommended here. Today, I decided to try the beef cutlet. It's one of the signature dishes often served in the course menu, so I had been checking it out. Despite being a Japanese restaurant, it surpasses bistros. The wonderful sweetness of the meat, perfectly cooked with a superb sauce. Please do try it! Today, I also had the ikura and sea urchin rice bowl, it was so satisfying and luxurious (^^) And today's dessert was a high-quality gelato with Belgian chocolate and a fruit cake, their combination was perfect, and the fruits were also delightful. As always, I had a great time at Nakamura and it was a truly happy moment today. Thank you for the wonderful meal (^^)

Located in a narrow alley just off Midosuji Mitsudera-cho towards Umeda, this restaurant is a favorite spot of mine. While their omakase course is great, I personally prefer ordering a la carte at "Washoku Yuzen Nakamura". As the name suggests, they offer a variety of dishes using seasonal ingredients from both Japanese and Western cuisines. From high-end dishes to izakaya-style menus, everything here is incredibly delicious! It's a perfect place for business dinners as the guests are always impressed. Among the dishes I tried that day, the crab cream croquette and sea urchin and salmon roe rice bowl were particularly outstanding. Highly recommended.

I recently received a recommendation from a friend for a new restaurant, so I made a reservation right away. However, when I arrived, the restaurant was already fully booked. I made another reservation in advance. The restaurant is located in a narrow street right behind the Korean Consulate in Shinsaibashi, so it's easy to find. The atmosphere inside was lively and the staff were welcoming. We ordered drinks and eagerly awaited our food. The dishes included appetizers, fried shrimp wrapped in bread, fried beef cutlet, curry rice with seafood soup, and more. The use of shrimp in various dishes was interesting. The presentation of the dishes was unique, with the sashimi already seared and placed on a cutting board that came out of the refrigerator. Despite some unusual aspects, the overall experience was satisfying. I would like to visit again if given the chance.

Each dish is carefully crafted and delicious.

The sashimi, natural sweetfish, and salad are all delicious, but the curry is exceptional. A must-try.

Of course, the atmosphere is great, the food is delicious, and the staff is excellent. Perfect for business entertaining, you won't be embarrassed.
