Shinmachi, my favorite Italian restaurant, had a Christmas menu featuring dishes with onions, costing around 13,000 yen. The interior was cute and warm as always. I sat at the counter, sipping wine while waiting for my meal. The first dish was a luxurious plate of Kasumi crab, lobster, winter vegetables, Tanguma sudachi, and finger lime. The combination of crab, lobster, winter vegetables, and the tangy aroma of sudachi and finger lime was delightful. The lobster powder enhanced the seafood flavor. Next was abalone with firefly squid and its ink. The tender abalone paired well with the chewy texture of firefly squid and ink. The pasta dish featured hand-cut Tayarin pasta with Hida negi, Kyoto black peak Shamo, and consomme soup. The pasta had a firm texture, and the combination of Shamo meat and negi was elegant. The risotto was a simple dish with French Mont d'Or cheese and Italian Piedmont white truffle. The aroma of white truffle and the creamy cheese made the risotto enjoyable. The main course was Ezo deer with Jerusalem artichoke puree and homemade spice bread. The deer meat was crispy on the outside and tender inside, complemented by the Jerusalem artichoke puree and spice bread. For dessert, there was a semifreddo with Yamagata La France pear, Nagano Masuni Farm Shinano Gold, and red-fleshed apple. The different textures of apple and pear made the dessert delightful. I enjoyed the meal with champagne and various wines made from indigenous grape varieties. Overall, the food was delicious, with each ingredient complementing the others without overpowering them. The cooking was precise, and the flavors were well-balanced, making for a satisfying dining experience.

This is a small restaurant run by a couple. We had the weekend lunch course, and the delicately prepared dishes had a gentle and refined taste. The mackerel mousse in the appetizer was especially amazing. Since it's a small restaurant, it's recommended for solo diners or couples.

I went out for lunch during the Obon holiday. I made a reservation for 12:00 and arrived 10 minutes early. The restaurant was closed, but it opened exactly at 12:00. It was a small place with a cozy atmosphere. There was only one course on the menu for 7,150 yen, including a cassis orange and a glass of wine for the toast. The meal included a buffalo mozzarella and peach tomato salad, Ezoshika terrine, sardine Genovese pasta, and Apoi pork cacciatore. The dessert and drinks were not included in the course. I tried a nutty tiramisu and it was delicious.

Price: 6500 yen Dishes: 1. Seared bonito from Wakayama with grilled eggplant sauce. Mix the sauce with the bonito. 2. Sausage-like dish made with lean meat from red cows in Kochi, served with both Izumi's corn sauce and red wine sauce. 3. Tagliatelle with octopus from Akashi and zucchini in a basil sauce. 4. Main dish featuring high-grade lean red beef called KIB, served with seasonal vegetables and Izumi's corn. The interior of the restaurant is decorated with onions, creating a cozy atmosphere. The service is good, and the food is delicious, although the cost performance may be a bit lacking.

Nice to meet you, [Italian restaurant TAMANEGI]. It's been a while since I went to a course meal restaurant! Celebrated my birthday there^ ^ The meat, fish, and pasta were all delicious. The atmosphere was great and I could enjoy my meal leisurely. I want to come back when the seasons change! After that, I went to 4 bars in Minami, but I ended up falling asleep at the last one...haha.

I went to Tamanegi-san with my wife, a place I had always wanted to visit. We reserved a course meal for around 8000 yen, which included 5 dishes. The dishes were made with various Arabic spices, giving them a unique and enjoyable taste. I personally love spices, so I was very happy. I especially liked the Kasurimeti that accompanied the tuna appetizer. They offered 3 types of wine by the glass, and I couldn't help but indulge a little. The main dish, Akagyu beef thigh meat, was delicious but a bit tough. Well, it's thigh meat so it can't be helped. I would love to go back again.

I love TAMANEGI's Christmas special menu. Starting with the smoked tuna and roasted nut tartare, my favorite flavor was the turtle. It was delicious. The soup was also tasty, and the galette was amazing. The combination of Hokkaido cheese and white truffle in the pasta with tomato sauce was delicious. Finally, the deer in Christmas style was very satisfying.

I knew there was a restaurant but didn't have the opportunity to go until now. I was excited from the day before. The overall seasoning was perfect with a strong flavor. It was my preferred taste. The 4-course meal was 7,500 yen excluding tax, and desserts and drinks were separate. The wine was 6,800 yen excluding tax for a bottle. It was a delicious wine that I would like to keep at home. They explained the dishes, but due to social distancing, they spoke from far away, so I couldn't hear everything. Oh well, it's okay.笑

I went on a one night, two day business trip to Osaka today. For lunch on the first day, I visited a Italian restaurant called "TAMANEGI" that I had been curious about for a while. It is located just a short walk north from Yotsubashi Station on Yotsubashi-suji Street, past the first traffic light and then turning left at the next intersection. The restaurant is on the first floor of a building on the left side. Inside, there are 6-person and 2-person tables, as well as a counter, in a relatively small space. The interior, with its brown tiles, seems to be inspired by the restaurant's name "TAMANEGI." I was seated at the counter, where I could see the kitchen with a female chef and her assistant working. The service was handled by a male waiter. Now, onto the order. There are two lunch options: the regular "A course" and the "B course" which includes a main dish. The main dish options are fish, beef, local chicken, or Ezo deer. I chose the "B course" with beef as the main dish. Here is what I had: - Marinated and seared Wakayama Tsubasu (young yellowtail) "Buri": This dish featured marinated Tsubasu, a young yellowtail known as a "rising fish," seared and served on top of red turnips and spinach with a tangy sauce. The balance of acidity, the richness of the Tsubasu, and the sauce was perfect, making it a flawless appetizer. - Hokkaido Pastured Pork Country-style Pate: Thickly sliced pate made from pastured pork with a slightly wild taste, served with homemade mayonnaise and whole peppercorn sauce. The pickled vegetables on the side added a nice contrast to the richness of the pate. - Camas and Organic Vegetable Peperoncino: This dish featured organic vegetables such as edamame, lotus root, red eggplant, shimeji mushrooms, and celery, along with a mild-flavored Camas fish in a gentle peperoncino sauce. - Hokkaido Pastured Beef Grill: The final main dish was a luxurious and hearty grilled piece of pastured beef with onions and leeks, seasoned simply with salt. The natural sweetness of the vegetables and the chewiness of the pastured beef were delightful. What stood out in all the dishes was the careful selection of ingredients to preserve their flavors, along with delicate attention to detail and solid culinary skills. While I only experienced their lunch menu, I could sense the feminine touch of the female chef. The kitchen also paid attention to details like timing, ensuring a delightful dining experience up to the last espresso. I look forward to visiting for dinner next time. The bill came to 5,500 yen. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

The atmosphere is Western-style with many small windows. First dish: The corn soup with freshly picked corn, raw eggplant, and mozzarella cheese is refreshing and cold. It would be better if the ingredients were chopped smaller. Adding some greens would also be nice. Second dish: The cherry salmon is a bit oily and mushy, but tastes great when eaten with the golden thread squash. It would be nice if the skin of the salmon was crispy with a charcoal flavor. Third dish: The octopus tomato pasta is delicious with chewy noodles and a flat sauce. The juicy octopus adds volume, and the soft zucchini complements it well. Fourth dish: The red beef with edamame and lotus root is flavorful with crispy skin on the meat. The lotus root is sticky and the edamame is fragrant. Fifth dish: The pistachio creme brulee has a fragrant pistachio aroma and a refined taste, making it very delicious.

Onion is a unique Italian restaurant run by a couple, with a stylish and cute name, exterior, and interior. I visited on a Sunday afternoon. The 4-course meal (6600 yen) consisted of: 1. Chilled corn soup with mozzarella cheese and water eggplant. The soup was quite rich and creamy, but it would have been even better if the cheese was more melty. 2. Smoked cherry trout with eggplant puree, gold thread squash, and sun-dried tomatoes. The smoky aroma was nice, but the texture of the fish and the crispness of the skin could have been better. 3. Akashi octopus and zucchini in tomato sauce with chewy fresh pasta. The octopus was tender and the sauce was deliciously flavorful. 4. Roasted red beef thigh with new lotus root. The lean beef was delicious and not too heavy. The lotus root and edamame were also tasty. For dessert and coffee (extra charge), they had a baked panna cotta with caramel sauce that was incredibly delicious, and a simple yet tasty pistachio brulee. The restaurant's ambiance, exterior, food, and service were all excellent. It was a delightful dining experience.

I came to Yotsuhashi because it was listed in the wholesale list of Sakae-ya butcher shop in Shiga. It is also one of the top 100 Italian restaurants. They offer a choice of three main dishes, but I opted for my favorite grilled swordfish with herbs and some meat as well. Each dish was decent, but the Hokkaido meat from Sakae-ya made my jaw tired.

Located a 5-7 minute walk from Nishiohashi Station, TAMANEGI is an Italian restaurant known for its popular omakase Italian cuisine that highlights the day's fresh ingredients. It was selected as one of the top 100 Italian restaurants in 2021 by Italian West. Unfortunately, it was difficult to understand what the staff in the dining area were saying, making it hard to grasp the menu and ingredients, but the woman cooking was warm and welcoming. We ordered the popular 4-dish course menu, which includes two appetizers, pasta, and a main course. While it doesn't come with coffee or dessert, it is reasonably priced at around 7,000 yen, allowing you to enjoy Italian cuisine with a focus on quality ingredients. The standout dish was the perfectly seasoned Amatriciana made with pancetta, offering a delicious blend of cheese richness and onion sweetness. If you're looking for a homely Italian dining experience near Nishiohashi, be sure to give it a try. Thank you for the meal!

After watching a play, we visited TAMANEGI for the first time! We started late, so we were the only customers! They only offer omakase courses, with two options available. The course includes appetizers, onion gratin, pasta, grilled duck, and bread for 6600 yen (excluding tax). Coffee and dessert are not included in the price. The total cost, including beer or wine, is 10500 yen. It's a bit on the pricey side! The onion in the gratin and pasta was sweet and delicious, but it didn't feel particularly special.

Today's Italian restaurant TAMANEGI! This is my second visit! Due to the pandemic, I opted for the non-alcoholic lunch course. I was surprised that a small regular glass of oolong tea cost 660 yen. The octopus and summer vegetable marinade was delicious with a perfect balance of saltiness and acidity. The eel Genovese pasta had a great flavor despite the small portion. The main dish was meat with corn. For dessert, I had coffee. The dishes had small portions and fewer items, and the prices were slightly high. They only accept cash. This was my first time experiencing this price range! The chef was a woman, and the service was provided by a man. The food had a feminine touch and was delicious. However, the service was lacking in friendliness as the staff wore masks and spoke quickly, making it hard to understand. Thank you for the meal!

I visited for dinner and enjoyed a high-quality meal from appetizers to dessert. The appetizer, fish dish, two pasta dishes, and main course, plus dessert, were just the right amount for women. The interior design was excellent, creating a nice atmosphere to enjoy delicious food. The service was attentive without being overbearing. I look forward to visiting again when they resume normal business operations. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

I made a reservation and visited the restaurant on a Saturday night. The course meal was predetermined. The meat dishes, in particular, were delicious, and I was impressed by how tasty everything was. The restaurant was clean, the presentation was beautiful, and I enjoyed the meal in a very nice atmosphere. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Italian restaurant tamanegi, located in Shinsaibashi, is one of the top 100 Italian restaurants in Japan. They offer a 4-course meal (2 appetizers, pasta, main dish) for 5,500 yen, which is a great value considering they are a Michelin Bib Gourmand restaurant. The lunch menu changes frequently, with 9 appetizers, 9 pasta dishes, and 8 main dishes to choose from. The food was delicious, although for some reason, photography of the menu was not allowed. While the 4-course meal may leave you slightly less satisfied, the quality and portion sizes of the meat and pasta dishes make up for it. Overall, it was a good experience.

An emergency declaration was in place, but I had made a reservation in advance and wanted to do my part by coming in earlier. I appreciated the variety of courses available, as well as the option to choose desserts and post-meal drinks, including whether I wanted them or not. It was my first time experiencing this and I thought it was great. The restaurant is run by a couple (the wife is the chef and the husband serves), and their closeness was reflected in the atmosphere of the place. The delicious food, the ambiance, and the kindness of the couple made me want to visit again. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

I had a day off during the week, so I made a reservation to enjoy a slightly luxurious lunch. The area had many trendy private restaurants. It was a weekday afternoon, but it was fully booked with reservations. I had a course with appetizers, pasta, and soup. Each dish had a rich flavor of the ingredients and was wonderful.

Delicious and stylish Italian restaurant "Tamaneji" has a name that includes onions, but there were no onions in the dishes this time. The menu is selected in courses of 3, 4, or 5 options. This time we chose the 5-course option, which included two appetizers, a salad, two pasta dishes, and a main dish. I have a wide variety of preferences, but I particularly enjoy the squid ink Genovese pasta. The beef dish was average. I will definitely visit again.
