Tucked away in the quiet charm of Amanohashidate, 310 was an unexpected highlight of our trip. We managed to secure a table for the same evening simply by dropping in just 10 minutes before their 6:00 PM opening — a lucky stroke that set the tone for a memorable night.
The meal began with a beautifully presented amuse-bouche: fried eggplant topped with miso alongside a small bite of minced pork — simple yet full of depth. Next came a duo of handmade dim sum — duck and squid — delicate and silky in texture. While masterfully crafted, I found myself wishing for a touch of acidity to brighten the flavors and offer that familiar balance so often found in Asian cuisine.
We continued with steamed seasonal vegetables, paired with a savory and well-balanced bagna cauda, followed by a flavorful pork rillette served with freshly baked house bread — rich, rustic, and immensely satisfying.
The finale? Japanese BBQ pork ribs that were fall-off-the-bone tender, glazed with a sauce that struck just the right chord between smoky and sweet.
What truly left a lasting impression, though, was the restaurant's atmosphere — minimalist, warm, and quietly elegant. It's rare to find such attention to detail and culinary ambition in such a secluded area. The couple behind this venture clearly has both passion and talent; I look forward to seeing how they grow in the years to come.
Bravo — and keep going. P.S. The ceramicware, all handmade by a small Kyoto artisan, added a beautiful and thoughtful...
Read more310 is a hidden gem, owned and operated by a talented chef and her husband. The care and passion they put into the food and atmosphere truly shine through. While the restaurant did get a little busy for a staff of two, the service remained warm and attentive, and it added to the cozy, personal feel of the place.
The food was excellent across the board—I tried a wide variety of dishes and loved every one. Highlights included the seasonal vegetables salad, homemade pickles, potato salad, and the namul avocado with salted kelp, all bursting with freshness and flavor. The fried spring rolls with shrimp and blue cheese were unique and delicious, while the steamed vegetables with heshiko bagna cauda showcased a creative twist.
Other standouts were the shumai, perfectly crispy fried chicken wings, and the comforting deep-fried tofu in dashi soup. The kakuni was rich and tender, and the grilled fish rounded out the meal beautifully.
Overall, 310 delivers a truly memorable dining experience. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a thoughtful, chef-driven...
Read moreWe stumbled upon this cozy gem during our Amanohashidate visit while on an Osaka trip, and ended up dining here thanks to our evening train schedule. The restaurant opens at 6pm, and we were their first customer—partly because we were a bit nervous about catching our 7:05pm train. The menu mentioned that food takes at least 30 minutes to prepare, but we decided to try our luck.
To our surprise and relief, all our dishes were served right on time, and we made it to the station without rushing. Most importantly—the food was absolutely worth it. We had the assorted sashimi, steamed fish with sake and garlic, and grilled pork spareribs with Japanese BBQ sauce. Every ingredient was fresh, and the seasoning was perfectly balanced.
You can truly taste the heart and soul in every dish—simple ingredients, cooked with sincerity and skill. If I ever come back to Amanohashidate, I’ll definitely return to...
