Japanese set meal restaurant KAWASAKI — Restaurant in Osaka

I found this place through a friend’s recommendation, and it truly did not disappoint. After spending nearly a week in Japan enjoying the usual katsudon, beef, and chicken dishes, I was craving something lighter—seafood or vegetables—and this spot hit the mark perfectly.

From the moment I walked in, the ambiance was calming and cozy, and the staff greeted me with such warmth.

The atmosphere only added to that effect, with the cozy vibe inside and the family-like dynamic between the staff, all just making me more excited for my next visit! (Also they have a daily set that changes everyday, so there’s that to look...
