Kitashinchi Koryu — Restaurant in Osaka

If you understand food, then you'll love this 3 Michelin star Keiseki restaurant. The dishes blew my mind. Everything was beautifully plated in an unpresumptuous way. The dish that took me aback was the baby eel dish.

Also it was also really cool to see how humble the chef was. You could truly see how much his staff love working with him. This is a must see restaurant in Osaka.
