Rokkakutei — Restaurant in Osaka

We walked into Rokkakutei without a reservation, but the staff handled it perfectly! We sat down at our table, and were informed that there was no menu, but a set service. They also asked if anyone had allergies, which is super rare in Japan that I've seen, I carry a card on me in hiragana/katakana stating I'm allergic to shellfish. They started the meal with a mix of vegetables, then started into the skewers. We were REALLY surprised at 2 of the servings. Fugu as well as the chicken breast with caviar topping. Every skewer was served piping hot, and when they were set down, the end of the skewer was pointed in the direction of the dip it tastes best with.

Even though we travelled with a set budget for meals on this trip, we have no regrets with eating here!

Also a shout out to Chef Oishii, who when asked in Japanese what each item was called in Japanese, he never hesitated!

If you have around $120 CDN per person in your food budget, I would highly...

It is a good experience to try the kushiage in Osaka. We came to the kuromon honten. this is a decent one michelin restaurant with a feeling more like a izakaya. Many people were tipsy and service was not too notched but still ok. You can eat till filled and they will charge you based on what you ate. Unfortunately, you cannot choose what you want to eat so everything is up to your chef. Truly an omakase. It's good if you are around but not worth a special trip to if you...

This place is simply amazing. It's small shop with a dozen seats at the table and 3 or 4 side tables. I had some reservations about it being a fried food on sticks place. However, they are masters of their craft. The standouts were the whitebait, scallops (really amazing), the shrimp, the prawn fish, shitake, chicken, salmon and the mushy peas - on a stick! And there's a big bowl of delicious salad....
