Umenohana Honmachi — Restaurant in Osaka

It's on the 21st floor.

I love tofu. The night before I went here I was at the grocery store buying cold tofu dessert.

For me, this meal was awful. It was just 15 courses of very plain tofu, no veg, no fruit, barely any variation in flavor, just some variation in wetness/texture. Japanese food is wonderful at variety and presentation and both were lacking here. Beige plate after beige plate.

shame i didnt take more photos as the presentation of each meal...
