Yoshikawa Tempura — Restaurant in Osaka

This restaurant offered a marvelous dinning experience for us on our visit to Osaka.

There are two tempura meal sets for dinner.

We ordered the small size set with 6 kinds of tempura at beginning as we weren't sure how big the portion was. It turned out the tempura was so yummy and each of us added more orders on top of the meal sets - 1 whole sea eel tempura, 2 shrimps, 2 lotus roots, 1 squid with red roe and basil roll, 1 tempura rice bowl.

All tasted amazing and we were so satisfied at the end of the dinner.

Also the owner was so friendly and helped us order our food with her recommendations. I didn't drink alcohol much but the beer she recommended was fantastic and I really enjoyed it with the food. They also have very good selection of sake to accompany the meals.

The owner also taught us how to eat tempura and the experience was quite different from what I had in Canada. I really appreciate the owner spending time and efforts to help us enjoy the authentic Japanese way of eating tempura.

At this restaurant, I really felt the Shokunin Spirit of Japan and would definitely come back next time I visit Osaka. We highly recommend this restaurant if you want to have great...

A must-do experience when in Osaka! We went there after doing a few researches on Google and we couldn't be happier to have chosen this restaurant. At first, I admit we had a bit of trouble in finding it. It is in Semba Center Building, close to Hommachi st. We walked by many Izakaya/Happy hours places until we found the restaurant (if it is of any help, you need to go downstairs and it is close to the women's toilet). The environment here was completely different of those in the izakaya. Jazz music on the background, one waitress and one chef.

Tempura are made on the spot,m and they make sure timing is perfect (they won't serve you the next round until you are finished with your previous dish).

Tempuras were phenomenal, and I recommend to get the squid with the shiso leaf (they have translated into Japanese basil). I have never tasted such a tender squid in my life before (really).

10 out of 5 star for their amazing tempura, environment, service...

Dinner here was a highlight of my two-week trip to Japan. The restaurant itself is beautiful with everything carefully selected and neatly arranged, providing a calming atmosphere. The food was perfect, fresh ingredients, meticulously prepared and artfully presented. The people are very nice and friendly. I had been away from Japan for 37 years and this restaurant reminded me of everything that I love the most about Japan and her people. I hope to...
