MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View
The sounds of erhu and yueqin playing in the background, together with the decorations, create the feeling of actually being in China. The focus is on dim sum and Chinese tea. You can try familiar items like xiaolongbao and daikon cake to creative dishes like grilled gyoza dumplings with Chinese chives and dougan, and steamed mapo dumplings. Enjoy the meal with a selection of Chinese teas that differ in flavour depending on the degree of fermentation.

Chugokusai SHIN-PEI
- 1-1-18 Utsubohommachi, Nishi-ku, Osaka, 550-0004, Japan
- 1,000 – 8,500 JPY • Chinese
MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View
The owner-chef makes a feature of savoury fermentation flavours and foods that go with wine. His dishes bring Chinese cuisine, in all its variety, and Japanese ingredients together. Examples are wild spring vegetables dressed with liangpan, or, in the case of wild boar or duck in winter, cooking them together with fu ru and broth of suan cai. If you order the set menu, you get to taste traditional dishes like mapo tofu and sweet-and-sour pork with black vinegar.

UDONZIN Beat
- 1-16-17 Shimmachi, Nishi-ku, Osaka, 550-0013, Japan
- 1,000 – 3,000 JPY • Udon
MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View
The signature dish here is the ‘Udon Eaten with 10 Vegetable Garnishes’, which uses in-season vegetables and condiments for enjoyable variations of flavour. A great thing is the number of dishes served here, which include, for example, ‘Wagyu Shabu-shabu Udon’, into which you pour hot dashi before eating, and the ‘Sea Bream Chikuwa Tempura Bukkake Udon’ with a fried tube-shaped tai paste cake on top.

- 3,000 – 4,000 JPY • Korean
MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View
Enjoy authentic Korean cuisine in a casual atmosphere. We recommend their signature gyoza , considered a lucky New Year dish in Korea, being round-shaped to signify money. Baked or steamed, they are eaten with a homemade-style sauce flavoured with ginger and garlic. The menu contains all sorts of creative offerings, such as the ‘Tuna & Cheese Chijimi’, and ‘Tofu Hot Pot’, containing glass noodles, pork, Korean mochi and vegetables.

TAMANEGI
- 1-20-15 Shimmachi, Nishi-ku, Osaka, 550-0013, Japan
- 3,500 – 7,500 JPY • Italian
MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View
The female chef honed her skills in Piedmont, and her dishes are authentic in both their potency and their delicacy. She brings about her unique flavours using Japanese ingredients, garnishing Wakayama katsuo with puréed onions and pairing Hokkaido raw uni sauce with tajarin to go with handmade pasta, for example. Her husband, who serves guests, will recommend a wine.

Shuchuka Kushin
- 1-21-2 Shimmachi, Nishi-ku, Osaka, 550-0013, Japan
- 1,000 – 8,000 JPY • Chinese
MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View
The appeal of the menu here is that it’s not bound to any genre and includes everything from traditional Chinese dishes to creative ones. For an appetiser, we recommend the Moriawase assortment, where you choose what you like, such as Sichuan spicy chicken and mizudako with hanasansho sauce. The pepper steak features wagyu aitchbone steamed rare and then sautéed with soy sauce. Don’t overlook the restaurant’s namesake, the salty sautéed Chinese water spinach.

Osteria La Cicerchia
- 2-3-4 Kyomachibori, Nishi-ku, Osaka, 550-0003, Japan
- 4,000 – 6,000 JPY • Italian
MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View
It may be tucked away in a multi-tenant building with no sign but open the door of this restaurant and you’ll be instantly enveloped in the aromas of Italian cooking. The female chef was drawn to the charms of Marche cuisine, and the menu reflects her training there in that region. Popular is the handmade pasta, which uses fine-ground polenta, the meat dishes of rabbit, and the minestrone of cicerchia (beans) and vegetables, to name a few.

Oribe
- 1-6-18 Shimmachi, Nishi-ku, Osaka, 550-0013, Japan
- 4,000 – 6,000 JPY • Teppanyaki
MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View
Enjoy simple dishes that make use of the chef’s experience with French cuisine and teppanyaki made with seasonal ingredients. ‘Cabbage Steak with Gorgonzola’ has been the signature dish here since the restaurant first opened. The done thing is to order okonomiyaki or stir-fried noodles seasoned with salt or sauce after first trying scallops or clams grilled in butter. Your eye is drawn to the chef as he goes about efficiently preparing the food.

Pizzeria da Tigre
- 1-18-13 Shimmachi, Nishi-ku, Osaka, 550-0013, Japan
- 1,000 – 2,000 JPY • Pizza
MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View
A firewood oven made by a Neapolitan craftsman sits at the back of this authentic-feeling restaurant. The flour used for the dough, the tomatoes, the garlic and other ingredients are all from Italy, and the chef faithfully reproduces the tastes he learned there. Named after the chef’s teacher, the ‘Attilio’ is the speciality pizza and features ricotta, salsiccia and mozzarella.

Edobori Kida
- 1-23-31 Edobori, Nishi-ku, Osaka, 550-0002, Japan
- 1,000 – 2,000 JPY • Udon
MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View
The enthusiastic owner-chef brings the udon out himself and explains how to eat it. You might like to start with the ‘Kijoyu’ or ‘Kake’. The noodles are from dough that has been rested for several hours, and are cut right before being boiled so they have a wheaten fragrance and supple texture. We recommend the oden, featuring a bold dashi and miso mixed with mustard, and the takikomi-gohan made with 10 ingredients to go with your meal.

- 1,500 – 5,000 JPY • Spanish
MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View
A place to casually enjoy traditional Basque cuisine. For first timers, we recommend the ‘Omakase Pincho Set Menu’ as it offers a generous selection that includes several pinchos, deep-fried foods, tapas and a main dish. Seasonal items are written on the blackboard inside. It’s a convenient place that’s great to just grab a snack in, or enjoy a meal with good friends.
