The 38 Best Restaurants in Osaka, Japan | Eater

"After a few years training at Barcelona’s L’Esguard, Tetsuya Fujiwara returned home to Osaka in 2003. As the fourth generation to take over his family’s Western-style restaurant, he puts modern Spanish twists on quintessentially Japanese ingredients. Fujiwara’s playful menus, which are based on seasons and memories, have earned the restaurant two Michelin stars. In the fall, his nostalgic creations might include toasted brown rice risotto and airy cornbread topped with ricotta inspired by the Japanese countryside. Know before you go: Reservations are a must, as the restaurant has a limited amount of seats, and may be booked solid one to two months in advance." - La Carmina
