The 38 Best Restaurants in Osaka, Japan | Eater

"Osaka takes fusion omakase to new heights at Sushi L’Abysse, which has skyscraper views through picture windows on the 37th floor of the Four Seasons Hotel. Opened in December 2024, this is chef Yannick Alléno’s third L’Abysse restaurant following his Monte-Carlo and Paris outposts (the latter has two Michelin stars). Osaka’s version pairs Yasuda Itaru’s meticulous sushi technique with hints of French haute cuisine. A seasonal lunch set might include Sasanishiki short-grain rice and seafood consomme infused with bonito and kelp, followed by a smoky oyster bouillon and the nigiri catch of the day, and finishing with refreshing aloe vera sashimi and mushroom ice cream. Vibe check: The interiors, which were designed by Alléno’s wife Laurence, are a study in Japanese modern chic. Look for the long tapestry inspired by haikus, the dramatic sculpture crafted from hinoki chopsticks on the ceiling, and the handcrafted ceramic corals that nod to the name L’Abysse (“deep sea” in French)." - La Carmina
