The 38 Best Restaurants in Osaka, Japan | Eater
"Feast on the food of the gods at Shinon Washoku Senryu, a kaiseki (traditional multi-course experience) based on osagari, or the spiritual practice of offering food to Shinto deities. The airy 18-seat restaurant opened in December 2024, and it feels like a sanctuary with shoji screens and a Shinto altar as the center. Expect seasonal dishes like five flavors of mochi rice cake paired with sake, and Hokkaido wakasagi fish marinated in persimmon vinegar, which aim to connect diners with the natural world, and deliver subtle flavors that can be rightly described as divine. Know before you go: Every month, the staff visits Nishinomiya Shrine to pray and receive blessings from Ebisu, the god of successful harvests, and to purify their cooking knives. For an extra cost, guests can attend." - La Carmina
