Ajikitcho Bunbuan

Booked this restaurant way before we went to Osaka. Perhaps it’s a weekday so we managed to get 6 adults and a kid table. This 1 Michelin star restaurant deserves its star. From the entrance to the interior it was an excellent experience. While we adults enjoyed our meals (we all must have the same menu) the kid’s meal was really impressive. There was much items even for ¥5000. Eventually the parents got to enjoy some of the kid’s meal. Ours came out firing with cold scallop and abalone which was delicious. I love the sashimi cos it came with a lot of sweet uni. Yummy! Of course the rest was great too and we were so full that we had to reduce our rice intake at the end. For desserts there were fruits and warabi mochi. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 Will definitely come back here whenever we return to Osaka.

Authentic Japanese cuisine with the finest quality ingredients available in Spring. Every dish relied on the flavor of the ingredients, rather than overpowering it with sweetness or saltiness. Highlights: Squid sashimi, Omi beef, Sakura mochi and matcha

Exquisite courses with simple ingredients~ The food pleases the tastebuds, comforts the stomach and heals the soul. The service is attentive and considerate. Even though the restaurant is located underground, the interior design creates an ambience of tranquility and privacy. Overall a wonderful place to enjoy with guests. (Even the children’s menu looks enticing :>) 体に優しくて、心を癒える素晴らしいお料理ですね。 Appetizers: the vinegar and soup are mild and refreshing. The mushed pea and sticky sesame tofu is super delightful. Sashimi is fresh and naturally sweet. Absolutely love the squid! The seasonal set is beautiful. The “dragon boat” is loaded with delicate food. String beans in sesame paste is super fragrant. The fava bean is just in season. The egg custard is lovely. The tai sushi is delicious. Uni with tofu and tofu skin is heavenly, in the thick mild soy sauce based dressing. The Sakura shrimp rice is so fragrant! The scent is wafting in the room even after the lid is closed :3 (新潟県佐渡市屋島の🍚と）I didn’t leave a single grain in the bowl. Fruit is perfectly ripe. It’s rare these days when the tasting menus are not ended with a heavy dessert based on cream and/or sugar.

Our family of 4 had lunch at Aijikitcho Bunbuan in May 2024. Our experience was absolutely fantastic. Quality of food, variety and presentation were superb. Service, atmosphere and decor were stunning. From the initial greeting until we left , warm and discreet hospitality was always present. We were honoured by the owner who greeted as at our departure. Overall we had amazing time and our lunch was one of the top experiences we had during our vacation in Japan.

Exceptional. Amazing food and taste. Great service Highly recommended

simple tasty dishes presented really nicely on traditional plates. presentation of food was good. staff was polite and explain the dishes. Personally i think if Ajikitcho Bumbuan wanted to get another star they could reject bookings if kids were brought to dinner as they are quite noisy. also mention to patrons mobile phone calls should be taken outside would have been nice. fav dish would be caramelized yellow tail main.

We had the seven course and while it started strong, the flavors and quality were lacking. Salmon was the grilled and very over cooked. The restaurant was very noisy with families with children they didn’t keep quiet, as in extremely loud. Service was the highlight, but I could never recommend to anyone. Better food at izakayas, although without the presentation. Did not warrant a star IMO.

Traditional kaiseki Michelin starred restaurant located above Honmachi station. Dishes are delicately prepared and presented on beautiful lacquered dishes. Courses are based on seasonal ingredients and dishes have subtle and well balanced flavours. Service is formal but not intimidating or stuffy (staff was very patient and friendly). Would definitely visit again.

I wanted to check out at least one michelin restaurant on this trip. Our schedule was tight and our only available meal was for lunch. Ajikitcho Bunbu came up in my search and it was super easy to make a reservation and prepay online at My Concierge. We went with the 8,000 yen Wakana menu. As soon as we entered the restaurant, it felt like we were transported from Osaka's busy business district to a calm and relaxing Japanese restaurant. All the dishes were delicious, and the presentation of everything was almost too pretty to eat. What I did appreciate the most was the knife skills of the chefs. Some things were cut so finely but didn't fall apart (like the tofu dish). Everything tasted fresh and seasonal. Definitely a great 1 michelin star restaurant! Ad coming for lunch gives you a great experience for a lower price than dinner.

This is most likely the worst restaurant I've ever eaten at. The dishes all had the same taste and some were really fishy. Can't really understand how this restaurant can be 'one of the best' in Osaka. Never ever going to have dinner there again. Literally going home with a weird feeling in my stomach.
