Three Michelin stars for elegant kaiseki, sustainable seafood & vegetables
"An intimate kaiseki establishment where the chef-owner and his wife cultivate a welcoming, relaxed service style and serve a roughly dozen-course meal over several hours; the couple’s English fluency makes the experience accessible to international diners and allows for thoughtful attention to dietary needs." - Yukari Sakamoto
"With three Michelin stars and a Green Star for its sustainable practices, Kashiwaya Osaka Senriyama’s kaiseki is impeccable. Once a ryokan, the family business is now helmed by chef Hideaki Matsuo who honors his ancestors’ traditions (like tea ceremonies and seasonal cooking) while taking a forward-thinking approach to sourcing (such as by partnering with a marine institute to raise sustainable fish). The 12 elegant courses are purposeful and perfectly paced, with an emphasis on seafood and vegetables. In the fall, when chrysanthemum is in season, you might taste the flower petals with chile-marinated Ise lobster and yam, and sea bream fish cake with shiitake mushrooms and chrysanthemum. Vibe check: A picture-perfect Japanese villa in the green outskirts of Osaka. You’ll feel like the only guest on the premises as you walk through the elegant garden to a private room with tatami mats, low tables, and ink scrolls." - La Carmina
"The interior, ceremonial space and dining-ware remind one of a tea ceremony room. The menu is based on the traditional division of the year into 24 seasons, underscoring their ephemeral nature. Owner-chef Hideaki Matsuo follows the calendar and respects historical events and lore, passing Japanese culture to the next generation. He is always creative and ready to experiment with new flavours. The auspiciously named ‘Dragon Cloud Grill’ was inspired by French soufflé. A modern sensibility is on generous display." - Michelin Inspector
"Kashiwaya in Osaka, Japan, is among the restaurants awarded a Michelin Green Star." - Jessie Beck
"An elite restaurant in Osaka, known for its consistent three Michelin stars." - Rachel Tan
