Rooots Nakanoshima (ルーツ中之島)

One of the best michelin star which I ever had in Osaka. Warm and welcoming hospitality. Definitely, I’ll go back. 1. Mousse, caviar and herbs The taste was very nice, good combination and rich. 2.Takoyaki,squid,nori and salami The best takoyaki which I ever had. So crunchy and delicious. 3. Uni cream pasta The uni cream was very delicate and perfect combination with pasta. 4.Hirame( flounder fish) The fish was marinated for 1 week, the served with “finger lime” and shiso sprout. So fresh…this food really no kidding. Next level.. 5. Abalone, mushroom and liver sauce Grilled abalone was yummy. The smoky flavour really lovely. 6.Whale sperm, with ginger soup I skip it😂 7.Potato Gnocchi and truffle This one was the star for me 8. Mackerel and turnip sake kasu(sake left over cast) 9. Vinagrette mousse with shiso sprout They put some truffle inside the mousse, so unique 10. Wagyu beef steak with lotus 11.Prosciutto from “Japan” with trufle rice. This is the highlight, my favourite even I added more. 12.Pear Granita and pecan nuts 13.Chesnut and Coffee mousse with dark and white chocolate crumbs The best dessert which I ever had 14. Florentine, chocolate cake and japanese plum. Chocolate cake was good

What an extraordinary dining experience we had at Roots Nakanoshima! From the very first course to the last, every detail was impeccable. This was by far the most memorable Michelin experience we’ve ever had. Each dish was a masterpiece—beautifully crafted, perfectly balanced, and paired with exquisite wine and sake selections that elevated the meal even further. The hospitality of the chef and staff was warm, genuine, and truly unforgettable, making us feel not just like guests, but like family. I would wholeheartedly recommend Roots Nakanoshima to anyone visiting the Osaka or Kyoto area. I’ll be dreaming about these dishes for years to come!

Was our last night in Japan after 9 days of travel between Osaka, Kyoto and Tokyo. Went to multiple Michelin restaurants from 1 to 3 and this by far the as the best one we had been to. Chef was very thoughtful on each dish and the flavor had multiple layers of complexity including flavor and locally sourced ingredients. Would highly recommend coming here and we will definitely be returning in the future.

Very good service, great culinary creations. However, I can't agree with the price for the menu of 50,000 yen, which is too much for a one michelin star restaurant and the used ingredients.

Small , exclusive and extremely clean ….The service and presentation is out of this world Ten course meal just perfect to fill you up! Not too much not too less..experience ends with the most delicious desserts

Amazing staff. Amazing food.

Rooots delivers an extraordinary expression of umami, crafted through exceptional ingredients, masterful technique, and a deep sensitivity to flavour. Each dish is meticulously composed, visually exquisite, and perfectly paced and portioned, with intuitive service. Rooots stands among the very best restaurants I have ever experienced. Thank you for creating such a thoughtful, refined, and truly memorable evening.

食材も調理も目を見張る美しさ！ 料理20,730円にペアリング（90ml）12,000円を追加したコース。 お料理をされる柿原さんとサーブされる小田さんとの絶妙なコンビ。 食事は素材良し、見た目良し、にソースなどに隠し味が入っていてミシュランなりの驚きもある。 テンポ良いサーブをされる小田さんはまだ若いわりに（失礼！）知識は豊富で話好き。 食べるのを忘れてしまいそうになった。 ペアリングはワイン中心であるが日本酒も2種類組み合わせがあった。 山口の東洋美人（澄川酒造）と広島の龍勢（藤井酒造）で料理との相性もピッタリであった。 この時期だけの白トリュフを多めスライスしたためこの金額になったが、通常は3万円台前半である。
