Oft-overlooked Osaka should truly not be missed. With big-city excitement and small-town warmth, we love it more and more every time we go.
Though the interiors are paired back, minimalist, and ever-so-simple, the food is anything but. In an experience where cameras are forbidden, Hajime is a restaurant as iconic as it gets. Perhaps best renown for the dish 'Planet Earth', this place is beyond sensational. Save it for that special occasion.
With only eight seats and two sittings, KAHALA is intimate and so world-renowned it's essential to book well in advance. Chef Yoshifumi Mori iconically blends Japanese tradition with an ode to French cuisine; the flavours are unimaginable, the presentation just phenomenal. A man of many talents, even the crockery you dine on is handcrafted by Mori.
With rooms designed by architect Toshinori Nakamura, this is a dining experience like no other. Overlooking the idyllic oasis beyond the open windows, dive into a menu focused on the seasons. The 'Dragon Cloud Grill' will constantly play into our dreams!
The space is excellent. The food even more so. Chef Yusuke Takada serves up food that is nothing but exquisite, and almost too pretty to eat! Fusing together French cuisine with Japanese style and ingredients, a trip to La Cime is certainly going to be special.
