Kaminoza is a small restaurant but homey. The chef is very attention to detail to his food and also to his guests. He serves whatever is in season and with his limited English he tries hard to explain his dishes and also show the utmost hospitality. It’s rare to find Japanese restaurants. The restaurant’s plating is also quite unique. Next time if you go to Osaka you should!
An amazing dining experience worthy of Michelin stars! We are so grateful that we only discovered this hidden gem because it was located between our hotel and the Osaka Castle. I enjoyed the 7 types of sake pairing while my wife enjoyed the tea pairing. Each dish was delightful in presentation, taste, and uniqueness. Chef Shono’s dedication to his craft can be felt through every bite. The restaurant also showcases Japanese pottery, which adds to the experience. I hope the photos conveyed even a fraction of our wonder. Reservation is a must and highly recommend you do so. We recommend this restaurant to our friends and will certainly be back!
Unforgettable dining experience! We learnt a lot about Japanese cuisine and every course was fantastic. It is absolutely recommended. One of the highlights of my trip to Japan.
What an incredible restaurant. Since the waiter retired last months, it‘s only the chef cooking and serving the food. He does a brilliant job! The food is so delicious and full of natural flavours. No fancy pants, just feeling the chef is cooking with lots of love. 10 dishes for JPY 23000 is pricy, and worth every penny! Best miso I have ever had. Reservation: it showed online it is full, I just emailed to s.k78@kaminoza.jp
