Excellent food!!! The seafood in the Kaisendon was very fresh and delicious, and the Sukiyaki was exactly how I had it back in Japan. This place serves delicious, truly authentic Japanese food. The waiter was very attentive too!

I've been going back and forth to this restaurant. When it was first a very small business, I mostly went there by accident. Then I tried their food and immediately fell in love. It's simple but effective. I've tried mostly all dishes at least once and love them all. I am a bit picky about food, and this restaurant has made some things I don't normally like to eat... well... edible. Now it's a slightly bigger restaurant than before; the atmosphere has improved, as has the size. I've been going to this restaurant for about three years and plan to keep going!

Got invited here due to a friend’s birthday. The pot was delicious with tasty craft and dip. The food quality was carefully chosen by the chef in order to ensure the high quality. The menu text is a mix of Japanese Norwegian English. Reasonable price for wine, and many choices for Japanese drinks as well. We ordered a pot for 4 persons for share of 6. The content was plenty and more than enough for us. The Japanese chef had been a while in the business. He seemed aged now but still hanging on out there. Well done!

Get out of the city, easy bus access, and you're in Osaka. Dainty, clean, personable, and service is accommodating and prompt. Now, with energy to go to Vigeland!
