Guenpin em Osaka - Especialista em Baiacu

A unique experience when you’re in Japan. As most restaurants are full during dinner time, it’s good that we got this package and appointment at the same time, we just plan our itinerary around it. Very pleased with the menu to sample different kind of fugu cooked in different method. We further ordered its ore to try, quite an acquired taste.

First time eating pufferfish 🐡. It was delicious 🤤. Highly recommend this restaurant, "Genpin." All the front-of-house staff were very professional and patiently guided us, first-time pufferfish eaters. For the meal, we chose the Tenraku set, which included pufferfish sashimi, skin, fried, grilled, hotpot, and finally, porridge. The ingredients, broth, and everything else were extremely satisfying. Highly recommended. And there was no need to worry at all about whether our two elementary school-aged children would find many things they couldn't eat. They both ate with great relish. The texture of the pufferfish sashimi was very much like a combination of squid and sturgeon. It was delicious; this long-established Genpin is truly amazing. We will definitely come back to enjoy it again next time! Thank you! 👍.

Booking on Klook was very convenient. I printed out the order and showed it directly to the staff, and we were seated quickly. We chose the Tenraku set meal, which I highly recommend! The fugu (pufferfish) was very fresh. I suggest asking the staff to upgrade to thick-cut sashimi. This set also includes fried, grilled, and hot pot dishes, and every single one was super delicious. I highly recommend everyone to come and try it. The restaurant atmosphere was great, and the staff were very friendly. We had no trouble communicating using simple English words. Plus, the food was served quickly, and they observed our eating pace to arrange the next dish, which was excellent.

This place is definitely worth a visit! The environment is comfortable. This time I came alone, and the restaurant gave me a large table. The cold fish skin was very springy and delicious with the seasoning; I finished it immediately. The sashimi wasn't as fishy as I expected, and its texture was more elastic than regular fish. The hot pot, however, tasted like ordinary fish. I was quite full after eating all this by myself. Later, I saw that there was also rice in broth and ice cream. The staff helped me cook and even let me taste the rice in broth to check the saltiness. The sorbet was also impeccable. If I come again, I will definitely bring my family! 🫶🏻

I like fish when it's fried and boiled. I can't really taste the savory raw sashimi. The fish is really fresh. Be sure not to eat anything before this. The last serving with rice can fully load your stomach. Overall, a very nice experience. The waitress is friendly.

We ordered the Tenraku set meal, which had 8 dishes. I thought it wouldn't be enough before eating, but by the time we got to the porridge, I almost couldn't finish it. The Namba store is not hard to find, and there probably aren't many seats inside. The private rooms offer high privacy, but the air conditioning wasn't strong enough, so it was a bit warm. Also, ordering through Klook was much cheaper than at the restaurant; the Tenraku meal there costs ¥14,000 per person. The taste was good; if you haven't tried pufferfish before, you should give it a try.

When we arrived at the restaurant for our reservation, we simply stated we had a booking. Perhaps there weren't many reservations that day, as we were seated without any identity verification. There were staff members who spoke Chinese, but for some reason, a Japanese staff member initially asked us to order additional drinks. When we asked if they were included in the set meal, they confirmed they were, but in the end, we were charged for two extra drinks, which was an unexpected incident. As for the food, it was my first time trying fugu (pufferfish) cuisine, and the texture of the meat was very unique. The service staff were also very friendly. If I go to Japan again, I would like to visit this restaurant once more.

If you're worried about the cost of a meal and watching your wallet, you might as well just eat the northwest wind. After a hard day's work, all a person wants is a satisfying meal; if you have the means to fill your stomach, then naturally you should enjoy yourself, eat happily and heartily. To do otherwise is pointless. If you have too many reservations, it goes against the natural way. To live in a way that goes against the natural order is to live a life of suffering.

This was our first time trying fugu, and we chose the Tenraku set meal. The set included various preparations such as cold appetizers, sashimi, grilled dishes, and hot pot. All the dishes were incredibly delicious 😋. We recommend upgrading the sashimi to thick-cut for an additional ¥330 for an even better taste. Next time we have the chance to visit again, we'll choose to try the natural series 😊.

There are private rooms, and they will explain how to eat. Upon entering the restaurant, they will confirm the reservation name, not check the confirmation slip. If there are communication issues, they will use pictures to help us choose (sauces). The private rooms are on the third floor, and the stairs are very steep; I almost fell. Drinks require an additional charge.
