TOYONAKA SAKURAE (とよなか桜会) Michelin Starred Kaiseki sa Osaka

Ang pagpili sa kaiseki restaurant na ito ay talagang isang di-inaasahang sorpresa! Sariwa ang mga sangkap at pinili batay sa panahon, at sa bawat putahe ay matitikman mo ang sipag at pagmamahal ng chef. Bukod sa napakagandang serbisyo, ang mga staff ay palakaibigan at magalang. Sa bawat paghain ng putahe, detalyado nilang ipinapaliwanag ang mga sangkap at paraan ng pagluluto. Nagkataon pang Bisperas ng Bagong Taon, kaya ang mga ginamit na pinggan ay talagang kakaiba at pinaghandaan. Tahimik ang kapaligiran at komportable ang upuan, siguradong babalik kami!

Ipinagdiwang namin ang pagtatapos ng aking anak dito, kahit na hindi alam ng restaurant dahil hindi sila nagtanong 😬 Tila kami lang ang nasa restaurant, bagaman ang mga server ay lahat mabait at magalang, at ipinakilala ang pagkain at kung paano ito kainin. Ang presentasyon ng pagkain ay napakagaling.

Napakasarap ng tanghalian, ipinakilala ng chef ang pagkain at sinabi rin sa iyo kung paano ito kainin, ramdam mo ang pagkahilig ng chef sa pagkain, na lubos na nakakatuwa.

one of the best experience while having lunch at this place. must visit while in Japan.

食物質素和服務良好！我們自駕去，也覺得地點不太方便。餐廳環境一般，剛去到時還以為沒有開門呢！用餐時間大約兩小時，如果趕時間就不建議去。

尝试怀石料理，店在丰中这边，地铁换乘公交很方便，预约了最后一个时间点过去，回市区也完全没问题。进入在一个小包间里，饮品费用透明，服务态度特别友好。即使我们日文不太好，店员很耐心用翻译软件跟我们介绍菜品的构成，菜品也很精致，有的味道比较新奇，这份套餐以禽类为主，也有海鲜，挺好吃的，最后吃得很饱！感谢各位店员小哥们和大厨，是一次很美妙的体验！

Bravo. Basically every dish gave us surprises in terms of taste, presentation and choice of ingredients. Despite the location, I will give my full recommendation to anyone who wants a keisen experience in entry-level price (since it was a set menu)

很好吃的食物、加上很多日本酒的選擇 服務很好

We booked Chef Special meal, it was 10 courses specially well decorated each dish. Each dish come with a reasonable of food, we were so full when we reached the 7th dish. The Chef is so skillful when mixing the ingredients as well as combining the food. I have never seen any restaurant use wasabi oil and foam soy to eat with sushi. The food quality and service are excellent, highly recommend! They are so nice and patient, they use iPad and translate apps to communicate and do presentation each dish, making sure you understand what you eat. All employees including the Chef came out to say goodbye after we’re done, the Chef even went down to the basement waiting for the taxi with us. Big thank! Because we have no idea we need to take a taxi from the basement. The only downside here is it’s hard to find the restaurant specifically for non-Japanese speaking like us, we went couple stores to ask the directions. The restaurant is on the second floor of a small building.
