Consistently delicious. The seafood tempura, especially the shrimp and squid, is outstanding, and the vegetables are excellent as well. The specialty here is the Deluxe Tempura Rice Bowl (Jo-ten-don)—perfect for a special lunch treat. I recommend asking for less sauce to better enjoy the flavors. The miso soup served at lunch is also among the best I’ve ever had.

I enjoyed lunch at Hourai Honkan, a renowned Chinese restaurant in Namba. The restaurant was bustling with both tourists and locals, but the turnover was quick and I was seated without much wait. This time, I ordered the Mapo Tofu. Its vibrant reddish color was visually appetizing, and with the first bite, I was impressed by the perfect balance of numbing Sichuan pepper aroma and spicy heat.

As a Chinese restaurant located within a hotel, the entrance exudes an impressive sense of grandeur as soon as you step out of the elevator, which can feel a bit intimidating at first. However, while the open dining space is also elegant, this time we enjoyed a fully private room. Every detail, from the furnishings to the décor, radiates luxury, creating an exclusive and intimate atmosphere. It was the perfect setting for a truly exceptional experience.

A restaurant specializing in chilled negi (green onion) noodles! I heard great things and decided to try it for myself. If you visit in the early afternoon, there’s usually no line, which I highly recommend. The noodles come generously topped with a mountain of fresh green onions and are absolutely delicious. Portions are substantial—about 1.7 servings per bowl. While the negi cold noodles are the signature dish, I also highly recommend the Tenshinhan (crab omelet rice). The seasoning is outstanding.
