Funachef Description
Funachef is a culinary gem located in Osaka, Japan, known for its fusion of European, Asian, and Southern Hemisphere flavors. Led by Chef Yuuta Funaoaka, a former personal chef to Japanese soccer star Keisuke Honda, the restaurant offers a modern French dining experience like no other. Funachef sources organic vegetables from Shiga's Omi Sonda Farm and utilizes lesser-known seafood from local waters, showcasing Chef Funaoaka's skill in combining aromas and flavors to highlight the essence of each ingredient. His expertise has earned him the title of the 'conscience of modern gastronomy French cuisine.'
The restaurant's commitment to sustainability is reflected not only in its cuisine but also in its charming ambiance. Nestled in a Showa-era alley in Tenma, the decor provides a stark yet harmonious contrast to the innovative dishes served. Guests can enjoy the lively atmosphere at the counter, where Chef Funaoaka's global culinary knowledge, acquired through travels with Keisuke Honda, shines through in his natural and engaging storytelling. Funachef is not just a place to dine; it's an experience where every bite tells a story of passion, creativity, and a deep connection to the ingredients and the world at large.

It was delicious!
The level is quite high.
The owner/chef was also a wonderful person.
The store staff are also nice.
I would be happy if there were fewer items and it was more affordable.
I had about 4 drinks and it cost 26,000 yen.
Considering cost performance, I wanted to find a delicious place for around 10,000 yen.
