The restaurant looks like a house, and the background music is 60s Reggae, which has a nice atmosphere. There are 3 counter seats and 6 tables, with a capacity of about 20 people. It was handled by two people: the chef and the server.

【Salmon meuniere】
Quickly boiled komatsuna (Japanese mustard spinach) with a crunchy texture is drizzled with dressing and served on a plate with salmon.
It was quick from ordering to serving, and the brown rice came quickly.
There was more komatsuna than I expected, and there was also brown rice, which made the girls happy, and me too, which I really like.
The salmon had a crispy surface, and the sauce, which contained lentils, was relatively light, leaving me wishing for a little more sauce.
I thought it would be very popular with women, and most of the people in the store were women.
In terms of volume, I don't think it's enough from a male perspective.
The last dish was dessert.
There are two types of sherbet. What was the mint and the other one? I wonder if it was grapes?
The finely chopped mint is very delicious, and the sorbet has a slightly thick taste mixed with modest milk.
It's refreshing, fragrant, and delicious.
There is also a wide selection of natural wines, so this is a guaranteed course to come in the evening.

I visited around 13:00 on a weekday, and there was only one customer before me and one customer after me. Lunch is very reasonable at just 1,000 yen, which includes a main dish of fish, meat, or pasta, soup or dessert, bread or brown rice (no pasta), and a drink. There are a lot of vegetables on the main dish, so you don't have to worry about having a salad.
This time I ordered cold pasta with anchovies and summer vegetables. There are many ingredients such as cabbage, zucchini, and eggplant. I ordered both soup and dessert and they were both very delicious.
This is a famous restaurant that I wish I had known about earlier.

You can choose soup or dessert, and it also comes with an after-drink, so for just 1,000 yen, it's very satisfying.

A few minutes walk from Iidabashi, it's a small place just down a side street from Osaka Ohsho...The atmosphere has changed a lot, and it's become a bit more stylish, with curtains over the lights and a transparent menu made of acrylic.
This time we are looking for summer specialties that I saw on Instagram.
Corn Bavarois...The aroma is rich and the texture is not too smooth, just right, dessert-like, but also goes well with the foam.
Conger eel and round eggplant terrine...this combination goes so well! ...Personally, it's a new discovery...Of course it goes well with wine.
It's a frite because it contains rare natural sweetfish... It has just the right amount of bitterness, and the wine goes on and on... ^ ^
What was unexpectedly delicious was the raw ham-flavored beef (I forget the name)...it had a moist, concentrated flavor that was completely different from beef jerky.
When you come to this restaurant, you can also enjoy the wine...I will consult with Mr. Munakata, the owner and chef, and ask him to recommend it.
It was my first time to eat roasted lamb instead of grilled lamb, and it was moist and delicious.
It's fun to come here with about 4 people who can drink wine...It's simple and rustic, but delicious.
I'll come back later
3.0 Average ★★★……Maybe they will come if you get close
3.5 Good ★★★★……I want to come again
4.0 Excellent ★★★★★…I want to come regularly
