An excellent taverna located in Crysta Shopping Center. Staffed by enthusiastic staff, an ample non-smoking area, charming eclectic decor, and delicious set menus with fresh seasonal ingredients. Reasonably priced and worth the extra effort to find it.

As a economic , cultural and trading base , it has played an important role in the life of the nation. Today Osaka is still an economic powerhouse with a large concentration of world-class companies - ...
We loved the people in Osaka. As a big city, it is quite safe compared to any city of the same size in the world or USA.
We enjoyed the food. We were vegetarians, but we still found restaurants that could help with our needs. The Indian restaurants are good!

Osaka, Kyoto, Nara a must go
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 04/27/07
Lived in Sakai area for two years. Love Osaka, Kyoto and Nara the triple city zone. Although some foreigners were pissed about high costs, the amazing architecture and very kind polite people there make it well worth it. Hanging around the Midousuji from Umeda to Nanba, were the best times I had. Tokyo was different. More like NYC. I can't come ...

I lived for 3 years in Bentencho(ORC apt). Those were the happiest time in my life. I lived in different continents before but Japan, read Osaka, is the best. The people, my neighbours and above all my Japanese friends are so nice and gracious to show me their country and being critical as well.
NEXT YEAR WE ARE GOING to visit Japan again.

i lived in Osaka and the Kansai area for 10 years. it is a great place to vist, the area has so much to offer, the great food in Osaka, the culture of Kyoto and Nara, and the beauty of Kobe... the people of the area are friendly, and it is easy to get around. There is a lot to see and do, with out the rush and headache of Toyko..

A City in my Dream
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/16/06
As one of the most important cities in Japan, Osaka lies in the middle part of this island country, near the sea. Since Japan doesn’t cover a large area, it is perhaps one of the most crowded countries in the world. Comparing with China, it has less than 4% of China’s land, but has to raise as much as 1/13 of its population. Nothing seems to be ...
When i intially signed up to visit Japan, i was in no way prepared for the cultural awakening i would later have broadside me. not only did i get a epiphany but i also was able to gain an appreciation for design and decor, i found myself always strolling the streets just admiring the buildings and dwellings they have, you cant help but notice the ...
