Dining
Chukasoba Mugen
While eating ramen, salt water from the noodles gradually dilutes the soup. You can experience this for yourself. First, pour a little of the soup into a separate bowl. Finish the noodles in the original bowl, then try sipping the reserved soup—the difference in taste will amaze you. The harmony created by a bowl of ramen goes beyond taste. The slurping of noodles forms a duet with the classical music in the background. The joy of ramen knows no bounds: ‘mugen’.
Sakamoto Sushi
With Nishikujo Station to guide them to the spot, every evening customers gather at Sakamoto Sushi, where the familiar chef greets them with a smile. The omakase menu, which begins with a snack, is astounding in variety and breadth. Fish are painstakingly prepared by methods such as marination and searing, and are paired with white sushi rice in the Kansai way. Nigirizushi are interspersed with bozushi and hand-rolled sushi to keep things interesting. The chef uses the highest-grade fish, yet the prices won’t break the bank.
ku:de kiyo
‘Kuude’ is ‘let’s eat’ in Osaka dialect, the chef’s nickname is Kiyo, and the whole name has a French sound to it. A colour scheme of bright blue and green declares the shop’s freedom from convention. The theme is ‘unforgettable cuisine’: each dish features no more than three items, arrangements are minimal, and portions are generous. At lunchtime, set meals of Western items paired with rice and miso soup make ku:de kiyo a local favourite.
