Obata

The food at Obata was exceptional! Delicious light batter on the tempura, and a fantastic range of choices. I would really recommend if you want an authentic Japanese experience! The chef speaks English and is extremely helpful and kind. Thank you Issei-san!

We met chef Issei-san by chance in the morning on the streets of Osaka, and he invited us to attend his Tempura restaurant. We could have never expected the culinary delight and heart-warming experience that was to follow. Issei-san is an incredible host who's passion for his craft is contagious. Do... not miss the chance to attend Obata for the evening.

This place is the best culinary experience I've had in Japan, the politeness of Issei (the Chef) was incredible and his decades of experience shows in not only his preparation of food but the execution of it too, I will certainly becoming back the next time I'm in town, I would bring, friends, famil...y and business colleagues to Tempura Shunrakuan Obata
