This Modern Japanese is an interesting option for business entertainment and a romantic evening alike

The Sun is one of the more interesting restaurants in Osaka. Located on the 27F of the Nissei building with spectacular views on downtown Osaka, the place impresses you once you set foot in it. The ambience is stunning and feels warm despite of the ultra-modern interior design. You have the choice of Tatami rooms and counter seats, but we prefer the tables in front of the counter, which offer the best views.

The menu includes more traditional Japanese fare like Sashimi. However their 'Sun Original' dishes, which one may call Modern Japanese, are where the kitchen really shines. A must eat is the Yosei Tofu, add your choice of condiments and enjoy the creamy and fresh taste of the Tofu.

Most of the menu is in Japanese, but at least the non-seasonal dishes have an English 'title'. And if you are lucky, you may occasionally find an English-speaking waiter. The selection of wines is rather limited, unfortunately. The only downside of the place is the service, which generally is rather inattentive. Also don't come too late, as some products may be out of stock, as it happened to us a couple of times already,

Be sure to make your reservation in advance, since the place is popular. The Sun adds to your bill a Yen 800 table charge and a 10% service charge.
