Kouroan in Osaka, Honshu, Japan | Restaurant

Located in the Hotel Ichei in Osaka.

At Kouroan tiny lanterns light the pathway through the faux bamboo grove upstairs, but we prefer the entertainment at the big counter down on the main level. House specials include free-range chicken from Kochi (both grilled and raw), charcoal-grilled beef, pork and fish, homemade tofu and oden. Dinner with drinks costs around Y4000. (Kaiseki lunches are also available for groups of 8 to 40 at Kouroan.)
