| - Osaka is many good things:
1. a sushi restaurant with a wide variety of fish. When you go into most neighborhood sushi joints, they have the chalkboard specials. Unfortunately, whenever I ask for the more high-end stuff off the chalkboard, NOBODY has it! One waiter at a not-to-be-named sushi joint actually laughed when I asked for the Bluefin. I said, "it's on the specials," and he said, "oh, we never have that." (?!?) Not so at Osaka! Just last night I was offered Bluefin, otoro, and chutoro (sp?). We had the bluefine and the cheaper of the toros (can't remember which). Both were delish!
2. A great sake bar. Seriously, I bet they have 40 different sakes on their menu, one to fit every price point. We had a $19 bottle of cold "mountain man" last night. Good not great, but I like trying things out.
3. A reasonably-priced teppanyaki joint. The chefs do all the standbys (smiley face, fire, peeing man to put out the fire, onion volcano, etc etc....) which my 2 year old loved! It's at least 2 meals worth and they have all kinds of options. I got the chicken ($19), and my husband had the NY and lobster ($35, I think).
4. A tatami room. Actually, I have no idea what that is or what they serve, but I see people taking off their shoes to sit there.
5. In my neighborhood!
