AI summary of what 10 dish mentions say about the food
At Koryu, the rice emerges as the star, earning rapturous praise for its texture and flavor, while reviewers consistently describe the overall vibe as an intimate, quietly masterful experience.
“The green part is good, but the bottom tastes like dirt. The rice is cold — it's served in a jar, which is embarrassing. The hot water doesn't taste like anything. The elements don't work together. If it were warm, it might be better, but as it is, it's a letdown.”

⭐️⭐️ KORYU DELUSIONE STELLARE IN GIAPPONE - il nostro primo 2 stelle ad OSAKA · @ 01:00
A first-time experience at a 2-Michelin-star Japanese restaurant in Osaka, Koryu, offering a 14-course tasting menu that highlighted traditional Japanese cuisine but left the diners divided due to unfamiliar flavors and textures.
Dishes mentioned
Sashimi
This is our first 100% Japanese sashimi. The sauce is very particular — it's like a very, very strong vinaigrette with a hint of acidity. But I found a bone or a scale in it, I heard a crunch. Mixed it's not bad if not for the bones. I don't know if leaving that part in is intentional.
Japanese Vegetable and Mushroom Dish
This is a cold dish with Japanese vegetables and mushrooms. On top there's a sauce made with Japanese mustard and a Japanese wild vegetable called Hookinoto, mixed with sesame seeds. The first impression is almost wasabi-like. It's good, but not the best dish I've ever eaten. It doesn't blow me away.
- Hairy Crab with Eggplant and Wild Vegetable
Fish with Sea Urchin and Sake Sauce
This dish smells like Moscow? It's a fresh summer plate, but it doesn't taste like a star dish. The baby eel has an eye looking at you — it's almost disturbing. My colleague made a heart shape with it before tasting. I follow the boss's advice and mix it without looking the eel in the eyes. Not impressive.
Abor (Fish Liver) with Daikon Radish
This dish has a very fishy taste. I don't like it — it's not a good fishy flavor. The boss even says it's like eating shoes. The vegetable on the side is fantastic, though — I really like sour flavors. But the fish itself is a letdown. I tried to use the fish as a 'scarpetta' to soak up the sauce, but it doesn't work well.
