[…] The chef was the leading light behind places like Osaka, the Sipan restaurants, and Mullu. Now, Osaka, I like a lot, but it’s outrageously expensive. The Sipans, I’m not as enamored with, […]

A visit yesterday back to Osaka for lunch, with a quintet of friends, just confirmed how good it really is. We had an amazing tiradito of fresh salmon in a passionfruit sauce, a two-salmon sushi roll, three other different appetizer plates: a truly delicious fried wonton wrap of king crab (similar to the trout packages noted in my original post, but richer), a scallop ceviche served on the half shell, some wonderful spring rolls, and a trio of main courses, including a beautiful dish of glazed, grilled octopus with a potato puree, baby calamari with black rice that looked like a mound of caviar, and a saute of shrimp, shiitakes and green onions. Although truly fantastic and creative, it is pretty pricey – let’s see, 5 apps, 3 mains, 1 dessert sampler, a few bottles of water, four coffees and one bottle of wine came in at a sticker price of 750 pesos ($198), plus tip. (And, btw, my friends were picking up the tab and ordering, so I wasn’t going to order more, but for six people, that wasn’t near enough food – I met up with Henry a little later and we went out for sandwiches.) Interestingly, given the cost, the place was full, and mostly locals – all conversations I heard were in Spanish other than at our table – and, Osaka’s menu is only offered in Spanish, no translations.
