An Absolute Must-Visit for Vegans (and Everyone!) in Osaka: ODORU - Edit
If you're looking for an incredible all-vegan experience in Osaka, stop scrolling and book a table at ODORU. Tamie, the chef, is truly amazing, and what she's created here is something incredibly special. I went in solo, and it genuinely felt like being welcomed into a friend's home. Tamie's warmth and enthusiasm made the whole evening feel incredibly personal and memorable.
Read moreThe concept here is a fermentation-heavy tasting menu, and every single dish is a plant-based adventure. This approach is truly unique and impressive. Each flavor changed dynamically throughout the meal, making the entire experience absolutely delightful.
Let's talk about the natto! As a Westerner who's been a little iffy on it, Tamie completely transformed it. She perfectly balanced its raw intensity with other flavors, creating a genuinely enjoyable and perfect introduction. And her vegan dashi for the miso soup? Absolutely nailed it! I also loved the tart sprouted grain sake she served; it was unlike anything I'd ever tasted, in the best way.
What makes Tamie so special is her dedication and how on-point she is with her vegan menu. She's clearly passionate about what she does and super knowledgeable. She genuinely cares about her guests and her art, and it shines through in every detail. As a stranger, I left feeling so invested in her success because the experience was just that impactful.
For an unforgettable and unique vegan dining experience in Osaka, you absolutely have to check out ODORU. Tamie’s talent, her amazing plant-based food, and her genuinely kind spirit make this place a top recommendation. Don't hesitate to step out of your comfort zone for this one—it's worth it!
Pros: Incredibly unique all-vegan, fermentation-heavy ta, Exceptional, personal hospitality from Chef Tamie, Delicious and surprising flavors that challenge an

Hi there!
Read moreOh my gosh, thank you so much for your wonderful, lively and dynamic message.
I'm honored that you have recognized and sensed the appeal of ODORU. I've put together a lot of the cuisine with people coming to Japan for the first time and trying Japanese food for the first time in mind.
I've tried to season appealing to international tastes, with keeping the traditions of Japanese food, the cuisine made by Japanese, and the power of fermentation.That's why I'm especially happy to see your interest in natto!
And receiving so many questions from people like you who are so interested in culture, history, and food is a great opportunity for Odoru to grow. I'm grateful to have had the opportunity to share so many topics with you.
Odoru is a small place, but I feel that it can become a big stage to spread Japanese culture and local experiences to more people visiting Japan from overseas! Thank you very much :))

Cozy, Authentic Vegan Japanese – Made with Love! - Edit
This tiny fully vegan Japanese degustation bar / restaurant is a true gem 🫰
Read moreEvery dish was packed with authentic flavor and made with so much love and care. The chef is amazing — warm, passionate, and excited to share how she creates traditional Japanese dishes in a completely vegan way. Sitting at her cozy bar felt more like being a guest in her home than in a restaurant.
Even if you’re not vegan, you won’t miss a thing — the food is that good. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to experience Japanese food!
Pros: Authentic Japanese, Welcoming
