At Ono, every element—from the ceramic plateware to the final sake pour—is a celebration of ingredient, season, and aesthetic. Led by Chef Kota Ono, whose journey spans Awaji Island and fine dining kitchens across Japan, this modern kaiseki-style restaurant distills Japan’s culinary essence into a curated tasting menu. Dishes showcase peak-season produce, local seafood, and thoughtfully integrated French and contemporary touches. The experience is elevated further by expert wine and sake pairings from a certified sommelier, all served in a softly lit, minimal setting designed for mindful appreciation. Located in Osaka’s Kitashinchi district, Ono is a true destination for diners seeking harmony, creativity, and a deep respect for nature’s palette.
