Nestled quietly in the heart of Osaka, in the Yodogawa-ku ward, is the hidden gem restaurant '1004.' Its name originates from the meaning of 'serving 1004 parts of creative cuisine.' Despite its modern facade, stepping inside feels like entering a different world.
The interior exudes a calm and modern Japanese atmosphere, with various private rooms such as tatami and sunken kotatsu seating. Gazing into the beautifully maintained Japanese garden, one feels a sense of tranquility that washes over the heart.

Once you find your favorite dish, try enhancing the flavors with meticulously selected Japanese sake. In the evening, you can enjoy an elegant moment under the soft lighting. A visit during your sightseeing trip should allow you to fully immerse in the charm of Osaka.
