We've initially made plans to dine at an upscale sushi restaurant in Shinsaibashi tonight but since we have decided to join force with another family at the last minute and the sushi place didn't have seats to accommodate us all. We will again improvise.
After striking out as walk-in customers at a number of places, Jelloman wanted us to try our luck in Daimaru Shinsaibashi (大丸心齋橋). I thought there was no way on earth that there would be availability at any of the restaurants there since it was boxing day but I was glad that she proved me wrong. In fact, there were a few places with open seats and we ended up picking Seasonal Luxury Sakai Ginshari Gekotei Daimaru Shinsaibashi (季節の贅沢 堺 銀シャリ げこ亭 大丸心齋橋店) since they had fish courses available.
This guy has been acting funny all day long. I wonder what he has under his sleeves.
Ginchari Gekotei is known for putting its emphasize on the use of seasonal and local ingredients, aiming to provide a dining experience that reflects the changing seasons. Tonight, they have all these small side dishes such as a porridge, pickled lotus roots etc. to go with a main dish of our own choice.
I had the grilled Coho salmon (銀鮭魚) myself and thought it was decent.
Comparing to the last few days in Osaka, or Namba for all that matters, today has been very very different. There are crowds everywhere and I don't think I would enjoy walking around the city's touristy places tonight.
