Begin your meal with Hakozushi, a traditional Osaka dish beloved since ancient times, served to your table as your appetizer. Hakozushi is normally made by pressing seafood on sushi rice in a wooden box. However, OMO7 Osaka offers a new style of Hakozushi, with layers of avocado, couscous, potatoes, and other ingredients spread in layers instead of the conventional sushi rice, topping them with seafood and eggs.
After finishing your Hakozushi, your next stop is the buffet section. Our menu includes Mafugu no Tataki Pufferfish Sashimi inspired by the local Osaka dish kassen (assorted sashimi). Taco Rice Paella will be made using Kayaku-gohan rice (*1), as well as Herb-Marinated Mizunasu Eggplants and even Moriguchi Daikon Radish Pickled with Sake Lees, both of which use traditional Naniwa vegetables beloved by the locals of Osaka. For your dessert, indulge in Takoyaki Cake, Hakozushi Cake, Mixed Juice Jelly, and other treats that sublimate Osaka’s food into sweets.
*1: In Osaka, this term refers to takikomi-gohan or more specifically, rice cooked with vegetables, meat, etc.
The buffet features a live kitchen with nikusui (beef soup from Osaka), which is accented with freshly shaved bonito flakes, and beef teppanyaki for a taste of Kansai beef culture. The nikusui is made with a generous amount of beef sirloin and topped with freshly shaved bonito flakes. Beef Teppanyaki is a traditional beef dish in the Kansai region served on an iron plate. Red pickled ginger is kneaded into the butter that accompanies the beef, giving the dish a taste of Osaka-ness.
