Incredible! - Edit
6 courses in a private meal with the chef. What more could you ask for? Definitely for someone who is up to try anything and everything plant based and who is curious about Japanese culture.

Great vegan dinner - Edit
We were a family of 6 with a 8 years old child. Tammy welcomed us very friendly. The dishes were so delicious and in so many nice small plates. The sake was really good. Tammy had also prepared some funny small games which my grandson enjoyed. Thé restaurant is small and cosy. We really had a great evening.

So much more than a meal! - Edit
This was one of my favorite dining experiences ever! It is in a sweet space and intimate setting. Tammy and her mother are so sweet and kind. Tammy is an incredibly talented and creative chef! She cultivated a dining experience based on the 5 senses which she expertly planned. Every bite is new and delicious and complex. The sake is unique and paired well. Do yourself a favor and book this dining experience for good people who love food!

Amazing experience with great food - Edit
We had a great time at the restaurant. We were the only ones there at that evening (reservation mandatory on previous day) so we had amazing interaction with the chef who's cooking right front of you. The experiences between the courses were fun, entertaining and insightful into the Japanese eating culture. Absolutely worth the price!

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
