Established in 1984 by owner-chef Nishimoto Junzo as ‘a little Italy in the city for the enjoying of delicious times,’ Opium is a delightfully addictive restaurant near the east end of Osaka’s Utsubo Park.
Spread over two floors, the tastefully appointed interior evinces a mixture of old world charm and nostalgic, colonial-era South East Asia aesthetics, resulting in a cozy yet elegant setting in which to enjoy accomplished cooking and fine wines.
The menu offers lunch and dinner courses, as well as a la carte options, to suit a variety of appetites and purses, while sommelier Ishigaki Ayako’s unfailing hospitality, as she acquaints guests with a 900 bottle cellar encompassing 90 regional Italian varieties, ensures a memorable experience.
