Kashiwaya Suita Reviews
A magical restaurant
Hands down the finest food I have ever had in many trips to Japan. Exquisite in all dimensions. Simply the most gracious gentile service one could imagine. Chef Matsuo is a genius able to adhere to the grand traditions of kai-seki while at the same time adding small wrinkles and surprises. He has three Michelin stars and Kashiwaya delivers on that promise of excellence.
Unassuming location; great dinner
Picture a residential neighborhood where you would probably not start a restaurant; then picture a street in that neighborhood where you would be quite unlikely to start a restaurant. That is however precisely where this three-star restaurant is located. The philosophy behind it all, just as the fully zen private dining rooms with tatami mats - I assume - is the full and undivided focus should be on the dinner. And: it delivered. The food is season bound and, at times, surprising. While some of the dishes we had were ‘just’ great Japanese food, two of the twelve dishes we had were truly magnificent. With respect to the sake and wine pairing we had; the sake was lovely (as a non-sake expert) and we enjoyed the wine (although other Michelin star restaurants may certainly have better wines).
Worth the detour! A lovely lunch in Osaka
We had a wonderful lunch at Kashiwaya. The service was exceptional from the moment we walked through the door. We were led to a private room where we were served dish after dish of beautiful and delicious plates in perfect tune with the terroir of the Osaka region. The menu follows traditional Kaiseki format and our servers kindly explained the significance of the different components in each dish as it relates to the current season. We made our reservation on the MyConcierge website (my first time doing this) and everything went very smoothly. We have eaten at several 3 star Kaiseki restaurants and this ranks highly among them. Definitely worth the detour!!!

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Kashiwaya Suita at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Kashiwaya Suita page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* FamousStation67, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* FamousStation67 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FamousStation67 for any questions Peter may have as FamousStation67 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FamousStation67 now uses their connections at Kashiwaya Suita to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If FamousStation67 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FamousStation67 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FamousStation67's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Kashiwaya Suita!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
