Commitment

Everything starts with the dashi stock

The soup stock is made with plenty of true kelp imported from Rishiri Island, Hokkaido, and is simmered over a low heat for over 5 hours. It's a luxurious way of serving Japanese restaurants in Osaka that hasn't changed since the days when it was transported to the "nation's kitchen" by Kitamaebune.

Add bonito flakes freshly ground in the morning to the first dashi stock to create a sweet and clear soup. For simmered dishes, we prepare soup stock that brings out the deliciousness of ingredients such as chicken and dried shiitake mushrooms.

Visiting production areas and carefully selecting reliable materials

The ingredients we use in our dishes are selected after visiting production areas across the country, speaking directly with fishermen, farmers, and market workers. We communicate frequently and are always stocking fresh ingredients.

A wealth of local ingredients from Okayama is also used. We want our customers to enjoy the local goodness that we can only appreciate now that we have gained experience. Customers from overseas and outside the prefecture are also happy to have a moment where they can enjoy the flavors of Okayama.

Tools and cutting methods that bring out the best in the material

"Seventy percent of cooking is determined by the tools." Sticking to the beliefs he learned during his training in Osaka, Happou places emphasis on tools. The knives used depending on the ingredients were selected by Aritsugu in Kyoto. We have honed our skills to be worthy of first-class tools.

Among all ingredients, the flavor of fish in particular changes depending on how it is cut. We devised ways to cut the ingredients to best enjoy their deliciousness, depending on the amount of fat and the direction of the fibers. We serve every dish with care.

A vessel that colors special moments

At Happou, we use antiques, Bizen ware, and Kutani ware. We carefully selected works from potteries, antique stores, and contemporary artists from all over the country. We offer utensils that not only highlight the beauty of the ingredients, but also add color to your special day or special time.

We offer utensils that not only highlight the beauty of the ingredients, but also add color to your special day or special time. Please enjoy to your heart's content the utensils that bring joy to our customers and create irreplaceable moments.

Kuikiri cuisine conveyed through space

The counter that fills the entire store highlights the style of Kuikiri cuisine in which “as much food as can be eaten is served while keeping an eye on how the customers are doing”. Cooking at the counter, from cooking to presentation, where no cheating is allowed, tests the true nature of the chef.

We put our sincerity and refined techniques into it. We will provide the best hospitality so that the relationships with our customers will last for many years to come.
