We were featured in the above media.

Rooots Nakanoshima is a culinary venture established in Osaka by chef Seiji Nakano as a new challenge. After a six-month trial period starting January 2024, the restaurant will officially launch in July 2024.

The cuisine is "borderless and innovative." Aiming for a new fusion, Kenta Kakihara, with 11 years of experience in Italy, including as head chef at the two-starred "duomo" in Ragusa, and further experience as sous-chef at the one-star "Agli Amici Rovinj" in Croatia, has been appointed as the head chef. The menu is a collaborative creation by chefs Nakano and Kakihara, offering creative dishes that transcend genres, based on their training in French and Italian cuisine, while highlighting Japanese ingredients.

With a selection of over 500 wines, including grand vins and rare collections, guests can choose from our glass-enclosed walk-in cellar.

Please come and taste the new world envisioned by Seiji Nakano and Kenta Kakihara.

*Note: Mr. Seiji Nakano is usually based at the French restaurant "NAKADO" in Hiroshima. At Rooots Nakanoshima, Mr. Nakano supervises while Mr. Kakihara serves as the chef.

Rooots Nakanoshima has been awarded the BRONZE MEDAL AWARD at the JAPANESE CUISINE “MASTERS” HONOR PROGRAM.
