■ SORAIRO KITCHEN in TENSHIBA PARK
I was intrigued by the special offer for those holding tickets from the Vermeer exhibition at the Osaka City Museum, so I decided to visit this restaurant in the Tennoji area. It was a weekday lunchtime, and the clientele consisted mostly of housewives. The atmosphere was perfect for enjoying a chat over tea.
Every menu item comes with a bread buffet, allowing you to enjoy unlimited bread of various types in small sizes, so you can savor many flavors. For an additional ¥500, you can also add a tea set, which is free with a ticket from the Vermeer exhibition. What a great deal!
For lunch, I chose the tender beef tendon stew with plenty of onion flavor, served with a choice of homemade dressing. The curry options included roast pork with thick slices of pork and a seafood curry with a mix of shrimp, squid, scallops, and clams. I opted for the mild Massan curry, which was not spicy at all and quite easy to eat. The first bite had a hint of sweetness from coconut.
I highly recommend adding the tea set for ¥500. The friendly staff will serve you hot tea from a selection of 30 varieties. I couldn't try them all, but I enjoyed the MLESNA TEA, a premium black tea from pesticide-free cultivation in Sri Lanka.
The drink options also included various iced teas that you could help yourself to at the drink station. Each flavor had its unique taste and aroma, such as muscat grape, peach strawberry, pastel-colored birthday, milky tea, rose and peach, Kyoto Shijo scent, ripe apple, goddess's prayer, and New York orange.
Overall, SORAIRO KITCHEN in TENSHIBA PARK is a delightful spot for lunch or dinner, conveniently located near Tennoji Station. Don't miss out on the bread buffet and the tea set, which offer great value for money.
