Frommer's Review

Whether you are sightseeing in Dotombori or viewing Kabuki, this restaurant, in a lovely, typical Japanese setting in the basement of the Shochikuza Theater, is a good pick. A microbrewery (¥450/$3.75/£1.90 for a glass of light or dark beer), Tachibana specializes in tofu, with tofu included in most of the set meals. There's no English-language menu, but a changing daily lunch and the tempura teishoku are affordable and delicious. You can see famous Kabuki actors dining here, but how could you recognize them without their makeup?

Another Tachibana (tel. 06/4796-5770) is located in the basement of the Hilton Hotel in Umeda, open Monday through Friday 11am to 3pm and 5 to 11pm and Saturday 11am to 11pm.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
