Hidden inside the new Grand Chef’s Valley, Chef’s Table O offers a rare opportunity to experience some of Japan’s most sought-after restaurants with the celebrated chefs taking over the counter for just a few days. This exclusive, members-only dining experience invites top culinary talent, ranging from award-winning kappo chefs to cult favorite sushi masters. Each rotation unveils an entirely new omakase menu, shaped by the chef’s signature style and seasonal ingredients.

The opening of Grand Green Osaka in March 2025 marked a significant shift in the city’s urban landscape. Built on the site of a former freight terminal just north of JR Osaka Station, the large-scale redevelopment introduced a multi-use complex of hotels, retail spaces, and dining destinations. As the district repositions itself as a hub for tourism and culture, its gourmet section, Grand Chef’s Valley, has emerged as a major foodie attraction.

Occupying the ground floor of the South Building, Grand Chef’s Valley is home to a collection of acclaimed restaurants, including Japanese restaurant Noguchi and Sushi Uraki. Chef’s Table O, however, is the most elusive of them all. Inviting some of the country’s top chefs for a limited omakase experience, the restaurant has quickly become a standout in Osaka’s culinary scene.

For the opening week, Chef’s Table O welcomed Hiroshi Sasaki, the acclaimed chef behind Kyoto’s three-star Gion Sasaki, who crafted an elegant tasting menu for the occasion. The upcoming calendar features an impressive mix of restaurants: Kuromori, a refined Chinese restaurant from Sendai; Teruzushi from Kitakyushu; Kyoto’s Miyagawacho Hotta; the innovative Italian restaurant, Libro Verde; high-end Chinese cuisine Mei; and Yakiniku Hormone Dokoro Osamu-chan from local Sakai. From Milan, the head chef of Ristorante Tokuyoshi is also slated to take the counter.
