The owner of NIHON GO! spent 8 years growing up in Westfield, New Jersey — a quiet town about an hour from Manhattan by train.
After moving back to Japan about 30 years ago, the owner has lived in Osaka ever since, and knows Minami inside out — including the great little restaurants that only locals go to.
We speak English
When the owner is in the bar, you can get help in English with the menu and ordering. Not sure which Japanese whisky or shochu to try? Just ask.

Looking for ramen after drinks, a place that stays open until morning, or a local favorite you won't find in guidebooks? After 30 years in Osaka, the owner is happy to point you in the right direction.
