The biggest highlight is the new project 'Le Chef du Mois' (Chef's Dish of the Month) supervised by Yasushi Karato, executive chef of the Lumiere Group and a French master who advocates 'vegetable gastronomy'.

This project aims to showcase this unique Osaka spirit and promote new culinary culture.
