Perfect Michelin-star experience
It’s a definitely a journey to a gastronomy world! There is a set with different fulfillment - striking appetizers, interesting main dishes with unusual ingredients combinations and awesome desserts (I can’t forget that one with a pear!). Sauces in every dish accomplish them in a high level. Separately I want to say “bravo” to Chef for not being afraid of experiences and combining different products.
For drinks you can choose sparkling, wine by glass/by bottle, beer and liquors. Juices and soft drinks are also available.
There are not so many tables, so I advise you to plan your visit in advance. Staff is polite and well-mannered, but not very talkative.

Difference definitely lives up to its name! Came here on a mellow Monday night with my partner. We were looking for a special dinner and are so happy we found this place. The menu states the food in simple ways yet we were continually surprised and intrigued by how unique, delicious, and beautiful each dish was. New ingredients we’ve never experienced were introduced to us and familiar flavors were expressed in new ways. The service was also impeccable. The staff were extremely professional, knowledgeable, attentive and kind.

A wonderful culinary experience. Starting from corn ice cream with corn soup ( absolutely delicious) to various combos of fish and pear that just work beautifully.
The food quality is absolutely top notch. There are quite a few dishes for lunch and we had fish, beef and pork in one lunch menu. The wine selection is good and the service is fast and friendly. For lovers of french cuisine id highly recommed this place.

Difference was an exceptional experience. I've been to 4 Michelin restaurants at this point and this meal was by far my favorite and best experience. The price is a great value for the meal and experience you receive, but price aside the food stands out above any other I have had. We did not have a "least favorite" dish in any of the courses, and each new dish surprised us. The service was outstanding and we enjoyed the wine recommendations greatly. Seeing other reviews mention entirely different food from what we had makes me want to come back for another fantastic experience when I am back in Osaka.

What is the best time to visit Difference

Osaka Prefecture

Good food if you're looking for French in Osaka. Rated at one Michelin star, Difference provides an excellent meal with good service. The restaurant itself is hard to find. Very understated entrance. The dining area is small, with just 4 tables (although there may be another dining area). Perfect for a quiet meal. They serve 12-14 course set menu. Each dish as relatively small, so I wasn't overly stuffed by the time the meal was complete. Just pleasantly full. The menu changes regularly. The meal itself was well prepared and the progression of flavors was quite nice and well thought out. The chef incorporated french tastes with japanese flavors to create a fun experience. Notable through the meal was liberal use of fruit flavors that gave a number of dishes a nice bright flavor. I think this is a restaurant worth trying in Japan.
