The story
Il Luogo di Takeuchi is an Italian restaurant at 5 Chome-1-26 Fukushima, Fukushima Ward, Osaka. The Michelin Bib Gourmand it received in 2026 recognises cooking that is good in quality and fair in value.
The owner chef trained at respected restaurants before opening his own. His aim is simple: good food that leaves guests feeling better in body and mind. Each morning he visits the market himself to choose seasonal fish and shellfish. Vegetables arrive directly from contracted farms.
The dining room seats 18, about a five-minute walk from Fukushima Station. Gambero Rosso gave the restaurant two forks in 2021. The same group runs a meat bar and a wine bar in the neighbourhood, plus a Umeda venue that serves Naniwa Kuro beef from Osaka.
