Osaka is set to welcome a vibrant new culinary destination as the ‘R’ RIVERSIDE GRILL & BEER GARDEN opens its doors on March 1, 2026. Located within the beautiful rose gardens of Nakanoshima Park, this unique venue promises an immersive experience featuring Oriental BBQ inspired menus that will intrigue your palate and elevate your dining experience.

Transforming Riverside Dining

Under the management of Zetton Inc., a Tokyo-based company known for its innovative approach to food and community initiatives, the grill spot aims to bring a breath of fresh air to outdoor dining in the city. Visitors can anticipate a sumptuous menu filled with dishes that harness the rich flavors of Asian spices and herbs. In addition to enjoying BBQ by the riverside, guests will have the opportunity to indulge in a variety of curated takeout options designed for hassle-free picnics.

The Delight of 'Oriental BBQ'

A Menu to Tantalize Your Senses

The restaurant will showcase a rich selection of dishes including Indonesian-style satay made with lamb, spicy Sriracha sauce originating from Thailand, and a variety of herb-infused accompaniments, such as Java Chili Potatoes and Cajun Shrimp. These dishes not only promise to ignite your taste buds but are also perfectly paired with a refreshing beer. The space itself, enveloped by the serene environment of Nakanoshima Park, enhances the overall dining experience, providing guests with an escape from the hustle and bustle of urban life.
