Guu Tramasa will keep the concept of “For your daily re-charging spot” of all Guu Izakaya and introduce Osaka street food to Vancouver locals.

Osaka is the second largest city in Japan after Tokyo. During the Edo period (1603-1867), Osaka was known as the “kitchen of the nation” and the center of commerce in Japan, where rice and other specialty products were traded. With this background, Osaka’s unique culinary culture has developed, and the region is still crowded with tourists from Japan and abroad, who enjoy both traditional dishes and inexpensive street food.

The two staff members who manage Tramasa are originally from Osaka, which led to the creation of Guu Toramasa based on the theme of Osaka’s food culture.

I had dinner here with 3 university friends and two of our kids and we had a great experience. We had made a reservation in advance and got the nice large booth. The servers were attentive when we wanted them but let us take our time with the menu and enjoying the delicious food. We ordered a mix of appies, smaller plates, and yakisoba, along with drinks. Everything we got was delicious: the omelette appie, the black sesame green beans, the smoked salmon, the eggplant, the tataki, the yakisoba, the karaage chicken, and the baked broccoli (my daughter, 10, was a big fan). The white sangria was really tasty too. There was an appetizer special and it was fun to try a number of different dishes that way. My daughter enjoyed the yakisoba, tataki, green beans, chicken, and green beans, and seemed to eat a lot more than usual (maybe because she was able to eat at her own pace over an hour while us grown-ups caught up. I’m planning on taking my husband sometime soon since my daughter and I and our friends enjoyed it so much.
