Experience the "traditional" craftsmanship at a long-established sushi restaurant in Osaka

Located in a corner of the Tenjinbashi-Suji shopping street in Osaka, "Shusui Sushi" is a long-established sushi restaurant that quietly serves sushi lunches at its small counter.

Conveniently located in a shopping street

Just a 1-minute walk from JR Osaka Loop Line's "Minamimorimachi" station, it is located in a small alley facing the Tenjinbashi-Suji shopping street. The exterior of the shop is plain, but the old, worn noren hanging in front of the store serves as a landmark. With excellent access, it is easily accessible from the office district.

Hospitality of nostalgic sushi chefs

Stepping into the store, you will find a nostalgic counter with about 8 seats. Only one chef is in charge of making and serving sushi here. Most of the customers are nearby office workers, and lunchtime is a popular time when they are likely to sell out.

Great value for money "recommended" sushi lunch

There is no menu. Only an omakase sushi lunch is available, where the chef will serve the sushi of the day according to his mood. With a special red soup, it's a great value at 800 yen. The sushi includes 7 pieces of sushi with delicate seasonal seafood on soft vinegar rice, along with 6 tekka maki. It's also a cool experience to dip the soy sauce yourself.

Leisurely time in a nostalgic space

Unlike the crowded tourist spots, this long-established sushi restaurant is loved by local residents. The main attraction is the opportunity to enjoy a leisurely meal while chatting with the head chef. Although it is not a shop targeted at tourists, it is a recommended hidden gem for those seeking authentic taste and space.

They are having bias to serve foreigner, they reject customer directly !!! Shocked me with different culture / attitude of Japanese, the lady so rude! You can try to be rejected if you would like to…good luck!!

I wandered in here randomly looking. There's no menu lol, so just asked for sushi, and the owner made it in front of me. Food was great, great atmosphere 👌 I didn't drink anything though cause I can't drink alcohol.

This is my first time visiting you. The lunch and red soup were very delicious and filled me up. Both the taste of the toppings and the rice were very satisfying. Recommended for individuals. The owner of the shop was nice and the atmosphere was great✨✨ I visited him several times after that! The soup is also great🌼*･

🐸 1 minute walk from Minamimorimachi Station Exit 5 A long-established sushi restaurant located in the alley of Tenjinbashisuji shopping street Lunch is left to you, so if you sit quietly, it will be served. 7 pieces of nigiri and 6 pieces of tekkamaki It also comes with akadashi with fish bits in it. At the counter there is a soy sauce pot unique to Osaka. Apply soy sauce to the toppings yourself using a brush. Tuna and salmon, yellowtail and yellowtail Well balanced and satisfying to eat So, how much do you think this is? It's an amazing price of 800 yen including tax! ………………………………………………………………… [Store name] Shutai Sushi @ [Area] Tenma/Minamimorimachi *Please check business hours, holidays, etc. before visiting. ………………………………………………………………… Instagram → @masayan.310

N O (に)

A nostalgic sushi restaurant with only a counter. The general manager was in charge of the lunch by himself, and most of the customers were male office workers. There is no guidance for lunch, so if there is a noren curtain on, you can have it and the chef will make it according to your preference. The rice was soft, the vinegar wasn't too strong and it was easy to eat, and both the sushi itself and the soup were delicious. Since the restaurant is run by one person, I don't think it's suitable for inbound tourists or customers who are having a good time for lunch.
