Sushi restaurant • 5-chōme-13-23 Karita, Sumiyoshi Ward, Osaka, 558-0011, Japan
I tried to write an article with the following structure to convey the charm of this local individual-operated revolving sushi restaurant.
"Kaitenzushi Tora" stands in the back alleys of Sumiyoshi-ku, Osaka, as an individual-operated revolving sushi restaurant operated by the master himself. The hand-written recommended menu shines on the blackboard, with a row of seasonal seafood lined up.
With surprising price settings ranging from 120 yen to 200 yen, you'll be convinced by the freshness of the sushi and the plentiful arrangement. Especially, the yellowtail is twice as thick as the rice, a treat for the taste buds.
Stable supply of classic sushi ingredients such as tuna, tsubugai, ika, and unagi, but the deliciousness of buri, sweet shrimp, and sea bream is exceptional. The insistence on fresh ingredients is strong.
The restaurant has only counter seats, and orders are written on sticky notes and sent down the rail in the old-fashioned way. You are enveloped in a warm atmosphere as the staff with artisan spirit kindly serve homemade dishes.
It's an 8-minute walk from Sumiyoshi Koen Station. Since you cannot park in front of the restaurant, it's safe to use a nearby coin parking lot.
