Note: My score takes into account various factors, not just the taste of the food, but also the chef's personality, cost performance, and more.【Reservation】Made a reservation via OMAKASE.【Dining Style】Solo.【Dishes Ordered and Prices, Especially Delicious Dishes】I had the sushi course for JPY 44,000 and half a serving of Japanese sake, totaling JPY 46,000 for one person. Many might find JPY 44,000 for a sushi course in Osaka quite expensive. However, this restaurant uses high-quality tuna and offers many dishes featuring fatty tuna, making this price quite reasonable. Although the quality of tuna can vary during this season, the tuna I had here was exceptional. I suspect they use well-preserved winter tuna that has been frozen. The rice is seasoned with white vinegar, perfectly complementing the toppings. The combination of the rice and toppings created a flavor that truly embodies "this is sushi." Everything was wonderful, but the dishes I found particularly delicious today were the thinly sliced fatty tuna, conger eel, bonito, fatty tuna, marinated tuna, sea urchin, sweet shrimp, and three types of hosomaki.- Thinly Sliced Fatty Tuna → A specialty of this restaurant. The balance of fat in the tuna is excellent, providing a melt-in-your-mouth texture and rich flavor.- Conger Eel → Skillfully filleted right in front of me, served with the skin lightly grilled. The filleting technique was impressive, allowing me to enjoy the delicate flavor of the conger eel without any bone concerns.- Bonito → Smoked to add a fragrant aroma, enhancing the richness of the bonito. The balance of aroma and flavor was outstanding, making it very enjoyable.- Fatty Tuna → The acidity of the rice and the high-quality fat of the tuna blend together, creating a different deliciousness compared to the thinly sliced version.- Marinated Tuna → Marinating the red meat enhances its natural flavor, allowing me to appreciate the quality of the tuna even more.- Sea Urchin → Creamy texture with a strong taste and sweetness of the sea urchin. There were no off-flavors, making it very delicious.- Sweet Shrimp → Perfectly cooked. Personally, this was one of the best preparations of sweet shrimp I've had. The texture and sweetness were exquisite, deserving the term "delicious."- Three Types of Hosomaki (Fatty Tuna, Tuna with Pickled Radish, and Kanpyo) → The hosomaki with fatty tuna pairs excellently with the high-quality tuna and the aroma of the seaweed. The tuna with pickled radish complements the fat of the tuna with its saltiness and texture. The kanpyo roll had a classic flavor, making it enjoyable until the end.【Staff Service and Response】The chef has a friendly demeanor. Being a graduate of Jinsei Academy, he is also a baseball enthusiast. If you know a lot about baseball, you’ll likely have a great conversation with him.【Atmosphere of the Restaurant】The interior has the feel of a long-established sushi restaurant. With only six counter seats, the proximity to the chef allows for a close-up view of the craftsmanship while enjoying sushi at a leisurely pace.【Cost Performance】High cost performance.【Desire to Revisit】I would like to visit again.
