Sushiyoshi

Salmon topped with finely chopped cucumber; conger eel larger than its bed of vinegared rice, finished with a sansho leaf. Diners who have tried Sushiyoshi’s 10 pieces have noted these thoughtful touches to the nigiri. One review also mentions the crisp texture of chopped vegetables inside the omelette, followed by red miso soup with a savoury depth of fish. The meal lets diners explore the differences from one piece to the next, with the closing soup rounding things off.

The menu’s Gourmet Nigiri 10-piece set is described as a long-standing signature, featuring nigiri that reflects Osaka’s inventive approach. It is listed at 5,100 yen for both lunch and dinner. The specific pieces mentioned in reviews were part of this 10-piece course, though the selection may vary with the season and the day. By contrast, the Upper-Grade Nigiri 10-piece set, listed at 3,800 yen for lunch, focuses on seasonal fish prepared in the Edomae style. It is presented as a straightforward foundation course that gives care to the fish, rice, temperature and technique. The two options offer a choice between imaginative combinations and a closer focus on the craft of sushi itself.

For a meal that includes seasonal dishes as well as nigiri, consider the Sushi Omakase Course, combining food and sushi. It is listed at 8,800 yen for both lunch and dinner. The menu also features a 12,500-yen signature course that pairs seasonal premium ingredients and Edomae technique with Osaka-inspired ideas. There are options to suit different appetites and budgets. Diners who have ordered the Gourmet Nigiri course have described enjoying everything from the appetisers through the nigiri to the red miso soup; one reviewer noted that the pieces were already seasoned and needed no extra soy sauce. Rather than assuming every serving will be the same, the pleasure of Sushiyoshi’s 10 pieces lies in appreciating the individual touches of the day.

Lunch is served from 12 to 15, and dinner service begins at 18. Reservations are recommended for dinner, so consider booking ahead if you are planning an evening course.
