Ichibazushi at Dotonbori, Osaka

A compact spot with a distinctly Japanese atmosphere. The chefs are all seasoned veterans, and they can come across as a bit aloof, but if you approach the meal with an open mind you''''ll enjoy it. Service isn''''t the highlight, yet the sushi is noticeably fresh. Prices are about the same as at Endo Sushi.

A great place for sushi! I''''ve been a regular for three years, and the quality is outstanding for the price. I don''''t understand why some people complain about the wasabi – it''''s simply how sushi is traditionally enjoyed in Japan. Please don''''t compare the sushi here to what you might have tasted elsewhere.

Whenever I''''m in Osaka, this is my go‑to sushi spot. I first started visiting in 2014, when they were still in Shinsaibashi. They tend to use wasabi sparingly, but they always serve it politely…

I''''m almost tempted to give only one star so fewer people will come and I can skip the long lines for their amazing sushi! They catch fresh fugu and abalone for their sushi, and the seafood has no fishy odor. I''''ll be back tomorrow, you know!

The sushi here is excellent in both quality and variety. We always enjoy our meals, and the chefs are friendly and helpful. The restaurant only offers counter seating, which works well for groups of up to three, but larger parties may find it less convenient.
