Genrokuzushi Flagship Shop — Restaurant in Higashiosaka

We found this sushi restaurant while biking home from Fuse. It's supposedly the first conveyor belt sushi restaurant in Japan.

The interior is quite small, and definitely gives off a Showa-era feel, but it's not uncomfortable at all. Though we were the 5th group in line, we only waited about 10 minutes before getting a seat. Our group only had 3 people though, so I imagine a larger group may not be able to sit together (it is quite small).

All of the sushi plates are 125 yen, which is really cheap when compared to other conveyor belt places like Sushiro and Kappazushi, and the flavour was still quite nice. Hot tea is provided free of charge, while beer and cold are offered for purchase.

I think this is a great restaurant for those looking for an authentic, Japanese sushi experience. The only reason I don't give this place a full 5 stars is that the interior could really use a face-lift. However, the great prices and atmosphere make it a must-see for anyone...

A fairly good, foreigner friendly conveyor belt sushi joint just of the Fuse station in Osaka. I knocked off a star because some of the sushi (a small percentage, really) seemed....dried out; but I am no sushi expert, and that could be how those particular plates are meant to look. There is also a slight air of chaos (not in a negative way, necessarily) when the place is near full. That aside, I enjoyed the food and drinks the three times I went here during my visit to Osaka (and the flat rate per plate is definitely a plus), the staff was always friendly and accommodating, and the general experience made for a nice break from the sweltering Osaka summer heat. I can recommend this spot to anyone visiting the area with a hankering for some good, uncomplicated sushi that will fill...
