Kiyozushi — Restaurant in Osaka

King of Mackerel.

Best mackerel I’ve ever had, expert preparation elevated it to become the highlight of an incredible evening.

The salt aged Bonito took center stage when the chef charred it over direct heat to create a smoky exterior which complimented the raw garlic stuffed interior perfectly.

Scallops in fresh ground wasabi accentuated the sweetness of both ingredients and left me wanting more.

The Toro was satisfying as always, but played second fiddle to the perfectly sourced Uni, which took over the show at the end - truly a little bite of heaven.

Service is Japanese only but don’t let that intimidate you. Walk in, ask for a seat and enjoy one of the best experiences...

The staff were super friendly and patient, we were late because we were traveling from Kyoto back to Osaka with our luggage’s and was delayed because of rain.

The food was also amazing, everything was good, especially the bonito which was smoked/briefly cooked just outside the restaurant. The only thing that was a pity was the last few items which were the nigiri(s), the sashimi was not the freshest cut, some has that muscle fibre that I think it could have been better. But nonetheless we enjoyed...

I was quite disappointed, perhaps my expectations were too high after having read the ratings. Cook was nice to us and tried his best (made us the show outside when flaming the 'bonito'), but food was OK-ish (nigiris and sushi were average quality) and the price is too high for what you get. They priced it as it would be an Okamase restaurant, but it's not, and the quality/service and atmosphere does not have anything to do. Sorry but I wouldn't repeat,...
