Saheisushi honten — Restaurant in Osaka

This place was very authentic. I'm glad I came across it.

It's seems to be run by a family and has a very relaxed and homely feel to the establishment.

Unlike many places in Japan however, the staff and customers love having conversation and making fun amongst each other. A little Japanese will go a long way here because of that.

However, the menu on the counter is also in English, and non Japanese speaking foreigners while I was there seemed to be enjoying themselves and chatting to the locals.

This place attracts a older crowd. 55+

Sushi can be a bit wasabi heavy, so just gesture the "master" for no or little wasabi if this...

At first glance, seemed a little cramped and more like a hole in the wall with an older crowd and some smokers but... do not get discouraged!! They have an English menu and a very nice grandma working there to take orders and help with cooking. There's a sushi set for around 500 yen or so, and it literally upgraded my sushi palette!!! So delicious and worth it!! Just had to get used to the occasional smoking indoors which seems quite common...

Great sushi made to order. Limited seating area. There is an English menu. They do a great lunch deal till 3pm. The chef will ask if you're ok with wasabi. He adds a little wasabi under the sashimi type sushi. There were only locals whilst I visited which was a good sign. They don't speak English but hand signals were good enough. They were very friendly and used...
