Osaka, Japan｜虎寿司 淀川店

Delicious! Sushi is served in rather big-cut size (though it used to be much bigger!) while rice is relatively small.

Delicious food, a variety of nigiri to choose from. You can try fatty tuna and ootoro here. Beer, ocha and sake for drinks. English menu is also available. Prices are super affordable for such an amazing taste and quality.

My travel buddy and I ventured out from our hotel to find some sushi, and after summoning our courage (I only speak a little Japanese so I do my best as translator when we're not with our tour group guide), we peeked inside the sushi shop and was warmly greeted by the staff. So, the sushi is good of course! We were looking for a more down to earth, traditional sushi bar experience, and got all that a bunch of laughs too. The main chef was a very personable gentleman and did his best to communicate with us (and used a translator app when each of us didn't know how to say something in the opposite language). The regulars seem to be a pretty decent crowd too. One lady was so helpful and made a great recommendation on what to order, and she absolutely nailed it. I hope if I'm near the courtyard marriott hotel shin-Osaka station location next time I come to Osaka, that I'll be able to make it out to this sushi shop again.
