Osaka, Japan｜鮓直(すしなお)

I prefer the mackerel sushi here than the mackerel sushi in Kyoto. When I entered the store, I was greeted by a very nice and friendly host who welcomed me very politely, even though it was my first time there. It's completely different from Kyoto lol. At the same time, I was surprised at how clean and organized the kitchen was. Please eat the thin kelp on top at the same time. First of all, the fatty mackerel itself has a fresh taste. Also, mackerel sushi is made with a combination of non-glutinous rice and glutinous rice, so it is basically heavy and chewy, but compared to the Kyoto version, this sushi is lighter and easier to eat, as if each grain of rice is falling apart when you put it in your mouth. is. It is also distinctive that wasabi and seaweed are sandwiched between the mackerel and rice. Wasabi is not very spicy, has a light aroma, and has a sweet taste that brings out the flavor of the mackerel. I thought the seaweed was used to prevent the wasabi from transferring to the rice. If this is the case, I don't think anyone who doesn't like wasabi or children will have any concerns. Wow, it was delicious. They specialize in takeout and delivery, and they close as soon as they run out of rice cooked that day, so it's best to make a reservation by phone before going.

When my friends come to visit from overseas, I take out mackerel Matsumae sushi. If you make a reservation in advance by phone, you can pick it up without waiting. The service was very polite, and I made sure to make sure I didn't have any change.

I was introduced to this restaurant by the owner of a prestigious sushi restaurant in Ginza. This is mackerel sushi that I've never had before, both in taste and appearance, and I'm sure I'll come back again. I have never had boxed sushi with rice so fluffy before. A must if you come to Osaka!
