🍣 Sushi restaurants in Osaka

12 well-rated sushi spots within a 15-minute walk of central Osaka, 2 of them open past midnight. Regular hours from Google; refreshed daily on demand. Confirm special hours before visiting.

Sushi in Osaka ranges from conveyor-belt (kaiten) chains where plates start around ¥120, to counter restaurants where the chef decides what you eat (omakase) for ¥10,000 and up. For a first night, a kaiten shop or a mid-range counter with a set menu is the easiest entry.

Sushi restaurants close earlier than bars — many by 22:00 — so eat first and drink after. The list below shows today's hours so you can tell which are still serving.

Local specialty: Kushikatsu. Osaka-style deep-fried skewers of meat, vegetables, and seafood. Served with a shared communal dipping sauce — double-dipping is strictly forbidden. Shinsekai's Daruma chain or the dozens of independent shops along Janseicho street.

Sushi restaurants in Osaka: common questions

How much does sushi cost in Osaka?

Conveyor-belt sushi runs ¥1,500–¥3,000 per person. A set (moriawase) at a counter restaurant is typically ¥3,000–¥6,000 at lunch and dinner. Omakase at a reputed counter in Osaka starts around ¥10,000 and can exceed ¥30,000.

Do I need a reservation for sushi in Osaka?

Kaiten (conveyor) shops don't take reservations — just queue. Counter restaurants with under ten seats generally require one, often days ahead; hotels can call for you. Mid-range places with set menus usually accept walk-ins early in the evening.

What's the etiquette at a sushi counter?

Eat each piece in one bite, soon after it is served. Dip fish-side down, lightly, and don't add wasabi to soy sauce at a counter (the chef already seasoned it). Hands or chopsticks are both fine. Ordering "omakase" means the chef chooses; "okonomi" means you order piece by piece.
