A hidden gem sushi restaurant in Minami. I was recommended by the owner of my favorite Mexican bar and went there with my best friend. Usually, I would immediately start eating sushi, but this time I followed the recommendations and tried different dishes. I even tried crab, which I usually don't like, but the highlight was the ikura. It was amazingly delicious with its texture, sweetness, and flavor. I also requested for bachi and karasumi, as well as nishikiyaki, and they were all worth it. The bachi and karasumi were rare delicacies full of umami, and the nishikiyaki was a perfect way to enhance the already delicious ingredients. Then we had some sushi. The nodoguro requested by my friend was unbelievably good, and the toro tekka I ordered was a melt-in-your-mouth experience. I never found the fatty taste overwhelming. The thought that struck me at this point was that, contrary to what I recently discussed with my friends, red vinegar rice is not the best. The red vinegar rice is tasty, but the rice at Taisuke's place is different and the best. It complements the flavor of the fish perfectly and has a delicate balance. It was truly the best sushi restaurant I've ever been to, a well-deserved treat for both of us.

The dishes were all wonderfully delicious and the chef was also a wonderful person! I was able to savor the flavors. The sushi rice was not vinegared, so it lacked a punch, but the fresh toppings were top-notch! Personally, I found it delicious. The shirako and snow crab were also great. The rich tuna was also good!! I would like to visit again.

I have known the name Sushi Taisuke in Shinsaibashi for a long time. I heard that they have been open for 13 years already! I tried the omakase course with appetizers and nigiri. The firefly squid, oysters, crab, and fugu shirako appetizers were all delicious! The nigiri sushi had white rice and was easy to eat. The ginger was not too sour and was delicious with a sweet vinegar flavor. The nigiri included flounder, saury, swordtip squid, mackerel, marinated tuna (perfectly tender and flavorful), medium fatty tuna, clam, ark shell, scallop, red snapper, shrimp. After enjoying the nigiri, we added a few more items. The chef was friendly, the atmosphere was calm, and we could enjoy our meal slowly. The price was a bit high, but the quality was excellent. Thank you for the feast!

Taisuke was taken to a sushi restaurant in Minami by a gourmet senior who insisted it was the best place. Taisuke was skeptical at first, but as soon as he entered the restaurant, he felt the warmth from the friendly owners. He decided to order a la carte instead of the omakase menu, and enjoyed dishes like nori, firefly squid from Toyama Bay, vinegar-marinated oysters, seared ark shell, grilled golden snapper, hairy crab, tamago nigiri, saury, horse mackerel, horse mackerel, sweet shrimp, marinated sea bream, Minami tuna (medium fatty tuna), Minami tuna (marinated), eel, and fresh shrimp roll. The sushi rice stood out for its use of only rice vinegar, not red vinegar, and the texture was just right. The temperature of the rice varied depending on the topping, showing the chef's attention to detail. Overall, Taisuke was impressed with the balance and flavors, and decided to become a regular at this restaurant.

This is my favorite sushi restaurant in Minami. There are popular places like Jinsei and Higuchi, but I like this place because it's easy to make a reservation. I like that I can order a little appetizer and then just enjoy the nigiri sushi. My favorite sushi places are ones where I can mainly eat nigiri sushi.

The general's personality is great! The atmosphere is great! The sushi is great too! It was really delicious!

A sushi restaurant run by a lovely couple where you can relax and enjoy your meal. They recommend the best ingredients of the day, making the dining experience enjoyable. It's not just about sushi, you can also enjoy various small dishes, perfect for those who love sake! I especially enjoyed the "bachi-ko," which is the ovary of the flying fish. It's really delicious! I recommend everyone to try it out!

Sushi Taisuke, selected as the 6400th milestone, has been operating for 11 years in a drinking establishment building in Soemon-cho. If I were to list three good points about this place, it would be: 1) The atmosphere created by the master and the hostess greatly enhances the taste of the sushi. It is the number one place to relax. 2) The selection of ingredients seems to consider the balance between price and quality. This is different from the approach of using only high-priced top-quality ingredients to make delicious sushi. 3) Delicious sushi backed by solid skills. I stumbled upon a photo of the sushi from this restaurant on a sushi blog and decided to visit. The chances of stumbling upon this restaurant while walking in Soemon-cho would be one in a hundred million for me. Since there is no signboard on the street, one could easily pass by the drinking establishment building without noticing the sushi restaurant. Even if one were to notice it, the idea of such delicious sushi being served there wouldn't come to mind. While it is the usual style to talk with the master, how enjoyable the conversation is ultimately depends on the person's personality and compatibility. I have visited many sushi restaurants, but there are not many places like this. The quality of the sushi? Sushi is not something to be analyzed while eating. Some people may enjoy analyzing the sushi - the vinegar, the rice, the toppings, the garnishes, etc. Recently, I have come to realize that there are more important things than that. There are people who love analyzing sushi, so let them handle it. However, analysis is ultimately based on the five senses, so there is no correct answer. It could be influenced by the person's level of experience, or they may simply be regurgitating what they read in magazines or elsewhere as their own analysis or opinion. From the 6301st to the 6400th milestone, this restaurant shone the brightest, so I am reporting it here. I recommend visiting the restaurant, enjoying a blissful time while talking with the master. For those who want to try something like this, it is an absolute recommendation. Which is more suitable for oneself, a Michelin-starred sushi restaurant in Kitashinchi or this restaurant? I have found a good restaurant. Master, I will visit again. If more people visit the restaurant based on this review, the master can make confident purchases and serve even more delicious sushi, creating a positive spiral. Finally reached the 6400th milestone. Thank you for your continued support. *Otoshi: Jun-sai 1) Madai 2) Kensaki Ika 3) Kohada 4) Akami 5) Chu-toro 6) Nihama-guri 7) Kisu Konbu-jime 8) Botan Ebi Salt-steamed 9) Hokkigai Aburi 10) Namahokkigai 11) Aji 12) Geso 13) Shako 14) Akamutsu Aburi 15) Shirauo 16) Megane-gi 17) Negi-toro (in the style of Komatsu Yasuke) *Tamago-yaki (#6400)

Osaka, visited the sushi restaurant "Taisuke" near Kintetsu Nipponbashi Station with a friend. We didn't have a specific restaurant in mind, so we decided to just walk around and see what we find. My friend seemed reluctant to walk too much, so we ended up entering a random restaurant nearby. It was a small place inside a building, without prices listed, so it took some courage to enter, but my friend was eager to eat, so we went in. Surprisingly, when I searched on Tabelog, the restaurant was listed with reviews, and it seemed quite popular. The staff, including the chef, his wife, and a male apprentice, were very friendly and made the experience enjoyable. The best part was that the restaurant was completely non-smoking. We enjoyed sake, wine (half bottles), and had a great time chatting with the chef about food and drinks. The pace of the meal was fast, and I ended up getting quite tipsy towards the end. We tried dishes recommended by the chef, such as marinated golden snapper and grilled sardines, which were delicious. The atmosphere was cozy, and we had a great time discussing various topics with the chef. The food was excellent, including dishes like mackerel, young yellowtail, tuna, spring snapper, squid, boiled conger eel, and homemade omelette. Overall, it was a delightful dining experience, and I look forward to visiting again in the future.

Minami is quiet on the north side from Soemon-cho to the other side of the bridge from Dotonbori. Recently, the catchers in Dotonbori have become more aggressive, making it even more unpleasant to go to the drinking district. However, on this day, the destination was already decided, so I pushed forward while ignoring the several young girls trying to lure me in. The ordinary restaurants in Minami must be going through a tough time. The owner who became my conversation partner was still young. Well, young for a middle-aged man. He trained at a sushi restaurant in Minami for a long time, then opened his own shop in a slightly different style. The shop has a small counter-only interior and a welcoming atmosphere. I started with a dish of shredded crab meat as an appetizer. The pace of sake consumption quickly picked up. I had an omakase sushi set of 8 pieces. The rice was firm, allowing the flavor of the toppings to shine. This sushi reflects the unique style of this shop. I will visit again if I have the chance. Thank you for the meal.

The road from Sushi Aigohashi to Soemon-cho is lined with high-quality sushi restaurants such as Suehirozushi, Morioka, and Sushi Taisuke. Today, I chose Taisuke, which I believe is best to visit when it first opens. This is my second visit. The fish is sourced from Kuromon Market. Today's selection includes sea bream, saury with a hint of shiso, scallop, needle squid with a net-like texture, fresh Indian tuna, horse mackerel, white shrimp, sweet shrimp, well-prepared shrimp, grilled throat of blackthroat seaperch, hikarimono, katsuo, and salted and grilled eel. The meal ends with miso soup with clams and pickled bettara. The atmosphere was relaxing, and I enjoyed my time at this hidden gem sushi restaurant, Sushi Taisuke. The owner, who trained at Sushi Nakamura, opened this restaurant six years ago. The menu is limited, and I opted for mostly nigiri sushi. The sea bream was delicious, and the needlefish was nicely marinated in kombu. The grilled leatherfish had a unique seasoning, and the boiled abalone was delightful. The fresh triggerfish from Aichi Prefecture had a tangy flavor, and the tuna belly was rich. The meal ended with fatty tuna and red miso soup with clams. The quality of the sushi was high, and the cozy atmosphere made it a great place for everyday dining. The total cost was reasonable for the experience.

One word: delicious. The appetizers were diverse and tasty. And then, onto the nigiri! Absolutely delicious! The temperature of the rice changes depending on the topping. This was a first for me! This is what I've been looking for! The chef's passion for sushi really came through! Thank you for the meal.

I used to love sushi so much, but recently I've been feeling a bit squeamish about raw fish. However, I was taken to "Sushi Taisuke" and my love for sushi has been reignited! Everything I tried was so fresh!! The octopus sashimi was especially amazing! It had a unique texture and was so fresh! The eel droppings... so fatty and delicious too! The seasonal cold chawanmushi was outstanding! It was so delicious! It's a dish you see a lot in sushi restaurants during this season, but this one was by far the best. It had a refreshing summer vegetable jelly on top, with a nice crunchy texture. The friendly and charming master chef adds to the wonderful dining experience. The restaurant is always full, but it has a pleasant atmosphere. It may be a bit hard to find, but the regulars seem to know about it. To be able to enjoy such delicious raw fish even in the summer... what a delight! If you love sushi, this place is a must-visit!

It's been a while since I visited Taisuke at Minami Sushi. Minami is quiet due to the coronavirus, and Taishuke is taking a break until the 20th. Eating out in Minami feels a bit guilty, but we enjoyed a variety of delicious sushi starting with some light appetizers. Thank you for the feast.

I came to Sushi Taisuke in Minami for a Valentine's Day return gift request for sushi. It is my favorite sushi restaurant in Minami. The wind was strong this week, so there was less fish available, but we started with nodoguro, isobusshell, firefly squid salad, karasumi, steamed tai head, matsuba crab nigiri, followed by tai, aji, botan ebi, hokkigai, maguro zuke, sweet shrimp, konbu jime, saury, kobashira simmered, clam sprout, negi harinuka, and eel. We had quite a lot of dishes.
