On November 26, 2022, I visited the restaurant after a 4-month break since my last visit in July this year. I came to enjoy delicious sushi. Moreover, last time I had the "Special Course," but this time there is the "Premium Course." For just under 4000 yen, I upgraded from special to premium, which I am really looking forward to. The restaurant is located near Umeda, around Sonezaki (along Shinmido-suji), where you take the elevator to the 6th floor. The interior of the restaurant has a very calming and traditional Japanese atmosphere, suitable for important occasions like business meetings or dates. The "Premium Course" I ordered consists of carefully selected fresh seasonal sushi and exquisite dishes, including tempura. The course includes appetizers, sashimi, soup, a small bowl of sea urchin, salmon roe, and caviar, sushi, tempura, fried conger eel, steamed abalone with liver sauce, more sushi, rolls, red miso soup, seasonal dessert, and green tea. Sitting down, I felt excited and eager. We started with a toast, and I had an Asahi Dry Premium beer for 880 yen (tax included), which was reasonably priced and had a creamy foam in the clean glass. As expected from a restaurant that has won the Michelin award for 8 consecutive years. Now, let's start with the food. The appetizer included 5 varieties, such as mullet roe, reflecting the changing season to autumn. It was truly impressive. The chef then introduced us to the ingredients of the day, all fresh and shining. The first sushi was a "Beardfish" that we had seen earlier. It was amazing! The second was a "Horse Mackerel," with perfect fat content and texture. The third was a "Yellowtail," with excellent fat content and sweetness. The fourth was a "Skipjack Tuna," which was exceptionally delicious, with an indescribable texture. Following the sushi, we had a steamed egg custard, a specialty dish with autumn salmon and salmon roe. It was refreshing and delicious. The main dish, tempura, featured prawn tempura with seasonal vegetables, which was incredibly tasty. The fried conger eel was plump and flavorful, while the steamed abalone with liver sauce was a delicacy that left us in awe. The second half of the sushi (4 pieces) included a "Live Scallop" topped with salmon roe and caviar, which was undeniably delicious. Overall, the meal was a delightful experience, with each dish impressing us with its quality and taste.

This was my first visit and I had the top-class course meal. Not only the sushi, but also the tempura and other dishes were the most delicious I have ever had among the sushi restaurants I have visited. The tempura, in particular, had a perfect crispy texture, lightness, and amazing aroma. I was surprised by the sweetness of the scallop tempura. The fried conger eel had a crispy exterior and a soft, fluffy interior, with a broth that was so delicious I could drink it all. The moment I put the conger eel in my mouth, a smile spread across my face. The sushi consisted of 8 pieces, which was a bit less, but each piece, whether it was the fatty saury, gizzard shad, tuna belly, sea bream, large scallop, or shrimp, had an outstanding deliciousness that made it hard to choose the best one. The saury that day was of excellent quality, thick and fatty with an amazing aroma. Even the dessert fruits were sweet and delicious. With sushi courses close to 20,000 yen, sometimes there are too many dishes that make you too full, or some that are not so good, but this restaurant had just the right amount and everything was delicious, making it a wonderful course meal.

I was excited to visit a Michelin-starred restaurant, but the evening course dishes were neither outstanding nor disappointing. I must admit that I was engrossed in conversation, but I wish there had been a standout dish that really impressed me. Overall, it was a good restaurant to visit, but I was hoping for something more memorable if I were to return.

I had the Edo-style sushi course at a red vinegar sushi restaurant for lunch. The chef chose the ingredients for me, and they were all delicious and in season. The seating was in a private room with a nice atmosphere. The portion size was a bit small, so I ordered an extra Tekka Maki. The course was very cost-effective. The alcohol was a bit pricey.

The other day, I was on a business trip in Osaka and I had a set meal at Sushi Yokota in Umeda with a friend. There were too many varieties to list them all, but each one was delicious, and the portions were just right. Even if you have a small appetite, you can enjoy it. It had been a while since I had such delicious sushi! I definitely want to go back. #UmedaSushi #Yokota #NaniwaGourmet #OsakaGourmet #Michelin #WideVariety

The daytime banquet course was excellent, with the toro and squid not being very tasty, but the lean tuna, anago, scallops, and flounder were delicious. The tempura was also all good. The course portion was generous and I left feeling full. The private rooms are convenient and have a welcoming atmosphere, making it easy to use casually. For this price, I would expect a bit more of an impressive experience.

I visited the restaurant for my master's birthday. Everything was delicious!! Among them, the sea urchin and salmon roe rice bowl, and the sushi with golden eye snapper were particularly delicious. The tempura was also great, with the shrimp being plump and the conger eel being fluffy, and the fatty tuna sashimi was also delicious. We had children with us, so we requested a table seat, but it was a bit disappointing that the male staff members bringing the dishes had quiet voices and we couldn't hear what they were saying. It was written as a 1-hour course, but it took about 1 and a half hours to bring the dishes. A slightly faster pace would have been better. Finally, they also brought out a dessert plate, making it a wonderful anniversary.

I met up with a friend I hadn't seen in a long time for a meal, and since they love sushi, we decided to go to Yokota-san. The restaurant had a long counter with private booths separated by partitions, offering a view of the city of Umeda through the window. I opted to sit at the counter. The sushi was delicious, and the other dishes were also very good. The food was served one by one in between courses. The set menu we ordered had a lot of dishes, so if you don't eat a lot, you might want to go for a set with fewer items. The chefs and staff were very friendly and we had a great time.

We enjoyed sushi and Tempura Ryori course at this restaurant. We used a private room near the entrance and had a pleasant meal with good weather. The staff were very attentive and it made us happy. The taste was great, and the dishes were carefully designed, making it easy to take photos! Each dish was meticulously prepared, which was really nice. They had two types of pickled ginger to choose from. The red snapper and sea urchin were amazing! The scallops were large and delicious! The red miso soup was a special dish at the end. I was excited throughout the meal, waiting for each dish! I was on a business trip to Osaka, but I definitely want to go back again. - Appetizer - Soup - 4 pieces of sushi - Chawanmushi - Tempura Ryori - Fried conger eel - 3 pieces of sushi - Red miso soup - Seasonal dessert - Matcha

Four friends visited Yokocho in Tokyo, which is famous for tempura. They were curious and decided to visit Ototenjin. The interior was nice, with private rooms available, but sushi was only served at the counter. They opted for the best course at 22,000 yen. The abalone with liver sauce was delicious. The tempura was cooked perfectly. The total bill was around 29,000 yen. For that price, they expected a bit more of an impressive experience.

Visited on a public holiday night. There were about 3 other groups present, surprisingly not too crowded. We were seated at the counter and served smoothly by a young-looking staff member. They seemed to always be looking for work due to the excess staff, which made the service very efficient but also made us feel constantly watched...lol. The meal started with an appetizer, followed by various dishes like steamed egg custard, sushi, spring mountain vegetables tempura, and fried conger eel. We also had a second round of sushi. The rice was on the smaller side, making it feel like we could eat more. The tempura was quite generous, so the amount was just right. Thank you for the meal. The photos do not show all the dishes in the course.

Once the owner mentioned that it seemed "kind of mediocre" when I said I wanted to try Yoko Teda's place, I became more intrigued. Despite the fact that the Tokyo main branch has earned one Michelin star, there are occasional harsh reviews on Google Maps. So, I decided to go for a solo lunch to see for myself. The majority of negative reviews were about the service and atmosphere, but I found the young male staff on the floor to be reserved yet refreshing. The female staff were attentive and courteous. The chef was also very meticulous. Hmm, maybe it depends on the staff working that day? If so, I kind of wanted to meet the condescending male staff mentioned in some reviews, haha. The taste didn't blow me away, but it wasn't bad either. The vinegar rice was a bit too large, so I thought asking for smaller portions might be better. The tempura was simply delicious. It was a shame it wasn't piping hot since I wasn't seated at the counter, but the freshly fried tempura was still tasty. However, I felt a bit rushed when I entered at 1 PM and was handed the bill as the last customer by 2 PM once I finished my course. Well, it's lunchtime so I guess it's understandable. The location is convenient, so I would like to drop by again if the opportunity arises. Since there was only a set course for lunch, I would like to try the tempura à la carte at the counter in the evening. Oh, and there were a bit too many appetizers and some dishes resembled New Year's feast items, which was a bit disappointing. The abalone liver sauce over vinegar rice was delicious. The chawanmushi had a lot of ingredients.

I went to "Sushi Yokota" in Umeda. I had the sushi and tempura course for 22,000 yen per person. The sea urchin and shrimp were personally the best! However, the sushi rice was falling apart and the service staff seemed inexperienced, which was surprising considering the price. If they are charging that much, I would expect better attention to detail. Overall, the food was very beautifully presented.

I knew there was a stylish Italian restaurant downstairs where I often pass by, but I didn't know there was also a restaurant upstairs. It turned out to be a sushi restaurant run by a tempura shop. We had pre-booked a course, so we just drank and ate without having to choose. The staff explained each dish, which was nice. The appetizer wasn't particularly noteworthy, but the miso soup was delicious and soothing. The uni, ikura, and caviar bowl was surprising with rice included. Even though I'm not a big fan of uni or ikura, they tasted great. Various types of sushi were served, with a red vinegar shari that I usually don't like, but it was well-balanced and not overpowering. My personal favorites were the golden eye snapper and uni. The tempura in the middle was exceptionally delicious, perfectly fried. It's a shame my photo data got corrupted and I couldn't save the pictures. The owner was friendly and engaging, making it a delicious and enjoyable experience.

The sushi was delicious but did not exceed expectations. It was a budget-friendly lunch, so there were no premium toppings like tuna, salmon, or shrimp. It mainly consisted of white fish. Overall, the red miso soup at the end was the most delicious and memorable. The service was generally smooth and good. However, it was disappointing when my companion accidentally got some of the seed and juice on them while squeezing the sudachi, even though there was an apology.

The atmosphere of the restaurant was calm and the food was generally delicious. The speed of serving the course was just right. However, the customer service was a bit lacking considering the relatively high price. Overall, it was good for going with friends or colleagues, but if paying the same price, there are other options to consider.

Today's lunch was at Yokota Sushi in Umeda, featuring a daytime course with cute girls. Lunch date at the counter is fun. The tempura by Tenpura Tofuya in Edo is truly Michelin-worthy. The sushi toppings are also excellent. Life is full of surprises. #OsakaLunch #OsakaGourmet

Sushi restaurant on top of a building. It's like a branch of a tempura restaurant in Tokyo. Here, sushi is the main dish and you can also eat tempura. It's great to be able to enjoy both delicious foods! Let's enter the restaurant. I arrived a little early but was shown to my seat. I was seated in the middle of the counter. I can enjoy my meal right in front of the chef. Let's start the meal. Appetizer assortment - feels like New Year's. Sashimi, sea bream soup, salmon roe, sea urchin, and caviar bowl, medium fatty tuna, golden eye snapper, black porgy, duck chawanmushi, tempura assortment, conger eel tempura, steamed abalone with liver sauce, sushi with amberjack and marinated fish, flatfish, sweet shrimp with caviar, sushi roll with sea urchin and salmon roe, red miso soup for dessert. Personally, it was neither good nor bad. Considering the price, I expected a bit more impact. Also, the view of the work table from the counter seat was a bit distracting. Thank you for the meal.

Well, this time I visited Yokota in Umeda✨ Wow, it's really bustling here! From Umeda Station, you pass through Ohatsu Tenjin and then enter the store (^ ^) Inside, there is a counter on the right and 4 private rooms on the left. The interior is beautifully designed with downlights and indirect lighting, creating a clean and cozy atmosphere. This time, I tried the premium course❗️ First, a toast with beer. It's nice to have two types of pickled ginger, red vinegar, and sweet vinegar✨ For drinks: - Draft beer - Brewed sake - Kikuhime - Dassai - Bokunoe - Tsuruume - Ume Yuzu rock - White wine The appetizers, consisting of 5 dishes, were meticulously crafted with artisanal skill, making me excited for the course to come. The appetizers were beautifully presented and prepared. The soup with sea bream was refreshing and the sea bream was tender and delicious. The small bowl with sea urchin, salmon roe, and caviar was like a festival of fish eggs, with exquisite flavors. The sushi course included horse mackerel, yellowtail, amberjack, scallop, and fugu, each with its unique taste and texture. The tempura was served with curry salt, salt, and lemon, and was out of this world delicious. The fried conger eel was fluffy and light, a perfect balance of texture. The steamed abalone with miso was a luxurious dish with a delicate flavor. The flounder was tender and flavorful, leaving a lasting impression on the palate. The meal ended with red miso soup with enoki mushrooms and seaweed, followed by dessert and matcha. Overall, the sushi was top-notch with thick cuts of fish and perfect preparation. Yokota is a sushi restaurant with roots in both sushi and tempura, and it truly delivers on both fronts. Highly recommended!✨(o^^o) I support it ===========

The restaurant serves both sushi and tempura, both of which are delicious. The tempura is crispy and satisfying, and the balance between sushi and other dishes is just right, so you won't get tired of it. There are several table seats available, and the capacity seems relatively good, so it might be easy to make a reservation.

The tenpura batter is crispy yet fluffy, and the option to enjoy it with special salt, curry salt, or lemon is a nice touch. The vegetable tempura with curry salt adds a spicy kick that I enjoy. The chawanmushi is also well thought out, with collagen-rich fugu in a delicate custard topped with ponzu sauce. The balance of the creamy chawanmushi and tangy ponzu is exquisite, showcasing the chef's expertise. The meal ends with a sweet and silky egg omelette, reminiscent of a pudding, and pickled beltfish for a refreshing finish. The red miso soup with plenty of nameko mushrooms and green seaweed has a delightful aroma. It warms both the stomach and the heart. With a variety of sushi and tenpura options, this course menu offers a high level of satisfaction.

This time, I visited "Tenpura Yokota" in Umeda, which has won the Michelin star 8 times in Azabu-Juban! I had the premium course for ¥22,000. Starting with the appetizers: - Jako and Karasumi (dried mullet roe) salad - Sliced raw whale meat with vinegar miso - Pickled firefly squid - Boiled shrimp - Simmered Pacific saury with ginger Next was the steamed egg custard with fugu (blowfish) and lily root in ponzu sauce, which was very refreshing and delicious.

For sushi, I had a total of 11 pieces in the following order: horse mackerel, cutlassfish, marlin, seared barracuda, golden eye snapper, yellowtail, shrimp, mirugai (geoduck clam), black snapper, sea urchin gunkan, and fatty tuna. The standout sushi was the cutlassfish with creamy liver on top, and the black snapper, which was very flavorful. The highlight of the meal was the tempura course, featuring prawn, prawn head, scallop, and king oyster mushroom. They were served with curry salt, regular salt, and lemon salt for dipping. The scallop tempura was particularly delicious. I also enjoyed the deep-fried conger eel, which had a fluffy texture, and the steamed abalone with liver sauce, which was very tasty. The surprise was the seafood roll, which was not the typical vegetable roll but filled with various fish slices, making it very delicious. For dessert, I had seasonal fruits with sweet red bean paste and a serving of matcha green tea, which was a delightful way to end the meal. Considering the overall volume and satisfaction, I felt that the ¥22,000 course was worth it! Thank you for the wonderful meal!
