When it comes to popular sushi restaurants in Sakai City, you can't leave out Ichisaku-san. I heard that the famous sushi restaurant in Hatoshita, Ichisaku-san, has opened on the main street. It took me about a month to finally get a chance to go, as I didn't want to wait in long lines. The garage is easy to find with two large maps posted across the road. I decided to visit on a weekday night around 7 pm. I called ahead and had my name written on the board, just like before. This analog reservation method is a unique feature of this restaurant, as well as the analog way of ordering sushi by writing it on paper and handing it over. The second-generation chef was behind the counter, and when I asked, he mentioned that they deliberately stick to the traditional way of ordering to show respect to older customers. Today being a night visit, I asked my wife to drive so I could start with a cold beer. A well-chilled beer is the best. We also had fresh oysters with ponzu sauce, followed by a delicious sake called Daishiro. We also had shirako with ponzu sauce, which had a rich and creamy taste. We then ordered a sashimi platter for two, which included seven types of fresh sashimi. The Shima Aji was particularly delicious. My wife ordered individual sushi pieces, while I ordered a chef's choice sushi set of 10 pieces. It was a satisfying assortment. Next to the second-generation chef, the third-generation chef was also present. The founder of the restaurant, the first head chef, seemed to be off that night. It's wonderful to see the family tradition being passed down through the generations. Thank you for the delicious meal!

I went for lunch on a regular day and there was a line. I had made a reservation on EPARK before arriving, so I was able to enter without waiting much, but it's better to expect to line up when visiting the restaurant. They have a parking lot (about 15 spaces), but it fills up quickly due to the popularity of the restaurant, so it's a good idea to anticipate it being full when visiting. I visited with another person and ordered the lunch set with 12 and 15 pieces. As mentioned in other reviews, I was very satisfied to be able to eat sushi made by a skilled chef at this price. It even came with red miso soup, and I definitely want to go back. It's cheaper than major conveyor belt sushi chains, and I understand why there are many repeat customers. They only accept cash for lunch. I thought about ordering individual pieces, but I was already full so I'll save that for next time haha. Every piece of sushi was fresh and delicious. I'd like to try going at night next time.

It had been a while since my last visit, but I was very satisfied with the overwhelming cost performance, despite a slight price increase. The sushi was luxurious and the chawanmushi was rich in flavor, with plenty of fish bones in the red miso soup.

I decided to go for Sunday lunch and called the restaurant a little before 11 o'clock. Instead of giving my name and number of people as before, I was given a reservation number. They also mentioned that they offer a service where they call you when your turn is up. When I arrived a little before 1 o'clock, there were about 10 people waiting in line. I pressed my reservation number on the machine at the entrance and checked in again. I was seated within 3 minutes, which was great as it was a hot day. I ordered the Chef's choice sushi set of 10 pieces for 1,430 yen including tax, which came with red miso soup and chawanmushi. The sushi had a light and fluffy rice with fresh toppings, all of which were delicious. Personally, I really liked the seared sawara with ponzu sauce. I will definitely come back when I crave sushi again. Payment is cash only.

I visited in the afternoon with no wait. I ordered the Today's Chef's Choice Sushi Set (10 pieces of sushi, red miso soup, chawanmushi) for 1430 yen including tax. I also ordered the 12-piece Nigiri Sushi Set with red miso soup for 825 yen including tax. Isn't it too cheap?! The quality of the sushi is great, the red miso soup is delicious, and it even comes with chawanmushi. We shared the sets between two people and were completely satisfied. The 10-piece sushi set with red miso soup included is only 715 yen including tax! Is Ichi Sakana Sushi doing okay? The interior of the restaurant is clean, bright, and well-maintained. Their chirashi sushi is also delicious. I will definitely come back regularly. As we left, we saw about 10 people waiting outside. Thank you for the meal!

On Saturday afternoon, we received a waiting number at 11:10 and entered the restaurant at 12:00. We enjoyed the lunch special of 10 pieces of sushi, red miso soup, and steamed rice for 1300 yen. My wife and I felt happy while eating the delicious sushi. The seared swordfish, bonito, and marinated sardines were particularly tasty.

Lunch for the day was at "Ichisaku Sushi" in Sakai, Hatsushiba. We went to support a local restaurant in Sakai that is still open despite the pandemic. The popular sushi restaurant "Ichisaku Sushi" in Sakai City, Hatsushiba, was where my family and I went. It was actually our first time at "Ichisaku Sushi". For lunch, I ordered the "Nigiri 15-piece set" with chawanmushi on the side. My child ordered the "Nigiri 12-piece set" with chawanmushi on the side. My wife had the "Itama-san Omakase Nigiri". The nigiri sets for me and my child came with red miso soup, while my wife's omakase nigiri came with red miso soup and chawanmushi. "Ichisaku Sushi" is probably the most famous and popular sushi restaurant in Sakai City. It relocated and reopened last year at its current location. The charm of Ichisaku Sushi is its cost performance. You can enjoy a set of 15 pieces of sushi handcrafted by sushi chefs with red miso soup for less than 1000 yen. The sushi set was really delicious!

Osaka Sakai Hatsushiba "Ichisaku Sushi" ★ Super affordable conveyor belt sushi for the masses‼️ Today is cheat day and I ate 25 pieces‼️ ● 15 pieces + Red Miso Soup with Fish Bones Set @ 850 yen (850-180) / 15 = 44.7 yen per piece. 2-3 years ago, this was 760 yen, so it's surprising (*≧∀≦*) Even if they raise it by 100 yen, I'll still go there~(^^) The sansho pepper in the red miso soup is really good~(^^) ● Chef's choice nigiri sushi 10 pieces + Red Miso Soup + Chawanmushi @ 1300 yen. This one is not that great (*≧∀≦*) No sea urchin, no shellfish, two octopus pieces. The chawanmushi doesn't have much at the bottom. I think it's best to eat 15 pieces and order individual sushi pieces separately! Individual sushi pieces are even more delicious! #Reservations can be made through epark or by calling the restaurant #No waiting board #Two parking lots available #Takeout is also available #If the parking lot is full, go to Life supermarket #Osaka gourmet #South Osaka gourmet #South Osaka lunch #Sushi Instagram #Sushi lover #Fish lover #Seafood lover #Affordable sushi #Affordable lunch #Hatsushiba gourmet #Hatsushiba Ichisaku Sushi #Ichisaku Sushi #Great service #Japanese food #Seafood

I made a reservation by phone at 9:30 in the morning on the same day and got the second slot for the evening. We arrived around 5 o'clock to make it in time. We were relieved to be seated right away. All four of us ordered our favorite dishes, enjoyed some drinks, and were very satisfied! We will visit regularly. Thank you for the wonderful meal! We will come again!

It was my first visit to this restaurant in a year, so I checked their website and information beforehand. I called at 11:30, gave my name and number of people. The staff on the phone was friendly, which was reassuring. When I arrived at 13:10, I saw a sign outside saying that lunch was ending, so I was glad I called ahead. The staff came out just as I arrived, and I was seated smoothly about 5 minutes later. The interior was bright with white and light wood. The sushi had fluffy rice and delicious toppings like Spanish mackerel, puffer fish, and grouper. I especially enjoyed the white fish. The chawanmushi and miso soup were also tasty and satisfying. I would like to visit again. ◆ Omakase 10-piece nigiri sushi, red miso soup, chawanmushi Total including tax: 1,430 yen ★ Payment by cash only First parking lot: 6 spaces, Second parking lot: 8 spaces, Total: 14 spaces This was my 15th visit in total.

Today's lunch was at this restaurant. I sat at the counter without having to wait in line. I ordered the chef's choice nigiri sushi set of 10 pieces. It arrived in about 10 minutes. Later, they also brought me red miso soup and steamed egg custard. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

I always used to order nigiri sushi for lunch here, but this time I decided to try the seared chirashi for the first time. The recommended seasoning is salt, and the combination of lemon and seaweed is excellent! The smoky flavor of the seared fish makes it very delicious and easy to eat! It was incredibly tasty, and I highly recommend it to those who have only eaten nigiri sushi. I definitely want to try it again.

Near Nankai Koya Line's "Hatsushiba Station," there is a popular sushi restaurant that has been featured on TV. Upon arrival, you need to sign your name on the waiting board outside and then wait in your car until about 10 minutes before opening time. As the opening time approaches, people start coming out of the dedicated parking lot across the street, and the front of the restaurant becomes crowded with many people. When called, I entered the restaurant and was greeted by a bright and clean interior with a mix of counter and table seats. The atmosphere is relaxed and not pretentious, making it easy to unwind. The lunch menu is incredibly reasonable, with a variety of options available. I opted for the nigiri sushi set (10 pieces with red miso soup) for 650 yen (715 yen including tax). Although I hesitated between that and the "Chef's choice nigiri sushi set (10 pieces for 1,300 yen)," I decided to go with the one featured on TV since it was my first visit. The price of 715 yen was definitely a steal for the quality and taste of the sushi. The red miso soup enhanced the flavor of the sushi, and each piece was delicious. Starting with the easy-to-eat Negitoro gunkan, I enjoyed a variety of sushi including sea bream, yellowtail, salmon, squid, tuna, octopus, conger eel, shrimp, and tamago. The Chef's choice set was even better with thicker cuts of fish and a touch of luxury with eel sushi and red miso soup with chawanmushi. The restaurant was bustling with people waiting outside, so I quickly finished my meal and paid. If I have the chance to visit again, I would definitely try the "Chef's choice nigiri sushi set (10 pieces for 1,300 yen)." They also offer takeout, so I might consider getting some sushi to enjoy at home next time I'm in the area. Overall, it was a satisfying and delicious dining experience. Bon appétit!

A sushi restaurant in Osaka, Sakai City. It's located just a short walk from Nankai Koya Line's Hatsushiba Station. Although the express trains do not stop at this station, only the local trains do, there is always a long line outside the restaurant! The sushi is made by skilled chefs and is delicious, and the prices are reasonable too! The restaurant has been featured in various media outlets. There are parking lots available in front of the restaurant and behind it. I visited on a Sunday in March, arriving before the opening time of 11 am, but there were already many people waiting. You write your name on a waiting board and wait. There are benches outside the restaurant where about 10 people can sit. I ordered the Chef's Choice 10-piece Nigiri set (1430 yen) which included tuna, fatty tuna, swordtip squid, sayori, shrimp, white fish, eel, yellowtail, tamagoyaki, and kamasu. It also came with chawanmushi and red miso soup. The selection of fish varies each day, and they are all delicious. It's great to get fatty tuna and eel at this price! The daily selection of fish is written on a paper on the table. The red miso soup is hearty with big fish bones in it. The chawanmushi is filled with plenty of ingredients and is delicious. You can also order additional items like fatty tuna, eel, cucumber roll, or yellowtail. I also tried the A5 rank Saga beef seared. I also tried the Chef's Choice 5-piece Nigiri set (900 yen) which is a smaller version of the 10-piece set. It also came with chawanmushi and red miso soup. When I visited in February, the Chef's Choice 10-piece Nigiri set included tuna, kanpachi, swordtip squid, aged hamachi, shrimp, salmon, eel, flathead, tamagoyaki, and sawara. It also came with chawanmushi and red miso soup. I have also visited in the evening before and tried sashimi, tempura, baguette, and helmet stew. Everything was delicious, well-prepared, and very reasonably priced. The sushi is made by the chefs, so the taste is excellent. The friendly second-generation owner is often present, and the first-generation master also occasionally stands behind the counter. The third-generation owner is also growing rapidly and is very promising! The customers range from young people who have seen the restaurant on TV, in magazines, or on social media, to local elderly people, showing that the restaurant is well-loved by the community.

I called in the afternoon and they wrote down my name for a table at 5:30 in the evening, which was convenient. The sushi dishes were delicious, especially the ones with green onions, white shrimp, and button shrimp. The eel was also tasty. Thank you for the meal!

At Ita-san Omakase Nigiri Volume 10 for 1,430 yen, you get fish miso soup and chawanmushi included in the price. The omakase nigiri has a variety of toppings with some extra touches like searing, ponzu sauce, and lemon salt on pre-seasoned salmon and tuna. The toppings in the nigiri set seem to be a little different from the regular ones.

The Sakai Tomitabayashi Line was too crowded, so I gave up near Hatsushiba. Dinner was going to be late, so I decided to come here on a whim. I hadn't been to the previous location for a while, but it's been a while since they moved. The lunchtime at this place always has a long line, but what about at night? Today, I'm not sure, but it seems like there are fewer customers. The brightened restaurant looks spacious. I sat at a table for the first time. The menu for one piece at night doesn't seem to change much. Still reasonably priced. Recommended items include golden eye snapper, cold mackerel, eel, fatty salmon, canned mackerel, amberjack, fatty tuna, adult natto roll, and Toyama white shrimp tempura. Especially recommended are the golden eye snapper and fatty tuna. The adult natto roll seems to have mustard in it, but it's not that spicy. The white shrimp tempura was crispy and delicious. For those who drink alcohol, a sushi restaurant like this with good side dishes is the best. The lunch menu starts at 650 yen for 10 pieces, which is the best cost performance. It's understandable why there is always a line. It seems that you can also make a reservation by phone, so it's better to make a reservation.

I heard that a popular sushi restaurant in Sakai has relocated after over 10 years of business. The size of the new location is similar to the old one, but the interior is very clean. It is located by the roadside, making it easily accessible by car. However, the parking lot can be a bit confusing to find, although there is a sign in front of the shop directing to the parking area. The sign is hard to see and since it is on a busy one-lane road, it is difficult to stop. I recommend that first-time visitors coming by car to contact the restaurant in advance. The lunch menu is a great deal, offering 15 pieces of sushi with miso soup for 850 yen, and there is a wide variety of delicious options available.

In January of the 5th year of Reiwa, during lunchtime (11:00-13:30), I had the omakase nigiri set at Itasan for 1430 yen. It included 10 pieces of sushi: bluefin tuna, medium fatty tuna, swordtip squid, yellowtail, shrimp, live octopus, eel, flathead, tamagoyaki, and mackerel. The portion size of each piece is a bit small, but the sushi is delicious. It also comes with red miso soup and chawanmushi.

I have been wanting to visit this sushi restaurant for a while now. They recently relocated and it's even more accessible, so I finally made a visit. I arrived quite early but there was already a line! Many people were also getting takeout, so I could tell it's a beloved local spot. I thought the wait would be long, but the turnover was quick and I got seated. The sushi was fresh and the portions were generous, and the miso soup was full of ingredients! Is it really this good for the price? I also tried the meat sushi and yellowtail, both delicious. I found a great restaurant! I might try getting takeout next time. Thank you for the meal.

Osaka Sakai "Ichisaku Sushi" is a sushi restaurant where you can enjoy delicious sushi at a cheaper price than conveyor belt sushi. Before opening, write your name on the waiting board. Somehow managed to get in on the first round. The 15-piece sushi set costs only 800 yen, which is an unbelievable price! Everyone leaves feeling grateful. #OsakaGourmet #SouthOsakaGourmet #OsakaLunch #SouthOsakaLunch #IchisakuSushi #CheaperThanConveyorBeltSushi
