Sushi Hirokawa
Strip away the fanciness of sushi and focus on the simple beauty of the craft at this Osaka sushiya.
Restaurant Details
The name of this sushiya combines the founder's name with that of his mentor. Sushi Hirokawa is more than just a sushi restaurant. Located in Kyobashi Osaka, this place is a tribute to the elegant simplicity of sushi.
With a focus on the complex flavors hidden behind the simplistic sushi, Hirotsugu Morioka dedicates his time to extracting the natural flavors of raw ingredients while eliminating any and all odors from the fish. He spent years training and studying different techniques to develop his own original ones for his restaurant.
Ingredients used at Hirokawa are premium ones, selected directly from markets and production areas around Japan. From the highly-recommended conger eel to the consistently high-quality sushi rice, every dish and detail is given the utmost attention.
Only an omakase menu is available, opening with a seasonal item before moving on to the nigiri. Look out for rare dishes you’ll not often find elsewhere, like the soft-boiled octopus, fugu shirako, pen shell scallop grilled with seaweed, and salt-grilled nodoguro.
