Sushi Ooga
Sushi Ooga is run by a chef with a strong sushi pedigree, going it alone with great success.
Restaurant Details
Kansai-style sushi has a unique character that is distinct from the more well-known Kanto varieties. This restaurant, situated in Osaka, is one of the best places to try it. The owner is a fourth-generation sushi chef who trained at his family’s store Yasuke, which lies just across the street from his current restaurant.
Enter through an ornate wooden gate, and walk over a stone path lit by antique lanterns to get to the main room. Here he serves up irresistible nigiri, with ingredients such as boiled Kansai whitefish, and lightly tenderized tuna which melts in the mouth.
Ooga-san is a master of tuna, which is usually more commonly used in the east of Japan. When enough prime tuna is available, he offers set courses specially dedicated to showcasing each delicious cut of the fish.
