There are many items on the menu that look good on Instagram, and the "Banken Samon" made with cream cheese is so real that you feel sorry for eating it. On the other hand, you can also eat authentic Edomae sushi, and the price is very reasonable starting from 99 yen.

A historical sushi restaurant of the original 'Tsukami Zushi' made from freshly cooked warm rice and supreme seafood bought in the adjoining market. I love this sushi like malting in my mouth! ◎Their best-seller 'Uwamaze' has five sushi (1050 yen for lunch), and you can order more by five. Every seafood they use is excellent! There're people waiting in a line.

Soft and creamy Oyako-don (soft stewed egg and chicken on rice) is very delicious. The meringue is fizzy in my mouth, and the stock is also wonderful. It's only 890 yen with salad, side dish, and Akadashi miso soup. I like this lunch very much.

"Yakiniku Shoten Hayashi" in Kyobashi is a restaurant where you can eat delicious red meat. Among them, the extra-thick sea bream steak that ended up standing on the net is a gem that is so tender that you want to ask for it. The size of the beer was ridiculously large, and the curry served at the end was from a famous restaurant that was selected as one of the top 100 restaurants in Tabelog.

Choose two rice balls. I grilled salmon. Cod roe is made in Hokkaido Grilled cod roe Salmon is made in Hokkaido Toki salmon (Tokiraz) Since it is landed from spring to early summer, it is nutritious and has a lot of fat on its belly. First of all, Namul. Sesame oil is fragrant and slightly gentle seasoning. The side dishes are also delicious!

I visited Umeda's "Yakiniku Jack" before, and I was told that a new menu item had come out, so I revisited it. “Chandelier truffle yukhoe” that looks too luxurious, and the exciting “whole grilled tongue”. Both must be reserved at least one day in advance, but are a gem worth ordering.

Seafood Kitchen Dekoboko, which has just opened in Tsuruhashi, is a seafood restaurant that has already become a hot topic on social media. Among them, the gorgeous “Queen Kappa” with salmon roe, crabs, etc., is a spectacular visual. Moreover, 2200 yen is a great value for this. In addition, it was excellent no matter what I ate, such as thick sashimi.

Enjoy a reasonably priced sushi kaiseki course at Moegi, a kappo restaurant located in Izumi Chuo. A very satisfying course with a variety of dishes such as sashimi and fried foods, and finally about 8 pieces of sushi. It was extremely delicious and the portion was quite large, but at 6,600 yen, it was a great value. The comfortable and high-quality space was also great.
