sushi Hi,I’m Keiko from Osaka!

Sushi…. is the internationally acclaimed dish that represents the Japanese cuisine.

If you are in Osaka, or Japan in general, this is a type of dish you definitely want to try to truly experience the Japanese cuisine.

Sushi is a simplest form of cooking: a combination of fresh fish or other ingredients, rice, vinegar, and served without too much condiments or sauce.

This is also the reason why the chef’s skills will shine through from the selection of the right kind of fish, knife skills, rolling/holding of rice, etc.

I will guarantee you that sushi you will enjoy in Japan is unlike other sushi you may experience abroad.

Here are 5 Best Sushi Restaurants in Osaka.
