I watched that episode on No Reservation many times and I can't believe I experienced it in person. The place is even smaller in person. Enjoy my photo report: http://www.kodakgallery.com/I.jsp?c=9zp0kgn.388hfcyv&x=0&y=-jejqc8 - Perceptor Thu Jul 19 10:31:30 -0700 2007 21305 Perceptor 1 2769450 Great pic! Your photo reports make my mouth drool! and a bit homesick... I'm a native Osakan, but have never been to any of these places. What you call "yumeigai" looks like "torigai" to me. It's very chewy and my favorite. Also, by "taiharagai", do you mean "tairagai"? like this? http://www.rakuten.co.jp/sakana-3a/554025/555537/504064/ That fried rice with the kobe beef fat and garlic looks soooooooo good. I have my own favorite kobe beef place in Osaka, but they don't serve fried rice. And don't get me started on kujira. I grew up eating it. Haven't had it for 30 yrs! Sounds like you had a real "kuidaore" trip. Really, Osakans live to eat!

Tue Jul 31 23:28:49 -0700 2007 2764652 43533 yimay 2 2806432 yimay... it was 7500 yen for the 2 of us if i remember correctly... i basically told him in half english/half japanese to feed me and some pointing at things i wanted to eat... enjoy your trip! keep in mind that the restaurant opens at 6:00pm everyday except sunday Thu Aug 02 07:13:12 -0700 2007 2802330 21305 Perceptor 1 4608318 I just ran across this post. I hope it's ok to resurrect it. It's been almost 2 years since the address to the sushi bar. Does anyone know how Koyoshi Sushi is faring these days? Withe international ChowHounders visiting, I wonder if he would have had to expand? Loved the pictures! Sun Apr 19 00:16:41 -0700 2009 2764652 214697 ritabwh 2 4608385 I was last there a year ago. I doubt he's going to expand; the couple which owns the place are quite content with what they have. Not that many international visitors go, at least not compared to locals. Whenever I've gone, it's been an entirely local crowd (except for me, but they think I'm local until I actually speak. . . ). Sun Apr 19 03:33:29 -0700 2009 4608318 55178 prasantrin 1 4781864 Can anyone shed some light on prices? I would think this is a la carte, so would there be any difference in price? Also, would lunch/dinner have any affect on the # of customers? I realize it's a TINY place... haha Would one be able to have a satisfying variety of food for lunch for say 2000 yen? Any help would be great!... 3 of us are planning to be in osaka June 24-25!! Also, any suggestions on what to order? We'll eat anything! (or just about) Wed Jun 17 12:51:55 -0700 2009 2764652 167498 msprnt 2 4782289 Last year I had maybe 5 pieces of sushi there and paid somewhere in the region of Y2500. That being said, I had some of the more expensive pieces--hotate, uni, ikura, anago (their anago is amazing) and one more but I can't remember what (a winter fish). I don't think they do lunch. If you're planning on going with 3 people and want to actually eat together, then I'd suggest going as soon as they open. You're not likely to get seated together (or even get to eat at the same time) after that. FYI--they close indiscriminately. I've gone a couple of times only to find a sign on the door saying they were closed for the week. Since they don't have a website, you have to call to make sure they're open or just take the risk and drop by. Wed Jun 17 14:30:38 -0700 2009 4781864 55178 prasantrin
