Orankuya Sushi

Picking a place for dinner in Osaka is never been easier as everywhere you go, there's surely a place for us to eat. Mom's crave for sushi were very obvious as she's been requesting from dad to have sushi for dinner before we even got to Japan! After checking into the hotel, we quickly looked for a place around the area for dinner and we found it... a sushi place. The Orankuya Sushi restaurant. This sushi place only opens from 5pm until 2am. Pretty weird hours isn't it? Well, Japanese are well known for their late dinners because Japanese people works late. The store that we went to was located at Ottesuji. The address... if I get this right, it should be 1-chome, Kochi City, 3-13 追手筋.

If you happen to be in the area, do drop by into this Sushi restaurant. The fishes that they serve here is extremely fresh! Even my dad had both his thumbs up for its freshness... which is a rare ocassion from him to be praising something this simple.

As we sat ourselves down, we were given a Japanese menu (which is not the first time that we were being treated as Japanese). Dad has to go all out trying to talk to the manager for an English menu but what we got in the end was a cardboard menu that has all the sushi pictures taken in it. All we have to do is just point and order. On my first visit to Japan, I never had any Sushi in a Sushi bar. I don't even realize that Japan has such places to begin with until I've gone to this one.

The professional chef at work. Awesome skill with the knife on those fishes.

And here comes the Nigiri Sushi.

The very succulent meat of the Fatty Tuna (Toro Sushi).

These Fatty Tuna sushi costs 580 yen a piece. As for the salmon... 220 a piece.

The reason why fatty tuna is expensive is because the meat and the taste is completely different compared to any other fishes that I've ever tasted. The texture of the meat is softer hence making it an upper class of tuna meat that the fish can offer. If you are trying to imagine putting canned tuna fish into the mouth would taste the same, think again.

Tamago Sushi costs 130 a piece.

Even the Ikura Gunkan Makizushi looks extremely good!

A little serving of the Kappamaki.

The chefs has been extremely nice as they know that we were a bunch of visitors... so they've prepared for us a smaller version of sushi for presentation.

Overall, this little restaurant serves one the best sushi that I've tasted so far. My dad insists that we will be going to another one that was recommended by his secretary that is located in Tokyo's Ueno area which will be posted sometime soon. For the time being, this is still a breathtaking experience that I had in a sushi bar. Extremely AWESOME!!!
