What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Sushi Harasho is celebrated as a top-tier omakase experience, consistently praised for incredibly fresh ingredients, masterful sushi preparation, and attentive service. Many highlight unique dishes like the tamago roll and the educational experience of learning about Edomae sushi. While the experience is highly recommended, securing a reservation is notoriously difficult, and some reviews mention the rice could be improved.
"Incredible experience. We booked online for lunch and this was flawless. The taste was incredible and the ingredients super fresh and also the service had a great pace overall. We loved it from start to finish a true experience and definetely recommended if you are in Osaka! TOP sushi. Also the chef was quite polite to also explain everything in English and educate us on edomae sushi."

"This omakase restaurant gave me one of the happiest dining experiences I’ve had. Every piece of sushi was beautifully crafted and bursting with flavor. The service was warm, attentive, and made me feel truly welcome. Highly recommended for anyone who loves sushi and a memorable dining experience!"

"This has got to be one of the best Japanese restaurant ever. The freshness and natural sweetness from the seafood was on a whole different level. Even the Ikura was unlike those you get, it was sweet yet, not salty. The star dish has got to be their tamago roll, which looks plain and unappealing. But the flavors that burst into your mouth is something that you won't expect out of something this simple. It left a sweet after taste that lasts for an hour. Let's not forget the amazing collection of sake they have. Every bottle they selected for us were such good companion to our dishes. Worth every bit of money and I would definitely recommend to anyone who's visiting Osaka to book a table in advance and pray that you get it.
Kudos to the chefs as well , they were very hospitable and warm. They were more than happy to explain the type of fish we're about to eat and even went to the extent to show us the information about the fish in a book.
It's a warm and cozy place, you're requested to go 10mins earlier to settle down. The other request is that guests do not spray on any perfume. I believe this is due to the small eating place and not wanting other patrons to smell your perfume."
