Located on the 6th floor of the San Plaza Building in front of Grand Chateau, just a 1-minute walk from JR Kyobashi Station, is Itamae Sushi, which opened in July at S6 Yokocho. This establishment is part of a complex dining space inspired by a neon-lit street food village, with a variety of shops lined up. Each section features a different colored neon lighting, creating a trendy atmosphere. Sushi is served on traditional wooden geta sandals, with freshly made sushi being presented in a stylish manner. The seating options include a counter and tables in a minimalistic space. Guests can enjoy watching the skilled chefs prepare sushi against the backdrop of mesmerizing neon lights. The highlight of this place is its affordable prices, with a cost ratio of over 40%, making it a cost-effective and Instagrammable option. They also offer a wide selection of Japanese sake for pairing with sushi. The signature "Promotion Tower" set menu allows guests to enjoy a variety of high-quality sushi, with sets ranging from Manager to Chairman level. The Chairman set, for example, includes a staircase presentation with a variety of premium items. The selection of fish varies daily, and on this day, it included tuna, tuna belly, sea bream, amberjack, salmon, flounder, large shrimp, squid, scallop, and salmon roe, as well as seafood yukhoe and salmon roe with grated radish. The sushi pieces are slightly small but fresh and delicious. The Tuna Tower, with layers of different tuna cuts, is a must-try for tuna lovers. The friendly atmosphere, extensive collection of Kutani ware chopstick rests, and the casual yet authentic sushi experience provided by the chef and staff make Itamae Sushi a great option for enjoying high-quality sushi until 4 am in one of Osaka's top drinking districts. This hyper-cost-effective sushi spot is a gem in Osaka.
