I love conveyor belt sushi, but today I decided to indulge in a non-conveyor sushi restaurant! Located about a 5-minute walk from Shinsaibashi Station, I visited Sushikappo Kakashi, which opened this June! The interior provides a serene atmosphere where you can forget the hustle and bustle of the city, making it a perfect "adult hideaway"‼️ Enjoying a course meal in such a setting is simply the best ☺️. Every dish is incredibly fresh, and I heard that the menu changes with the seasons, allowing you to enjoy the best seasonal ingredients ❤️.
One dish that stood out was the grilled nodoguro (blackthroat sea perch) with green onions✨; it was rich and fluffy, absolutely delicious! I also loved the enoki mushroom purée served as a palate cleanser✨. It’s made by blending enoki mushrooms into a liquid, and you can tell they really focused on both flavor and presentation. They are dedicated to serving seasonal ingredients beautifully, which is truly wonderful, right?
The sushi prepared by the young chef featured fresh fish, and the rice had a mildness that accentuated the flavor of the toppings. The shrimp was quite filling, and I also got to enjoy my favorites, toro (fatty tuna) and uni (sea urchin)✨. While talking about how there are private rooms available, I noticed a jar-like object in the hallway. I asked, "What’s this?!" and was laughed at as the owner said, "I'll be serving baked sweet potatoes prepared in this steamer later!" The owner seems to be quite a unique character, wanting to feature the new steamer he bought for serving the sweet potatoes! We had a delightful meal while discussing many stories, including how the restaurant came to be and the young chef's experiences.
Despite the wonderful atmosphere, the price is surprisingly reasonable at around 10,000 yen per person! This place is perfect for dates or business meetings✨.
The omakase course includes a lavish use of seasonal ingredients and a selection of sushi and seasonal dishes for a blissful experience, featuring a total of 16 items for 11,000 yen. Here’s today’s menu (subject to seasonal changes):
