Everything from high-class sushi specialty restaurants to casual <em>izakaya<\/em> style bars and eateries. And every time I see a sushi restaurant, it gets my mouth excited for some delicious sushi!<br \/>\nI\u2019m going to show you some of my favorite sushi spots in Umeda that are affordable and delicious!<br \/>\nSome of them draw a lot of customers and a handful of them are more off-the-beaten-path types.<br \/>\nStop in for lunch, bring a date, or invite your friends for a drink and a bite to eat. <\/p>\n<div style=\"padding: 10px; border-radius: 0px; background: #f7f7f7;\">\n<h2 style=\"color: #00bfff; margin: 10px 0 0;\">\uff3bContents\uff3d<\/h2>\n<ul style=\"color: #00bfff;\">\n<li><a href=\"#anchor1\">Ganso Bucchigiri Sushi<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#anchor2\">Sushi Uo Gashi Nippon Ichi, Grand Front Osaka location<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#anchor3\">Sakaba Ribery Nigiru<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#anchor4\">Sushimaru<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"anchor1\" style=\"color: #00bfff;\">\u25a0Ganso Bucchigiri Sushi<\/h2>\n<p>The first spot on my list is in the bustling Hankyu Higashi-dori Shopping Street\u2014Ganso Bucchigiri Sushi!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7407\" src=\"https:\/\/maido-storage.oss-cn-hongkong.aliyuncs.com\/maido\/uploads\/2022\/01\/the-best-sushi-restaurant-in-umeda01.jpg\" alt=\"Ganso Bucchigiri Sushi restaurant, Osaka Umeda\" width=\"800\" height=\"560\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The sushi toppings at this place are huge! We\u2019re talking 3 times the size of your normal slice of fish. If you order the eel, you can\u2019t even see the sushi rice below, but I promise it\u2019s under there. The flavor is huge too! Everything they serve, looks amazing and is sure to leave you absolutely satisfied.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7407\" src=\"https:\/\/maido-storage.oss-cn-hongkong.aliyuncs.com\/maido\/uploads\/2022\/01\/the-best-sushi-restaurant-in-umeda02.jpg\" alt=\"extra-large eel (unagi) sushi\" width=\"800\" height=\"560\" \/><\/p>\n<p>And just look at their famous salmon roe sushi!

And there is a lot on the menu besides sushi, like the sashimi plates, and the a la carte items. It\u2019s a fairly big restaurant, so it\u2019s a great place for families or company parties. Don\u2019t be discouraged if you\u2019re eating out with a big group. They can usually accommodate you. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7407\" src=\"https:\/\/maido-storage.oss-cn-hongkong.aliyuncs.com\/maido\/uploads\/2022\/01\/the-best-sushi-restaurant-in-umeda04.jpg\" alt=\"Sashimi from Ganso Bucchigiri Sushi\" width=\"800\" height=\"560\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"anchor2\" style=\"color: #00bfff;\">\u25a0Sushi Uo Gashi Nippon Ichi, Grand Front Osaka location<\/h2>\n<p>Next  up is another favorite, Uo Gashi Nippon Ichi, which serves up reasonably priced Edo-style sushi. The restaurant is elegant yet simple, a great place to bring your date or dine alone.<br \/>\nMost of the seating is at the sushi bar, so you can order directly from the chef and watch your food be prepared right before your eyes. Tell the chef what you like and get some recommendations for what to order.

It\u2019s all about sushi, tempura, and culinary creativity. Even the facade is a lot more artsy looking than what you would expect out of a sushi shop. It\u2019s got lots of neon and lots of color! <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7407\" src=\"https:\/\/maido-storage.oss-cn-hongkong.aliyuncs.com\/maido\/uploads\/2022\/01\/the-best-sushi-restaurant-in-umeda09.jpg\" alt=\"trendy-looking sushi Sakaba Ribery Nigiru\" width=\"800\" height=\"560\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This is one of those places where I recommend to just go with your gut.

It\u2019s a cucumber roll, but it\u2019s topped in fresh fish. It tastes even better than it will look on your instagram feed.
