Harukoma Branch
The branch of Harukoma, Osaka's legendary neighborhood sushi restaurant, in Tenjinbashisuji Shopping Street. The main store is under renovation until September 2025, making this the place to go. Nigiri is served as pairs starting from ¥100 to ¥550. Famous for large cuts at prices that put conveyor belt sushi to shame — queues form before opening time. Counter seating for 19, banquet space on 3F.
Reviews: 'This fish thickness at this price is impossible,' 'Far better than conveyor belt sushi,' 'Worth queuing even before opening,' 'Local customer for 30 years in Tenma.' Tabelog 3.49 / 984 reviews, TripAdvisor 4.3 / 436 reviews (combined for Harukoma), Yahoo! Maps 4.14 / 150 reviews. No sakura concerns. Ongoing individual visit posts on Instagram in 2024-2025.
