Yoshino Sushi
吉野寿司
A historic Semba shop founded in 1841, representing Osaka's boxed sushi (hako-sushi), with the seventh generation still operating at the original location.
Founded in Semba Awajicho in 1841 (Tenpo 12), the third-generation owner designed the signature hako-sushi (boxed sushi), which is now run by the seventh generation at the same site. Pressed in cypress molds, the four patterns feature grilled conger eel, shrimp with thick omelet, small sea bream, and a colorful mix of wood ear mushroom, sea bream, and shrimp, earning it the reputation of "two-and-six-tenths-inch kaiseki." Takeout is the most convenient option, with a 2-layer box costing about 3,800 JPY. While there used to be seating on the second floor, sources conflict on whether dine-in is currently available; please call 06-6231-7181 to confirm before visiting. Open only on weekdays, closed on weekends. A 4-minute walk from Exit 11 of Yodoyabashi Station.
