This was my first experience with private omakase dining at Sushi Tenkawa, and it was incredible! The dinner was amazing, and we left feeling completely satisfied. Each piece of sushi tasted exceptionally fresh and delicious. With only five seats in a cozy room, it felt intimate and special. The one-on-one interaction with the chef made it even more memorable, and we communicated easily using English translation on an iPad. We discovered Sushi Tenkawa through byFood, and I highly recommend booking through byFood.com!

Hozenji Sushidokoro Nakatani

Restaurant in Osaka

Had a very memorable dinner here with my wife. Everything made from the fugu tasted great, but first time for both of us so no point of comparison. All the staff were very welcoming and provided great service. The chef came to prepare the nabe at our table for about 15-20 minutes. made for extra special and intimate experience. I don’t know if they always do that. Would come back if we get a chance.

Easy to make reservations via byfood.com. Took my gf here on our last night in Tokyo. Good thing for google maps otherwise i wouldn't know how to get here. Restaurant outside looks very discreet. We had the Seasonal course with kuroge wagyu beef. It was great experience watching the chef prepare and serve the food in front of us. He knew English and explained each dish as he presented it to us. The small appetizers were light and satisfying. The one beef course was delicious, I wish there was more beef or a second beef dish in the course menu. My favorite was the crab cream croquette and kuroge wagyu beef. We had a enjoyable time here.

Service was amazing! Sushi was impeccable! The chef and his waiter are good men who love and care deeply about their craft and their customers! Definitely recommend!
