Kentaro Takahashi" is a hard-to-reserve sushi restaurant in Oebashi, Osaka, that is not only delicious but also the best in terms of cost performance. 5 minute walk from Kitashinchi Station Average budget: ¥18,000~¥25,000 Closed: Sunday, Monday, Holidays Business hours: 18:00~(2-turns system) Seating: 12 seats Private rooms: Available Private rooms: Available All seats are non-smoking Private parking: No Visited on March 5, 2019 Appearance Takahashi Kentaro, a 5-minute walk from Kitashinchi Station, is a very popular sushi restaurant where reservations are not taken until several months in advance. In an area where many upscale restaurants are located, this restaurant has a reputation for offering delicious sushi at a reasonable price‍. Interior The restaurant, with an L-shaped counter seating 12, has an elegant atmosphere. Let's eat! 18,000 yen course One course, starting at once. Sushi will be introduced in no particular order. Pickled red meat This dish has an impressive moist texture that clings to the tongue. The rich flavor of the neta and the balance of the rice are superb. Yum. Kinme It has an image of simmered fish, but it is also very good sushi. It has a nice texture that makes you feel like you are bursting with flavor. It is also fatty. Iwashi The combination of the flavor from the vinegared fish and the savory aroma from the grilled fish is a masterpiece. Shrimp The texture of the tight shrimp is unforgettable. The texture of the prawns is unforgettable, and the finish is so pleasant that you feel something playing in your mouth. Nodoguro (sea bream) The way the fat seems to be about to burst out of the fish is beautiful. It is so impressive that you can bite through it without putting any effort at all. Toro (fatty tuna) It is not an expression, it is real and shining. When you put it in your mouth, it melts as if it envelops your tongue. It must be delicious. Kohada The heavy, mackerel-like meat is complemented by a tight texture and a fresh aroma. It is delicious. Bluefin Squid A casual yet bold hidden knife creates a mysterious texture. The tender and creamy taste is like a dessert. Mackerel The meat on the verge of exploding is the best. The rice with sesame seeds and the acidity of the yuzu (citrus fruit) are also the secret to its deliciousness. It is the best. Sea urchin The abundance of sea urchin covering the rice makes you happy. It is irresistible. Torigai The harmony of smooth texture and crunchy texture. It is not something I usually like to eat, but it was very tasty. Toro taku Torotaku" is becoming a standard dish at the end of sushi (for me). It is delicious. Sakura trout It has a texture like salmon, but this was my first experience of sushi with red vinegar. It was my first experience of sushi with red vinegar. Iidako (octopus) From here, we will start with a la carte dishes. Juvenile sea eel (soup) Tachio fish That's all, but there are some things I forgot to take pictures of, so there is a possibility that the contents may differ. The quality is very high and the volume is 120 points. I am very satisfied! Drinks Kuro Ryu Sake Speaking of sushi, sake is a good choice. The first one is "Kuroryu Hiiraju". It is a junmai daiginjo with a rice polishing ratio of 35%, using Yamadanishiki produced in Hyogo Prefecture. It is a high-quality sake with both a fruity aroma and a profound flavor. Senkatsu Masamune A special junmai sake from Miyagi Prefecture. As the name suggests, the label features the military flag of the Date Army with a golden Hinomaru (rising sun). The taste is interesting, with a fluffy aroma like freshly cooked rice, and the original flavor of the rice can be felt directly. The ultimate Junmai Daiginjo with a polish of 20%. A luxury sake that costs 13,000 yen for 720ml. It is a luxury sake at 13,000 yen for 720ml. It is delicious. Price About 50,000 yen (for two people) This price for this quality.... I think it is reasonable compared with other high-class restaurants in the same area. We drank a lot and even ordered additional drinks, so the average budget would be a little lower. What about nearby restaurants? Kitashinchi Harami Honten Global Tonkatsu Watanabe" in Kitashinchi Delicious restaurants in the Kitashinchi area. What restaurants are similar? Nishi-Umeda] "Sushi Amanase Impressions How was it? I have always wanted to go to this restaurant. The surprisingly high quality, surprisingly large volume, and surprisingly reasonable pricing will make you want to go back. We hope you will, too.

Blissful time from start to finish @ Kitashinchi | Delicious food and happiness♪ I heard from an acquaintance that there is a delicious sushi restaurant in Kitashinchi! After hearing from an acquaintance that there is a great sushi restaurant in Kitashinchi, I began to hear about it everywhere. My Instagram followers are also going there so much! My desire to go there reached the max, so I invited my friends to visit! This is Mr. Kentaro Takahashi! Location: Kitashinchi Basara Building 4F along the main street When the elevator opens, you will be overwhelmed by the power of Kentaro Takahashi's name! Inside the restaurant, there are 12 L-shaped counter seats and a private room. I was a little nervous to visit the restaurant because it is a sushi restaurant in Kitashinchi, but the casual, relaxed atmosphere allows you to enjoy your meal! We went to the counter! After all, it is better to dine at the counter in a sushi restaurant, isn't it? The menu is omakase, 12,000 yen to 13,000 yen. Today, they had very good buffalo sea urchin and tori mussels! I'm really looking forward to it! It is served with Umeshu (Japanese plum wine)! It's so sweet and meltingly delicious! Now, let's start the course! Vinegared white fish Even though it was the end of March when we visited the restaurant, it was a bit hot that day, so we were happy to start with a refreshing dish! I was glad to see rape blossoms on the side, which made me feel the season! Bamboo shoots with sprouts This is another spring-like dish! Bamboo shoots and squid dressed with fresh kinome, one of my favorite dishes as an adult! Boiled Clam It is served wrapped with a sprout of leek! It's already cooked in the best soup stock, so the aroma that spreads in your mouth the moment you eat it is great! The egg and tofu cooked in the clam broth is hidden underneath! Deep-fried young ayu fish! A very energetic ayu fish! It was fried so beautifully! The ayu fish is covered with snow salt and has a pleasantly artistic bitterness! It was delicious! Sushi with steamed sea cucumbers! The flavor is in season, and the softness of the fish is a knockout! The head is steamed with sushi rice, so it has a wonderfully sticky texture and the rice is clear and very beautiful! Grilled marinated skipjack The fish is grilled in a marinade, so it has a nice aroma and flavor! If you chew it, you will enjoy the taste of it! Nigiri starts! Mackerel sushi! The thick mackerel naturally has no smell, and it's nice that it's hand-delivered! Gari, vinegared lotus rootGari and vinegared lotus root are prepared! Vinegared lotus root is refreshing and serves as a nice way to reset your palate! Ainame Sumashi (Sea Urchin Soup) The soup stock is the key to making a good clear soup. Natural sea bream The squid is cut into very small pieces, so the moment you put it in your mouth, you can't wait to see how it unravels! For a moment, I forgot I was eating squid! The lobster miso paste on the top of the squid is very rich and the texture is different from that of prawns! The boiled scallops melted in your mouth! The boiled scallops melted in your mouth! But I didn't feel that it was lacking. The scallop This towering cockle! We were told that the best ones of the season had arrived, and that we had come on a good day! This one was the best of the day! I'll never forget how it tastes! Oma Toro The fat is just right and melts in your mouth! Hairy crab It must have been hard to break the meat off! The crab is so delicious that it brings happiness to the eater's mouth! The crab was wrapped in shiso for aroma at the end of the dish! Faintly fragrant! Horse mackerel! Beautiful light thing really beautiful! Buffoon sea urchin Isn't it amazing? It's a very melting sea urchin! This was also the day we got the best ones! It's so creamy, hah~ I'm so happy! The skin of the Dogtooth Globefish has been grilled so you can enjoy it both savory and rare! Unagi (eel) The last one is eel! The eel is the pride and joy of this restaurant! The crispy nori, the fragrant eel and the rice, what more could you ask for? I'm so happy! Lobster Miso Soup From the aroma to the flavor, you can feel the luxury of this soup as the final dish! Finally, you will feel relieved! The sake was served in a light sake and then gradually increased to a stronger sake. I had the Naraman! It was light and very easy to drink! It was really delicious, enjoyable, and happy from start to finish! I feel like I have found a sushi restaurant that I want to go back to again and again! The friendly owner, Mr. Kentaro Takahashi The second chef also listens to our casual conversation and talks to us! These two nigiri-kunin really make you feel comfortable! I will gather my friends and go in July! The score on the food log is only this point because there are not many reviews, but I am sure this place will eventually get a high score and it will be difficult to make reservations! I am looking forward to next month! Thank you for the food! Kentaro Takahashi 06-6347-9555 4F Basara Building, 1-7-5 Sonezakishinchi, Kita-ku, Osaka-shi, Osaka

Kentaro-san's sushi was missed... @Kitashinchi | Happy to eat good food! Kentaro Takahashi The hottest and most popular sushi restaurant in Osaka right now! I often see people going there on Instagram, and I often hear gourmets say how delicious it is there! After my first visit in early spring, I wanted to revisit it as soon as possible, so I gathered a group of people who wanted to go there in the summer! We reserved 12 seats at the counter for a sushi party! Champagne toast! RUINARTBLANCDEBLANC(France) I remember this clear bottle of Champagne is delicious! I had it at a certain restaurant and it was delicious with its noble taste and delicate bubbles! The glass is also nice! The meal is "Omakase" (leftovers) 12,000 yen Enjoy the start of the meal! Nagaimo Somen The yam is thinly sliced to look like somen noodles, making it very easy to eat! And there is a little eel on top! Boiled millet shells! I seem to have forgotten to take a picture... Ishii flounder! Spicy spicy green beans wrapped around the yolk! The elasticity of the flounder is irresistible, and the mildly spicy sauce goes very well with it! Tofu paste with summer vegetables Tofu paste with summer vegetables such as shikaku-mame (green beans), suzu-nankin (bell peppers) and other unusual vegetables, It is very easy to eat because it is creamy, smooth, and has no habit, which is totally different from what you have eaten before! Fried rockfish No way! I never thought they would fry Nodoguro.... But it was so delicious! It is marinated in vision mustard before frying, so there is no greasiness when you try it! Nodoguro is a very fatty fish, but how crispy it is! I am very impressed. ！！！！ Marinated and grilled golden threadfin bream! Marinated in sweet sauce and grilled! It is not only sweet, but also has a rich flavor of Kinmoku, so it is not too strong. Kei Everyone was drinking sake, so I had some too! It's so good! I never thought I could find a sake that even I could enjoy! I can't believe it from where I was a few years ago! A beautiful silver bowl! Bowls of suppon and fu! I can't say it out loud, but I've never had suppon before! The soup stock is gentle, but the taste is deep! The first suppon is soft and tasty! I know my skin will be soft and supple if I eat a lot of this! Now, I'm looking forward to the next handful! Amate Flounder Shiraebi (white shrimp) Sardine Raw Abalone Japanese common squid (Todarodes pacificus) Southern bluefin tuna Toro (fatty tuna) Kohada sea urchin Striped Horse Mackerel prawn Hamo (Japanese conger eel) hand-rolled eel simmered conger eel I was impressed every time I was served! This time, I was served on Kentaro's side, and he had a very interesting conversation with me, which made it all the more enjoyable! I was especially happy with the hand-delivered nigiri. The delicate nigiri seemed to be on the verge of falling apart! It was so delicate that it seemed as if it was going to fall apart and melt in your mouth! The hand-rolled eel, which was also a rave review last time! From the moment you put it in your mouth, you can already feel the aroma of the eel as it melts in your mouth! It's too good to be true! I can't tell you how much I'm looking forward to this last part... Aomori mozuku miso soup! The soup stock is really delicious, so it soaks into all five internal organs! This is it! The treasure of Japan! Sushi Rolls - Tama A hearty sushi roll filled with a variety of ingredients! I can eat it even though I'm full! Because it tastes so good! I was so hungry that I even asked for more of the leftover sushi rolls! I was very, very, very satisfied! I enjoyed the change of ingredients between spring and summer, and Kentaro's nigiri was superb! Maybe it was because it was a private party, but we were just a group of like-minded people, so we really enjoyed it! I love this place after all! I've already become a fan of Kentaro's! I want to eat there again! I want to go back! What's the autumn food right now? I'll do my best and work hard so I can go in the winter! What kind of foodstuffs will you entertain us with? I am looking forward to it! Kentaro Takahashi 06-6347-9555 Basara Building 4F, 1-7-5 Sonezakishinchi, Kita-ku, Osaka-shi, Osaka https://tabelog.com/osaka/A2701/A270101/27087204/

Blissful Hour is Hard to Reserve @ Kitashinchi | Delicious food and happiness♪ Kentaro Takahashi's has quickly become a restaurant that is difficult to make reservations for. Now, the system is to take reservations for three months from OMAKASE once every three months! Miraculously, I was able to get a seat, and went there for the first time in a long time! 4th floor of the Basara Building on the main street in Kitashinchi. When the elevator door opens, this cool thing welcomes you! It is more austere than the previous one! The interior of the restaurant has been changed to counter seating only. The former private room has been converted into a work space. It's been a long time since I've seen Kentaro-san's cooking. Maybe it's been too long since we had sushi... I'm really looking forward to it. ！！！！！！ Cheers! I made a toast with plum wine and soda. All the dishes are beautiful, and you can enjoy not only the food but also the tableware! Bamboo shoots and Aomori trout with sprouts ■For the most part ◾️Iidako Mishima udo ◾️ gari and asparagus ◾️Marinated tuna 2 days ◾️Toro ◾️ sweet sea bream young burdock and burdock root ◾️ flatfish ◾️ flounder ◾️ red clams and white asparagus raw and cooked The mackerel is now baked! ◾️ mackerel Pickled and the skin is crispy. Fukimiso for aroma ◾️tairagi ◾️Ankimo Shari is a ponzu ◾️ Kasbo ◾️ small bowl of tuna Open the lid and you will see ◾️'s retekoso - soup stock of suzubon and consomme Wow!

The boiled Iidako (Japanese octopus) is also tender and excellent! The red clam and white asparagus were presented both raw and cooked! The mackerel is marinated, then grilled, and then broken into pieces! The amount of time and effort that goes into this dish makes it even more delicious! The noretsore is the largest I've ever had, and is served in a double broth of scallops and consommé! The miso soup is also made with mussels, a taste I had never encountered before, but it comes in easily and makes me feel at ease. Nigiri is served in a nice way in between the other dishes! The moment you eat the marinated tuna, it seems to nestle in your mouth and on your tongue! After that impression, the toro comes out and follows it up even more! How happy I am to be an osuji! ❤️ The tairagi also folds over in four pieces and unravels with a gentle touch! The amago hand rolls are crunchy and delicious, with a ponzu pastry topping! Nodoguro kodon is savory on the surface and fluffy on the inside. It melts in your mouth. ❤️ Is it okay to eat crab so easily? My mouth is covered with crab! Finally, hot eel hand rolls! This is so delicious! The savory seaweed and eel are so good, I'm about to cry! There are four additional dishes...what do you think? There were tiger prawns, squid, boiled conger eel, and torotaku! Huh? I want to eat them all! I don't want to regret it! But my stomach was about to burst, so I ordered the tiger prawn and the torotaku! The shrimp, freshly boiled on low, is just in between rare and cooked! Yummma! Yummma! And the torotaku, tooooooo good! I ended up with a fluffy egg! I was sad, sad, sad that it was already over... The good time goes by so fast! Why is sushi so delicious? Kentaro's sushi is delicious. I was going to do my best to make a reservation this May, but I was a few minutes late and couldn't get it. Too sad! I will try my best to make a reservation again in 3 months! Thanks for the food!

Kentaro Takahashi 6-7 minutes walk from Kitashinchi Station on JR Tozai Line, Osaka. We were able to slip into a canceled slot at a hard-to-reserve store where all reservations for the year are already made! And it was for the 6pm slot! I was too lucky! The course at the restaurant is not exactly divided into two parts, the "Ate" and "Nigiri", but rather irregularly so! Both the appetizers and the nigiri were too good! The most noteworthy dishes are the sea urchin roll, which Kentaro himself says is the best in Japan, and the nodoguro, which is the first fish in the photo! I was so surprised when I saw the nodoguro, it was huge! I was so excited! It's too good to be lucky to eat this with rice, isn't it? It's a battle of wars, isn't it? Thanks for the treat!

All of the sushi was delicious, and the attention to detail in the presentation and serving dishes made it very enjoyable to eat! I was very happy that the sushi was not too big that even I, a small eater, could eat it in small portions. The owner was very friendly, and I was very satisfied with everything.

A sushi restaurant with only a counter. I love that unique atmosphere. I like Kentaro's character. It's good to go there as the first stop for a little luxury. It's also good to go there for a quick bite as the second stop.
