Maruyoshi Sushi at Kizu Market: Osaka’s Best-Kept Sushi Secret

EAT: Lunch at Maruyoshi Sushi at Osaka Kizu Market

2 Chome-2-8 Shikitsuhigashi, Naniwa Ward, Osaka, 556-0012, Japan

Located at 2-2-8 Shikitsu Higashi, Maruyoshi is just a short walk from Daikokucho Station, making it easy to reach even on a tight itinerary. The restaurant is small — around 15 seats — with a tight but welcoming layout. Expect counter seating and a few window-side spots. It’s best to arrive early (before 9:30 AM) to avoid the growing queue.

Despite its modest size, the vibe is warm and efficient. Staff are friendly, and service is lightning-fast. You’ll be handed a menu while waiting, and your order will be taken before you’re seated — ensuring your food arrives almost immediately.

We visited Maruyoshi for a sushi lunch, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. We started with a tasting of all the different cuts of tuna — the rich, melt-in-your-mouth otoro, the perfectly balanced chutoro, and the lean, clean flavor of maguro. Each piece was incredibly fresh and beautifully sliced.

From there, we indulged in a variety of sushi and sashimi, including:

Hotate (scallop): Sweet and tender
Uni sushi: Creamy and briny, a true delicacy
Unagi (grilled eel): Smoky, savory, and perfectly glazed
Ika sushi (squid): Silky texture with a clean finish
Assorted fish sushi: Each bite was a showcase of freshness

The first round was so satisfying that we couldn’t resist adding on more dishes — a testament to how good everything was. It’s one of those places where you keep ordering because each plate leaves you wanting just one more bite.

Important note: Maruyoshi accepts cash payment only, so be sure to bring enough yen with you.

Maruyoshi Sushi is a hidden gem that delivers world-class sushi without the fuss. in Osaka, this spot is worth waking up early for. With its unbeatable freshness, warm hospitality, and efficient service, Maruyoshi proves that great sushi doesn’t need to be flashy — just honest, delicious, and made with heart.

Panasonic steam oven NU-SC100WYPQ "Cutie" Product Review

I wanted to get weeks about it I purchased this item from Tangs at SGD $399. They are having a promotion of discount SGD $50 if you spend SGD $500. So i top up with a vacuum tumbler and pyrex glass dish. After several months of using, here are my comments on this cutie steam oven. This is purely a steam oven with no microwave function. One of the rare oven with no microwave function. I am ok with it as i steam fishes regularly and its a perfect addition of appliance. The other alternative is the miele steam oven and it is on offer at the same time for SGD $1600. The oven can be plugged to main power point as it is at 13 amp. Summary: Here are some of my observations using the steam oven. Buns Easy peasy for the early morning rush to work, put the char siew bao into the oven. Set it to 10 mins and you can steaming hot bun to eat for breakfast. Fish I steam fish majority of the time. It is super easy to use for steaming fish Vegetables Tr...

Kose Beauty Centre Facial Review (Isetan Scotts)

I was very very taken aback when i entered the unassuming beauty salon right in the heart of orchard. While the place is clean and design is simple, it was very sparsely furnished considering its brand name and in comparision with Yamano (the other japanese salon i went). I entered the facial premises after i passed through the hair salon. What greeted me makes my jaw dropped even more, the room is bare. There is no wall partitions for privacy, in its place are curtains hung to separate the different beds. And i am able to see all the facial therapist and guests. Each therapist handles 2 guests both at the same time!!! From My session suppose to start at 3 pm since my therapist is also handling another customer, i whipped out my phone and start playing candy crush till my therapist is available at 3.30pm. The therapist started by cleaning my face and recommending the appropriate therapy for my skin. I was advised to do the Whitening & Anti-ageing Treatment an...

Banquet -Parkroyal beach road (Wedding dinner review)

I attended a wedding in October 2013 at the Parkroyal beach road. Boy! I was in for a surprise. The hotel is newly renovated and refurbished to a very corporate and clean polished look. There is a huge area for reception. Even the exterior area is also revamped (i didn't manage to get pictures for outdoors). You can hold your ROM outdoors and have decorated to an outdoor garden setting. Yes the outdoor area is that huge! This place has changed so dramatically. By comparison, a banquet held at the same location in 2010, see review here . There is alot more room since the wedding i attended is no longer at the other ballroom. The ceilings of the ballroom are tall, creating an illusion of space and comfort.See the ballroom with the backdrop. The photo below is where the bride and the groom walks down the aisle from the back. You are guaranteed a long long walk down the aisle. Romantic backdrop for the stage in romantic flowers display. Interestingly the cham...
