What Japanese guides note
Located on the fourth floor of the Gallery Building in Higashishinsaibashi, the restaurant operates under the formal shop name Omakase Sumi (墨). Because services center around synchronized counter preparation of sushi and carved beef cuts, diners are expected to arrive punctually for their booked slots. The building sits in the grid of streets between Shinsaibashisuji and Sakaisuji, accessible from either Shinsaibashi Station Exit 5 or Nagahoribashi Station Exit 7.

Frequently asked
How can diners make reservations for this restaurant?
Reservations can be arranged directly by telephone at 090-8129-5414 or booked online through reservation services such as TableCheck. Because all omakase courses require specialized ingredient procurement and live counter service, advance reservations are strongly advised before visiting the fourth-floor dining space.
What course durations and structures are available?
Guests select among three structured course lengths: the 13-course Sumi menu lasting 60 to 75 minutes, the 15-course Bokuga menu lasting 75 to 90 minutes, or the 20-course Bokushou menu running 120 minutes. Each menu combines seasonal seafood sushi courses with tableside-carved Japanese Wagyu dishes.
Are alcoholic drinks or pork ingredients allowed on the menu?
No. The restaurant maintains an entirely pork-free and alcohol-free kitchen tailored specifically for Muslim guests seeking authentic Japanese cuisine. Traditional cooking wines such as mirin and sake are omitted from the marinades, sauces, and broths, and no alcoholic beverages are served anywhere on site.
