MK Guide Recommends

Sushi Jou offers a focused omakase experience in a quiet corner of Tennoji, just a short walk from Shitennoji Temple grounds. With only ten seats at the hinoki counter, the space highlights intimacy and flow—each piece served in order, without rush or showiness. The chef works with seasonal seafood sourced locally and from Tokyo’s Toyosu Market, blending traditional Edomae techniques with Kansai flair. It’s not about reinventing but refining: aged fish, precise temperatures, and the gentle conversation that develops during the meal. Reservations are necessary, and the service is discreet yet attentive.
