As one of the pioneers of aged wagyu in Osaka, thier name still going pretty strong — no signs of the quality dropping off so far.
Still, with so many new meat-focused kaiseki spots popping up, thier name isn’t quite as front and center as it used to be.
Hashiguchi is one of the best sushi experience I have had. He’s definitely one of the great masters. His nigiri looks deceptively simple while being so delicious. No bell and whistle nor LV case.
Thank you for making Hashiguchi accessible to the foreign visitors.
Will be happy to report back - booking was definitely straightforward as I was able to reserve through pocket concierge. We booked a dinner seating so may be a bit of a different experience from you and Daniel but I'm looking forward to trying it.
@Wanderlusting that’s what I did last week. Told him I would like to order a few otsumami okonomi and then nigiri set. A good way to go but that’s when I noticed Shirako being served and not on the board. Didn’t inquire if I can have it though
I am keen to try Ichimatsu but Omakase only allows a booking of minimum 2 ppl for the dates I will be in Osaka (eating solo because wife doesnt eat offals)
I will try to check again closer to my visit as sometimes odd numbers bookings will result in single seat available
in the mean time, has anyone been to Yakitori Matsuri and if it's any good ? I read it's a sister shop of Ichimatsu (solo booking is possible)
Now Haru only offers dinner course (about 10,000jpy) for non Japanese customers
If you visit, please give this new beef dish a try

I just found out the pork is called six white due to the six white markings on their four limbs, snout and tail.
On Friday, Keita is selling minced pork cutlet only, no Tonkatsu. Some people saw lots of available slots on Fri and booked without checking. So please re-check the booking form before you book in case Keita changes their schedule.
Thank you for reading my article. Hope it's helpful.
Hello, may I ask - I tried to get a reservation through a high-end hotel concierge about 3 months in advance, but they were unsuccessful when calling on the first of the month for the following month.
Is it ok to try to come in person to schedule myself with a cash deposit and over 10 days advance notice? To be clear, I don't have a reservation yet, but I will be in Tokyo for almost a month, so I can give a cash deposit for a reservation in advance if they'll let me.
If so, is there an advisable time to go? After lunch service, perhaps 14:15 or so? Thank you
