Savoring Authentic Sushi in Osaka, “The Kitchen of Japan” Daiki Suisan Conveyor-Belt

Daiki Suisan Conveyor-Belt Sushi Dotonbori Store

After a shopping spree in Dotonbori, one of Osaka’s liveliest districts, we stopped by Daiki Suisan Conveyor-Belt Sushi Dotonbori Store for a sushi feast. It was so delicious that it made us want to share our experience!

A Prime Spot in Dotonbori with Fresh Tuna in a Showcase Fridge as Its Landmark

At the entrance, we caught sight of a live tuna-cutting show just about to begin. This shop offers the show every afternoon!

The tuna-cutting performance was awe-inspiring, with skilled chefs expertly wielding long knives to carve a 60kg tuna in just 30 minutes. Daiki Suisan takes pride in their tuna, training most of their staff in tuna preparation. The Dotonbori Store is the only one with daily shows, although the timing varies—consider yourself lucky if you catch one during your Dotonbori visit!

The idea of tasting the freshly prepared tuna immediately drew us in.

Spacious Dining Area for a Relaxing Meal
With 130 seats, the restaurant felt open and comfortable. Sushi continuously flows on the conveyor belt, offering customers the option to take a look at the dish and choose. Orders can also be made via tablet, with menus available in English, ensuring a hassle-free experience.

The table featured two kinds of original soy sauce, which added to the enjoyment. The Matsumae soy sauce complemented all types of sushi, while the rich sweet sauce was a great accent for milder fish. Some customers even visit the store just to buy these soy sauces!

Generous Sushi Portions That Satisfy

We ordered the “Maguro Zukushi” set, recommended by the energetic staff, which featured various cuts of tuna. The toppings were so large they covered the rice completely! The menu also offered seasonal fish, sea urchin, and fried side dishes, all of which were exquisite. Paired with Daiki Suisan’s original sake, it was a meal to remember.
