Honfukuzushi Review

More than just a place to dine, this sushi shop, in operation for more than 180 years, is part of the Osaka experience. Back in the old days, sushi shops were strictly takeout operations, with customers bringing in their own dishes, making their orders, and then returning home to wait for geta-clad deliverers. Nowadays you eat your sushi here; best are the counter seats, where you can watch sushi being pressed in wooden molds, Osaka style. A Japanese-language menu with photos, a display case at the entryway, and a friendly staff can help with ordering. Or, if you just want to try oshi-zushi (Osakan sushi), order the hakozushi, which comes with six pieces for ¥590. Tokyo-style nigiri and maki-sushi are also available.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
