Amazing vegan sushi!

A small restaurant tucked away in a basement, friendly staff and amazing sushi.

Very glad to have the opportunity to try sushi whilst in Japan.

We had the sushi assortment and each piece was creative and delicious.

We also tried the tofu which was so silky and a great dish.

Make sure you stop by if you're in Osaka!

Great place

Comfy vegan sushi restaurant with nice people working there. There was gluten-free soy sauce and the sushi set I ordered was fully gluten-free. It was very tasty and definitely best sushi I ever had.

Pros: Taste, Lot of options, Gluten-free

Great vegan sushi!

Great options and choices. Loved the vegan twist on traditional sushi. My partner isn’t vegan and even he loved it (rated overall 7.5/10).

My favourite was the avocado roll (can’t remember what they were called) and the soy meat sticks.

Definitely recommend!

Pros: Chilled atmosphere , Great food , Good options

Cons: Very quiet

Delicious vegan & gluten free sushi

I had a great time at this cozy Japanese sushi restaurant. Everything on the menu is gluten-free and vegan. The atmosphere is really nice, and all the seating is at the bar, which gives it a relaxed and personal feel. The sushi was really tasty, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. I would definitely recommend this place!

A must try!

What an experience! A small, authentic sushi restaurant just a short walk from Shinsaibashi station.
It's quite pricey (but well worth it) with single dishes ranging from about ¥450 to ¥880. Mixed plates are available if you want to try a wide selection or for sharing.

A relaxed atmosphere with about 12 seats around the kitchen area, you can watch the chef plate up everything to the sounds of relaxed old school jazz.

Ordering is by qr code, and you're asked to order only one or two items at a time. The staff (all 2 of them) were lovely and clearly love what they do.

This is definitely a restaurant I'd happily go back to.

Pros: Relaxed vibe, Delicious food

Simply amazing! | 紛れもなくお寿司!

Visited before 14:00, no reservation needed. The lunch menu came with nigiri, gunkan and maki-sushi of the day. All were aesthetically pleasing! As a Japanese, it surprised me how they gave that authentic delicate taste. They creatively recreated seafood-like flavors for some, while others were completely new (super delicious ofc). Definitely recommended 🙌

お昼頃伺い予約なしで入れました。お店の雰囲気がとてもよく、「回らないおすし屋さんだ」と少し緊張したくらいです。日替わりの精進寿司はどれも抜群に美味しくて、繊細な味を楽しめました。炙ったしいたけ、しそと梅が効いた巻き寿司、きのこ類の蟹味噌風がのった軍艦巻きなどなど。海鮮ネタはもちろん一つもないですが、紛れもなく美味しいお寿司でした。デザートにいただいた抹茶羊羹も美味!オススメです👍

Pros: Superb vegan sushi, Great atmosphere , Reasonable price

Perfect Sushi

It is at basement. No big logo at outdoor. I ask the shop next door before I located it.
The sushi is very good. I like the soup. Many choices and all are tasty. If you’re around here, pls try this.

Absolutely delicious

This sushi is divine. So tasty. Every bite I was making “mmmmmmm” noises. The sushi roll has something in it that I couldn’t figure out what it was that was so good.
I went for dinner and it would be a great lunch spot.

Pros: Tastes so good, Super friendly staff, Nice cosy feel to it

Vegan sushi!

Lunch set includes a variety of different flavours. Could’ve ate more, but there was no option for a la carte ordering, at least at lunch time.

One of a kind

Quite simply the best vegan sushi I’ve ever had, better than most omakase. Transformative usage of ingredients and impeccable presentation are too good to miss, this is definitely worth a visit. The 10 piece special was incredible and the matcha yokan was a delight. The staff and ambience were fantastic— would highly recommend a visit if you’re in Osaka.

Must-eat!

The sushi was delicious and the place is very charming. Definitely a must when in Osaka.
It was a bit hard to find as the address here and on Google Maps was not 100% right. It’s right next to Mondialkaffee328 and LIPPS hair.

10/10!

This was such a delightful surprise! I was so happy and fulfilled.
I never thought I’d get to experience an authentic Japanese sushi dining experience because I’m vegan. Then this gem of a place opened up!

I hope they get a Michelin star.

Pros: Atmosphere , Venue, plating, seating , Everything else

Delectable Vegan Sushi

So happy to have found and tried Shojin Sushi Minamo for our last dinner in Japan. The meal did not disappoint and my husband and I enjoyed every bite! We ordered the steamed soy meat skewers, a couple of assorted sushi plates, eggplant nigiri, extra mushroom nigiri, and a 2-piece roll. All delicious!

Heerlijk

Enorm verfijnd, veel keuze. Het assortiment sashimi van 10 stuks is een aanrader.

Best Japanese food this trip!

Took forever to find the place as the location was wrong on Google Maps and here. Should be fixed now. Look for the white entranceway with stairs down (see photos)

Food was delicious. Finally some complex flavors. Most of the vegan I'd found in Japan was too simple for me, so this was a nice welcome change.

Atmosphere was nice. Smooth jazz and air conditioned. Not too crowded (tho it's tiny, only 15 people or so could fit). Was a really nice place to relax and enjoy. All seating was at the bar and I enjoyed watching the chefs prepare things.

You order from the menu, which is only in Japanese. There are photos, but best to use a browser with translation built-in. Ordering is convenient once you cross the language barrier.

Very Good Sushi - Reasonable Price

Vegan sushi tasted great. I got the 10 piece platter, gyoza, and sesame tofu. It all tasted great and the presentation was great too. It almost looked like it uses real fish but it's all made from plants.

Pros: Great atmosphere, Good price, Tasty

Great Vegan Sushi

I was really impressed by this vegan sushi experience. There is a wide variety of vegetable based offerings, from carrot "salmon" to kabocha "tamagoyaki" sushi. It's the first of its kind in Osaka, and has an excellent location steps away from Shinsaibashi station. After establishing Paprika Shokudo and Shinsekai Paprika for 10+ years before, the ownership has created a fully new experience here, and it surely will be a must-stop in Osaka. Visit when you can!

Pros: Wide variety of vegan sushi, Reasonable pricing, Convenient location

Lovely high-class feel

I am super excited to have a vegan sushi place in Osaka. While most of the toppings are vegetables rather than mock meats, they do offer protein options like skewers and tofu (and I think the fake tamago).
Staff was super friendly and I really enjoyed my visit!
