After years of training at several Michelin two-star sushi restaurants, the chef has opened his own establishment in Osaka—offering a sushi experience that meets the highest expectations.

- Solo Diner Accepted
- Open for Lunch
Sushi Kawaguchi opened in February 2026 in Kitashinchi, Osaka, a district known for its many acclaimed restaurants.
Chef Satoshi Kawaguchi trained for eight years at Sushi Harasho, the only sushi restaurant in 2026 to continuously hold two Michelin stars, and for five years at the two-starred Sushi Saeki.
He later led the former Harasho location and oversaw operations after Sushi Saeki relocated to Ginza, further refining his craft in technique, creativity, and ingredient selection.
Now opening his own restaurant, he creates sushi that reflects the skills inherited from his esteemed mentors while expressing his own style. Dishes such as abalone and octopus served before the nigiri demonstrate both tradition and thoughtful pacing, creating a refined and satisfying experience.
With only 7 counter seats and limited seatings at lunch and dinner, punctual arrival and refraining from perfume are kindly requested. Guests are invited to experience the culmination of Chef Kawaguchi’s dedicated sushi journey.
