Sushi Kawaguchi occupies the second floor of a building in Dōjima, Kita Ward, a short walk from Kitashinchi and Osaka stations. Chef Satoshi Kawaguchi opened the restaurant after eight years training at Sushi Harasho and five years at Sushi Saeki, both established names in Osaka's sushi scene, before taking the counter here as head chef.
Service runs in the evening only, with seating at 18:00 and doors open until 23:00 nightly; there is no regular lunch service, though the restaurant has occasionally announced special lunch openings on specific dates. All guests are seated for a single simultaneous start each evening, a common format at counter-only Edomae sushi restaurants where the pace of courses is set for the whole room rather than per table.
The restaurant is counter-only, and an English menu is available, making it accessible to visitors who don't read Japanese. It sits in the Luxury price tier, though the restaurant's site does not list a specific course price, so that detail is worth confirming directly when booking.
Reservations for Japanese-speaking guests go through TableCheck or by phone; Tabelog also lists a booking page. International guests are directed to a separate multilingual booking portal covering English, Chinese, and Korean. There is no parking at the restaurant, and it is reached most easily on foot from JR Kitashinchi Station or Hanshin Umeda Station, about seven minutes away, or a twelve-minute walk from JR Osaka Station.
