Hanazakura is an Edomae sushi restaurant in Kita Ward, Osaka, near the Westin Hotel Osaka and Umeda Sky Building. It opened in September 2002 and has operated at the same address since.
The course menu starts at 13,200 JPY and includes a mix of seasonal dishes alongside the restaurant's sushi. A signature item is the anago (conger eel) sushi, made with live eel sourced daily from Senshu. In winter, the restaurant also serves ankou-nabe, a monkfish hot pot, which requires a reservation at least two days in advance. A bespoke suppon (soft-shell turtle) course can also be arranged to a guest's budget and preferences on request.
According to the restaurant, ingredients are chosen with care: fish is natural rather than farmed, vegetables are organic, and seasonings are additive-free with no added chemical flavoring. An English-language menu is available for both food and sushi.
Reservations are handled exclusively through Ikyu; the restaurant states it does not accept bookings via direct message, email, or social media. The restaurant is open nightly from 17:30 to 22:00 and closed on Mondays.
