Sushidokoro Kurosugi occupies a single ten-seat counter in Dōjimahama, within Osaka's Kita Ward, close to the Kitashinchi district. Chef Kurosugi Akihiro sources tuna through the specialist wholesaler Yama-Kō and pairs it with shari made from low-acid, sugar-free red vinegar rice, a style intended to avoid the heaviness of richer preparations.
The omakase runs ten courses over roughly ninety minutes, served at both lunch and dinner. Lunch service is available Tuesday through Saturday, while dinner runs in two seatings most days and is limited to a la carte-style evening hours on Monday. The restaurant is closed Sundays, aside from occasional special openings announced separately.
Per-person pricing runs about ¥18,000, and sake pairing is offered alongside the set menu. The dress code is smart casual, and an English-language menu is available, which makes the reservation and ordering process more manageable for visitors from abroad. There is no private room; the counter is the only seating, which keeps the room small and the chef's interaction with each guest direct.
The restaurant is listed in the Michelin guide. Reservations are handled through Tabelog, and booking difficulty is rated moderate rather than requiring the multi-month lead times common at some Osaka counters. Credit cards are accepted; this is not a cash-only establishment.
Good to know

- The ten-course omakase runs approximately ¥18,000 per person, with a sake pairing available as an add-on.
- Is there a dress code?

- Can I have lunch there instead of dinner?
- Yes, lunch omakase is served Tuesday through Saturday, in addition to the two dinner seatings offered most evenings.
