A New Gem in Osaka: Sushi Seki Sancho

On June 1, 2025, the renowned Seki Sancho Group will unveil 'Sushi Seki Sancho Osaka' in the Fukshima district of Osaka. Known for its exceptional hospitality and culinary experiences rooted in bridal service standards, the group has quickly established itself in the competitive culinary scene.

Quality, Affordability, and Service

The Seki Sancho Group prides itself on procuring high-quality seafood directly from fishing ports, circumventing the market middlemen. This business model allows them to minimize operational costs while delivering high customer satisfaction through meticulously designed spaces and attentive service. The restaurant features counter seating that invites diners to watch the skilled chefs at work, creating a memorable dining performance that engages all five senses. Customers often choose this venue for significant occasions, including dates and business meetings, appreciating the warm hospitality provided by the staff, many of whom bring experience from the bridal industry.

Expanding the Sushi Landscape in Osaka

Following the success of their premium offerings, Sushi Seki Sancho Osaka marks the fourth sushi restaurant for the group. The first location, members-only 'Sushi Karasu' in Tokyo's Shimbashi, debuted in April 2021, followed by the clandestine 'Sushi Yutaka,' which has become so popular that it boasts a waiting list of up to six months. Also noteworthy is the upcoming 'Sushi Seki Sancho' in Shimbashi, set to welcome guests in March 2024, which garnered over 50 million yen through crowdfunding efforts. In contrast, the Osaka location has attracted nearly 20 million yen in support, showcasing robust enthusiasm from the community.

Tackling the Sushi Bubble with Realistic Pricing

Amid the rising 'sushi bubble' phenomenon, particularly in Tokyo, where top-tier restaurants charge upwards of 50,000 yen per person, the Seki Sancho Group is committed to offering high-quality sushi at more accessible prices. Their philosophy embraces 'healthy price disruption,' as they partner with approximately 150 fishing ports nationwide to ensure exceptional freshness and quality while drastically reducing procurement costs through their central kitchen operations. The carefully sourced seafood also benefits over 100 other restaurants, establishing the group as a responsible player in the sushi market.

Supporting the Osaka-Kansai Expo Workforce

In response to the excitement surrounding the Osaka-Kansai Expo, Takushi Yoneda, the company's representative and Osaka native, has initiated a campaign to support the workers involved. For individuals bearing the Expo staff ID (AD Card), the restaurant will offer a complimentary omakase course and all-you-can-drink options, valued at 12,800 yen. Japanese staff will be treated to half-priced omakase courses and drinks priced at 2025 yen, commemorating the year 2025. This initiative aims to not only sustain the energy of the Expo workforce but also introduce international staff to authentic Japanese sushi and hospitality. English-speaking staff will be available to assist customers.
