Excellent, highly recommended - Edit
Had the plate with ten different sushi pieces, each had it's own unique flavour. The matcha desert was also very creamy and with great taste. Will definitely go back, if I get a chance.

The best sushi ever - Edit
Yes better than real sushi because you aren't endangering sea critters.
Read moreIn all seriousness, this sushi was fantastic. I opted for 10 piece plate to try a little of everything and it was difficult to even choose a favorite. A big stand out was the melted cheese sushi which I ended getting an additional order of because of delicious it was. The tofu plate was also extraordinary as it had a bitter but pleasant taste. The tofu was so soft it didn't require chewing as it just melted in my mouth.
The same texture of that tofu was found in the matcha dessert which was also excellent. The staff were extremely kind and attentive to each dish they served. This is a must eat at Osaka!
Note: its difficult to make a reservation online if you're a foreigner but you shouldn't have a problem doing a walk in.

Unique & special! - Edit
My non-vegan boyfriend and I equally enjoyed our meal here. The sushi options were unique and unlike anything I’ve ever had. We sat in the small room in the back on the floor and it was a very cool experience! The service was great, food came out quickly, and ordering was done through the phone. We came around closing time so they were sold out of some items but there was still plenty to choose from. It was delicious! I highly recommend.

Superb - Edit
Do you want to have a real sushi-restaurant experience in Japan? For vegans, Shojin Suhsi in Osaka is the place to go! It's a bit hard to find because there's only a sign and a stairway at street level, but if you know that you'll find it.
Read moreDownstairs a true sushi bar awaits where the guests sit around the chef. This chef creates his sushi with the precision of a scientist, the dedication of a professional and the aesthetics of an artist. What a joy to see this man create vegan sushi right in front of the guests!
I ordered 10 pieces (1 of each available flavour) and enjoyed every single one of them. To my surprise there was no ginger to "reset" the palette, so I used water to cleanse after each piece of sushi to fully enjoy the next one. Every single piece of sushi has a balanced array of flavours and even the texture hasn't been forgotten. Everything is perfectly bite size, while vegetables are never too soft or too raw to eat. Since there's hardly any oil or seasoning, the food seemed to be very healthy.
In the end, I only have one word for Shojin Sushi Minamo: superb!
Pros: superb food, authentic Japanese sushi experience, healthy
Cons: not open on Wednesday / Thursday

Great sushi spot - Edit
We went for lunch and was super quiet. Both ordered lunch sushi platter and everything was really tasty. The place has a great, cozy vibe and staff were friendly. I loved the Tuna Cucumber one and my husband loved the mushroom ones. Would definitely come back!

Great sushi find - Edit
The restaurant is understated but stylish. You make orders with your phone so make sure it is charged. My partner really enjoyed the sushi, saying it was the best she's ever tasted.
Read moreI enjoyed it as well, but I expected a bit more with some of the flavours with some of the sushi I tried. The sake was great and the miso really delicious. We'd certainly come back again were it not for the exceptional variety of vegan restaurants in the city.

not so good - Edit
the restaurant is popular but booking asked for a japanese phone number so i couldnt book. we came early and despite the empty restaurant were seated in the small dungeon of a room where you have to sit on the floor which is uncomfortable and you feel squished.
Read morethe sushi is nothing comparable to vegan sushi in europe or US, it is just not tasty. i liked maybe one or two pieces. cold tofu is bitter but maybe thats the point. the rolls as well not good. i expected vegan sushi to be underdeveloped in japan and it is. the better one is in tokyo. prices still high and staff not very friendly.

The best sushi of our lives - Edit
We loved it. We'd go back if we were still in the city because it's the best vegan sushi we've tried in Japan. We were eager to try the rest, but what we did try was spectacular. We highly recommend the "cheese" and "omelet" sushi. The carrot "salmon" was also delicious.

Oishi sushi in Osaka - Edit
Beautifully presented and delicious vegan sushi.
Read moreWe had the miso soup, large sushi roll, ten piece plate and green tea.
All was perfect and prepared to perfection.
The restaurant was fully booked but they cleared a table for us so we didn't miss out. I recommend booking beforehand.
Pros: Delicious vegan food - no thought required. , Prompt and pleasant service.
Cons: Small space, so need to book ahead., It was pricey, but fair for the quality.
