Sushi Kirimon|Sushi Restaurant in Kitashinchi, Umeda, Osaka

Origin of the name, KIRIMON

The 5-7 paulownia crest, known as “Kirimon” in Japanese, is the official emblem of the Japanese government today which was invented by Emperor Saga over 1,200 years ago.
This venerable crest had spread out with Japanese history and it has been passed down from generation to generation in many families as their family emblem.

Sushi has gained even more attention since Washoku was registered as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. By serving Sushi, a traditional Japanese cuisine and hoping to pass on this tradition not only to the Japanese but also to people in other countries, we named our restaurant “KIRIMON” after Paulownia crest, which holds great value for the Japanese people.

Identity and mission of KIRIMON

Sushi KIRIMON’s story began at 1688, the first year of the Genroku era, with the establishment of the place called "Dojima Shinchi" which became the center of commerce. Then brothels, Japanese-style restaurants, and sushi restaurants moved to "Sonezaki Shinchi" on the north side of the Sonezaki River. Now it is called "Kita-Shinchi" which has developed into the largest entertainment district in Japan, like Tokyo Ginza filled with high-class clubs and restaurants.

Located on the historic Kita-Shinchi Kamidori Street, Sushi KIRIMON will work toward our mission to inherit the traditions and culture created by our predecessors.

SETTA, Naoyuki

Started sushi chef training since 1999, his mission is to become the greatest sushi master in this world.

He has devoted more than 25 years of his life to sushi. Gained training and experience at many famous restaurants and Michelin-starred restaurants in Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka, he explored sushi all over Japan to learn the cuisine and techniques of sushi masters.

We are proud of hearing customers gratitude and satisfaction as "Glad to be here. Definitely come back again. Thank you." and that makes us even work harder.

KIRIMON’s
commitment to Sushi

The Umami of Sushi is maximized by adjusting the temperature of the rice for each Sushi ingredient.

At Sushi KIRIMON, we carefully prepare selected Sushi ingredients and use different types of wasabi for each Sushi. We also use different soy sauces as needed. All of Sushi KIRIMON's sushi is special and incredibly delicious.

Red Shari・White Shari
(Vinegered Rice)

Akazu is made from fermented sake lees. Aged for more than 3 years, it is rich in nutrients and umami, which gives the vinegar a reddish color. When blended with rice, it creates the Red Shari.

White vinegar is made from fermented rice. Blending it with rice creates the White Shari. At KIRIMON, we make our special Shari by adding the flavor of Japanese soup stock with kelp during the rice preparation.

We purchase only rice grain of size and texture that Sushi KIRIMON requires from carefully selected production areas and credible farmers in Japan.Blending different varieties of rice creates an original texture and flavor to produce the satisfactory Shari taste.

KIRIMON’s Carefully selected Wasabi for Sushi

We procure fresh and flavorful Wasabi from the famous wasabi-producing regions. At Sushi KIRIMON, we use several different types of Wasabi to complement each ingredient and the Shari.

Rare soy sauces

We use a variety of selected soy sauces for each ingredient. Sushi KIRIMON uses the best wooden barrel soy sauce selected from more than 150 varieties to enhance the flavor of the ingredients.
