I used to go to the Stella Place store in Sapporo often. This time, I was looking forward to visiting the main store for the first time as it was part of my travel plans to Nemuro. The store looks impressive compared to the station building store. The inside of the store was very crowded, maybe too crowded? Some customers seemed angry, and it felt like the store wasn't running smoothly. Unlike the Stella Place store, where I could go shopping while waiting, there was a tense atmosphere here. The staff also seemed less energetic compared to Sapporo. I wonder if they could improve with someone more capable? I often go to popular restaurants, so I think there are good examples to follow. I tried fresh herring for the first time and it was delicious.

I visited a revolving sushi restaurant in Nemuro. I arrived around 6:00 pm on the Saturday after the Obon holiday and had to wait for 45 minutes before being seated. I tried various dishes, including Sanpei soup, and finished with a milk pudding. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

I visited the main branch of Nemuro Hanamaru in Nemuro. It is a famous conveyor belt sushi restaurant known for its delicious food. Every dish was fresh and tasty, as expected from Nemuro. Among them, the sushi topped with plenty of fresh ginger and sardine was exquisite. I would love to visit this restaurant again when I come back to Nemuro.

I visited around 4 o'clock in the evening. It is located about a 10-minute walk from Nemuro Station. It seemed to be just before it got crowded, as more and more customers arrived later. I have visited Nemuro Hanamaru in Tokyo several times, but this was my first visit to the main store. Everything I ordered was delicious, and the sushi here is slightly cheaper than in Tokyo. The seasonal items like Hanasaki crab were especially tasty. I tried Wakame seaweed tempura for the first time, and it's a taste that may vary depending on personal preference. We ate and drank, and the bill came to just under 5,000 yen. Thank you for the meal.

When I went to Nemuro, I decided to visit the main store. It was around 3 PM but it was full. It's popular, isn't it? I was seated at the counter and ordered miso soup with clams instead of shotgun soup. Then I ordered clams, red clams, scallops, hand-rolled salmon roe, dried fish, and sea bream, among others. The crunchy texture of the clams was amazing. The dried fish was also delicious. The hand-rolled salmon roe was luxurious and had a popping texture. Well, it was delicious. However, it seemed that the kitchen was busy, as the miso soup came out last. A dessert, perhaps? I may have eaten too much for a snack, but I was satisfied with the delicious food. Thank you for the meal.

Rotating sushi Nemuro Hanamaru Nemuro branch came with a handwritten menu, and the chef greeted us. I decided to order a menu that can only be eaten in Hokkaido. I tried the asparagus roll, which I wouldn't normally order, but since it's Hokkaido asparagus, I gave it a try. It was soft and delicious. The Nemuro-produced ikura wrap had plenty of ikura and was delicious. I also ordered the kajika soup. What is kajika? I later found out it's a fish like hake or goby. I wonder how it tastes... It was just like regular miso soup haha. And then there was wakame tempura - what's that! But when I ordered it, it was actually wakame with a crispy coating. I've had enough of this now.

I visited "Nemuro Hanamaru - Nemuro Main Store" in Nemuro, where I travel 1-2 times a year, for lunch for the second time. The first time I visited at night and surprisingly had no trouble sitting at the counter for lunch. I ordered large scallop sushi, botan shrimp, tarako kombu-zuke, crab miso gunkan, and fish soup. As expected from Nemuro Hanamaru Main Store, the sushi was fresh and the portions were generous. I was impressed. They also have a variety of unique sushi toppings, so I am considering revisiting next time I am in Nemuro. Thank you for the delicious meal.

The Nemuro Hanamaru located above Sapporo Station is always crowded with long waits on weekends. I went to the main store, Nemuro Hanamaru Nemuro Honten, around 1 pm on a weekday, prepared to wait. Luckily, I was able to get a seat without waiting. The menu included fresh and fatty herring from Abashiri, crunchy tsubugai (whelk), and a two-tiered scallop sushi with plenty of scallops piled on top, all of which were delicious. However, on this day, the rice felt slightly cold, which was a bit disappointing. It would have been better if the rice was a bit warmer.

Visited on a Saturday evening. It was already full, so I had to wait for about 20 minutes before being seated. I have been to Hanamaru in Tokyo and Sapporo before, and the menu structure is similar. However, there seem to be items unique to this location. The local specialties like flounder and sea pineapple offer good value for the price. There is also a variety of soups available, and I tried the miso soup with vegetables, which had a gentle flavor and was a perfect way to end the meal.

Arrived in Nemuro and took a break. I considered other restaurants but ultimately decided on this one. I wanted to try the soup that I missed out on at the Chubetsu shop last time, so I chose the Sanpei soup with ice fish from today's menu. It was light and salty. I wrote down a few sushi dishes and the soup on the order sheet and submitted it, but the staff kindly served the soup after I had eaten some sushi, so I didn't feel too full.

This place is amazing. Hanamaru Honten has delicious food. The menu is small, but the quality of the ingredients is high. The salmon roe was especially outstanding. Although it's the season for Pacific saury fishing, it wasn't on the menu. Perhaps the quality of the fish isn't up to par for serving. Starting from September 12th, they will be introducing a new dish, so I assume Pacific saury will be featured. It surpasses Kushiro Festival and even North Pacific Triton and Kushiro Harusai Nagoyaka-tei.

Rooted in a quiet area with few people, Nemuro gives off a lonely impression. I decided to stop by here for a late lunch before dinner. I was surprised by how crowded it was outside. The contrast between the quiet atmosphere outside and the bustling inside was quite striking. I ordered the daily special from the menu board and found it to be delicious. The cold sake was priced at 770 yen, the green plate at 297 yen, and the fireworks plate at 462 yen each. The service, however, was lacking. I believe that with better operation, this place could avoid such issues. I strongly hope for improvement.

- Hanasakigani Battleship (Nemuro) Thick and muscular texture, but the taste is relatively mild. I could feel the freshness. - Hotate (Nemuro) Large and voluminous, but compared to what I had at the Sapporo branch before, it was a big letdown. It had a strong smell that overpowered the sweetness. Not good. - Black Halibut (Nemuro) Light flavor like pastel colors. The presence of ginger on top was too strong. Well, it's okay. - Fresh Sardines (Nemuro) Good oiliness, no smell, and good freshness. It had the most punch among what I had this time. - Ikura Best here. The popping texture of the salmon roe is great. Fresh taste with a hint of the sea, a dish that makes good use of Hokkaido's local ingredients. - Tsubugai Like the scallops, it had a strong smell. Probably frozen. It also lacked moisture. - Saimaki Ebi The more you chew, the more you feel the pleasant sweetness. - Red Sea Squirt It would be nice to have it with sake. A unique taste with a hint of the sea flavor, a taste that may divide opinions. - Taraba Crab Miso Battleship A rare delicacy. A good snack for sake. It didn't have much of a crab taste, but it was still delicious. A dish that you won't see outside of Hokkaido. - Cucumber Fish Like shishamo, it has a sharp taste like smelt. A niche ingredient, but it has Hokkaido's uniqueness. - Unfortunately, there was no Pacific saury that I was looking forward to. It was a bit disappointing. There weren't many new ingredients that day, and the lack of variety was noticeable. In addition, there were some poor quality ingredients like scallops and tsubugai, which was disappointing. In the past visits to the Sapporo branch, I have never received poor quality ingredients, so this was unfortunate. In the end, it turned out to be a parade of subtle ingredients, but it actually became a good memory in its own way. However, I really wanted to try the famous Pacific saury at Hanamaru Nemuro... Thank you for the meal!

I went to Nemuro for this. I arrived after 4 pm so I was able to get in without waiting in line. It's recommended to go at odd hours like this because it gets really crowded around 6 pm. The seating capacity is not that big, but the variety of sushi is definitely larger than in Tokyo. The quality is fresh and the prices are reasonable even if you eat a lot and drink. You should definitely go at least once.

I researched online and tried the recommended dishes! Two-tiered scallops! Two-tiered tuna! Two-tiered bincho maguro! Two-tiered cucumber fish! Two-tiered shimesaba! They were all delicious! I want to go back again! The ikura was generously overflowing and I was grateful for that! The octopus head was also delicious! However, the ikura was a bit lacking in volume... The drink menu was a bit limited, which was a bit disappointing. The cost performance is not particularly cheap either... But the recommended dishes were exceptionally delicious! They were way better than your average sushi restaurant! I want to go back again! ＼(^o^)／ It was delicious!

I challenged the main store of one of Japan's top conveyor belt sushi restaurants in Sapporo. I expected the sushi and atmosphere to be great, but perhaps because it was nighttime, there was a slight shortage of scallops and other ingredients, making it feel like a normal conveyor belt sushi place? The ingredients were good, but the refined feeling of Sapporo was lacking. Still, I'm happy to have been able to visit the main store.

It was a regular night, but I was worried if it would be crowded because of the fireworks festival. Surprisingly, it was smooth and the seats were not crowded. The sushi was delicious and satisfying, but compared to the conveyor belt sushi in Kushiro that I am used to, the variety of fish was a bit limited. Well, it doesn't bother me since I always order the same thing.

The final JR train to Kushiro departs after 7 pm. Since there was still some time, I decided to stop by the main branch of Nemuro Hanamaru, a revolving sushi restaurant. As expected, it was a popular spot and I had to wait for about 20 minutes. Once seated at the counter, I noticed that each plate had a flag with the name of the sushi written on it - a great idea! The LED lighting directly above made all the sushi look beautiful. I started with today's recommended menu and had 5 plates. The flounder was delicious with a nice amount of fat. The squid was tender and sweet. The marinated flounder had a subtle taste of kelp. The raw salmon had a unique Hokkaido flavor. The medium fatty tuna was decent. There were many types of sushi that you wouldn't find in the Tokyo branch. Overall, I was very satisfied with the experience. The bill came to 1,771 yen.

I first tried sushi at the KITTE Marunouchi branch of Nemuro Hanamaru, a conveyor belt sushi restaurant in Tokyo. I was impressed by the sushi they served. It has been about 3 years since then, and I finally made it to their main branch. Even on a Sunday at 5 pm, there was a 30-minute wait, showing how popular it is. I enjoyed the Kushiro specialty Hanasaki crab, tsubugai (whelk), and chu-toro (medium fatty tuna from southern India). They were delicious, but I was a bit disappointed that it didn't have the same impact as the KITTE branch.

I stayed at a budget hotel near the station in Nemuro, so I ended up walking quite a bit. Even though it's summer, it was quite chilly in Nemuro. I waited in line for about 40 minutes before getting into Hanamaru. The food was delicious. Thank you for the meal.
