It was a delicious revolving sushi restaurant♡ Everything was delicious and the cost performance was great. If I had to say something, the rice balls were big, so it would be even better if they could make the rice smaller. The rice was normal, and the fish was really delicious.

Visited on July 30, 2023. The food is delicious~♪ So delicious~♪ Of course it's delicious (^o^;) You're eating only dishes of what color? (^^ゞ Won't take the highway on the way back haha But seriously, those huge live scallops were amazing, 2 pieces for 680 yen I think? If you eat sashimi at a regular izakaya, a single scallop this big would cost over 600 yen, so it's cheap I think (*´艸｀*) Had the sweet live scallops after a long time＼(^o^)／ Other items were also big and fresh♪ It's really a great restaurant (*^^*) Maybe one of the top rotating sushi places in Hokkaido (*´艸｀*) Next time, I'll come alone!-`ω´-)ｷｯﾊﾟﾘ!!

I visited during my trip to Hokkaido. The sushi was delicious as expected, but what really stood out was the pudding. It was a firm and rich pudding, unlike any I have ever had before.

This is a rotating sushi restaurant in Yoichi Town. I went there on a weekday for work, a little past lunchtime, but both Family Sushi and Kakizaki Shoten had long lines so I gave up. However, I was in the mood for seafood so I visited this place for the first time. Due to certain circumstances, I only had 3 plates and shrimp soup, but the cherry salmon and yellowtail were quite delicious. Also, I forgot to take a picture, but the shrimp soup was also tasty. If I become a lunch refugee again, I might come back here. Thank you for the meal~(^_^)

Sushi restaurant located along Route 5 in Yoichi town. There is parking space in front and on the side of the building. I stopped by for lunch during a hot spring drive towards Yoichi. The restaurant has the typical counter seats and booth seats, but not many of them. It was crowded during lunchtime, so I had to wait for about 15 minutes in the waiting area before being seated. The variety of sushi toppings is not as extensive as major sushi chains in Hokkaido, but they offer fresh local seafood. I had the sushi shown in the photo, and overall, I felt the quality was high. Some items seemed a bit pricey, but because the sushi was delicious, I felt it was worth it overall. I think it's a good place to enjoy delicious sushi in Yoichi.

Visited on April 23, 2023! Fresh squid for 390 yen, live squid for 390 yen, luxurious tuna 3-piece assortment for 580 yen, fresh salmon for 390 yen, tuna for 240 yen, and flounder for 160 yen. Compared to chain stores like Hanamaru and Kaisen Don, this place does not have a lunch menu, and despite the slightly higher prices, it was very crowded due to it being a Sunday. I wish the prices were a bit more reasonable.

During this Hokkaido tour, I visited Yoichi. I finally made it to the whiskey factory I had been wanting to see, but unfortunately, the restaurant was unexpectedly closed. So, I had to find lunch in this unfamiliar place called Yoichi. After some research, I found Yoichi Banya, a slightly small conveyor belt sushi restaurant located along a main road in the city. Despite it being before noon, the place was already full, mostly with locals judging by their license plates. The plates ranged from 130 yen to 580 yen, a bit higher than chain restaurants, but given the popularity of this place, my expectations were high. The menu included classic items as well as local specialties like whelk and herring. And of course, I couldn't miss out on the sea urchin. The plates kept piling up quickly, but the prices were reasonable for a local conveyor belt sushi restaurant with a lot of love from the community.

On the second day in Hokkaido, I visited Yoichi. After touring the Yoichi Distillery, I was looking for a place to have lunch and found a nice revolving sushi restaurant called Yoichi Banya. When I looked at the recommended menu, I saw herring sushi. I decided to try it, and it was delicious! I ended up eating three or four plates in a row. Herring sushi is not common in Kansai. I forgot the name, but I also enjoyed various local fish dishes. They have a wide variety of local fish dishes, and the cost is reasonable. I highly recommend it. Thank you for the meal!

In Yoichi, I finally visited the Yoichi Banya revolving sushi restaurant that I had been curious about for a while. The parking space had about 10 spots around the store, and when I arrived around 12 o'clock, there were many customers already there, with two groups of five people coming in after me. Looking at the menu, the plates were priced at 130, 160, 190, 210, 240, 290, 390, 490, and 580 yen. In addition to side dishes like soup and fried food, they also offer seasonal items like "Uni Don" and "Nanban Ebi Don." There are several affiliated stores in Sapporo, but the menu seems to be slightly different. Unlike other revolving sushi restaurants, you have to write down your order on a paper. The seating consists of about 10 counter seats and 7-8 four-person box seats. I was seated at the counter and served tea in a teacup. After quickly looking through the menu, I decided to go with the recommended items: "Local 4-piece Assortment @580," "Kumamoto Kanburi @290," and "Live Octopus @290." Although there were other tempting items, the limit for one order was three items. The sushi is hand-rolled by the chefs without using a rice cooker, which received high praise. The contents of the "Local 4-piece Assortment" included "True Hake, Live Tsubu, True Dachi, Local White Fish." It used to have 6 pieces according to an old menu, but the number of pieces was reduced to 5, then 4, which was a bit disappointing for those who prefer quantity over quality. The "True Hake" didn't have a special feel, but it might surprise people from mainland Japan. The "Live Tsubu" was chewy and delicious. The "True Dachi" was tender and juicy, very tasty. The "Local White Fish" had a good texture and freshness. The "Kumamoto Kanburi" was thickly sliced with a rich fatty flavor, very delicious. The "Live Octopus" was a favorite of mine, especially raw, and it was delicious. At 290 yen, I wish it was a bit cheaper. Everything was so delicious that I regretted not ordering the red meat. The rice had a moderate firmness with a light vinegar seasoning, and the sushi balls were lightly and skillfully made. The prices may be higher compared to major budget revolving sushi chains, but the quality of the ingredients makes it the best revolving sushi experience of my life (in the category of revolving sushi). I particularly liked how they emphasized the local ingredients. "Kantaro" was also good, but the Sapporo store doesn't have a revolving belt. The staff's service was speedy, allowing for a stress-free dining experience. If my wife and I drink beer and eat 20 plates as usual, it's likely to cost around 7,000 to 8,000 yen, which is comparable to non-revolving sushi restaurants. Yoichi Town is actually a hidden gem for seafood (the author believes this without a doubt), with a few inexpensive and delicious restaurants besides famous ones like "Kakizaki Shoten." It's worth extending your trip a bit from Otaru to Yoichi (especially now that the highway has been extended). I would like to visit this place again. Thank you for the meal.

【Yoshiban'ya】After finishing the adult factory tour with Nikka Whisky...☝️We decided to have sushi for lunch, but we hadn't chosen a restaurant yet. We had a few options in mind, so we decided to choose from them. Should we go to Otaru for sushi? Or should we search around here for sushi? Although we were hesitant, we decided to trust the locals' advice and chose a popular local restaurant that is always crowded. This restaurant is highly ranked in the top 10 revolving sushi restaurants in Hokkaido, so we decided to go there. When we entered the restaurant, the interior was clean and beautiful, with a good atmosphere. Although Yoshiban'ya is a revolving sushi restaurant, it operates on an order system, offering sushi at revolving sushi prices. The sushi was incredibly delicious, and we almost forgot to take photos because we were too busy enjoying it. Everything we tried was delicious, especially the local specialties like the "local series" and "morning catch series." The fresh morning squid was particularly amazing. We also tried the "ginger topping," "mountain wasabi topping," and "ear," as well as the "fried squid legs," and they were all so delicious that we wanted seconds of the "ear" in particular. Another rare find was the hokke sushi, which was delicious. It was my first time trying it, and the texture was firm and the skin was fatty, making it a truly exceptional experience. Hokke sushi is not commonly served raw due to parasite concerns, but I was glad to have the opportunity to try it. I highly recommend trying the hokke sashimi and sushi if you ever have the chance in Hokkaido. In conclusion, I would advise against eating sushi in Otaru. While you may get a decent meal for a high price, there is value in finding "cheap and delicious food." It's not that the sushi restaurants in Otaru are bad, but rather that they have tourist prices and price hikes. Just a little away from the tourist spots, you can find such wonderful sushi restaurants like this one. Isn't this one of the joys of traveling? #HokkaidoGourmet #Yoshiban'yaGourmet #RevolvingSushi #Sushi #Sushi #Non-revolvingRevolvingSushi #Yoshiban'ya #LocalSeriesBest #MorningCatchBest #Sushi in Yoshiban'ya #HokkaidoBest #Lagamuffin's Special Gourmet #Lagamishlan

I arrived at the restaurant at 11:45. There were 9 groups ahead of me in line. Looking at the hanging menu, I saw that they had a variety of dishes including scallops, clams, octopus, scallops, flounder, and abalone in the "live series". In the "local series", they had surf clams, octopus, fresh tuna battleship, mackerel, and hokke. They also had dishes like tempura, live oysters battleship, and yellowtail. I originally planned to just have a light snack, but after seeing the menu, I couldn't resist ordering a bit of everything. This ended up affecting the total cost at the end! However, the food was delicious. This restaurant is not found in Sapporo, but I highly recommend it. Give it a try!

I went to Yoichi (*'ω'*) For lunch, I decided to try the conveyor belt sushi restaurant that I had been curious about for a long time. I will review only the dishes that I particularly liked. *Assorted Maguro (638 yen) A set of akami, suki-mi, and chutoro. The akami made me think, "Is this chutoro?!" and the chutoro made me think, "Is this otoro?!" Very satisfying with the delicious maguro♬ *Limited Quantity: Morning Squid Ears (209 yen) *Limited Quantity: Morning Squid Legs Karaage (319 yen) I ordered two limited quantity items from the morning-caught morning squid series. Morning squid ears → The crunchy texture was delicious. Squid legs karaage → A very delicious karaage with a good crispy texture. Both were extremely fresh♬ There were also local specialties, making it possible to enjoy the unique conveyor belt sushi of Yoichi and I was very satisfied (*‘ω‘ *)

After sightseeing in Otaru, we planned to drive to the Shakotan Peninsula and stopped by the Yomichi Banya in Yomichi because we wanted to eat delicious sushi. It's a popular restaurant and we had to wait for about 30 minutes before getting a table. We ordered live horsehair crab, local sweet shrimp, a platter of three types of tuna, a platter of three types of shellfish, ark shell, sardine, squid, and scallop. I love horsehair crab, so I tried both live and regular horsehair crab. The regular one is the type you see at conveyor belt sushi restaurants, priced at 240 yen, while the live one was 390 yen. I hoped the live one would be even better since it was more expensive, but it was a bit disappointing. We also ordered a crab salad for 240 yen. Since we were in Hokkaido, we thought it might be a salad with real crab meat, but we couldn't tell if it was real crab or imitation crab. The sushi here has fresh and delicious toppings, but the rice portions are a bit small, so if you have a big appetite, it can add up to a decent amount. Thank you for the meal.

Golf round ~ Soft at Yoichi Winery ~ Sushi lunch in reverse order, but difficult to enter by turning right on the return route. There were many customers waiting even after 1:30 PM, waited for 30 minutes and got a booth seat. Had squid, wasabi, chopped mackerel, conger eel battleship, raw whitebait battleship, squid battleship, natto battleship. The bill was 1,056 yen, but with a 10% discount for adding a LINE friend, it was 950 yen. The menu looked familiar, so I looked it up and it seems that it is related to Erimo Misaki, a revolving sushi restaurant in Kikusui Motomachi! The quality of the ingredients and service seems better than the major chain stores. Thank you for the meal!

I visited here in January and had a great impression, so I decided to revisit while shopping in Yoichi. I tried various local sushi, tuna, live octopus, etc., but... the sushi didn't have the same impact as before... The ingredients were not bad, though. It's a bit disappointing that the surf clam strings were boiled as they are often served raw locally. Maybe I had too high expectations from my previous visit. Thank you for the meal.

On the second day of my trip to Hokkaido, we drove from Niseko to Yoichi and happened to discover this revolving sushi restaurant. It was quite crowded with a 45-minute wait to get in. We ordered: a 4-piece assorted sushi set (surf clam, flounder, whelk, sweet shrimp) for 539 yen, 4 plates of sea urchin for 638 yen each, medium fatty tuna for 593 yen, whelk for 429 yen (chewy), flounder for 429 yen, firefly squid for 319 yen, surf clam for 264 yen (fatty and delicious), raw sardine for 264 yen (fatty and delicious), octopus battleship sushi for 143 yen (not great), miso soup for 143 yen. The sea urchin was particularly delicious. The total bill for two people came to 3910 yen.

I came to Shakotan for snorkeling. Since it was not the right time for seafood bowls, I decided to visit a sushi restaurant instead. I mainly ate sushi from Hokkaido, checking the origin of each piece. Even if I didn't particularly like something from Yoichi, I still tried it just because. I had sushi with sailfin poacher, halibut, squid, and greenling. I found that the more unusual items may not be popular enough to be served elsewhere. I wanted to try sea urchin, but they only had saltwater sea urchin that day. It melted in my mouth quickly, although it lacked a bit of sweetness. I also tried the tuna that was recommended, but the rice didn't taste great, and the freshness was lacking. Perhaps I've become too accustomed to high-quality sushi. The homemade almond jelly and pudding were both good, with the almond jelly being firm and the pudding being sweet and creamy. The caramel wasn't bitter. The best dish was probably the sweet omelette. We got a 10% discount through a Line friend referral, which was nice. Overall, the prices weren't cheap, but if you're looking to try some unique Yoichi sushi, it might be worth a visit. Thank you for the meal!

It's been a while since I visited a conveyor belt sushi restaurant in Yoichi. They had a lot of local seafood items such as saury, shrimp, whelk, and white fish in a set of four. The fresh squid caught in the morning was from nearby areas like Yoichi, Otaru, and Furubira. The herring, known as Kitakari herring, caught in Kushiro, is said to have fast fins, but it had no fishy smell and was delicious. We also ordered tuna, which was surprisingly tasty and melted in the mouth. The chawanmushi (steamed egg custard) that my companion ordered had a whole chestnut inside, which was a pleasant surprise as other restaurants in Otaru only give half a chestnut. It was my first time in a while at a conveyor belt sushi restaurant in Yoichi, and I found the quality of the ingredients and the balance with the rice to be excellent. The prices of the plates were also reasonable. The restaurant did not give off the feeling of being a small-scale conveyor belt sushi place. The only disappointment was that when we tried to order a summer limited-time menu of shaved ice after the meal, we were told they weren't serving it yet. It seems like it's not quite summer in Hokkaido yet. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

A few days after enjoying tuna at Toi Fishing Port, I came to Yoichi Fishing Port to savor the fresh catches. I ordered saltwater sea urchin, white fish, morning squid, live abalone, Tokishirazu (type of fish), real zoi (type of fish), natural live scallop, enoki mushroom, salmon roe, seared eel, octopus, whelk, nanban shrimp, live flounder, medium fatty tuna, beer, chawanmushi (savory egg custard), and sanpeijiru (miso soup with fish). The sea urchin in May was surprisingly good. I enjoyed it with beer. However, I was very disappointed with the medium fatty tuna and scallop. Despite the advertisement of "silencing the tongue with fresh tuna," the tuna had too many sinews. And when I ordered the "natural live scallop," I was asked if I wanted it raw or frozen, which was confusing. The scallop provided was definitely not fresh and lacked the crunchy texture. It was a bit disappointing. I want to believe that it was just a one-time thing.

Visited on February 18, 2022. I had been curious about this place for a long time, "Kaiten Sushi Yochi Banya" in Yochi Town. There are no major cheap chain sushi restaurants in Yochi Town, so if it's conveyor belt sushi, it has to be here! I decided that it must be delicious and went in with high expectations. And boy, was I impressed! The quality was just as expected! There were so many local ingredients that you wouldn't find in chain restaurants. The squid nigiri with suction cups was amazingly delicious (laughs). The local soy sauce was also tasty. Among them, I was surprised by the quality of the tuna. It was a shock like when I had tuna from Oma at a conveyor belt sushi restaurant in Aomori. Not just the fatty tuna, even the lean tuna was like medium fatty tuna. The tuna trio plate... all beautifully pink (laughs). It all melted in my mouth. And it's only 480 yen... it's unbelievable, right? You can't eat this kind of fatty tuna at a normal sushi restaurant... even if it's 1,000 yen for one piece, you can't eat it. Even at a conveyor belt sushi restaurant, it would be around 500-600 yen for one piece... but to get three pieces of fatty tuna for 480 yen (laughs). Also, I ordered the toro tekka maki, but it might as well have been medium fatty tuna (laughs). It was just too delicious. And it's only 280 yen for this toro tekka maki... it's amazing. Next time, when I go to Shakotan for uni don, I'll stop by on the way back, have some tuna, and then head home (laughs). Seriously, it's so good. Thank you for the meal.
