I came to Hokkaido for work and had a Sunday off, so I decided to go sightseeing in Otaru! The weather was pleasant, not too hot, with a nice breeze blowing. Sushi Sushi Street in Otaru was full of sushi restaurants, just as the name suggests! There were many options, but I settled on Asahi Sushi for now. Being in Hokkaido, I had to try the octopus sashimi and of course, scallops! The octopus was a first for me, but it was incredibly delicious with a good oiliness for a white fish. The scallops were as expected, simply amazing! The sushi was top-notch in terms of the quality of the fish, but the rice was a bit off in terms of balance with the toppings. However, I still enjoyed every bite! Thank you for the delicious meal!

I received a flyer for Asahi Sushi. In Otaru, there are remnants of Hokkaido's first railway line, and walking along the old train tracks leads to Sushi Street. Asahi Sushi is located in one corner of that street. The prices are somewhat high, but the quality matches the value. The ikura (salmon roe) and uni (sea urchin) are elegantly prepared and delicious. However, the sushi rice lacks a special touch.

During a trip to watch the independent baseball league in Hokkaido, I made a reservation in advance and visited this sushi restaurant. It was around 5:30 pm, and there were already several customers there. I wasn't feeling very hungry as I was recovering from an illness, so I could only eat 4 pieces, but every sushi was amazing. A companion living in Hokkaido had told me that the sea urchin in Otaru was delicious, so despite my modest salary, I had decided to definitely try it since I received a bonus. I ordered sea urchin, salmon roe, live shrimp, and salmon. I was a bit nervous visiting a restaurant for the first time with my own money, but as I enjoyed the food, one of the sushi chefs approached me with a smile and said, "I'm not good with sea urchin, but I love the sea urchin from Otaru. You're lucky to be able to eat it only until the end of August." I was initially surprised as I had thought sushi chefs were all serious, but his friendly gesture helped me relax. Usually, I'm satisfied with conveyor belt sushi, but even with just 4 pieces, I felt incredibly satisfied. Next time, when I'm feeling better, I want to splurge and enjoy a lot more at this restaurant. It was my first time experiencing such delicious and happiness-inducing sushi. I truly think it was a great decision to go there.

If you don't have a reservation, it's tough to find a spot on Sushi Street in Otaru. I thought Otaru Masazushi might have availability, but there was over an hour wait. Surprisingly, we only waited about 20 minutes before being seated. Since we were short on time, we opted for quicker menu options. The food was delicious and exceeded our expectations.

On the third day in Hokkaido, we decided to have sushi for dinner in Otaru, and ended up at Asahi Sushi. The popular restaurants were fully booked, but we were able to get a table at Asahi Sushi as it is a relatively large restaurant. We started with a sashimi of herring for 1,600 yen. Although it was towards the end of the season, the herring was delicious with a nice amount of fat. The sushi set was 3,300 yen and we enjoyed it very much!

I couldn't get a reservation at my desired restaurant tonight, but luckily I found an open spot here. It's reasonably priced. I ordered the Asahi Sushi Selection Nigiri and Asahi Nigiri. The quality of the fish in the Asahi Nigiri was satisfying enough without needing the selection. The crab dumplings were delicious. I also ordered the fried chicken. Thank you for the meal.

I checked the reviews. I waited in line for 10 minutes, but when it was time for my turn, no one came to seat me so I had to go inside by myself. The table they finally seated me at had a pile of dirty dishes from the previous day. The seafood bowl I ordered had very little food in it. When I went to pay at the register, the cashier started making a phone call right in the middle of the transaction. I was so annoyed that I couldn't even remember how the food tasted, and I left to go to another restaurant.

3rd visit. I rented a car to come to Otaru because my nephew was coming to Sapporo. We always come to this sushi restaurant in Otaru. By the way, it was recommended by an acquaintance in Sapporo. I had a seafood bowl and chawanmushi, while my nephew had sushi and tempura. The seafood bowl had uni, ikura, and tobiko on the bottom with rice, and a luxurious sashimi assortment on top. Ordering this much and having some drinks would be nice too. This time we had tea since we were driving. By 11:30, the restaurant was almost full, but the atmosphere inside was calm and there were no large groups, which was nice. It's a sushi restaurant with a reassuring feel.

Otaru is definitely known for its sushi, so we visited this restaurant located in a corner of Sushi Street. They serve lunch and are open continuously until 8 pm. Otaru's nights are early... Some items were sold out for lunch, but we enjoyed sashimi and a small dish of sea urchin. The sea urchin dish had a generous portion and tasted excellent. It cost 4400 yen for the meal that day. Enjoying delicious sashimi, sea urchin, and sushi rolls while drinking in the evening was fantastic. The miso soup served with the sushi rolls that day was made with fresh seaweed and was absolutely delicious. Even though I knew that miso soup would fill me up, I couldn't stop eating. Overall, it was a high-quality meal and I was very satisfied.

I visited Otaru for 2 hours and decided to eat sushi there on a whim. Despite struggling to make a reservation, I was able to luckily get a table at Asahi Sushi. I ordered the Asahi Sushi Special Nigiri Set with Miso Soup for 6,600 yen. It included unique options like shrimp and abalone sushi. The scallop was particularly delicious, thick and fresh. The sea urchin was sweet and truly tasty. The only downside was that the sea urchin and salmon roe were quite small in size compared to the other sushi pieces. Overall, the sushi was delicious and I was very satisfied to have experienced eating sushi in Otaru. Thank you for the meal.

【Food】- Uni (sea urchin)- Ikura (salmon roe) bowl【Taste】The Uni is very sweet as it is natural and not treated with any additives like alum. It melts in your mouth, spreading its sweetness. The Ikura has a thin skin that pops easily, releasing its delicious flavor throughout your mouth. The Uni and Ikura complement each other well, both being top-notch quality. The sushi toppings also looked very delicious, so I would like to try their sushi set next time.【Price】- Uni Ikura bowl: 5,500 yen (currently, prices are said to be high)【Atmosphere】There are both counter seats and tables available. The wooden counter with the neatly arranged toppings creates a nice ambiance.【Notes】Nothing in particular.

A high-class restaurant with elegant staff. I tried herring sashimi for the first time, and the chewy texture was enjoyable, and the fat was delicious! I didn't know that! My friend was also very impressed with the herring sashimi. The salmon roe was also very delicious, but maybe it was still a bit too early for me who wants to try various dishes.

Sushi Street is a place where many sushi restaurants are gathered. It can be overwhelming to decide where to eat with so many options. While online reviews can be helpful, popular restaurants often have long lines or require reservations. We decided to try a restaurant with decent reviews where we could be seated right away. The sushi was fresh and the portions were generous, allowing us to enjoy a luxurious meal even in the middle of the day. The restaurant seemed to be popular, with customers coming in one after another.

Today's lunch was sushi in Otaru. Among the crowded sushi restaurants on Sushi Street, the travel agency chose a hidden gem based on word of mouth. First, cheers with Otaru beer! I found "herring sashimi" on the menu on the wall and ordered it! The refined fat and slight chewiness make it incredibly delicious. The smelt sashimi is also delicious. The sea urchin is a safe bet for sure! Truly the taste of Hokkaido. Every piece of sushi was delicious without a doubt. It was a very satisfying Otaru lunch. I enjoyed it very much. Thank you for the meal.

I haven't had sushi in Hokkaido yet, so I quickly chose this restaurant! However, the fish was still fresh and delicious with a nice thickness! Truly amazing! The sake called Takaragawa was described as dry, but it was easy to drink and delicious! I'm not very knowledgeable about sake, but I thought it paired well with the sushi. It was already past 8 pm and the restaurant was close to closing, but the atmosphere was still good.

I came to the restaurant to eat Genghis Khan at night and ordered sea urchin, fatty tuna, and Sapporo beer to satisfy my hunger. Since coming to Hokkaido, I have been eating seafood almost every day, and I have visited several places even after visiting Asahi Sushi, but this place was the most delicious! Especially, the aroma and sweetness of the sea urchin were great! My stomach and heart were both satisfied. When I come to Hokkaido again, I will definitely come back to this restaurant.

We visited this restaurant in Otaru based on a recommendation from a friend who lives there. We ordered the Asahi sushi set with 10 pieces for 3,300 yen. The sea urchin was sweet, the scallops were thick and delicious, and the abalone, crab, and flounder were all fresh and tasty. The sushi rice was small and the toppings were large, which was great. We also took some photos together. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

I want to eat sushi on Sushi Yokocho in Otaru, Hokkaido! Upon arriving in Otaru, we headed straight to Sushi Yokocho. It was snowing quite heavily, and after walking along the abandoned track of the former JR Temiya Line, the kids said they wanted to eat warm udon. The restaurant we wanted to go to was fully booked, so we ended up at "Otaru Asahi Sushi." It seemed to be a popular place, but we managed to get a table as it was still early in the day. The restaurant was quite spacious and easy to enter. I was curious about Otaru Beer, so I toasted with Otaru Beer Dunkel. It had a deep brown flavor. My wife had Otaru Beer Pilsner. Since we came all the way here, we decided to order the luxurious Asahi Sushi selection sushi set (with miso soup) for 5,500 yen. The kids also wanted the same. The set included hirame, maguro otoro, awabi, maguro akami, botan ebi, hotate, uni, ikura, zuwai-gani, toro salmon, hotate-gai, tamago-yaki, and aburi toro - a total of 12 pieces. The otoro, uni, and toro salmon were all deliciously sweet. The botan ebi had eggs inside and was also very good. The crunchy texture of the awabi was also enjoyable. The younger one seemed to have developed a liking for awabi after trying uni. We also had Chitose Tsuru Junmai Nama, a sake named after the restaurant. It was easy to drink and paired well with the sushi. Of course, they also have various more affordable sets and individual items available.

I always introduce this sushi restaurant to my friends, who are always grateful for the recommendation. I always sit at the counter and leave it up to the chef, and I am always satisfied with the quality of the sushi. The fish and rice are excellent, and among all the sushi I have eaten, this place is definitely in the top three. In Tokyo, a similar quality of sushi would easily cost over 30,000 yen, but here it's around 10,000 yen. In Hokkaido, the service may not be as good as in the city, but the quality of the sushi is on par, so you can expect to pay around 50,000 yen for a similar experience.

The shop specializes in serving fresh seafood sourced from Tsukiji. They offer continuous service without a break in the afternoon, and children can also sit in the tatami area. The chu-toro, hakkaku, and hotate were delicious! The sea urchin was also decent. The fish was tasty, but there is room for improvement in the sushi rice. The miso soup with wakame was included, and the local wakame was very delicious. The prices could be a bit cheaper, but considering the clean and beautiful interior, it seems reasonable. If you end up waiting a long time at a conveyor belt sushi restaurant and end up spending a decent amount, it's better to come here.
