A restaurant that has appeared on TV multiple times. I have passed by many times and always thought about going but never did. Finally decided to give it a try during lunchtime when I was thirsty. It was highly praised on TV, but how was it really? I ordered the "seafood bowl" and the "beer" bowl, which came with sushi on the side! The seafood bowl was served on a shallow plate with a thin layer of rice and sashimi on top. The slices of fish were quite thin. The taste and freshness were... okay. Not amazing. But it worked well as a beer snack. The sushi, although different types, had a similar quality to the seafood bowl. The surf clam neck was a nice appetizer with the beer. I finished everything. The ice-cold beer was delicious on a hot day. I believe it's tough to maintain quality without raising prices in this era of high costs. The restaurant was filled with signs and photos from when it was featured on TV. Thanks to this place, many people from outside the area have probably thought, "Hokkaido is amazing, interesting, I want to go!" Keep up the good work!

The restaurant was featured on TV, so I had put off going for a while. I thought it had calmed down by now, so I decided to visit. There was no parking lot, and it faced a big street (Nishi 5-chome Tarukawa-dori: commonly known as Kitao-dori), so parking on the side of the road was out of the question. I parked at a parking lot a little further north. The restaurant was not full, and I was able to sit down easily. However, the seat I was initially led to was cramped and my legs couldn't fit. I ended up moving seats due to another customer, and ended up lucky with a counter seat with more legroom. However, as soon as I entered the restaurant, I noticed a certain smell. It was that smell of wooden fish crates used in the past for unloading fish from ships at the fishing port or at wholesale and intermediate wholesalers. It was fishy and somewhat nostalgic. Back then, they used to be quite smelly, but nowadays with styrofoam or plastic bags or lots of ice, they don't smell as much. I might just be oversensitive, but my partner agreed, so it might be a problem for some people. It may be unavoidable in the back yard, but I don't think it's a good smell to have as soon as you enter the restaurant. The menu was a bit confusing. Uni seemed to be the specialty, but I'm not a big fan of uni. I decided on the Bincho Maguro Don by process of elimination. The price was not listed in that part of the menu, but I guessed it would be around 2000 yen (which turned out to be correct). My partner had been to this restaurant before it moved here, and back then they also had regular set meals, but now it's mainly seafood. When the order arrived, it was questionable whether I could finish it all. I started with the side sushi, which included good shrimp and surf clam. However, there were some items that were a bit iffy, with a mix of good and not-so-good ones. The main Bincho Maguro Don was not great, watery and almost tasteless fish that felt like I was forcing myself to eat with soy sauce. It was a large portion, and I managed to finish it somehow.

I had the two-sword style menu with a set of nigiri sushi and seafood bowl. The set included 10 pieces of nigiri and 28 pieces of seafood bowl toppings from 7 different varieties. It was a huge portion, but the freshness was not really there. It might be good for those who want to eat a lot, but it lacked that special charm. I wonder if their seafood set meals have better freshness. It's quite doubtful. They appeared on TV, so maybe it's a delicious place, but I'm not sure. Thank you for the meal. I will probably give it another try.

About a 5-minute walk from the station, there are counter seats and regular seats. As shown in the photo, the portions are large. The freshness didn't seem great, but for those who want to eat a lot, it might be the best in terms of cost performance. I couldn't finish it and ended up taking the leftovers home in a pack.

The restaurant only offers a menu called "Nito-ryu". There are mixed reviews online, with some saying it's delicious and others criticizing it for various reasons like the sushi rice being microwaved, the fish being sprayed with mist, a fishy smell, rude attitude of the owner, and overcooked miso soup. I personally visited the restaurant and despite the negative reviews, I found the food to be okay. It did have a slightly fishy smell, but considering it's raw fish, it was expected. The color of the sushi may vary depending on the day. One thing for sure is that one serving is enough for one person and sharing is not allowed, so it might be challenging for groups of women. During my visit, there were two middle-aged couples from Osaka who came after seeing the restaurant on TV, followed by a family of three.

It was introduced on a popular TV show as a great restaurant. For only 2000 yen, you can get 10 pieces of sushi with a length of 3 pieces each, and 28 slices of sashimi. They also have a special Otoro bowl with 16 pieces of Otoro for the same price. The restaurant is small with only 8 counter seats and 2 tables, and it seems to be run by the master and his wife. I went there around 11:30 am on a weekday and it was already quite crowded with 8 people. When you sit at the counter, the master will ask you to choose from seafood bowls like seafood bowl, salmon bowl, tuna bowl, or a half and half tuna and salmon bowl, all for 2000 yen. I ordered the seafood bowl, which was served on a flat plate with 4 pieces of bintoro, 4 pieces of shime saba, 4 pieces of octopus, 4 pieces of tuna, 3 pieces of sardine, 4 pieces of white fish, and 4 pieces of salmon. Each piece was delicious, especially the tuna and sardine. The sushi included tuna, conger eel, eel, skipjack tuna, white fish, salmon, Otoro, scallop, surf clam, and red shrimp. Although the fish may not be super fresh, the portions were generous and I left feeling satisfied. Thank you for the meal!

I had been curious about this place for a while. As you can see, the volume is amazing. The sushi was delicious, especially the shrimp and abalone which was thick and crunchy, although a bit tough for my liking. Just the sushi alone was quite satisfying, but the second half of this seafood bowl was a bit challenging for me! I recommend it for those who are confident in their stomach capacity. Thank you for the meal.

I visited the restaurant the day before, but unfortunately it was closed. I arrived at the opening time of 11:00 and entered the shop to find no other customers. The menu posted inside only had one option, the "Nitōryū" set (sushi 10 pieces and seafood bowl) for 1,700 yen. When I asked if there were any other options, I was told that most tourists order the Nitōryū set and that the only other options were the cheaper ones posted outside, which are only ordered by local customers. My daughter has a small appetite, so she ordered the tuna bowl for 550 yen, while I ordered the Nitōryū set. Both dishes were generous in portion size and had good value for money, but the fish was a bit watery and the taste was disappointing (just my personal opinion). We stayed at the restaurant for about 45 minutes, but there were no other customers besides us. This place was featured on a TV show in the past, so it might be worth visiting for a story, but I probably won't visit again. Thank you for the meal.

The structure of the long-established BM store "Miyuki-chan Shokudo" from a long time ago... "Miyuki-chan" is... Who? Putting aside the insensitive question, when you open the door with a facade that feels old-fashioned, you enter the store and smell a strange smell... I think sushi restaurants should smell like vinegar... Two customers ahead, two people... "It will take a little time," said the owner. We sat at the counter near the wall, poured our own water into paper cups, and waited. After finishing the dishes for four customers ahead, they took our order. We ordered the "Special Seafood Bowl Set for 1,100 yen" and the "Special Assorted Sushi 10 pieces for 1,100 yen." About 30 minutes after entering the store, the food was ready. The ingredients of the seafood bowl were "tuna, salmon, cured mackerel, and hokkaido scallop"... Honestly, all the ingredients seemed to lack freshness, and some seemed watery, possibly due to thawing issues (I can't write more details here, so please understand). The side dishes included "changja, tarako with cod roe, fukujin pickles, etc."... Changja was okay to eat, but the tarako was too fatty (I won't elaborate further, so please understand). The miso soup contained "baby scallops"... The broth was rich, but it seemed overly concentrated (I couldn't finish it). The sushi included "red shrimp x2, hokkaido scallop, salmon, tuna, hokkaido herring, conger eel, kazu-no-ko, scallop, and minke whale"... The rice was slightly soft, but within an acceptable range, and the vinegar was mild. This restaurant may be suitable for those who want to eat a lot of seafood at a low price. Thank you for the meal. Please also refer to the following site: https://www.jalan.net/gourmet/grm_alikejpB000693188/kuchikomi/0001829353/

I visited for lunch♪ There was no parking lot, so I parked at a nearby coin parking. I arrived at 12 o'clock and there were no customers, so I entered right away♪ The owner kindly explained the recommended dishes! I ordered the set with a seafood bowl and sushi, known as the "two-sword style"! I was worried if I could finish it all~ But the owner said, "Even women can finish it~" so I waited anxiously and then... Ta-da! Here it came♪ A seafood bowl filled with fresh sashimi toppings♡ There were also 10 pieces of sushi! There was even whale meat sushi, which I tried for the first time. The miso soup had shrimp heads in it, giving it a strong shrimp flavor. It was delicious!!! The sushi rice wasn't too big, so I could easily eat it all haha. They said, "You can surprisingly finish it, right?!" lol I had no problem at all haha. The seafood bowl had a variety of fish like white fish, salmon, tuna, and horse mackerel! It was so satisfying haha. I wonder if the owner and his wife run the place together? I started to worry a bit about their profit lol, but I was grateful for the delicious meal at a reasonable price♪ Thank you for the meal~

A famous restaurant that has been featured on TV. The walls are covered with photos from when they appeared on TV and signatures from celebrities. I debated between ordering sushi or a seafood bowl, but I decided on the seafood bowl. It arrived after about 10 minutes, and the portion size was huge. There was tuna, salmon, octopus, shrimp, scallops, and even whale meat! I kept wondering how they could offer it at such a low price. If you're not confident in your eating abilities, you might want to think twice before ordering. Being close to Hokkaido University, it seemed like there were a lot of students dining there. Thank you for the meal.

The menu consists entirely of sashimi. I was tempted by the menu that included sushi, but I was worried that I wouldn't be able to finish it. It was my first time, so I ordered the seafood bowl. There were no wet towels, but it seems they sell tissues. The plate also came with a variety of sashimi side dishes. However, the normal size portion is not too large, so even women should be able to eat it all and feel satisfied. If you're looking for good value for money, I think it's okay. When it arrived, I was first struck by the colors of the sashimi. The owner seemed like a nice person. Thank you for the meal!

It's been a while since I visited Miyuki-chan's set meal restaurant. My workplace has changed, and now I can walk to this place. The popular seafood bowl seems to be just as good as before, but the recommended dish at the restaurant is the "Nito-ryu" set for 1700 yen. It includes a seafood bowl with 7 different kinds of seafood, 10 pieces of assorted sushi, miso soup, and 3 side dishes. The seafood is mostly frozen, but there were a total of 31 pieces of fish in the meal, making it more affordable than conveyor belt sushi. The menu is rich and satisfying, and it was a great meal. Thank you.

This restaurant is famous among tourists, but when I visited around 2pm, there was only one person inside. The restaurant has a strict policy of no smartphone use during meals. I ordered the "two-sword style" meal which includes a choice of 5 different set meals and sushi. I chose the seafood bowl. The seafood bowl was served on a flat plate with sashimi covering the rice completely, so you couldn't see the rice. The sushi pieces were large in size, both the toppings and the rice. In terms of quality, it was worth the price. To have a delicious seafood bowl in Hokkaido, you would usually have to pay around 2,000 to 3,000 yen.

I had made a lunch reservation at Yasiro in Maruyama, but despite having a reservation, they sat me at a table with another family with children! What a ridiculous situation! I immediately declined and left the restaurant. So, I ended up going to Miyuki-chan Shokudo instead. It was my first time there, so I was looking at the menu posted on the wall trying to decide what to order when the man in the kitchen started rushing me. I couldn't quite understand what he was saying, so I just decided to go with the seafood bowl. It tasted like it was neither fresh nor stale. The overall atmosphere of the restaurant, along with the menu posted, made me feel like the freshness was lacking.

A few years ago when I visited, the restaurant was not full. This time, I had some errands nearby and decided to stop by. It was a little after noon when I arrived, and there were only two other customers. I looked at the handwritten menu on the wall, and the owner explained the dishes from inside without showing their face. I ordered the 1080 yen seafood bowl, which arrived promptly. The presentation was not as impressive as it looked in magazines. There were various types of seafood and plenty of toppings, but each piece was small and thin. I guess that's necessary for them to make a profit. The taste was decent. Personally, I found it difficult to pick up the sushi rice as it tended to fall apart easily. It's a bit wasteful, but using disposable chopsticks made it easier to eat. The meal came with a side dish, pickles, and miso soup, so I left feeling satisfied.

A popular restaurant known for their jumbo-sized dishes. Their signature dish, a seafood bowl set with 10 pieces of sushi, is only 1500 yen! Such a great deal! It's called the "two-sword style" menu. It's hard to even call this a seafood bowl anymore, haha. It's a variety of toppings on top of the seafood bowl, including kelp rolls and salted fish eggs. The seasoned toppings are placed on top of shells to prevent the flavors from mixing. The seafood included squid, mackerel, and amberjack, which were delicious. However, some of the other toppings were not as tasty, which was a bit disappointing for a restaurant in Hokkaido. But it was still fun and exciting due to its novelty. It can get really crowded, but we went early and didn't have to wait at all! That was a relief.

Another wonderful restaurant article this time. It was in May last year. I went to a cafeteria near Hokkaido University for lunch. The restaurant is located on the first floor of a building, not very noticeable. The standout feature is the flashy yellow board. The name of the restaurant is "Miyuki-chan Teishoku." It's not a "cafeteria," but a "set meal" as the name of the store has changed. The name "Miyuki-chan" suggests a cafeteria run by a cute (or used to be cute?) female owner. Or maybe the wife of the restaurant's loving owner is named "Miyuki-chan"? This place seems to pride itself on serving large seafood dishes to students. Now, about the yellow board in front of the store. Yellow is quite flashy. I wonder if Miyuki-chan likes flashy things like Osaka's aunties? The most popular item in the store is the "Two-Sword Style Menu" which includes 10 pieces of assorted sushi and a special seafood bowl set for a surprising special price of 1,390 yen. Sushi and seafood bowl for 1,390 yen, that's definitely cheap! It's no wonder they boast about their large seafood dishes. Oh? It's not a "seafood bowl," but a "seafood bowl set"? Why is it a set meal? Inside the store, the entrance is narrow and extends deep inside. On the left as you enter, there are four counter seats facing the wall, and further back, there are two tables. On the right, there is a cash register, a refrigerator, and five counter seats facing the kitchen. The floor attendant, an old lady, assigns seats to customers. I, a solo customer, was directed to a counter seat on the kitchen side. Inside the store, there is now a purple board with the menu item "Our Most Popular Two-Sword Style" listed. It includes 10 pieces of assorted sushi and a special seafood bowl set. And next to that, there is a special seafood bowl set for 1,000 yen. It seems like this is recommended for "first-time customers" to try. However, 10 pieces of sushi with a seafood bowl... isn't that enough for two people? There's no way I can eat that much! So should I go for the special seafood bowl set instead? But that's also quite large. I actually looked at the photos on Tabelog. It seems like it's too much to handle if I'm not feeling well. Therefore, this time, I'll go for a more modest order. I'm sorry to those readers who were expecting something more. I'll go for the Salmon and Tuna Set Meal, please! "Would you like some sushi with that?" "No, thank you." This time, I decided to hold back a bit. The Salmon and Tuna Half Set Meal is filled with plenty of salmon and tuna sashimi! And there's a small side dish, miso soup, and pickles. Oh? Where's the rice? The large plate is filled with salmon and tuna sashimi. Underneath the sashimi, there was rice. It's quite an impressive dish. I calmly take a sip of the miso soup. I'm not a fan of salmon sashimi, to be honest. I don't like the farmed salmon sashimi because of its fishy smell. But Hokkaido salmon is delicious for some reason. There's almost no fishy smell from farmed salmon. And then the tuna sashimi. I put it on the rice and eat it like sushi. There are three side dishes as well. Simmered dried daikon radish, cold tofu, and macaroni salad. There's too much sashimi, and the balance with the rice is off! It's a luxurious complaint about the sashimi set meal. If I have the chance next time, I would love to try the seafood bowl set meal or the sushi set. And next time, I'll make sure to go on an empty stomach. Thank you for the meal.

MiYuki-chan Teishoku is located a 4-minute walk from Kita 18-Jo Station, just north of the Kita 18 Nishi 5 intersection on Tarukawa Street. The restaurant is situated on the first floor of a narrow 5-story building, with a cream-colored exterior that blends in with the surroundings. Inside, the space is quite small with a few tables and counter seats. The menu offers a variety of set meals, including seafood bowls, sushi sets, and eel dishes. I ordered the sushi and seafood bowl set, which came with a decent selection of sushi and a generous portion of seafood on a bed of rice. The quality of the fish was average, but the variety of toppings made the meal enjoyable. The service was a bit slow, and the staff seemed a bit disorganized. Overall, the meal was satisfying and reasonably priced, making it a good option for a quick lunch.

Seafood rice bowl set meal. 1000 yen. Even with extra rice, it's the same price. When the seafood rice bowl is brought out, you might be disappointed by the portion size. There are other restaurants that serve a similar amount even with a regular size. There are also other places that cut the fish thicker. While the extra portion isn't that big of a deal, I wonder if the "super-sized" option is really worth it. Can someone tell me?
