Today, I went to the main street for the Autumn Fest, but it was crowded and I had a hearty breakfast that I don't usually eat, so I felt hungry. I also had other shopping to do and since Esta was closed, I decided to have lunch at Tokyu Department Store. I have used this restaurant about 3 times in the past and recognized it as a cost-effective restaurant. Today, there was a sign in front of the entrance advertising the Isshin Set Meal for 880 yen instead of 1,280 yen, which seemed like a great deal. In today's world where convenience store lunches often exceed 600 yen, this limited-time offer with this content and price seems unbelievably cheap. The only downside is that even before my companion finished their meal, the dishes were cleared away immediately, which makes me hesitate to want to use this restaurant more.

I am repeating myself. The lunch set with soba, tempura, chawanmushi, and 7 pieces of sushi is a good deal. They only offer set menus, but you can also order individual pieces from 5 different varieties. One piece of uni sushi costs 680 yen. It feels expensive compared to 380 yen a year ago. Previously, tempura was only served with salt, but now it comes with dipping sauce. The toppings and sushi rice are delicious, of course.

At lunchtime, there is a generous variety of dishes, but after 3pm, unfortunately, everything quickly runs out. I had 8 pieces of nigiri sushi and green tea. I had various desserts before the meal today, so I was just right with a stomach that was 80% full. The amount of rice in the sushi was just right. I wish I could have enjoyed dishes like chawanmushi, miso soup, and tempura more reasonably during lunch. I would like to visit again for lunch next time.

Visited on June 3, 2023, on a holiday for lunch. Came to this restaurant, Fish Isshin, located in Tokyu Department Store. Quite a few elegant ladies were having lunch, seems like they were here for shopping. Having lunch at a department store. So fancy... Actually, I came in wanting to relax at the counter while drinking sake, but... What? Only set lunches available during lunchtime! Oh no... I was honestly confused as I came here more to drink alcohol than to eat. Anyway, I ordered a set meal with tempura and an eel rice bowl. The tempura set comes with grilled fish or sashimi and tempura for 1680 yen. Is it expensive or cheap? I don't know (laughs). The eel rice bowl with the premium option cost 3000 yen. Is it expensive or cheap? I don't know (laughs). Well, it was clearly different from eel specialty restaurants. Obviously (laughs). Well, I wasn't aiming for a set meal, so I just ordered a beer, quickly ate, and left. Thank you for the meal.

Reward lunch. I had sushi at a restaurant on the top floor of a department store. The sushi was delicious with high-quality ingredients from a fish market-owned sushi restaurant. It was a busy day with families and wives gathering for the weekend. The anago was plump and the toro had large pieces of fish, which was particularly impressive.

One day, I met someone I hadn't seen in a long time and they recommended this place. It's the food court in a department store. I've been to Tokyu Department Store before, like the Ruth's Chris Steak House. When I walked into the restaurant, I was surprised to see that there was a second floor (like a loft). Since it was lunchtime, the only option was a set menu. I ordered the soba, sushi, and tempura set. It was delicious. Considering the price, it was better in presentation and taste than the similar set menus I've had in Sapporo, and it was even cheaper. This place is a hidden gem. As we chatted, I felt like having more food, so I asked if they could serve a sashimi set after 3 p.m., and they said yes. I had quite a bit of alcohol, so the total price was reasonable. I believe you could have a normal lunch and a beer for under 2,000 yen. It's a great restaurant!

Wandering new curry mania/fresh ramen mania, a solo middle-aged man. This is a memo-like review from the old man. If you want concise information about the restaurant and food, please move on to other people's reviews around here. This is a retrial of the lunch I missed on the 2nd (Monday). It's New Year's, so if you can feel a bit of a "celebratory mood," that would be nice. The location is on the 10th floor of the JR Sapporo Station "Tokyu Department Store Sapporo Store" restaurant area. I saw previous reviews that mentioned lowering the rating due to "customer service," but the lunch menu looks promising. I thought, let's give it a try. As a former resident of Toyohira-ku, I heard rumors in the past that it was quite highly rated (not here). One person who used to live in Makomanai (Minami-ku) said, "It's so good that I go all the way to Mae (Kiyota-ku) to buy it." (Apparently, they were going back and forth on the back streets towards Takino). The 'Uo Isshin' group closed due to building redevelopment, but they were also reasonably well-regarded at the shop in Rafira underground. Of course, it's not a high-end sushi restaurant, so forgive me. I have high expectations from that point. I entered around 1:20 pm (Monday holiday). This place really feels like it's inside a "department store restaurant area" because of the scale of the interior. There is even a unique "internal staircase" in the store, with seating on the second floor as well. In the "store front part," there was a spacious counter seat with plenty of room even with three sushi chefs. And as you go to the left back, there is a table seat zone. There were about 8 tables. Well, it's not perfect infection control, but it's better than a partition, and it also helps to maintain privacy. There were two people at the counter seats and four groups at the table seats. They were either eating or chatting after finishing their meal. There were no customers behind? Since the store is large, it's unclear where and who they are guiding. I had done some research, so I ordered when I was shown to my seat. Lunch menu 'Takumi' - 14 pieces of sushi - Small dish - Chawanmushi - Miso soup, total 7,161 yen including tax. (Menu display: 3,580 yen + 3,580 yen) Although the menu displays the "tax-inclusive price" with a note, the external tax is added by adding up the base price at the time of payment. I wouldn't say the calculation is wrong, but... The discrepancy (1 yen) between the menu display price and the actual price is a bit strange. The food was served in less than 15 minutes after ordering. Oh, it looks delicious! The shiny and perfectly sized sushi looks great. The appearance meets expectations. - Tuna lean - Sea bream - Salmon - Yellowtail - Squid - Botan shrimp - Scallop - Tuna medium fatty - Abalone - Snow crab - Live scallop - Sea urchin - Salmon roe - Eel I won't explain each piece, but every piece was simply delicious. It's a good cost performance that satisfies the ordinary middle-aged man. The quality of the sushi, considering the "price" and "quality of the ingredients," is something I would be willing to pay a bit more for at a local sushi restaurant. Well, it may not compare to the sushi and skills of the "tens of thousands of yen class" restaurants that everyone reviews. (Self-deprecating/commenting with restraint) But if it's "this price" and "this quality of ingredients," I thought, "I'd like to try it again on some occasion." By chance, there is a lunch at a "local sushi restaurant" near my workplace for 1,100 yen including tax. Even in previous reviews, it was mentioned that "at this price, it's quite satisfactory." At the end of the year, I tried about four times by changing the time and day of the week, but I missed it every time as they were "finished with lunch when the sushi rice ran out." If I had tried the tax-inclusive 1,020 yen lunch at a sushi chain restaurant first... Well... If you think of it as a "lunch" to experience the atmosphere of a "sushi restaurant," it's quite satisfactory, but in terms of the taste of the sushi/restaurant, it's...

This is a sushi restaurant located on the 10th floor of Sapporo Tokyu Department Store. On this day, it was the first day of the sale and I wanted to do some shopping at the station. I found winter items at a certain store in Stellar Place at bargain prices. "What should we have for lunch??" Many places are still closed for the New Year, so a restaurant in a department store or a fashion building is a safe bet. But I expect Daimaru and Stellar Place to be extremely crowded, so I decided to go to Tokyu. It was before 11 am, but there were already people waiting at the restaurants in Tokyu. "I feel like having sushi," so I sat on the waiting chair here. The restaurant opened and I went in. On this day, there were only three types of "New Year's Menu" available due to the New Year. "The market is closed, so it must be tough for sushi restaurants too," I thought to myself. I ordered the "Seafood Bowl Set" (1,880 yen). It arrived in about 7-8 minutes. The Seafood Bowl Set included a seafood bowl, 3 pieces of tempura, and a soup. Since it was the New Year, it also came with "Zodiac Candy." The toppings on the seafood bowl were tuna, salmon roe, amberjack (another white fish), squid, sweet shrimp, and crab stick, as well as a Datemaki and Ume flower-shaped item (which was sweet). The toppings were decent, but nothing particularly outstanding. The rice was fairly vinegary. The tempura consisted of shrimp, eggplant, and green pepper, which were also decent but slightly small. The soup contained seaweed, green onions, and kamaboko, which was fitting for the New Year. The soup was delicious. Trying a limited menu for the New Year isn't enough to fully understand the restaurant. The chef and the staff were friendly and I will come back to try their regular menu next time!

Sapporo, I and my wife were on a work trip. Dinner. After finishing work to a certain extent, we decided to have a slightly luxurious dinner. There are many good restaurants on the top floor of Tokyu. I was a bit drinking beer, so I chose sake from the beginning. I ordered the Special Chirashi and my wife ordered the Seafood Chirashi. The difference between the two chirashi was the presentation and the addition of botan shrimp, sea urchin, and flying fish roe for an additional 800 yen. The sea urchin was delicious without any fishy taste, and the botan shrimp was fresh and sweet. Overall, the sashimi was fresh and delicious. I wish they had included miso soup with the meal. In general, it was a delicious sashimi. Thank you for the meal!

A small group after work. Oh, this is nice. Drinking and enjoying fish in a place like this. It's good to talk passionately or have fun with a large group, but I think this suits me better. Maybe I'm a bit of a modern social recluse. I don't mind drinking alone at all! Because I'm on a diet, a vegetable salad is a must! And the mackerel, yellowtail, and fried fish were delicious. I might have had a little sushi, like a tekka maki, too. Tekka maki is a good snack and I like it. When it comes to dieting, shochu is the way to go, right? It's easy to stop by after work, so I'll probably come back here again! Thank you for the meal! (^o^)

I had a premium eel dish! The volume of eel was overwhelming, with enough to last me full until night. The lack of sansho pepper was a downside. The eel had a thick texture but lacked tenderness and fragrance. It's not like a specialty store, but it's within an acceptable range.

I used to frequent the Rafira store quite a bit before it closed, but I hadn't had the chance to go since then. This time, I visited another store in the city for the first time. The menu was almost the same, so I ordered a few items that I liked from before. Among them, the special sanma yaki (grilled Pacific saury) and the seared dried kohada (gizzard shad) are my favorite dishes. The kohada, when freshly made and piping hot, has tender flesh and a sweet taste that I love so much I can eat five of them. The mentaiko (spicy cod roe) tempura had a slightly salty flavor, making it a dish that made me crave white rice.

The other day, I went to Uoichin at Sapporo Tokyu because I found Hanataro to be expensive and not filling enough. I ordered the 14-piece sushi lunch set. The lunch set included high-quality abalone and sea urchin, which was quite impressive! Each piece of sushi had its own unique flavor and was very delicious. The chawanmushi (savory egg custard) was also excellent! I left feeling full and satisfied! Thank you for the meal.

I visited for lunch on a regular day. I was able to sit back and enjoy my lunch leisurely. I chose the Fish Isshin Lunch. It came with soba noodles, tempura (shrimp, squid, eggplant, green pepper, pumpkin), mini chawanmushi, and sushi (tuna, sea bream, salmon, scallop, shrimp, squid, salmon roe). It was great to be able to try a variety of dishes!

There is a sushi restaurant in the Tokyu restaurant street. Despite being inside a department store, it has a cozy, house-like atmosphere. It feels upscale and is one of my favorite places. I visited for lunch after a long time. The prices seem to have gone up a bit... ranging from 1200 yen. The sushi is very fresh and delicious, and the chawanmushi (savory egg custard) has a great flavor. The soba noodles and tempura are also very tasty. While the evening may be upscale, it is a reasonably priced option for lunch.

I finally finished my first business trip to Wakkanai. I will be working in Sapporo for a while now. To celebrate my return to Sapporo, I decided to have a slightly luxurious lunch at Uoichishin in Tokyu Department Store. I ordered the Nigiri Sushi Set "Takumi" and a Tempura Assortment of five pieces. The Takumi set looked great and the sushi was delicious, especially the one-piece Anago sushi with its soft and gentle flavor. The Tempura was crispy and hot, and the Ebi Tempura (shrimp) was particularly delicious. It was a nice treat to celebrate my return to Sapporo. I feel at ease being back in my hometown. I would like to revisit some restaurants I haven't been to in a while while I'm in Sapporo. Thank you for the meal.

I went for lunch and ordered the "Satsuki" set, which includes sushi, a small dish, miso soup, and chawanmushi. The sushi was fresh and easy to eat with a good balance of fish and rice. The chawanmushi had seafood like shrimp, typical of a sushi restaurant. Thank you for the meal.

There is a Japanese restaurant on the 10th floor of Tokyu Department Store, which also turns into an izakaya at night. The restaurant has a surprising interior design that doesn't feel like it's inside a department store. The entrance is shown in the photo, with a counter on the right side. The restaurant is spacious with private rooms available. Due to the impact of COVID-19, they have shortened their operating hours until 8 pm. The restaurant area on the 10th floor is quite empty, reflecting the effects of the pandemic. I was seated in a private room and ordered sushi and asparagus. The taste was stable and normal, nothing extraordinary. Despite the unique design of the restaurant, the food was standard. It's a restaurant in a department store, after all. Overall, it was as expected.

This is the Tokyu Department Store restaurant street. This time, I was looking for something Japanese. There are many lunch menus, but I decided on the Isshin set for 980 yen, which is just under 1000 yen. The food was served quickly, in about 5 minutes! First, I enjoyed the freshly fried tempura with three types of salt on the table. The squid and shrimp were fried just right and delicious. The meal, including soba and sushi, was quite filling. I was satisfied with my lunch. The restaurant is spacious, but the turnover is good and there are always customers. The staff's service was just right, with a good balance. Thank you for the delicious meal!

A friend made a reservation for us, and three of us went to have lunch together. We went up the stairs inside the restaurant, took off our shoes, and entered a private room. The small space felt cozy and comfortable. We had a set meal that included sushi, steamed egg custard, tempura, grilled fish, dessert, and coffee. The sushi was delicious, and the grilled fish, possibly marinated in sake lees, was also very tasty. The coffee and dessert took a bit long to arrive, probably because the restaurant was busy. Since we were in a private room, we could chat leisurely without worrying about the people around us.
