My son came back home for a visit. He is a high school student who lives in a dormitory due to his involvement in sports. My condition was that he attends a school that focuses on academics. However, it's inevitable that sports take center stage, but he managed to pass the Eiken Grade 2 exam on his own. I was surprised that he was able to achieve that on his own. I hope he continues to aim higher, but for now, let's celebrate. I also had something good happen at work, so that's another reason I chose this restaurant. I don't want to eat too much, so I ordered just a tonkatsu. It looked very delicious in the photo. My wife had a tempura and rice bowl. My son had a seasonal sushi set meal (the photo only shows the sushi) and a tempura rice bowl. We also ordered some dishes to share like rolled omelette and fried potatoes. And of course, some draft beer. The beer was cold and delicious. First, the rolled omelette and fried potatoes arrived. The rolled omelette was fluffy and tasty, just the way I like it. The fried potatoes were crispy and not greasy. They went well with the beer. Then, more dishes kept coming. My son's sushi set had 12 pieces. It looked delicious. My son was in a great mood enjoying it. I had the tonkatsu. It looked great. The breadcrumbs were not too coarse, and the meat was thick. When I tried it, it wasn't too soft, had a good meaty texture, and the sweet flavor of the pork spread in my mouth. I could easily eat two extra servings of rice with it. My wife had the tempura and rice bowl and she said it was incredibly delicious. The shrimp was fresh and had a nice firm texture. This restaurant is truly a delight for our family. It's a place we can use for various occasions like with friends or for important business meetings. It's not easy to find a restaurant like this. The only downside was that the bottled beer was served in a cup and the beer was a bit lukewarm, but everything else was top-notch. The service was excellent, the restaurant was clean and had a high-end Japanese hotel vibe. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

Family and father had a feast at the restaurant. We ordered 10 pieces of special zangi for 1,100 yen, warm egg Caesar salad for 770 yen, tempura soba for 1,320 yen, toriten soba for 1,050 yen, and summer set meal for 1,860 yen (on sale). We ordered three of the summer set meals and they were packed with food. The set meal included bonito sashimi, sliced onions, sunny lettuce, and a decent amount of fried garlic sprinkled on top. It was delicious. We also ordered the Hokuto pork katsudon for 1,050 yen with extra large portion for 100 yen. It was tasty, but we noticed that the pork cutlet had more fat compared to last year, which was disappointing. We also had a mori soba for 770 yen and two tekka maki rolls. Koizushi is a "sushi restaurant" after all (laughs). Including other drinks and desserts, the total came to 16,750 yen. Thank you for the meal.

I rate it 5.0. The set includes Ettanbetsu soba and nigiri sushi. The soba was delicious with a lot of ice hidden inside, making it very refreshing. The nigiri sushi was also tasty with good fat content. We also had a tempura assortment and zangi, which were hot, crispy, and delicious.

On Thursday, June 22, 2023, after two years of curiosity, I finally ordered the ginger pork set meal that I had been eyeing for so long. The pork here is especially good - tender, flavorful, not too fatty (the fat is delicious too). The thickly sliced onions and sautéed snow peas complement it perfectly. Baby corn with mayonnaise, mini tomatoes with miso dressing - delicious. The shredded cabbage soaked in ginger pork sauce is a delight. The pickled Chinese cabbage is well seasoned, and the mountain wasabi adds an extra level of deliciousness. The miso soup, as always, is exquisite - with mushrooms, tofu, seaweed, and green onions. My in-laws tried this place for the first time and my wife, just like last time, ordered the "Summer Meal" for all three of us. The steamed egg custard that came around was slightly sweet but still delicious. We also had a slice of raw yellowtail with soy sauce for dipping, which was also excellent. We ate too much, but it was a happy indulgence. Thank you for the feast.

On 6/6 Tuesday lunch, the appetizers were amazing: dashi roll, fried chicken skin in broth, zucchini cooked in mayonnaise, and deep-fried tofu with fried dashi sauce. The scallop nanbanzuke was a standout, truly delicious. The sashimi of blackthroat seaperch with natto soy sauce was a first for me, and it was a perfect match. A unique salad of pork shabu-shabu with young corn and snap peas was delightful. The grilled dish was seafood-stuffed eggplant, topped with squid, shrimp, red and yellow bell peppers, and broccoli, along with vinegar lotus root and sweet potato. The pickled cucumber was another standout, elegant and delicious. The steamed dish of chawanmushi with matsutake mushrooms, udon noodles, tofu, and mitsuba was exquisite, with a wonderful broth and a subtle sweetness. The sushi platter of hand-pressed sushi (tuna, flounder, salmon) had generous toppings and was very satisfying. For dessert, there was nightingale rice cake, kudzu-wrapped green tea paste, peach yokan, and a complimentary ice cream for LINE registration. This was an incredibly luxurious lunch, with truly delicious dishes. I was completely satisfied. Thank you for the feast.

Recently, I have been using the lunch service more and more at Koi Sushi. The reason is... the service is good, the food is delicious, and they have attractive limited-time offers. They also have private rooms available, so you can enjoy your meal in a relaxing environment. The highlight for me is the "Hot Stone Seafood Ankake Yakisoba." When it arrived, it was steaming hot and looked amazing. The noodles had a slight charred flavor from the stone, which added to the taste. The seafood was fresh and the sauce was perfectly seasoned. I added some vinegar halfway through, and it was delicious until the very end. The hot stone cooking method is the best. I wish they would serve everything on a hot stone! Thank you for the meal.

The "Luxurious 11-variety Seafood Bowl" that my wife ordered arrived first, priced at 1,485 yen, and it was seriously luxurious. I got distracted by that and forgot to take a picture of my own "Okhotsk Hokuto Pork Thick Cut Pork Cutlet Set Meal" priced at 1,320 yen. The pork cutlet is usually very satisfying, but this time it had too much fat (felt like 35% fat), which was disappointing. The miso soup that came with the seafood bowl and the "osumashi" were both delicious with a good broth. Thank you for the meal.

I visited a well-known restaurant in Asahikawa to celebrate a special occasion. The restaurant had a nice atmosphere and I had high hopes for the meal. I ordered the sushi set from the waiter, but was surprised when they forgot to bring tea or water. Also, most of the items listed on the menu were no longer available, which was disappointing as I had looked forward to trying them. As I looked out the window, I noticed a busy group of customers, which may have explained the slow service. When the food finally arrived, it looked delicious and well-presented. However, I was surprised when I had to specifically ask for tea, as it wasn't automatically provided. After finishing my meal, I left the restaurant feeling a bit puzzled. Upon checking their website later, I found a notice stating that reservations take priority and they may not be able to accommodate walk-in customers. Overall, I'm not sure if I would visit this restaurant again.

I used to like the buffet here before, but now it's a bit different, but the customer service and atmosphere are still good ✩.*˚ The menu is so extensive that I always have trouble deciding what to order (* ॑꒳ ॑* ). Even after I've ordered, I still find myself unsure... haha. The broth is delicate and everything is delicious overall. The koi fish in the pond also looked lively (*^^*) Thank you for the meal~(*´∀`)♪

Delicious all around! No complaints. The tempura is of artisan quality. The dipping sauce is delicious, just delicious. The soba dipping sauce, miso soup, and donburi sauce are also delicious. I intended to get soba water, but ended up finishing the miso soup with Nameko mushrooms and tofu because it was too delicious (I usually leave about 30% of the soup). Despite being on a low-salt diet, I had to give up on the soba water this time, but I am completely satisfied. Thank you for the meal.

The soba soup was excellent and delicious, so I tried my partner's miso soup, which was also delicious. The broth was carefully made and tasty. When I asked if the chefs had changed with the new management, I was told that they remained the same, which was surprising. The soba was top-notch, the sushi was authentic, and the tempura was truly delicious. The tonkatsu was thick, tender, and had a great texture, with a delicious sauce. Towards the end, I ordered some soup, which was also tasty! Seriously, each broth was amazing, making me feel happy. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

It's the sports day on June 6, 2022♪ It's little Taro's first sports day!! He practiced hard for this day. To catch a glimpse of Taro's impressive performance, his grandmother from Sapporo (paternal grandmother) and his grandfather and grandmother from Obihiro (maternal side) rushed to attend. But the road to the kindergarten was closed, so we had to take a crazy detour to get there (~_~;) We had to take a huge detour to get to the sports day, haha! So, we went to "Asahikawa Castle Koi Sushi" after the sports day. We held a little celebration for Taro after his hard work♪ There are koi fish swimming inside the restaurant. It's like being in a movie scene just before Koyuki appears, haha! Each of us ordered our favorite dishes. I had the cold soba set for 2200 yen (tax included). The sushi was really good. The tempura was also good. The soba noodles were a bit too sweet in the dipping sauce, but the noodles themselves were not bad. This is the perfect place for this kind of gathering♪

I fell in love at first sight with the town magazine liner in Asahikawa "Luxurious 11 kinds of seafood bowl"! Limited to 20 servings per day, available only during lunchtime. 1,350 yen excluding tax, the best cost performance, guaranteed to look great on social media! Before eating, it's amazing - I've never had such a seafood bowl before! Even men will be satisfied, and the rice can be upgraded for free. I was torn between this and the "Thickly sliced sashimi set"! It seems like these two are the top choices. I have a new goal for my next visit! I will definitely be back! The menu has changed and it has become more affordable and easier to visit than before (^o^)

Sushi restaurant in Chuwari, Asahikawa City, or rather, it feels more like a Japanese restaurant because they have various items on the menu. The exterior looks like a castle, a pretty eye-catching building. Inside, there are real carp swimming around, giving it a unique and distinctive atmosphere. It's a popular spot for large gatherings and events, although I personally visited for the first time. They offer a limited sushi lunch set, but other lunch menu items are on the pricier side, so it's best to visit early. I ordered the "Seafood Chirashi Bowl with Miso Soup" for 1,000 yen, which came with a coffee. It arrived in about 7-8 minutes and included squid, shrimp, yellowtail, salmon, salmon roe, flying fish roe, tamagoyaki, lotus root, and cucumber. The squid and shrimp were seared with a slightly sweet sauce. The miso soup had a delicate flavor. The sushi rice was lightly seasoned, making it easy to eat. Overall, for 1,000 yen including a drink, it was a satisfying meal. However, if the 1,200 yen lunch set with assorted sushi was sold out, the other lunch options ranged from the 1,000 yen range to the 2,000 yen range. It would be nice to have more affordable lunch options available.

Asahikawa has a castle. There are two that I know of. Many people think there are no castles in Hokkaido, but if you look around Asahikawa, there are quite a few. Simply put, it's a castle. The closest castle is Koizushi, which stands out. This building is a castle. But the lord is not a samurai... it doesn't seem that way. And it's unclear if you can go up to the main tower... Inside, there are swimming carp. When you enter, there is a bridge. Underneath, there are swimming carp. It's Koizushi after all, so there have to be swimming carp. By the way, Koizushi... was not on the menu. Cold noodle fair. On this day, it was a lunch meeting. I was told I could eat whatever I wanted... but the lunch prices were quite high. However, since I had the chance, I decided to order what I wanted. Summer recommendations. The summer recommendations look good. The Hokuto pork cutlet looks delicious. Should I have the cutlet... well, I can get that elsewhere. Since I have the chance, tempura, zangi, and rice... Hmm, maybe that's not the right order for today. I'm torn... Sushi lunch. Should I order this, or is the sushi lunch the right choice?? The lunch sushi is 1200 yen, while the assorted seafood bowl is 1000 yen. Hmm, but it's limited to ten servings, so I'm not sure if they still have it. Should I go for the set meal. Soba sushi tempura set... or should I go all out and get the sushi set... But the tonkatsu looks really good... Let's listen to what others are ordering and think about it. One of the companions ordered an eel bowl. The other ordered the sushi set... So, I decided to go for the eel and conger eel combo. The eel and conger eel are evenly split. First, the conger eel... a bit firm. There were some small bones. But that's how conger eel is. But boiled conger eel is softer and tastier. And the eel... slightly firm. A bit tough. It lacked a juicy feel... I got confused halfway through about which was which. It's a shame that the eel wasn't as good as it could have been... (ノД`)シクシク... Cold buckwheat noodles set. It wasn't part of the set, but they said I could add the small size, so I ordered the cold buckwheat noodles as well. They served it with chopped myoga as a condiment. The noodles and wheat had ice in them, so they were cold. The dipping sauce was strong in soy sauce. The soy sauce was a bit strong. But as you eat, it dilutes with the water, so maybe it's just right. My thoughts on the cold buckwheat noodles... it's cold buckwheat noodles. It's slightly thicker than somen, so it had a good texture. In the summer, these refreshing dishes are the best. After the meal, they also served coffee. It's hard to fully savor the meal in a good restaurant during a lunch meeting. But it was nice to be able to go to Koizushi after a long time. Thank you for the meal. ⇒ ◆It might not be the type that is steamed and then grilled◆

I made a reservation online and had lunch. They asked if I was okay with sitting in a room with real koi fish, which was amusing. I chose the set meal with a choice of donburi and soba (seafood bara chirashi and cold soba). I ordered coffee as a complimentary drink before the meal, which arrived fairly quickly. The meal itself didn't take long to arrive. The bara chirashi had about 250g of rice and not too many ingredients, but it looked fancy. The soba was smooth and had a nice aroma. The miso soup was good, and the chawanmushi had plenty of ingredients like chicken, shiitake mushrooms, chestnuts, and ginkgo nuts. Although the lunch was a bit pricey, the service and taste were reliable and didn't disappoint. Thank you for the meal. *Various cashless payments accepted*

I heard from a news report that the management of the long-established hotel, Asahikawa Toyo Hotel, has been supported since March this year. With half of my expectations, I visited for the first time. The exterior is very impressive, a real castle! I was surprised! I visited for my father's memorial service as well. There are many private rooms inside, which may be nice for families. As expected from a sushi restaurant in a castle, there were many carp swimming inside. I ordered the recommended sushi soba set by the staff, and drinks like coffee were self-service and free. The soba seemed to be hand-made in the store, the fragrance was good, and it was very delicious. Although it is away from the city center, there are plenty of parking spaces, so we were able to enjoy a calm and leisurely meal, and my companion was very satisfied. I will visit again for further discussions regarding the memorial service.

The appearance and interior of the Koi Sushi at the castle have a traditional atmosphere. It gives off the impression of being suitable for ceremonies and events. This time, I opted for lunch instead of a bento. The taste was good, nothing extraordinary but well-prepared. However, the cost performance is on the higher side. It's not something you can easily afford for 1000 yen. For a lunch option, it's decent. The ambiance of the restaurant is good, so it might be worth it for family gatherings.

It's a lunch at a certain general meeting. Same situation as last year lol Reception -> General meeting -> Banquet I have no idea about difficult topics. It's all over. Cheers! Let's drink beer now! Let's eat the banquet lunch! Sashimi (salmon, sweet shrimp, tuna) Tempura (shrimp, squid, green pepper, eggplant) Simmered dishes (butterbur, taro, processed fish, meatballs) Chawanmushi, inari sushi, rolled sushi Shrimp, omelette, grilled fish, seasoned dish, squid soup Beer, gulp gulp~! Food, munch munch~! I received chawanmushi from the next table and ate double (*^^*) Overall, it's delicious. Delicious lunch! Thank you for the meal~!

The lunch was gorgeous (laughs). I will go from 12 o'clock. Chan-chan yaki and persimmon with white miso dressing.

Family and friends gathered here and I had the Hokuto Pork Tonkatsu set meal. It was delicious with various side dishes included. Everyone ordered different dishes and we shared, which made everyone happy. I don't really like the term "cost performance," but the atmosphere was nice and I would like to come back again. I want to support good restaurants. There used to be a place that closed down (oh, was it still open in Nayoro?), where I worked part-time and my seniors reused things and sold expired products. I heard there was a similar place in Asahikawa, and even though there may be some impact from the coronavirus now, I hope they don't resort to such practices and do their best. Natural selection may occur, but I hope they don't get involved in such things.
