It's rare to have lunch around Sapporo Station, and I felt like having some fresh seafood, so I decided to visit "Daisho Suisan Sapporo Yomiuri Hokkaido Building Store" after a long time. The store was bustling as usual, and the staff were full of energy. I arrived around 12:30 and the place was about 70% full. I was seated at a table for two.
I quickly looked at the menu, which included items like seafood bowls, seafood set meals, sushi, chicken karaage, simmered fish, grilled fish, and fried fish. I was eyeing the "Seafood Sashimi Set Meal @1,500 yen" limited to 5 servings per day, but it was already sold out. So, I ordered the "Savvy Sashimi Set Meal @1,000 yen" instead. It was served in 9 minutes and included sashimi, rice, miso soup, and pickles.
The sashimi included red meat, pickled herring, octopus, negitoro, scallops, and sea bream. The warm rice was delicious, and I wished I had ordered a larger portion. The sashimi was good, especially the pickled herring with a rounded acidity and the slightly rare octopus. The red meat was large and tasty, but it seemed a bit watery, possibly due to thawing. The miso soup had enoki mushrooms and nameko mushrooms, with a slightly rich flavor that was deliciously thick.
Overall, the portion size was more than worth the price. Personally, I prefer seafood, but surprisingly, many people seemed to prefer grilled fish or chicken karaage. As a side note, they offer a lunchtime all-you-can-drink option for 1,078 yen (with coupon, 120 minutes, separate cover charge, order two items per person, weekdays only, from 11:30 to 14:00).
For my next lunch, I'll try the grilled fish. Thank you for the meal.
