Asahimachi 2-4-11-27, Asahikawa City, "Hamazushi Asahikawa Asahimachi Store". There is currently a commercial for limited-time items such as "oysters" playing, so I think it's probably an ended promotion. I love sushi, both traditional sushi restaurants and conveyor belt sushi restaurants. I often check the website of conveyor belt sushi restaurants. This time, I was looking at the website of "Hamazushi" and thought, "The limited-time items look pretty good," so I decided to go. Of course, I had to try the "uni" and "ikura", right? "Iwate prefecture uni gunkan" (319 yen) and "Hokkaido ikura wrapped in seaweed" (319 yen). For this price for one piece, you can enjoy a good amount of "uni" and "ikura". Some places do promotions for 200 yen per piece, but I could clearly feel the difference in portion size. "Deep-fried jumbo shrimp (with tartar sauce)" (319 yen) - this is also on the higher side for one piece at a conveyor belt sushi restaurant, but the size justifies it. "Hokkaido red squid and uni mix" (110 yen) - at first glance, it looks like "shio-koji" (salted squid guts), but it actually tastes like "uni". "Miyazaki prefecture blackthroat seaperch" (165 yen) - quite fatty and delicious. "Hamazushi special kimchi tuna roll" (110 yen) - the aroma of sesame oil is nice. "Seared fatty salmon with sudachi citrus and grated daikon" (165 yen) - refreshing with the sudachi citrus and grated daikon. "Spicy shrimp and green onion mix" (165 yen) - shrimp topped with white leeks, garlic chips, and chili oil. It wasn't too spicy. "Salsa chicken salad wrap" (165 yen) - they also offer unique items like this. This one was a bit spicy. It had been a while since I last visited "Hamazushi", but I was quite satisfied with the meal!!

I used to go to Nagayama often, but recently it hasn't been that great, so I decided to try this place instead. When did the sushi conveyor belt change? It's now like Kura Sushi where you stop at the seat you ordered. And regardless of price, the plate colors are uniform and the ordering on the touch panel is linked to the payment. They had a limited time fair with... - Bluefin tuna medium fatty 150 yen (excluding tax) The fish was very small... and the sushi itself is smaller compared to other places! - Assorted three types of tuna 150 yen The way the fish was cut... could've been better. I feel bad for my husband, but I'm not quite satisfied... I just want to drink! - Medium size draft beer 450 yen The glass cleaning was... - Cod milt gunkan sushi 150 yen The freshness was... it was already melting (^-^; The rice was also on the softer side, almost like it was kept in the fridge? It was so cold... Maybe I should've gone easy on the sushi and just had some snacks...

I happened to have some business in this area, so I decided to try out the different Hamazushi than usual. The layout of the restaurant was the same, but the sushi wasn't revolving around on a conveyor belt this time. Instead, it was brought to us on a white belt conveyor-like system. While it can be fun to watch the sushi go around, there were times when the sushi I ordered was mistakenly taken by other customers, but I'll let it slide. I ordered from the "Kyushu Setouchi Fair," and the Kyushu-caught live amberjack was delicious, the Setouchi-caught boiled oyster sushi was good as always, the Setouchi-caught raw baby sardine sushi was great, the miso soup with seaweed and miso was lacking seaweed compared to other places, the squid with coarsely grated wasabi was served with tube wasabi, the three kinds of shrimp were the same as other places, the pickled mackerel with sudachi and grated daikon was served with too much sudachi, making the rice soggy. The wrapping of the battleship rolls varied in size, and the seaweed rolls were inconsistent in size. There were mix-ups in the orders that were brought to us, but since the sushi wasn't rotating, we couldn't return them. All of them were on 100 yen plates, so I thought maybe there was a discount event going on. I was mistaken. If the bill was based on the order data, mistakes should never happen. The negitoro battleship rolls were served directly from the tube, without being properly mixed. At least make sure it's evenly distributed. Overall, I felt a lack of attention to detail. Even if it's a 100 yen item or a 10 yen item, what you provide to customers should never have mistakes or a lack of care. It seems that Hamazushi can vary depending on the location.

It's a bit different...haha. Often...when looking in a dangerous direction, for some reason, people end up falling into the gutter. Doesn't that seem strange? Laugh. With such a high encounter rate, it might be a curse at this point. Laugh. Is that rumor really true after all?? [Edge Legend!] Budget-friendly conveyor belt sushi restaurants are plentiful here and there, and sometimes they are a convenient ally for the common people! Depending on the restaurant, I love them (￣∀￣)♬ Hamazushi...it's just so cheap! I don't expect much, but let's stop leaving the tail end...at least it's better to cut off the last 5 millimeters...if it weren't for that, I could eat it somehow...( ¯꒳¯ ) So far...the tail end, a hundred percent accuracy! In a way...this is amazing! Laugh. With this, I have confirmed all the "Hamazushi" locations in Asahikawa city...I might end up going again out of curiosity? Again? Why does it always hit me? They only have that in stock...is that really true? Laugh.

If there has been anyone who has been following this blog for a long time, you may know that I love seafood. I especially love sea urchin, shrimp, crab, oysters, scallops, whelk, salmon roe... the list goes on. I had been waiting for the right timing to enjoy some casual fried oysters, and I found it at the conveyor belt sushi restaurant "Hamazushi Asahikawa Asahimachi Store". Located at 2-4 Asahimachi, Asahikawa City, you can find the map here: https://goo.gl/maps/sgFrmr1NM9JzUbBf9. Open from 11:00 to 23:00, closed on certain days. Parking available, with a drive-thru option as well. [For current opening hours, closures, takeout options, please contact the store directly]. It's a place I pass by often in my daily life, and I always see the signboard for the fried oyster bowl. I have visited the restaurant a few times before. However, it was my first time trying out the drive-thru service. On this day, after my child's elementary school sports day, it was lunchtime, and there were a lot of customers. The spacious parking lot was full of cars. I placed my order, and was told it would take about 10 minutes. I moved to the drive-thru customer parking space to wait. The staff brought the fried oyster bowl to me almost right on time, priced at 580 yen including tax. You can choose to have it with sauce or without, and I chose with sauce. It came with a lot of pickled ginger. The bowl is slightly smaller than the katsu-don at Seicomart. Tartar sauce is also included. On the cabbage side, there is no dressing, but a separate bag of sweet sauce is provided. For 580 yen, this portion is quite sufficient. The oysters are small in size. They are crisper than the fried oysters you find in the supermarket's deli section, probably because they are freshly fried. Overall, it's good value for the price, and being able to enjoy it easily through the drive-thru makes it a "yes" for me. However, the rice is vinegared rice, which is a bit different. I personally prefer regular white rice. [Tabelog]

Oyster sushi!! Maybe it's a seasonal limited item? I thought it was raw oysters, but it turned out to be steamed oysters. Still, it was delicious. I ended up eating three plates of oyster sushi alone. I ate a lot of other dishes as well, but I was so focused on eating that I forgot to take photos. Thank you for the meal!

Recently, I have been seeing a lot of commercials for Hamazushi, so my child wanted to go there. Even though it hasn't been long since our last visit, we came to Hamazushi again. Unfortunately, just like last time, the touch panel for ordering was not very responsive. I wonder if they could provide touch pens? Anyway, I started with seaweed soup and steamed egg custard. Whenever I go to a conveyor belt sushi restaurant, I always order soup and steamed egg custard. Last time, the steamed egg custard was sold out, but today I was able to have it. It was a bit sweet, but it had plenty of ingredients and was delicious. The seaweed soup was also piping hot and satisfying. The sushi has smaller rice portions, which is great because you can eat a lot. Overall, the freshness is good and it's delicious. Thank you for the meal!

I had some business to attend to in the Ion Mall West and mentioned to my husband that I wanted to eat sushi. He suggested going to Hamazushi since it was conveniently located on our way to the next appointment. It was our first visit there. We ordered using the touch panel and the sushi arrived smoothly and quickly. The sushi pieces were small, allowing us to try a variety of types. The quality of the fish was good. I didn't order it, but the beer was Asahi Super Dry. I'll try it next time. My child wanted to drink tapioca, so we also visited the Hamacafe. They said it was delicious too.

It had been a while since I had a day off with my friend. We decided to go to the supermarket to buy some food. After finishing shopping, it was just before 11 am, and my friend suggested having lunch somewhere. I thought it might be better to buy something and eat at home during this time, plus we can have beer there. But then we thought, we can't drink beer in the car, so maybe we should get takeout sushi instead. There's a sushi place nearby that offers takeout and also has a drive-thru, but we decided to go inside to order so we can take photos. We wanted to have a little bit of a fancy sushi experience, so we ordered the "Luxury 12-piece set (for 2 people)" for 2,106 yen, along with a side menu of "Fried potato set" for 302 yen and "Edamame" for 108 yen. It took about 15 minutes for our order to be ready, so we sat inside and had some tea while waiting. I noticed that sushi restaurants these days are divided into "gourmet" and "budget" categories. This place probably falls into the budget category, but the sushi here is really good! The Luxury 12-piece set included medium fatty tuna, red snapper, abalone, scallop, tuna, salmon, mackerel, sweet shrimp, fatty tuna salmon, squid, sea urchin, and salmon roe. I was impressed that it even had sea urchin and salmon roe! The medium fatty tuna was thickly sliced and everything was delicious. While sitting at the counter of a high-end sushi restaurant may offer a more luxurious experience, the sushi here is definitely satisfying enough for me. As for the side menu items, they were decent for the price. We arrived at 11:05 am and left around 11:20 am, but more and more customers started coming in around 11:15 am. Despite the current atmosphere of self-restraint, this place remains popular!

My family of three went to "Hamazushi Asahikawa Asahimachi Store" for lunch. They were having a special event called "Year-end and New Year's Luxurious Topping Festival" with lots of limited-time toppings. I ordered "Golden Eye Snapper 1 piece for 165 yen", "Large Cutthroat 1 piece for 165 yen", "Bluefin Tuna Medium Fatty 1 piece for 165 yen", "Red Clam 2 pieces for 165 yen" x2, "Popular Three Assorted (Tuna, Engawa, Salmon) for 165 yen", "Live Yellowtail 2 pieces for 110 yen", "Grilled Yellowtail with Yuzu Salt 2 pieces for 110 yen", "Negitoro (Fatty Tuna with Green Onion) 2 pieces for 110 yen", "Grilled Mackerel 2 pieces for 110 yen", "Cured Mackerel 2 pieces for 110 yen", "Miso Soup with Clams for 165 yen", "Miso Soup with Green Seaweed for 110 yen" (*110 yen plates are 99 yen on weekdays). The "Red Clam" was especially delicious. You can make reservations on your smartphone, order using a touch panel, and the cost performance is great, making it easy to stop by.

It was a weeknight, but I arrived early, before 6 o'clock. There was no line, and Pepper-kun led me to my seat smoothly. Since the renovation, I hadn't been here before, but now everything is ordered through a touch panel, and the sushi doesn't go around on a conveyor belt. It's similar to Kura Sushi. The prices are clear, and you can enjoy freshly made sushi. Considering the price, the taste is good. I was surprised to find fresh mackerel available. There are various types from different regions, so they seem to focus on that. The tuna was served in a semi-thawed state, giving it a crunchy texture. This is also the case for marinated tuna. I ordered it again to confirm, and it was the same, so it seems to be a feature of this sushi restaurant. I understand that they provide wasabi separately to reduce labor costs, but it would be nice if they could offer stronger wasabi. I ended up opening many packets. The sushi is reasonably priced, and it's great that you can fill up on a budget. There are many similar restaurants, so I hope they continue to do their best. Thank you for the wallet-friendly sushi!

10/10/19 For dinner when my wife wasn't home, I went with my daughter to a familiar restaurant after over 2 years. This time, the restaurant had changed to a lane where only ordered items were served. Before my business trip, I used to come here often. The balance of affordability and taste was just right. Hmm, I wonder what happened. No matter what I ate, there was no sense of affordability. It should have tasted better. Especially the ramen and takoyaki were sadly disappointing. Regardless of the taste of the ramen... at least put some octopus in the takoyaki. Kids would be sad otherwise. I understand it's a cheap menu item for 200 yen, but still. "Dad, let's go home already," my daughter urged, and we left after only 24 minutes. The night was filled with the hollow sound of Pepper-kun's voice.

Let's have some sushi after shopping! It's easy to eat and perfect for a quick meal. We had various sushi like ikura, amaebi, shiso pickled, squid, shrimp, and more. The miso soup with seaweed was delicious, and the tempura shrimp was crispy. We also enjoyed the salmon and negitoro rolls, natto roll, sweet potato, California roll, and squid tempura. Everything was tasty and satisfying. It's affordable and convenient, so we'll definitely come back again!

In the midst of Golden Week. It's a gathering with high school friends. We were supposed to have a barbecue in front of our friend's house, but unfortunately it started raining, so we had to change our plans. It turned into an indoor okonomiyaki and takoyaki party. Oh my! I need to bring a small gift with me. Let's go with something like this that can be enjoyed in small bites. I asked everyone in the group chat what they wanted to eat, placed a phone order, and went to pick it up. There's always someone with bad timing, right? When it was time to pay, a message came in the group chat saying "egg" or something like that. Quickly added an order. I thought they would bring it from the kitchen to the cashier, but they directed me to the counter seats. I ordered the egg at the counter with a touch panel like usual. With the voice of Chibi Maruko-chan, "Your order will be delivered shortly. Please be careful not to forget it." I won't forget it! I'm waiting for it! Haha. A gathering of six friends. It turned into a carb festival. We ate okonomiyaki, takoyaki, and even picked at sushi. Thank you for the meal. It's convenient to use a small gift like this. (^^) ===========

After shopping, let's eat on the way home. A conveyor belt sushi restaurant where you can eat at a reasonable price. Choose your favorite items and enjoy eating. Yum yum~♪ A sweet potato dessert that I tried was unexpectedly delicious. I want more~ Peeling♪ Thank you for the meal.

Affordable conveyor belt sushi restaurant. On weekdays, the price drops from 100 yen to 90 yen, which is even more of a deal. For someone like me with a slightly bigger stomach, this place allows me to eat a lot of my favorite sushi. Medium fatty tuna - 1 piece for 150 yen, natural red shrimp - 1 piece for 150 yen, salmon roe - 1 piece for 150 yen, shrimp and red shrimp - 1 piece for 150 yen, scallop - 2 pieces for 150 yen, shrimp tempura - 2 pieces for 90 yen, sweet shrimp - 2 pieces for 90 yen, onion salmon - 2 pieces for 90 yen, squid and shiso leaf pickle - 2 pieces for 90 yen, mackerel roll - 90 yen, negitoro roll - 90 yen, negi natto roll - 90 yen, miso soup with seaweed - free with coupon, matsutake mushroom steamed rice with ankake sauce - 260 yen. The natural red shrimp was deliciously firm, so I had seconds. Oh? The first one didn't have that firm texture. Onion salmon, I like to eat it like carpaccio with ponzu sauce. What? The tuna rolls are sold out! There's still tuna flowing, why? Is it because of the way they cut the tuna they have left? The miso soup with seaweed was free with a coupon and it tasted great. The matsutake mushroom steamed rice with ankake sauce had a nice flavor. Delicious! Yum yum! Burp! Thank you for the meal.

I missed the timing for lunch and it ended up being a weird time, but I was hungry so I decided to grab a quick bite. I found this place nearby, "Hamazushi Asahikawa Asahimachi Store." It's located at 2-4-4 Asahimachi, Asahikawa City, open from 11:00 to 23:00, closed on no specific days. It's non-smoking and has parking available. They also offer takeout. It was around 2:30 pm and there weren't many people. I only had plates that cost 100 yen each, but what I really love about Hamazushi is their kanpyo maki, which is my favorite. I wonder why other conveyor belt sushi restaurants don't have it? I've loved kanpyo maki since I was a child when my mother used to make it. I also couldn't resist the sweet potato sushi. Overall, I felt that Hamazushi has become tastier than before.

Hamazushi is a chain restaurant, so you can expect consistent quality and a sense of security wherever you go. This was my first time at this particular store, and I felt like the fish slices were slightly thicker than usual. The limited-time seared Kinmedai was delicious.

The touch panel at the reception can be operated without touching, which is excellent. I often come here alone. Today's lunch was great. It's been raining all day so I've been staying inside.
