Sushi in Otaru
Otaru is famous for sushi, so I visited Ise Sushi, which I researched on the Internet.
I called to make a reservation without worrying too much because it was a Saturday night, but I was told that they could only take seats from 5:00 p.m. So I changed my plans and had an early dinner.
It is not far from the station, just a 5-6 minute walk, but in the opposite direction of what is known as the sushi restaurant street.
I had Ate almost the entire time and my family who went with me had Sushi from the middle of the meal, all of which were wonderful in both freshness and taste, and we enjoyed Hokkaido's seafood.
I was particularly impressed with the "Tachi Ponzu", "Shiromi no Kombusame", and "Toro no Aburi".
The restaurant also offers a wide selection of Hokkaido sake, including Sapporo Classic and a wide variety of Japanese sake.
In the end, the bill was just under 24,000 yen for me, who was served about 10 different kinds of appetizers until the end of the meal, two of us who ate 12 cans of sushi with about 5 different kinds, a bottle of beer, and about 4 gou of sake (junmai ginjo, a local sake made in Hokkaido).
I had an image that sushi restaurants in Otaru are expensive, but at this price, I was satisfied, or rather, very satisfied.
The counter is spacious and comfortable.
The person in charge of our meal was very friendly and helpful, and he gave us a good explanation not only about the food but also about the food situation in Hokkaido, which made our time there very enjoyable.
This restaurant is perfect for those who want to eat sushi with fresh seafood in Hokkaido.
No wonder the restaurant is full of reservations.
Thanks to the reservation, I was guided to a seat with a view of the canal, so I was able to enjoy my meal while looking at the canal. It's a pity that the menu is limited, but the food was delicious, there were original goods available, and everyone, led by the signboard girl, was very efficient, allowing me to enjoy my meal at a leisurely pace.
I was late for my reservation and had to change the time twice, but I didn't feel any unpleasantness at all. They kindly said, 'We'll be waiting for you,' and I was truly grateful for that. I think I almost tried everything on the menu, and there was not a single miss! I lost count of how many times I ordered the fried chicken; it was so delicious, and I had a wonderful time. Thank you very much.

The size of the rice, the exquisite balance of the red vinegar, the quality of the ingredients, everything was top-notch. The rare seaweed from Kyushu and the seasonal sea urchin sushi were amazing. The juice of the sea urchin burst in my mouth, followed by the aroma of the sea urchin and the crisp texture of the seaweed, which was exquisite. The herring sushi was also wonderful. I will definitely visit again.
Der Chef schien anfangs etwas schwierig zu sein, stellte sich jedoch als sehr umgänglich heraus. Die Snack-Auswahl und die Nigiri hatten eine besondere Note und waren sehr lecker. Der Alkohol wurde vom Chef ausgewählt, aber er hat etwas gewählt, das meinem Geschmack entsprach.

Simply delicious!!
Seafood spaghetti, rather than describing its deliciousness, it's more of a feeling of devouring it in silence.
Furthermore, the homemade ginger ale is quite delicious on its own, and even better as a ginger highball.
Frischer Fisch und Reis, leckere Getränke und ich war sehr zufrieden. Das Gespräch mit dem Koch war auch angenehm. Wenn sich die Gelegenheit ergibt, möchte ich wieder in dieses Restaurant gehen.
