This sushi master has truly perfected his art. By far the best omakase we have ever had (better than a famous Michelin starred sushi restaurant we went to in Otaru) and all at an unbelievably affordable price of 4300yen. Nestled under a serene mountain landscape in a residential area, each piece of sushi was a work of art - the freshest fish that is the most expertly prepared on top of perfectly balanced sushi rice. Along with the owner’s warm hospitality, I cannot rave about this place enough. We were lucky and was able to get a table walking at 6pm but some nights they could be fully reserved. We loved it so much we came back a second time as the last meal during our one month stay in Japan. Truly unforgettable.

little comes close to the value a 4,700 yen omakasae can provide, for 16 dishes no less. but what made this experience invaluable was knowing the sushi master is a friendly old chap who has been doing this for 43 years no less, with his wife, on their own. i don’t think we see enough people committing their lives to a single trade for their whole lifetime, and with such unfaltering enthusiasm to boot. couldn’t have found a better way for this omakasae experience to have turned out (my first, despite years of sashimi fueled gastronomical adventures) ft. obligatory picture he asked if we could take (which he communicated through a smol translator bobble thingy)

5 star rating! Kanda-san and his wife are an excellent team delivery great sushi, customer service and a memorable experience! I actually ate twice during lunch and dinner in the same day because I enjoyed it so much. It’s one of the best hidden gems of Hakodate with many locals recommending this place to me. I was the only diner during lunchtime, arriving around 3PM and I was fortunate to have a more personal dining experience in a homely manner. The fish tasted fresh and the rice portions perfectly vinegered. Not too dry or moist and also at the perfect temperature. Please enjoy this sushi as it is an unforgettable experience!

I won't forget the experience aI had at this place, I came to celebrate my birthday ordered the omakase and sake, and ot was incredible the freshness of the fish gave each nigiri a great taste i also recived an honorable gift plate and dashi soup whice were delicious as well The sushi chef is professional and has been making sushi for 47 years. If you come to Hakodate treat yourself to a visit I'll also recommend to reserve a place as they dont have many seats They're unaffiliated with the other benten sushi at town I have a shellfish allergy and they heard my requests and didn't gave me any Definitely would come again.

I came to this place 3 times, and only managed to get in on the third try. First time was a sunday, second time was a monday at 12.30pm, finally got a seat at 6pm on monday. This sushi shop is run by an adorable japanese couple. The sushi is of high quality, and I had a really good time here. The sushi chef is a polite man that doesn’t speak much english, but he has a translator that he speaks into to communicate with foreigners. I had no regrets coming here even though it was really quite far away. I will come here again the next time i come to Hakodate. Thank you for the great meal and hospitality :)

This is the best sushi experience I’ve ever had! We opted to order the omakase at this homey restaurant. I think during this time is slow season so we felt special for being the only guest there. There was a sense of sadness with every bite, especially the last, simply because it meant we were one step closer to the end of our meal. The owners’ hospitality was unmatched, and the sushi was delicious with the finest fish selections. I only wish I lived closer to enjoy this gem weekly. A heartfelt thank you for an unforgettable experience that I will always remember! どうもありがとうございます!
