It was fortunate to get a private room at 11a.m. on a weekday without a reservation but I think this restaurant is popular so it's best to make a reservation.

You can easily order by touch panel. It gives the option to include wasabi or order wasabi on the side.

They have other shops, including ones in Shinjuku and Ginza. The price is far more expensive there than at this main shop in Otaru. The rent costs a lot more in Tokyo and they have to ship down all the seafood....so you'll pay for that premium if dining at the same shop at a Tokyo branch.

There's even a waiting room to keep customers happy with free wifi. It also prevents people from having to stand out in the cold. If going in the winter, the streets are slippery and icy, so take care!

The food took more time than I expected to come but this is a slow food place. If you want fast food, go to the fish market next to the station.

The sets in the photo...I think we're 2500 and 3000 yen? The uni-ikura bowl was 4500yen for a small bowl. It comes with a small bowl of Tororo kombu soup. I'd you know quality sushi and like to eat in peace, this place is for you. Not a big amount of food but this is good since you'll want to stay hungry to eat all the sweets down the street, shopping on the main Otaru strip.

If you're a tourist unsure if what's good sushi, you probably don't need to come here...and just finding the cheapest deal around should be fine.

The service was professional. Not what I would call friendly but very professional.
