Located behind JR Yoichi Station, near AEON, is a very affordable sushi restaurant for lunch on weekdays. The specialty is the "Manpuku Chirashi" for 990 yen. It is available from 11:00 to 14:00. Note that they are closed on Wednesdays. It was reported that it gets very crowded during lunchtime, but I was able to enter without waiting around 1:30 pm. The interior has an L-shaped counter and a tatami room in the back. They offer a variety of side dishes and a wide selection of drinks, making it a great place for a daytime drink. [Order] - Manpuku Chirashi (990 yen) - Salmon Miso Soup (110 yen) During lunchtime, most customers seem to order the cost-effective Manpuku Chirashi. There are 9 types of toppings. The service was quick, and the dish was served in no time. The chirashi was packed with a generous amount of sushi rice topped with salmon, mackerel, tuna, squid, sweet shrimp, octopus, salmon roe, flying fish roe, and egg. Although I went there hungry, I'm glad I didn't order the extra-large Manpuku Chirashi (with 14 types of toppings) because the regular size was already quite filling, almost bursting my stomach, but I managed to finish it. The 110 yen salmon miso soup is a must-order, and it was surprisingly filled with salmon slices along with seaweed, carrots, chopped green onions, and large pieces of daikon, making it delicious. In summary, this restaurant is popular not only among locals but also visitors for offering fresh seafood from Yoichi at reasonable prices. Despite the short wait in the cold, it's worth a visit.

The best value seafood bowl on weekdays, the "Manpuku Chirashi" for 990 yen and salmon head miso soup. It's a popular spot even on weekdays, so there's usually a line. I arrived at the restaurant 15 minutes after it opened at 11:00, started lining up, and waited for about 40 minutes before getting a table. If I had lined up a bit earlier, I might have been in the first group. The chirashi bowl is very filling for an average man. For women, ordering it with less rice might be just right. The sushi rice has a slightly strong vinegar taste, which personally I like. The salmon roe has a good texture and the marination is just right! And all this for 990 yen is a great deal. The salmon head miso soup has a rich flavor with plenty of salmon essence and oil, making it simply delicious. I recommend ordering it along with the seafood bowl. If you're in Yoichi and craving a satisfying seafood meal, this place is highly recommended.

This is a popular restaurant that always has a line at lunchtime. I visited with 4 people and waited for 50 minutes. We had the popular dish, the "Manpuku Chirashi Sushi". My partner had the regular size and I had the extra large size, which cost 1,800 yen. We also ordered salmon miso soup for 110 yen. The extra large size had 3 cups of vinegared rice. The food was delicious, so we finished it easily. I'm not a fan of the thinly sliced or cubed toppings, but the toppings were tasty.

I visited this local restaurant for a late lunch with some local juniors. We arrived around 2 pm and there were about 15 people waiting in line. It seems like everyone around here knows this place. About half of the people waiting looked like foreigners. Maybe it's because it's within walking distance from Yoichi Station. It's a restaurant that's not easy to visit unless you're with locals, so I'm happy about that. [Drinks Ordered] - Three glasses of draft beer [Food Ordered] - Lotus root chips - Assorted sashimi - Special chirashi bowl - Special nigiri sushi [Impressions] - The menu is so extensive that I couldn't capture it all in photos. There are various kinds of appetizers and dishes, making it suitable for those who drink alcohol. They even have dishes like shrimp chili. The portions are generous yet the prices are generally low. This is probably why it's popular among locals. We enjoyed our draft beers.

Visited around 1pm on Sunday. There was a line of about 10 groups, but we were seated in about 40 minutes. Ordered the set menu flyer for ¥2,350. The staff mentioned that it includes 1.5 cups of rice. The ingredients were fresh and delicious, with a wide variety of flavors and textures to enjoy. Overall, very satisfying. When I visit Yoichi again, I might choose this place over the other famous one in terms of wait time and value for money.

Upon arriving at the restaurant, there was a line. Oh! A parking spot opened up, so I was able to park my car right at the entrance of the shop. This is the first time this has happened to me. Oh! I just realized that tomorrow is their day off! The holiday schedule changed. By the way, they are closed tomorrow on the 20th and the day after tomorrow on the 21st. Today, it's crowded. Should I go for the Special Manpuku Chirashi with 14 items or the regular Manpuku Chirashi with 9 items? I'm torn. I think I'll go with the Manpuku Chirashi and add the Salmon Head Soup. I ordered the Manpuku Chirashi and Salmon Head Soup at the counter seats. The chef skillfully prepared the dishes. In no time, my food arrived! It looks delicious. First, I tried the pickled mackerel, which has a nice vinegar flavor. But it's delicious. Next, the tuna, the lean part is tasty. Today, there are scallops included as well. Also, there are eggs, squid, salmon, sweet shrimp, flying fish roe, and salmon roe, making a total of 9 items, and the rice is served in a full bowl. It's a satisfying meal. The Salmon Head Soup also contains a large daikon radish, carrot, and salmon head. The broth is delicious. It's great to be able to get so full at this price! It's a shame that I won't be able to come back for a while, but I will definitely return. Thank you for the delicious meal, and thank you very much.

Great value for money! I went to this restaurant for lunch on a weekday because my friend recommended it as a good place to eat. There was already a line of about 40 people 10 minutes before opening. Everyone seems to know good restaurants around here! I decided to order the larger size chirashi bowl for 1800 yen, as recommended. I also got miso soup for a stable 110 yen. If you want to try the seafood bowl, you need to budget around 5000 yen. The chirashi bowl was filled with about 2 bowls of vinegared rice and 14 different types of sashimi. It even had a unique dish of soy sauce-marinated shark fin. The flavor of bonito broth was excellent. The restaurant was bustling with customers coming in one after another. I would like to come back and enjoy a leisurely dinner next time.

Today, I had seafood bowl after a long time! I headed to the Yochi Family Garden in search of a satisfying meal. The seafood bowl here, known as "manpuku chirashi," is delicious. It fills you up completely. The restaurant is always packed, and I usually have to wait 20-30 minutes. But today, it wasn't too crowded. I was seated right away. The staff welcomed me with a cheerful voice and directed me to the counter. I ordered the "manpuku chirashi" for 990 yen and a salmon head soup for 110 yen. It used to be 880 yen in the past. The soup was also 100 yen, so the total was 980 yen! Unbelievable! You'll understand once you try it. The chirashi includes mackerel, egg, shrimp, tuna, squid, scallop, salmon, flying fish roe, and salmon roe. The salmon head soup has a layer of fish oil on top, and it can be scalding hot at times. But it's delicious. Some people even have 2-3 refills. It's filled with big chunks of radish, carrot, and salmon head, and it's tasty. I come here every year, and I think it's a great place for lunch on weekdays. You won't be disappointed. Thank you for the delicious meal, as always. I will definitely come back again. If you're thinking about going, I'll take a picture of the holiday calendar until August for you.

The restaurant offers a wide variety of ingredients and all the dishes are delicious, with a high cost-performance ratio. However, the portion size for each dish is quite large, so it may be better for those dining with children to ask for smaller portions.

I was planning to go to Shakotan, but my companion was tired, so we decided to turn back from Yoichi without going to Shakotan. However, we decided to have lunch before heading back, so we visited this place for the first time in 15 years! When I visited 15 years ago, I had the "extra-large Manpuku Chirashi" at this restaurant. With the effects of aging, I didn't have the courage to order the extra-large one this time, so I ordered the "Manpuku Chirashi" (990 yen). The toppings included tuna, amberjack, salmon, shime saba, squid, octopus, tobiko, ikura, sweet shrimp, and tamagoyaki. Wait, 10 kinds of toppings?! What a great deal! Although there was nothing particularly special about the place, it felt like a great deal! The vinegared rice was also well-balanced and delicious! Next time, I definitely want to try the "Sansei Don" (990 yen)! Thank you, Garden House!

I had a big meal for 1800 yen, which included 14 types of sashimi such as tuna, flounder, mackerel, sea snail, squid, salmon roe, flying fish roe, crab, scallop, mantis shrimp, salmon, shrimp, shark fin, and egg. It took me 40 minutes to wait in a long line. The meal consisted of 3 bowls of rice, and I managed to finish it all. I didn't realize how much food there was, my stomach feels so full! If I had known, I would have only eaten half.

This shop is located in Yoichi Town, Hokkaido. Yoichi is a charming town with both sea and mountains, and it is also close to Sapporo. The Nikka Whisky distillery is located here. The original name of Nikka Whisky was "Dai Nippon Kaju Kabushiki Kaisha" and the characters for "Nikka" come from "Nippon Kaju." Various fruits are also cultivated in the town, giving it an image of a fruit town. Yoichi is a coastal town with abundant seafood. Naturally, there are restaurants that serve delicious dishes made with fresh seafood. I usually have the lunch menu during the day, but today I visited at night. Since I had a full meal of Chinese food for lunch, I avoided chirashi sushi. The 15-piece nigiri lunch menu is good, but the nigiri at night is also good!

I had a great seafood meal with good value for money! I tried the beginner's sushi set for the first time during a weekday lunch, and it filled me up just right. However, I still prefer the extra large chirashi personally, as it gives me that "I've arrived" feeling and I really like it! You can also ask for a smaller portion of rice, so if you visit, be sure to try the large chirashi!

Visited on a Sunday around 11 am. The parking lot was empty and there were only about 2 groups inside the restaurant. I thought that weekends might be less crowded compared to weekdays, but it quickly became almost full. Ordered: Salmon and egg bowl for 2,350 yen, Assorted sashimi for 1,200 yen, Rice set for 490 yen. The vinegar rice in the salmon and egg bowl was so plentiful, it felt like it could fill about 3 bowls. The sashimi was thick and delicious. Adding the rice set to the sashimi made it into a great sashimi set meal. I will visit again on a weekday next time!

I had the "Manzoku Chirashi" lunch set for 990 yen and the "Salmon Miso Soup" for 110 yen. Great value for the price! The chirashi was satisfying, but the miso soup was especially delicious. Despite the long line, the turnover was quite fast, and I was able to enter in about 30 minutes. The person next to me struggled with the extra-large size, so I think sticking with the regular size (which is still filling) was a good choice.

I checked the post and it had been exactly a year since my last visit. The restaurant is called Family Sushi Garden House, and it is definitely a great place to eat. I wish I could go more often, but it's a bit far from Sapporo, taking almost an hour to get there. I really hope they move closer to my neighborhood. The prices, satisfaction, and weather were all perfect. This time I arrived at 1:20 and there was still a line outside the restaurant. My favorite thing is the staff member in the Mickey Mouse uniform. It was a sunny day, and the view of Yoichi under the clear sky was beautiful.

The super-sized Chirashi bowl is said to be made with 3 cups of rice! My companion finished it, but I was happy with the super-sized nigiri lunch. The cost performance is good. You may have to wait in line, but the turnover is pretty fast so it's not a big deal. If you prioritize volume over taste, you'll probably think it's a great value!

Corona seems to be settling down a bit, so I decided to visit the restaurant for the first time in six months! I know that the lunch on weekdays has good value for money, so I impulsively set off on a Saturday morning without eating breakfast! I arrived at the restaurant a little after 11:05, just missing the opening time, which was a bit disappointing, but there was no line outside the restaurant, so we were able to enter easily and sit at the counter near the entrance with my companion. It was really lucky! After that, the line quickly formed inside and outside the restaurant, as expected! Feeling good, we ordered the nigiri soba set and a special nigiri with abalone, sea urchin, and salmon roe, considering the value for money. The total bill was around 4050 yen, I think? Since it was right after opening, it took about 30 minutes from entering the restaurant to receiving our order, but watching the master's quick sushi-making skills made the time fly by! The sushi was all made with large, fresh toppings, and the soba in the set was piping hot, making it the perfect brunch! There was a notice in the restaurant about a price increase in October, which is understandable given the current situation. I plan to visit again aiming for a weekday lunch next time! Thank you for the delicious meal!

During the COVID-19 pandemic, I met up with a friend for the first time in 2 years and 8 months and went on a drive to have lunch. It was a Saturday and we knew it would be crowded, so we arrived 10 minutes before the opening time, but there was already a long line. My friend counted and we were the 28th in line. Luckily, we managed to get in on the first round when they opened. We ordered the premium sashimi and it was surprisingly served quickly and tasted delicious. It seemed like the people in the back tatami room were a group, but we finished our meal quickly and left as the second group.

I aimed for this place for lunch on the first day of my 1-night golf trip to Otaru. Despite the light rain, there was a line forming at 12:50. When I returned at 13:20 after finishing my errands, there was no line! I parked my car in front of the store and entered. There were 7-8 people waiting in the store waiting area. After waiting patiently for about 30 minutes, I was seated at the counter. I ordered the "manpuku chirashi" for 950 yen and added a salmon miso soup for 110 yen. The owner was cooking alone, so it was quite busy! The female staff members were handling tasks such as billing, general hall management, and serving miso soup. Their kind service left a good impression on me and made me happy. The food was served in about 15 minutes. The toppings included squid, crab, flying fish roe, egg, tuna, mackerel, scallop, salmon, and salmon roe, all on top of vinegar rice with seaweed. The vinegar rice was packed in a bucket and was quite heavy, seemed like there was more than one serving. The miso soup had radish, carrot, and a large piece of salmon which was very satisfying. It's a must-try for the cost performance. There was also pickled ginger on the table. It gets a bit tough towards the end, but the delicious toppings make it worth it. I was very satisfied. Next time, I'll go for less rice. Some people were taking the oversized portion home, enjoying Otaru's specialty! Thank you for the meal!

Yoichi Garden House. Although it is limited to weekdays, the seafood bowl that can be eaten for less than 1,000 yen stands out! Great value for money! And the salmon soup for 110 yen was delicious! On a certain weekday, I arrived at 11:05, but there was already a line... Did I make a mistake!? I thought, but I was able to be seated at 11:26 and the food was served 3 minutes after ordering. From opening to full house, it takes about 25 minutes for the first round of serving, and then it speeds up as people finish eating. If you don't line up before 11:00, depending on the situation, if you line up around 11:10-15, you may be able to eat around 11:30-35. It depends on the situation of the day... The chef's skills are amazing, fast, and meticulous. I skipped breakfast that day and faced the challenge with full determination. As mentioned at the beginning, the food was served at 11:30. I looked at the bowl placed in front of me and felt a bit overwhelmed... Alright, let's do this. I didn't have time to take a picture of the salmon soup that was brought out later, but it was so rich and delicious. The seafood bowl included tuna, fresh octopus, mackerel, salmon, sweet shrimp, fresh squid, salmon roe, flying fish roe, and tamago (egg) - 9 different toppings!! There might have been scallops too... I was so focused on eating that I honestly don't remember what I ate. The rice was slightly sweetened vinegar rice, and there was plenty of it - maybe more than a bowl's worth. They pressed it down tightly when serving (laughs). Of course, it's a delicious seafood bowl, but it's also a battle with yourself. Tuna ⇒ Delicious tuna. Higher quality than average. The rich flavor makes the rice go down well. Octopus head ⇒ Fresh and tasty!! The octopus head unique to the port town of Yoichi is delicious. Squid ⇒ Also fresh!! Recently, it's been rare to have the chance to eat delicious squid, but this one was tasty. Mackerel ⇒ Good shime saba (pickled mackerel). I'm not good with oily fish, but I enjoyed it. Salmon ⇒ The fattiness was just right, and it goes well with the rice. Salmon roe ⇒ Happy ikura (salmon roe). Popping the roe in your mouth is a joy. Flying fish roe ⇒ The crunchy texture is enjoyable. Recently, the price of flying fish roe has gone up at the supermarket nearby. It's generous and satisfying. Sweet shrimp ⇒ Only one tail, but better to have it than not. When you think of Yoichi, you think of sweet shrimp! Tamago ⇒ This is the one for sushi egg! Priced at 950 yen. The price hasn't changed since my review in September last year. Many things have become more expensive since then, so I hope they don't push themselves too hard. Personally, I think the volume and quality are worth 1,200 yen. The ingredients in the 110 yen soup are still jumbo-sized. The daikon radish and sweet potato are large and filling. Phew!! Full!! Satisfied. Including the soup, it's 1,060 yen. It's too cheap. The line is understandable. I will visit again.
