After visiting Esukon Field, I happened to stop by this restaurant on my way back to Kitahiroshima Station. I visited around 6pm on a weekday, and about 80% of the seats were taken by locals. I looked at the recommended menu inside and ordered a platter of three pieces of fresh tuna, hokke sushi, and fresh horse mackerel. The freshness of the ingredients was something you wouldn't find in the Kanto region. The hokke sushi had a perfect amount of fat, and the fresh tuna was exceptional. Considering the price and taste, it was a pretty good restaurant.

This time, I visited a restaurant in Chuo 3-chome in Kitahiroshima City, which is located in the shopping district of Kitahiroshima. After arriving at the restaurant and parking the car in the front parking lot, I entered the restaurant. I informed the staff of the number of people, and we were promptly seated at a table. We looked through the various menus and started off by ordering a draft beer. The first sushi dish that arrived was a platter of tuna sushi. The akami (lean tuna) had a rich flavor, the suki-mi (medium fatty tuna) had a strong taste, and the o-toro (fatty tuna) was deliciously fatty. Next, we tried the iwashi (sardine) sushi, which had a good amount of fat and the bones were not bothersome. Then, we had a platter of shellfish sushi, which included scallop, red clam, and whelk. Personally, I was not completely satisfied with the whelk. To address this, we ordered a single piece of live whelk sushi, which had a crunchy texture and was more delicious than the previous whelk sushi. Initially, I didn't have high expectations for this restaurant, but it turned out to be a decent place for casual dining, although not as impressive as the top revolving sushi restaurants in Sapporo.

This place is great. They serve large, Hokkaido-style sushi toppings that are all delicious. The service is fast. You can also try unique items like hokke nigiri and octopus head, which you can't find in Kanto region. It's nice that kids get free juice. I recommend the tuna nigiri and fatty salmon.

I always visit here when there is a celebration. The sushi here has great value for money. I recommend the tuna, chu-toro, and o-toro. They were delicious. Today, in addition, I also had seared o-toro salmon and herring nigiri. The customer service here is also excellent.

This is a rotating sushi restaurant in Kitahiroshima City. It was my first visit. The most delicious dish was the silver salmon. It has a different flavor from regular salmon, with a good balance of richness and firmness. It was surprisingly tasty. The other dishes were also reasonably priced and quite delicious. Considering the price and taste, this restaurant is quite impressive. I would like to visit again from time to time. Thank you for the meal~(^o^)

It's lunchtime in Kitahiroshima... I visited "Kaiten Sushi Ginjiro Kitahiroshima Store" which opened on June 3, 2016. According to their website, it is operated by the "Yuuhi Group" and they have another store in Nayoro called "Kaiten Sushi Kirara Nayoro Store". They have a parking lot for about 20-30 cars. There were around 5 staff members, all of them were energetic and provided pleasant service. I started with a beer... oh wait, I was driving. They served tea in a teacup. The recommended menu was handed to me as soon as I sat down. The menu was quite challenging for someone like me who is on a diet. The plates ranged from 154 to 704 yen. You can order up to 3 plates at a time. I started with "3 pieces of tuna @473 yen" which included fatty tuna, lean tuna gunkan, and red tuna. I prefer red tuna over fatty tuna, and the red tuna had a good aroma. It would have been better if the slices were a bit thicker, but considering the price, I can't complain. The lean tuna gunkan was average, and the fatty tuna, although not top quality, had good fat content and tasted delicious. Next, I tried "3 pieces of blue fish @297 yen" which included mackerel, Pacific saury, and horse mackerel. The vinegar-marinated mackerel was a bit dry, the Pacific saury was not in season so it was average, and the horse mackerel had a nice fatty texture. It was a good deal for the price. Lastly, I had my favorite "burdock roll @154 yen". The burdock had a crispy texture, but the rice was tightly packed making it quite filling. I thought about ordering another plate, but after eating this, I was satisfied. The rice was well-cooked with a mild vinegar seasoning, and the pickled ginger here was delicious (which is quite important to me personally). I had 9 pieces in total and the bill came to 924 yen. This is just the right amount for a lunch. It's also a good place to stop by when watching baseball at "F Village", which is about a 10-minute walk away. Thank you for the meal.

Our recent favorite place for sushi is Kuccha Uzoka. It's affordable and good quality. We tried a variety of dishes, including rare items like octopus. The live surf clam and bluefin tuna were delicious, but the standout was the Sanpei soup. It had potatoes, daikon radish, and plenty of trout salmon head, creating a rich and flavorful broth. The total bill for two people was 4400 yen. It was a great experience!

Located about a 3-minute walk from Kitahiroshima Ballpark. I went at 11:20 and there were about 5 people waiting. I had only ever eaten hokke grilled before, but here I was able to try hokke sashimi for the first time. The hokke sashimi was delicious. It had a meaty texture typical of hokke, and the flavor was rich. You order on paper here (up to 3 items at a time). The most delicious was the large salmon. It was worth a visit. Sushi lovers should go here for an energy boost before watching baseball.

It was full around 3 p.m. on Sunday. Rare items like taraba crab in fundoshi seem to change depending on the season. The sushi was fresh and delicious, and the prices were reasonable. The staff were very friendly and left a good impression. I will definitely visit again.

This is my second visit. It was quite crowded with families on a Saturday night, so we had to wait for about 15 minutes. We started with the tuna, which was delicious just like last time. The tuna sashimi platter, live surf clam, and other dishes were all tasty. Surprisingly, the cream cheese salmon, which sounded like a junk food idea, was a hit. The black pepper added a nice touch, making it very delicious and making me want to have some wine.

My son who came home for a visit wanted to eat sushi, so we went to a conveyor belt sushi restaurant that used to be a different place in the past. It was my first time visiting Ginjiro. We went on a weekday around 5 pm so it was not crowded. They had a wide variety of sushi toppings. The sea bream this year was very delicious, it just melted in your mouth. The steamed oysters were plump and juicy. The tuna was also very tasty. The miso soup was incredibly delicious. Most of the sushi was above average in taste, with the only disappointment being the herring. The bill was reasonable too.

Happy New Year. I visited the construction site of "Escon Field" in Kitahiroshima City, Hokkaido, which will be the home of the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters from 2023. I have fond memories of the Sapporo Dome, where I used to enjoy local barbecue at the "Western" restaurant after losing games until late at night. Although I am not a Nippon-Ham Fighters fan, I look forward to visiting the new stadium someday. The Sapporo Dome has been a place of many memories for me, including a game where Yu Darvish pitched a one-hit shutout loss, sitting in the Diamond seats and seeing the players as tiny dots, and a victory in the Climax Series with Shohei Ohtani as the starting pitcher. The Sapporo Dome will continue to thrive as the home of the J-League Consadole Sapporo and as a concert venue. The economic impact of the new stadium relocation is estimated to be around 163.6 billion yen in the first year and approximately 678.8 billion yen over the next 10 years. The Escon Field will feature hot springs, sauna facilities, accommodation, craft beer brewery, and restaurants. Surrounding the stadium, there will be condominiums, parking lots, a children's daycare center, agricultural learning facilities, a kids' area, glamping, villas, and even a new JR station. This new development is expected to bring significant economic benefits to the area. Moving away from Escon Field, I visited a conveyor belt sushi restaurant near the Kitahiroshima City Hall called SM Coop Sapporo Kitahiroshima store. Although I am unfamiliar with this particular chain, I discovered that they also have a restaurant in Nayoro City. While many conveyor belt sushi chains now offer sushi that does not rotate on lanes, this restaurant still features rotating plates, which I find enjoyable. The variety of sushi, including three types of tuna, salmon, silver salmon, Hokkaido-shime saba, large shrimp, steamed Hiroshima oysters, enagawa with Yama wasabi, horse mackerel, and snow crab with crab miso, was impressive. The quality and quantity of the sushi were on par with popular gourmet conveyor belt sushi chains in Hokkaido. The prices were a bit high, but considering the high cost of living, it seemed reasonable. The staff's energy and attentiveness were excellent, creating a pleasant dining experience. The soft-serve ice cream ranking displayed on the wall was fascinating, with a wide variety of flavors. Overall, it was a delightful dining experience.

I decided to go to Kitahiroshima by bike. I rode along the cycling road and my knees were quite tired. I saw the under-construction Escon Field Hokkaido along the way and finally arrived at Kitahiroshima Station. Since I had come this far, I decided to have a meal before heading back. I ordered seasonal dishes, which looked decent. They had a wide variety of soft serve ice cream, which they highly recommended. Surprisingly, they didn't accept cashless payments, so I paid in cash. Thank you for the meal!

Although the Shinro branch has closed, I wonder if this place will continue to operate? Visited with my wife for lunch, we were the first in line and were seated in Box 14 after a 5-minute wait. We ordered 13 dishes: live scallop, large cut eel, live horse mackerel, salmon roe, live shelled clam x2, Otaru-caught hokke, Kitakaribushi-shime saba x2, tuna, salt ramen, clam miso soup, and fried squid. The tea cups and soy sauce dishes are hard to take out, but the service is fast! The sushi is good! My wife was very happy with the salt ramen, it's seriously tastier than ramen shops. Also, the green onions on the live horse mackerel were delicious! It's been a while since I've had such tasty green onions. The chef and other staff members have a good vibe, the atmosphere is lively but not overly noisy, allowing for a calm and enjoyable dining experience. 13 dishes for 3,910 yen. Thank you for the meal! (^^)V

During the journey from New Chitose Airport to Sapporo, I made a detour and had an early dinner. It was a little after 5 pm and the restaurant was about half full. It seemed like a compact sushi restaurant with a conveyor belt. It was my first time at a conveyor belt sushi restaurant, so I was excited to see what they recommended. Here are some of the items I chose from their recommendations: - Kita Kushiro mackerel: A brand mackerel from Kushiro with delicious fat. - Live Hokkai scallop: Even if you're not a fan of scallops, you can still enjoy the umami flavor. - Herring: The fat content was a bit lacking. I also had three types of tuna, engawa, salmon, and live turban shell. Overall, it was a delicious conveyor belt sushi restaurant. Thank you for the meal. Rating: 3.24

After hitting some golf balls at Kitahiro's driving range, I felt hungry and decided to try out Ginjiro, a restaurant in Sapporo that stays open an hour later than others. The menu was quite extensive and I decided to order their recommended Shime Kohada. It arrived with a nice shine and I ended up eating about 10 plates. Among them, the saltwater sea urchin and fatty amberjack were particularly delicious. Also, the squid tempura was a great deal and very tasty. Overall, a great dining experience! ⭐️⭐️⭐️

When I happened to stop by Kitahiroshima City, it was just past noon so I decided to have lunch. I was thinking about having ramen, but then I found a conveyor belt sushi restaurant and decided to give it a try. It was a very ordinary conveyor belt sushi restaurant. They had a kids' corner and souvenirs for children, showing that they cater to families. The taste and size of the sushi were good. It's the kind of place you can visit regularly.

On a certain weekday, I went on a little expedition to an area near Kitahiroshima Station in Sapporo where there is a revolving sushi restaurant that also has one branch in Sapporo. The parking lot seems to have enough space to park in front of the store. The interior of the store looks a bit more compact than the average revolving sushi chain store, with a U-shaped counter and box seats along the lane. I entered the store right after it opened, and gradually more customers started coming in. Wow! I was surprised when an elderly regular customer who came in after me left in less than 10 minutes. Oh, it's a bit difficult to take out the tea cups and soy sauce dishes. The background music is probably the best enka songs playing. From the menu on that day, I chose a few items that caught my eye based on intuition. The vinegar rice is not too strong to interfere with the toppings. The "Kaneshime Saba (240 yen tax included)" has a large piece of fish with a strong flavor of fat, just right before it becomes overwhelming. The "Live Hokkigai (285 yen)" is opened right in front of you and served with the shell on, which adds to its appeal. When I took a bite, it had a convincing texture and sweetness. The "Chutoro (285 yen tax included)" also has a large piece of fish, maybe benefiting from its freshness? The perfect balance of fat and acidity is pleasing. The "Seared Salmon (185 yen tax included)" was taken from in front of me just as it was about to be placed on the lane, and the fat content is amazing. The "Squid Shio-Kara Gunkan (125 yen tax included)" is a voluminous gunkan topped with sweet and salty squid shio-kara, which is satisfying for its price. The "Seared Miso Saba (185 yen tax included)" was once again taken from in front of me at the perfect timing by the staff, and the thick saba has a satisfying texture with a miso flavor reminiscent of sweet and salty oden. The "Hokkigai Himo Nigiri (185 yen tax included)" with lightly blanched hokkigai strips wrapped in seaweed is a generous portion without any strange odor, making your mouth happy with the abundance of hokkigai. Suddenly, not only the recommendations but also the cheaper options around 185 yen are delicious, with large toppings that are satisfying! I was also happy that the total bill was less than 2,000 yen at 1,600 yen. The staff's approach was not pushy but rather pleasant, making me feel good about being "tricked" into ordering more. I would like to visit this store again, just like the Shinro store. Thank you for the meal.

Having dinner in Kitahiroshima. Found this local revolving sushi restaurant that is still open past 9 pm. It's quite empty but new customers keep coming in. The Negitoro Natto, Wasabi Kappa Maki, Crab Stick Tempura Nigiri, Wasabi Eggplant, and Tuna Avocado were all delicious! The fish was fresh and the sushi was much tastier than expected. The prices were quite reasonable. Although the side dishes and desserts were limited, I was very satisfied with the sushi! Thank you for the meal!

Today's lunch was here! I arrived around 2 pm, hoping to get a seat easily. Unfortunately, we had to wait for about 15-20 minutes before being seated. I was quite hungry, so I quickly placed my order. My companion ordered shrimp miso soup and chawanmushi, both of which were delicious. The chawanmushi was piping hot! I was so focused on eating that I completely forgot to take photos, except for one. We enjoyed the meal very much. Thank you!
