I ordered the course menu. The menu included: - Pickled mackerel - Assorted sashimi - Corn tempura - Asparagus, cucumber, and tomato - Hanasaki crab - Sushi (salmon roe, eel, shrimp, sea bream, tuna) - Yubari melon - Additional) Mackerel sushi It was delicious, especially the mackerel sushi!

I usually use it at night, so it was my first time during the day. It was a course meal, starting from appetizers, sushi, grilled fish, and more. I also added corn tempura. The lineup was the same as at night and it was wonderful. I always enjoy delicious meals here. I will go again.

Sushi and Japanese restaurant located on the 11th floor of ANA Crowne Plaza Hotel Chitose in the center of Chitose City. The view from the large windows overlooks not only Chitose City but also Nagano and Kitahiroshima, offering a fantastic view. The atmosphere inside the restaurant is calm, with a skilled chef working behind the counter. The recommended specials on the blackboard include crab, scallops, shishamo, and asparagus, giving a true taste of Hokkaido, making it clear that the main target audience is tourists. However, the lunch menu with a small selection is quite appealing. A Lunch: ¥1,300 with coffee The nigiri sushi is made with fresh, carefully prepared ingredients, although the tuna could have been better considering it's a hotel restaurant. The rice is well balanced, with a vinegar taste at the center, firm grains that melt in your mouth, appealing to a wide range of tastes. The udon noodles are served hot in a solid fuel and paper pot, with a simple yet tasty broth made from bonito and kelp, complementing the sushi well. The chawanmushi (savory egg custard) is delicious, with a generous amount of ingredients for the price. The tempura portion is a bit small, but when eaten with matcha salt, it's satisfying. The meal is filling, with a coffee included, making it a good value for a stable quality hotel lunch.

Emergency declaration lifted, reopening for business from this day. In at 12 o'clock! No other customers due to the pandemic. I ordered the A lunch set with 6 pieces of sushi, udon, tempura, chawanmushi, salad, and coffee. The sushi was delicious with a good amount of wasabi. The udon broth was also great! The tempura was crispy and tasty, especially the shrimp tempura on top of the udon. Enjoyed the coffee while looking at the view. Satisfied with the lunch! A lunch set for 1300 yen. Thank you for the meal! (^^)v

The lineup is so diverse that I always have a hard time deciding what to eat whenever I go. But I always order the corn tempura. The shishamo is surprisingly huge, unlike anywhere else. It's Hokkaido-sized. A must-try. The sashimi is fresh and delicious as expected.

I vividly remember the staff's extremely bad attitude. I will never go there again! I feel sorry for my friend who was looking forward to our trip to Hokkaido. I have given Hokkaido a bad impression...

Today I came to Chitose for work. The wind feels refreshing. It's quite different from Osaka. The lunch my business partner took me to was at a Japanese restaurant called Fujika on the 11th floor of ANA Crown Hotel. They prepared a lunch set for us. When I sat down, I was surprised by the view from the large window. You can see the cityscape of Chitose and greenery far in the distance. It's a great location. Now, about the food. On the table, there was chirashi sushi and lettuce salad. And also chawanmushi. The chirashi sushi had tuna and salmon cut into squares scattered on top. The texture was nice. The chawanmushi had a gentle and delicious taste. Then came the paper pot udon. It's quite unique. The paper pot udon warms up quickly. Halfway through, a tempura assortment was served. Especially the pumpkin was crispy and comforting. I dipped the shrimp in the broth of the paper pot udon. Eating the batter with the udon broth was tasty. Finally, I had coffee. It was a nice lunch in a calm atmosphere. Thank you for the meal.

It's a regular weekday, but I have the day off work. I want to take advantage of this opportunity to visit a restaurant that is only open on weekdays. This place only serves lunch on weekdays. I called ahead to confirm that they were open on this weekday in between Golden Week (May 2nd) and this is my first visit. I ordered the tempura bowl set for 1,300 yen plus a service charge, and ice cream for 320 yen plus a service charge. The tempura bowl included kabocha, shrimp, seaweed, green pepper, salmon, and white fish. It came with salad, miso soup, udon, and coffee. The tempura sauce was on the rich side, while the miso soup was subtly sweet. The udon was simple with just green onions in a light broth. In the summer, it is served cold. The coffee cup was smaller than expected, and you can also choose oolong tea or orange juice. When it came time to pay, the total should have been 2,920 yen including tax, but I was told it was 3,000 yen. They didn't give me a receipt, so I'm not sure if the extra 80 yen was a service charge, even though it wasn't listed on the menu. The restaurant probably has a beautiful atmosphere and night view for evening visits. The photo I took doesn't do it justice, but even during the day, the view of Mount Eniwa is stunning. Thank you for the meal.

When I went to Hokkaido for work, I stayed at ANA CROWNE PLAZA HOTEL in Chitose. For dinner, due to the limited time and uncertainty of when I might need to leave for work, I decided to dine at the hotel. There were two restaurants in the hotel, one casual restaurant called "Haskap" and a high-end sushi and seafood grill restaurant called "Fujika" on the 11th floor. I chose the latter as I wanted to try something Hokkaido-style. The staff brought me a beer and a Hokkaido specialty for starters. I left the ordering to a Hokkaido native, and first, we had thick bacon which was completely different from what I usually find in my local supermarket. Then, the familiar buttery potatoes made from "Inca no Mezame" potatoes with a strong sweetness. The combination of Hokkaido butter and salted fish roe enhanced the sweetness of the potatoes even more. As for the asparagus, it looked like regular green asparagus but was actually purple asparagus. I tried it raw for the first time and was surprised by its mild sweetness. I couldn't find purple asparagus to buy at the airport on my way back, but I did enjoy Hokkaido beef steak and sushi for my Hokkaido dinner. After that, I headed back to work.

[June 2011 first visit] I stayed at the ANA Crowne Plaza Hotel and decided to visit this restaurant to enjoy delicious seafood. Located on the 11th floor, the night view was beautiful. We sat at the counter and chatted with the chef while eating (laughs). It would be a nice place for a date as well. We ordered the omakase course for 5000 yen. I don't remember the exact order, but we had small dishes (like mozuku), sashimi, hairy crab, grilled fish, miso-grilled eggplant, sushi, and soup. The sashimi and grilled fish featured a fish called Chippu, which is in season from June to August (I looked it up later, and it's called Himemasu, caught in Lake Shikotsu). The fish had a delicate and delicious taste. The sugar-pickled tomatoes served with the grilled fish were amazing and juicy. The miso-grilled eggplant was unique and delicious. The sushi, especially the scallop, was so tasty and different from what you get in the Kanto region. As a bonus, we received a dessert not included in the course, almond jelly with a hint of red bean paste. We were so full and satisfied. The chef was friendly and we had a pleasant dining experience. I would love to visit again if I have the chance to go back to Hokkaido. [September 2011 revisit] I sat at the counter again, this time on the chef's side. Unfortunately, there were some issues that made me uncomfortable, so I left the restaurant. It's a shame because my first visit was so pleasant. They may need to improve their customer service and attentiveness, especially being located in the ANA Crowne Plaza Hotel. I probably won't be returning.

****April 27, 2010 Dinner Review**** For dinner, I had pork shabu-shabu. Pork belly with tofu, green onions, enoki mushrooms, and mizuna, and lettuce. The hot pot had sliced garlic and red chili peppers in hot water. The sauce was a clear broth, more like a soup. I added plenty of green onions to the broth served in a small bowl and wrapped the shabu-shabu meat around them. The unique sweetness of the pork fat combined with the broth's umami was delicious. Shabu-shabu the lettuce in the soup with floating pork fat was also tasty. I discovered a new charm of lettuce - it retains its crunchy texture even when cooked. The meal ended with ramen, and by that time, the soup had a nice richness from the pork fat. Adding lots of green onions to the ramen made it a delightful meal. It was a happy day. ****April 27, 2010 Lunch Review**** I couldn't resist trying the sushi at "Fujika" after being impressed by the meat and garlic rice yesterday. The sushi counter had a variety of delicious fish, so I decided to have lunch there. Tomato salad and tempura white shrimp were served as appetizers. The tomato salad, served with pickled ginger, was surprisingly delicious when the ginger was placed on the tomato. The sushi I had was salmon, which was fresh king salmon. The beautifully striped flesh with a hint of shimmering fat was a sight to behold. The salmon melted in the mouth, perfectly balanced between fat and flesh, with a light and savory taste. The chef's cooking skills were outstanding, and I look forward to trying more delicious dishes. ****April 26, 2010 Dinner Review**** During a business trip to Chitose, I visited the restaurant "Fujika" for dinner. The restaurant has a counter and tables, with private rooms for larger parties. I opted for the counter seating, where I could watch the open kitchen. Although known for sushi and seafood dishes, they also had a recommendation for meat. I tried the "Beef Ribeye Grilled on a Net," which was shown to me in its raw state, a beautiful piece of meat. It was lightly seared rare, and served with garlic soy sauce and rock salt. The aroma of the charcoal grilling was appetizing, and the meat's fat melted in the mouth with a sweet taste. The fat disappeared smoothly after eating, not overwhelming. The garlic soy sauce paired perfectly with the meat, creating an irresistible flavor. For the finale, I had garlic rice with the meat fat, finely chopped garlic, and green onions, which was not on the menu but recommended by the chef. It was a satisfying meal.

I requested the omakase course for 5250 yen per person, but based on the content of this course, a price range of 3000 to 4000 yen would be more appropriate. The course included appetizer, sashimi, steamed turnip, grilled dish, sushi, clear soup, and dessert. In terms of service, the appetizer and sashimi were served at the same time, and despite being a private tatami room, it was not a traditional sunken kotatsu style. The seating arrangement had one person facing away from the night view, and during the winter, sitting by the window was cold with the glass decorations (Japanese-style stained glass) being a safety hazard as they were falling onto the tatami. Regarding the food, the appetizer lacked the finesse of being freshly prepared, the sashimi was decent, and the sushi included tekka maki, squid, and tuna. The most disappointing aspect was the dessert, consisting of pear and sour mandarin oranges, which were unexpectedly placed in a random mandarin orange box next to the cash register. It would have been better to offer strawberries or a dessert of better quality, especially in December. The background music playing in the restaurant did not match the ambiance of a Japanese restaurant, as it was J-pop. Perhaps they could work on creating a more suitable atmosphere. The menu mentioned that the restaurant is not directly operated by a hotel, which may explain some shortcomings due to rental costs, but it still feels inadequate, especially for visitors from outside the region or from overseas. As a local resident, it's disappointing. Are there any good Japanese restaurants in the Chitose area that offer a more refined dining experience, suitable for business entertainment?

Located within a 5-minute walk from Chitose Station, the restaurant is inside the ANA CROWNE PLAZA Hotel. The restaurant matches the nice atmosphere of the hotel, with private rooms available and a great view of the night scenery, making it perfect for entertaining guests. While it may be considered a bit pricey for Chitose standards, the food offers excellent value for the price. The restaurant serves fresh ingredients like other sushi restaurants in Chitose, but stands out for its overall atmosphere and convenient location near the station. For dinner, I recommend the chef's choice course, which includes a variety of seasonal dishes like grilled fish and sushi. If you plan to continue the evening with a second round at another location, keep in mind that the restaurant is a bit far from Chitose's nightlife area, so I suggest taking a taxi for convenience.

It was a party at a seafood and sushi restaurant on the 11th floor of a hotel (formerly ANA Hotel), located 15 minutes by car from Sapporo (Chitose) Airport and a 10-minute walk from Chitose Station. The view from the 11th floor is quite impressive. You can really feel how vast Hokkaido is. Since it is a restaurant in a hotel, they must source good ingredients. We had a sashimi platter, sea urchin dish, grilled saury, and enjoyed shochu. Everything was fresh with a good texture and taste. We continued drinking with the usual izakaya menu, and finished with sushi, ordering 7-8 pieces per person. However, being an ANA Hotel, the price was quite high. The evening view from the reserved private room was nice, but the bill was almost 20,000 yen, which was a bit expensive. If I had known, I could have had a better cost-effective meal in the city. It might be better to order a set menu instead of having a party.
