I stopped by on a whim, but the counter seats were full, including reservations, so I ended up leaving. I was told it was just a coincidence, but it seemed like a fierce battle was going on until around 9 pm. Therefore, I decided to make a reservation before entering. I finally got a seat around 8 pm. I sipped on a strong green tea cocktail and enjoyed seasonal sushi. I savored the firm texture of the salmon as I chewed. It was just right. The black bean natto served here is delicious, but it's also great when mixed with homemade Nanban miso. Even when rolled in seaweed, it's delicious. The main course was great, of course, but the waitress's graceful demeanor also made me drink too much. Oh... I got drunk. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

Tsubakiya is a stable restaurant with a wide variety of menu options like tempura, fried chicken, and gratin. Today, I tried the oyster steak and it was delicious with a crispy surface. There have been a few changes in chefs over the past two years, so it feels a bit different when the head chef is not around. They allow smoking, so it's recommended for smokers.

It was the weekend, but surprisingly I was able to make a same-day reservation. I wanted to eat squid natto, so I had it made for me. The natto here is delicious! I decided to try something different and ordered the beef tongue, but it was a bit disappointing. It's a sushi restaurant, so I guess it can't be helped. The salmon and chu-toro were really delicious. The rolls were made with abalone and cucumber, with a good texture and nice aroma.

It's been a while since I visited Tsubakiya✨ Even though it was the weekend, I was able to make a same-day reservation, which was rare✨ This place is really affordable✨ The menu is also very extensive! The staff are friendly and whatever you order comes quickly and tastes delicious✨ You can also smoke cigarettes here, so it's recommended for smokers.

The banquet was held in a clean restaurant. It's unclear if it's a sushi restaurant or an izakaya. The appetizers, sashimi, and tuna were frozen, the yellowtail, lean tuna, and chawanmushi had sugar in them for some reason. The grilled dish was sablefish, tempura was wild vegetables, and sushi was just bad. It's a disappointing restaurant. Maybe because it's a cheap course menu?

In such times, it has been a year since my last visit. I started with a highball. As usual, even if I stay silent, the squid legs tempura will be served. (laughs) Appetizers included firefly squid with vinegar miso, octopus and seaweed roll. A sashimi platter with sea urchin, scallop, seaweed, alfonsino, tuna, and flounder. Also served were ankimo, bamboo shoots with vinegar miso, salted green chili peppers, pickles with dried squid, tekka maki, and mackerel rolls. It's the usual pattern to be served without ordering anything. Everything is delicious. The salted green chili peppers are irresistible. (Feb 2021)

It's been a while since our last visit. The usual three of us gathered at the counter seats and enjoyed highballs. The appetizer consisted of a platter with three types of dishes: simmered chicken gizzards, marinated spinach, and fried white fish. We also had fried squid legs, fresh and marinated mackerel, sea bream sashimi, natto rolls, and natto rolls topped with squid sashimi. We shared and enjoyed each dish we ordered. (Feb 2020)

Today I was treated by a high-ranking person, and the restaurant was very beautiful and seemed like a new establishment. The building looked like it might be newly built. The counter was lovely, and it seemed like the rest of the restaurant had private rooms. The customers were mostly older people in suits, probably for business entertainment. We had a course meal, and overall it was delicious and well-prepared. The appetizers and sashimi were particularly good, as expected from a sushi restaurant. It's a type of restaurant that is becoming more common these days, but this one is well-maintained.

Visited the restaurant on a weekday night to enjoy sushi and drinks with a friend. The interior, predominantly white, has an L-shaped counter and several private rooms. Despite the 6:30 pm visit, the place was quite crowded, with more customers in the private rooms than at the counter. We had pre-ordered the omakase, so we sat at the counter, sipped on beer, and started smoothly. - Appetizers: Ankimo, cod roe, pickled herring. The ankimo was interesting and a perfect match for the drinks. - Sashimi platter: Chu-toro, flounder, scallop, octopus, botan shrimp. The chu-toro was delicious. - Tachipon vinegar: Rich and creamy. - Grilled mackerel with miso: Lightly marinated. - Chawanmushi: Steamed egg custard. - Grilled crab miso: Hot and fragrant, loved it. - Babagarei simmered: Thick and satisfying, slightly on the salty side. - Karasumi: Sticky and perfect for drinking. - Nigiri sushi: Chu-toro, flounder, botan shrimp, ark shell, sea urchin. The taste was decent considering the price, but there was no explanation of the dishes, and the speed of service was too fast, causing the dishes to pile up. The crab miso and simmered dish were served together... Understandably busy, but I wish they had provided explanations and paced the service according to our eating speed. Well, with two glasses of tasty sake and beer, the bill was under 10,000 yen, so I can't complain. Thank you for the meal.

After eating to my heart's content at the first place, surrounded by beautiful women at the second place and singing a little (at a snack bar), my stomach still isn't satisfied. With the guidance of a local friend, we were led to a cozy private room with a nice atmosphere. I vaguely remember coming here around last year for the third place. I made a connection with a stranger woman sitting next to me at the counter. Anyway, I feel a bit out of place wearing a hoodie in this lovely restaurant. The seafood in this sushi roll is so plentiful and delicious! I'm happy that the portion of rice is small, perfect for a drinker like me. This is definitely a place I would like to visit from the first restaurant, but my wallet isn't feeling too generous at the moment. We enjoyed some light snacks here before moving on to the fourth place - the adventurous journey of Yuran and friends!

Three of us at the usual counter. Cheers with a highball. Before we knew it, a bottle was on the table. Complimentary dishes included simmered casbe, boiled rape blossoms, and hokke sushi. Without even ordering, we were served fried squid legs. The assorted sashimi platter included lean tuna, sea bream, horse mackerel, and surf clam. Nigiri sushi featured ark shell, conger eel, and roe rolls. Drinking with friends is important. (January 2019)

Eating sushi at the counter is nice. I tried various kinds like sea urchin, scallop, and tuna, but I only took a picture of the fatty tuna... The size of the rice was just right and it was really good! My companion is a smoker, so we looked for a place where they could smoke at the counter. I heard that a sushi restaurant nearby had a fire on Sunday... It's a busy schedule with year-end parties, but it's the final stretch towards the end of the year. Lately, it's trendy to say "the last of Heisei"...

I started with red wine since I had already been drinking. The appetizers were boiled stingray fin, baby snow crab, and gizzard shad sushi. I like the crunchy texture of the stingray fin. It was my first time trying the baby snow crab. It's been a while since I had gizzard shad sushi. They also served fried squid legs without us ordering, with mayonnaise on the side. The raw mackerel and flounder marinated in kelp were delicious. The green chili miso was spicy and good. The tuna sashimi was moist and tasty. The crispy fried white shrimp was a great snack. I ended up not ordering anything myself. I drank three bottles of red wine. It was a feast.

I visited Tsubakiya, a convenient restaurant in Susukino that is open at any time of the day. I arrived in Sapporo around 11:30 PM and decided to stop by this sushi restaurant. It was quite crowded, so I waited while enjoying a beer. I started with the spicy mountain wasabi roll and mountain wasabi appetizer, a must-have when in Hokkaido! It was really spicy, almost brought tears to my eyes, but delicious. I also ordered white fish such as Soi and Menke, as well as a large shrimp from Ishikari Bay. The head chef kindly served us a Shiga specialty, funa-zushi, as a complimentary dish. We enjoyed it with delicious local sake from Daishu Brewery before leaving.

The appearance of the store looks like a super high-class establishment, which can be a bit intimidating to enter. However, once you step inside, the chefs and staff are all friendly and welcoming. I usually order omakase at the counter, and the freshness and taste of the sushi are outstanding. It's a great place for entertaining clients, and the bill is surprisingly reasonable. The only downside is that it can be hard to get a table early in the evening, as it's popular with couples. However, it starts to quiet down after 8 PM. One suggestion is to have a better selection of sake. Overall, I think it's a very satisfying restaurant!

The restaurant has a variety of menu items other than sushi and is a relaxing place to dine. The ingredients are fresh, and I had delicious Hokkaido sea urchin after a long time.

I have been to Tsubakiya many times. The quality of the ingredients is great and the prices are reasonable. The surf clam, sea urchin, and medium fatty tuna were delicious.

The dishes overall were very good. The salmon was also very delicious. This is called Moui Salmon, and it seems to be exceptionally tasty among raw salmon.

A casual sushi restaurant that stays open until late at night, with an izakaya-like atmosphere. It is reasonably priced and you can get full quickly. It is great for people who want to eat a lot, and it could be useful for parties or gatherings.

It's cheap and high quality. They use good vegetables and salads, so it's delicious.
