On the final day of the New Year holiday, I visited Sushidokoro Hishida in Fukuzumi. When I made a reservation, they mentioned that there was less fish available than usual. This was my second visit, as I had been there once last year. The young chefs were being directed by the head chef, who was managing the place. There were regular customers and a wide variety of sake available, so I decided to have a drink. I used a coupon for an additional small dish on Tabelog, and I wanted some vinegared dish, so I ordered it. What came out was scallop simmered in soy sauce and mozuku seaweed vinegar with crab on top - two small dishes. I thought the scallops were from the coupon, and the mozuku vinegar was what I had ordered earlier. I was wondering where the appetizer was when I ordered the sushi, but then the beautifully presented vinegared dish arrived later! I panicked a bit, but the head chef's smile reassured me. Despite having a reservation, they carefully prepared the sushi for me. I had shrimp, flounder, salmon, Hokkaido crab, scallop, medium fatty tuna, abalone, sea urchin, ikura, tamago, and miso soup. I also added tobiko, umeshiso maki, and aji no tataki. They didn't have any blue fish due to the market being closed, but everything was delicious. I heard that the head chef at the Susukino branch of Hishida is an older brother type, while the one here is more like a younger brother, and the characters in their names reflect that - one in kanji and the other in hiragana. The head chef here mentioned, "I'm actually the better chef, you know," with a laugh. The food and drinks were plentiful, and the prices were reasonable.

Arrived at 6:00 p.m. on Sunday. Reservation for 2 people. 2 groups of customers before us, followed by 1 group and 1 person. Located in a residential area in Fukuzumi. Parking available in front of the store. Visited for my mother's birthday. It's been a while since I visited a non-conveyor belt sushi restaurant (laughs). Besides the owner, there was a female staff member who I initially thought was the mother but turned out to be the older sister... my mistake. Beer options were Asahi Super Dry in both draft and bottle. The appetizer was simmered tsubu and mozuku seaweed. Sushi prices for individual pieces were quite high, so we ordered the "Gingko" (2500 yen) for 2 people. It was mentioned that it would take some time, and it arrived in about 15 minutes. Miso soup was included. Although the rice portions were small, the quality was outstanding! The surf clam was the most delicious. The tamago (egg) was huge! The miso soup had wakame seaweed and green onions as toppings, and the broth was flavorful. Since we were not completely full, we ordered an additional "Octopus and Zangi Assortment" (850 yen). My mother ordered the "Fried Tofu" (600 yen). The restaurant also had a good selection of izakaya dishes, making it suitable for families. The octopus zangi and regular zangi were juicy, tender, and delicious! Overall, it was a satisfying meal. The small rice portions may be a point of contention, but it allows you to enjoy other menu items, which is a plus. The bill came out to be in the 7000 yen range for 2 people. Very affordable! Will definitely visit again!

The prices are a bit high but the quality is good. It's hard to tell the difference in grades of sushi from the menu, so it would be nice to have something that shows what's inside each item. The chef looks strict and intimidating, but the service was actually good and there was nothing to be afraid of.

After finishing watching a baseball game at the Sapporo Dome, I stopped by "Sushidokoro Hishida" to avoid the crowded subway on my way home. Despite entering alone, I was warmly welcomed with a smile. The restaurant is run by the master chef and his mother, creating a very cozy and homely atmosphere. I started with beer and some appetizers, and then had several pieces of sushi. Every dish was beautifully presented and delicious, showcasing the chef's skill and creativity. The flavors of the sushi were perfectly balanced, with the rice and toppings blending harmoniously. I tried the whale bacon, ankimo, assorted sashimi, akami, and shiromi, and even though I could only eat a little, I was impressed by the quality of the sushi. I ended up staying longer than planned because the atmosphere of the restaurant was so welcoming. Next time, I will make sure to have a full meal and enjoy it properly!

On the second day in Hokkaido, since it was Sunday and many places were not crowded, we chose this restaurant near Sapporo Dome. There were regular customers celebrating in the tatami room. My daughter was hungry, so we ordered sushi for her and some appetizers for me. The chawanmushi was sweet, and they told us that Hokkaido dishes tend to be on the sweeter side. The family running the restaurant shared various stories with us, and we were able to fully enjoy the sushi we wanted to try in Hokkaido, along with Hokkaido's local sake.

I was looking forward to seeing what kind of tenants would be in this building on my way to Sapporo Dome. When I noticed, it had become a splendid sushi restaurant. I wanted to eat sushi before watching the baseball game, so I stopped by. The lunch menu prices were very affordable and I was impressed. The sushi was delicious too. I keep thinking about going back, but I haven't had the chance yet, which is a shame. I think it's about time for the Fighters to start getting excited about winning, so celebrating with sushi might be a good idea.
