Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan｜匠鮨

Picked this place at random near my hotel. I went in at 5pm, right about as it opened after being closed for the usual odd break Japanese restaurants do. It was just me, the waiter and the chef. The waiter was a young guy from Kyushu, where I live, and spoke good English, so we got along really well. They asked me if I wasn't able to eat anything in particular right off the bat, which is nice to consider, probably because I'm a foreigner. I don't like shrimp, not an allergy thing, so they were happy to replace the shrimp sushi in the set I had (Fuji) with something else! They suggested I try some local specialties, and I had the absolute misfortune to try shirako. I'm sure its probably the height of cuisine to some others, but for me, it was the most vile thing I've ever ate, haha! Don't let that put you off the place though. As long as that young guys there, you'll have a swell time chatting about all sorts, scoffing down sushi, trying many new things you might not be used to.

Sushi is of good value for its price. Can not communicate well in English but there is English menu.

Hidden gem Sushi restaurant. Very reasonable price but the quality is excellent.
