Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan｜鮨 草平

Came here for a late dinner and received a private dining experience with only two of us on a Monday evening. Without much choice, the wait staff and the chef gave us 100% of their attention. 5 star for service, another 5 for atmosphere. The food was special. Beyond simply chasing the freshest and expensive fish and ingredients, the techniques used to prepare the fish were rare, like vacuum aging fish and poached salmon roe. The thought put into elevating the taste, texture and aroma of the food deserves 5 stars.

We had an incredible dinner expertly prepared by the masterful chef matsukura, using the best and freshest ingredients possible. He and his staff were also really hospitable and he made it a point to have intimate conversations with his guests, which we enjoyed very much. Do yourself a favour and make a reservation when you're in Sapporo, you won't regret it!

Must try. It is new yet absolutely authentic. Master chef was indeed talented and you would be amazed magic of ‘nigiri’. Hurry before it is known!!!
