Nagoyakatei is a conveyor-belt sushi restaurant that originated in Kushiro City in eastern Hokkaido, known as one of the best fishing grounds in Japan. With nine conveyor-belt sushi restaurants in Sapporo, it is one of the best conveyor-belt sushi restaurants in Hokkaido. The Hassamu restaurant we visited this time is the first Sapporo restaurant, which opened in 1997. Fresh fish is purchased from the Sapporo Outside Market every morning and is prepped as soon as it arrives. The fresh fish is prepped as soon as it arrives, and is frequently cut while the restaurant is open to minimize the loss of freshness as much as possible.

The interior is richly decorated with an elaborate design using an abundance of wood.

The quality of the fish, as well as the quality of the seaweed and the rice, is second to none at a counter sushi restaurant. We want the act of eating sushi to be a special time for you, so we also put a lot of effort into creating the space. Enjoy the sight" and "enjoy the space" are the themes of Nagoyakatei.

Artworks by the artist are displayed throughout the restaurant.

Spilled salmon roe" 1,155 yen. A generous portion of salmon roe from local Kushiro salmon roe is served on a platter.

The symbol of Nagoyakatei is, above all, the salmon roe gunkan (salmon roe). When ordered, the entire restaurant welcomes you with bells and drums. The salmon roe is three times larger than the amount of sushi, and it covers two pieces of sushi. The dynamic dish and performance are favored by both children and adults.

In the bustling restaurant, the salmon roe is being served in a steady stream.

Sushi-ya's pickled tuna" 506 yen. The flavor of the sauce and the fresh stimulation of the wasabi are a perfect match.

The extensive menu includes more than 150 dishes, including side dishes. The marinated tuna, with its concentrated umami flavor, has an exquisite moist texture. Fresh scallops from Hokkaido are favored for their concentrated texture and sweetness, as well as their plump texture.

Fresh scallops" 506 yen. Large pieces of meat are served on top of rice.

Tsubasa no saba (winged mackerel) 506 yen. Enjoy the rich fatty flavor.

Nagoyakatei has a dedicated fishing ground in Higashi-machi, Kagoshima Prefecture, where it grows "Tsubasa no saba" (winged mackerel). It is a popular product with plenty of fat and a smooth texture. Another specialty is the crab soup filled with Nemuro Hanasaki crabs. The flavor of the dashi broth and the umami of the crab ooze out, making it a perfect accompaniment to sushi.

Sushi-ya no Hanasaki Kani-jiru (Sushi Restaurant's Hanasaki Crab Soup): 506 yen. A special fork for eating the crab meat is included.

The colorful ingredients stimulate your appetite even more.

We are also thoroughly particular about the rice, which is indispensable for sushi. Every year when the rice is newly harvested, we compare different brands. From there, we blend the most suitable for our restaurant's taste. We are proud to serve the best quality rice by adjusting the amount of water and steaming time during the cooking process according to the season. Nori (seaweed) is grown in a prime location on the Ariake Sea in Saga Prefecture. Its rich aroma and vivid color add to the appeal of sushi.

Prices include tax. Prices are subject to change depending on availability.
