The conveyor belt sushi restaurant Hakodate Isaribi, true to its name, boasts an abundance of seafood sourced from Hakodate in Southern Hokkaido. They directly ship a variety of marine products like live squid, sea urchin, fresh bluefin tuna, rockfish, and trout, serving them at peak freshness. We spoke with Hakodate Isaribi, known as the sister restaurant to the popular Erimo Misaki in Kikusui Motomachi, to uncover the secret to their deliciousness, their affordable 132 yen plates, and their special lunch sets that make enjoying sushi easy for everyone.

The conveyor belt sushi restaurant is attached to a supermarket. Perfect for a stop after grocery shopping.

The restaurant is located in Sapporo's Minami Ward, attached to a supermarket along National Route 230, bustling with a diverse clientele including local residents stopping by after shopping and tourists staying at nearby hotels. Among their prized toppings, the shellfish are particularly fresh as they are prepared only after an order is placed. Despite recent price hikes, they remain committed to their philosophy that "everyone should be able to enjoy sushi casually," offering a total of eight different menu items for just 132 yen per plate.

The "C Lunch: Hearty 10-Piece Set" for 792 yen. A diverse set including tuna, squid, seared herring, conger eel gunkan, and more.

A key highlight is their lunch menu, available every day, including weekends and holidays, from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM. There are four types of sets to choose from, including a colorful seafood rice bowl (kaisendon). All sets come with a shrimp-broth miso soup and are incredibly cost-effective, with prices starting from just 792 yen. Of course, they use the exact same high-quality toppings as their regular menu, so there's no compromise on quality.

The most popular set menu is the "Three Kinds of Northern Live Shellfish" for 638 yen, featuring live surf clam, live scallop, and live whelk.

Set menus that allow you to enjoy several types of toppings on one plate are also popular. The lineup is extensive, featuring assortments of blue-backed fish, fresh bluefin tuna, and various seared (aburi) items. They also offer classic conveyor belt sushi gunkan sets with toppings like shrimp mayo, crab salad, and tuna mayo.

Lake Shikotsu "Himemasu (Sockeye Salmon)" for 451 yen. It has a firm, thick texture and a rich umami flavor.

In addition to classic sushi, the menu features elaborate creations like seared live octopus served with salt and lemon, and marinated salmon cured in soy sauce and mirin. There are also plenty of unique options, such as juicy beef tongue nigiri and a gunkan-maki using shiokara (salted fermented seafood) shipped directly from Hakodate—all of them tempting.

They also offer alcoholic beverages, including a Dewar's Highball for a reasonable 451 yen. With a wide variety of à la carte dishes, enjoying "a drink at a sushi place" becomes even more delightful.

A top favorite among appetizers for drinks: "Fried Mozzarella Cheese" for 341 yen. The crispy texture and smooth cheese flavor are a perfect match.

"Mini Strawberry Parfait" for 638 yen. Despite being "mini," it's quite substantial and generously topped with fresh strawberries.

The side menu is also rich in desserts. It includes almond tofu, pudding, chocolate mousse, as well as soft-serve ice cream and parfaits. And to top it off, a post-meal coffee is only 110 yen! It's a genuinely flavorful coffee made from a blend of five types of beans, based on Guatemala and Mandheling. The ability to relax and spend time as if you were in a café is another charm of Hakodate Isaribi.
