As its name suggests, the conveyor-belt sushi restaurant Hakodate Isaribi offers an abundance of seafood sourced from Hakodate in southern Hokkaido. A variety of seafood, including live squid, sea urchin, fresh bluefin tuna, soy, and trout, are delivered directly to the restaurant, ensuring the freshest possible selection. Known as a sister restaurant to the popular Kikusui Motomachi restaurant Erimo Misaki, Hakodate Isaribi shares the secret to its deliciousness, as well as its casual 132 yen plates and lunch sets.

The restaurant is located in a supermarket along National Route 230 in Minami-ku, Sapporo, and is bustling with a wide range of customers, from local residents who stop by while shopping to tourists staying at nearby hotels. Among their proud toppings, the shellfish in particular are extremely fresh, as they are filleted after an order is placed. Another point is that, despite the recent rise in prices, they offer a menu of eight types of sushi for 132 yen, as they "want everyone to enjoy sushi casually."

There are four different sets to choose from, including a colorful seafood bowl. All come with miso soup with a strong shrimp broth, and the prices start from 792 yen, making it an excellent value for money option. Of course, the ingredients are exactly the same as those on the regular menu, so the high quality remains unchanged.

The most popular set menu is the "Northern Live Shellfish 3-piece Set" which includes live surf clam, live scallop, and live whelk for 638 yen.

The set menus, which allow you to enjoy several different types of ingredients on one plate, are also popular. Sets include blue fish platters, fresh tuna, and various seared dishes. There is also a wide range of other items, such as the gunkan set, which is typical of conveyor belt sushi, with shrimp mayonnaise, crab salad, and tuna mayonnaise.

"Himemasu" from Lake Shikotsu, 451 yen. It has a firm, thick texture and a rich flavor.

In addition to the standard sushi, there are also many other carefully prepared toppings, such as grilled live octopus nigiri served with salt and lemon, and salmon marinated in soy sauce and mirin, but there are also plenty of unusual dishes, such as juicy beef tongue nigiri and gunkan (gunkan) made with salted fish delivered directly from the original Hakodate.

They also serve alcoholic beverages, with a Dewar's highball available at a reasonable price of 451 yen. They also have a wide selection of a la carte dishes, so having a drink at a sushi restaurant is sure to be even more enjoyable.

The most popular snack to go with alcohol is the "Mozzarella Cheese Tempura" for 341 yen. The crispy texture and smooth cheese flavor are exquisite.

"Strawberry Mini Parfait" 638 yen. Although it's a mini, it's still quite filling. It's topped with plenty of fresh strawberries.

The side menu also has a wide variety of sweets, including almond tofu, pudding, chocolate mousse, soft ice cream, and parfaits. And, after-meal coffee is only 110 yen! It's an authentic flavor, made with a blend of five types of beans, based on Guatemalan and Mandheling beans. While it's a sushi restaurant, Hakodate Isaribi's charm lies in the fact that you can spend your time relaxing like you're in a cafe.
