Going through a fine-dining course of Sushi meal is like enjoying a story as the chef delicately and expertly create a series of mouth watering bite-sized sushi. Chef demonstrated deep knowledge about his sources of seafood for the sushi, and how the soya sauce was mixed with red and white vinegar for a better taste in complimenting the choice of seafood. Every bite unleashed as sense of seafood freshness. By the end of the course, most of us were asking for extra portions of our favourite type of sushi. We thought that we would receive an exorbitant bill at the end of the meal but thankfully, it was actually very reasonable. A very good satisfying meal indeed.

Recommended by the hotel staffs!From JR station, walks down the main road and turn right at the junction of Lawson.The Sushi was great and the price was reasonable.Go for the 15 pcs Sushi for about 2700 Yen. in a nice presentation.Suggest you go there before they open and join the line outside.Otherwise, you may not know how long you need to wait to get a seat.

Waraku, Otaru

Reviewed By sushi2008Calgary

It’s a busy place, and there’s alway long wait. Sushi was cheap but quality was not great at all. This type of sushi (sitting on the belt running around the restaurant) is the worst type. Deep fried octopus was super chewy and super greasy. Raw fish wasn’t fresh. The shellfish looked dry after sitting on the belt running around several times. If one is looking for cheap sushi, this is the place, otherwise, pay more for better quality of food. Not recommend this type of sushi or this place at all. Preference is quality.

Hardly finds an ordinary Sushi restaurant at home that strikes this fast food sushi.What strikes one first is the freshest products,As always, a conveyor belt sushi restaurant gives all tastes the chance to try out for a small amount of money.One or two small unorthodox creation also pass in review.

Great value and good food. This really says it all. Very impressed when I got what I saw from the photo menu, its almost identical. The portion was bigger than what I expected with lots of sashimi. Again great value The food was fresh, delicious and what I wanted. Flexible menu where you get to choose 3 or 4 combination of sashimi toppings then choose either normal or large size. Easy. There are other predefined set too but everything is on the picture menu or on the way. Highly recommended.

This Sushi restaurant offers fine Sushi course at affordable price. This place was listed on micheline restaurant guide book a few years ago. very popular Sushi place in Otaru. You must make reservation before you come to Otaru. 北海道に詳しい友人のお勧めで1ヶ月前に事前に予約して伺いました。べビ連れだったので半個室にお席をご用意頂きました。子連れでカウンターはやっぱり難しいですが、高品質な本物の寿司店が子どもOKな時点で有り難いです。しっかりと仕事をしたネタを3皿に分けて魚→貝と甲殻類→軍艦巻きとストーリー仕立てで出して頂けて美味しいお鮨を堪能できました。
