This is one of the branch sushi restaurants of "Tsukiji Kiyomura Sushi-Zanmai" located next to the JR East Utsunomiya Station (West Exit side). Although Tochigi-ken, where Utsunomiya is the prefectural capital, has no sea, with its Tsukiji Connection, the restaurant serves excellent and fresh fish and sushi menus.The owner of the restaurant chain is known for buying the best and most exclusive (thus expensive) tuna fish in the first tuna fish auction in the beginning of each year; in 2012 he spent over Euro one million for a tuna fish! His enthusiasm for serving best quality tuna fish is well known and appreciated among the Customers.Here the menu offers photo for most of the selections; they do understand some basic English as well. So being a non-Japanese customer one will have less problems for choosing what he/she want to eat. Day's Specials are on the wall but for this you need to read Japanese; this said one should ask chef/hall staff. Staff as well as chef are kind and helpful!Best way to enjoy the food here is to find a seat on a counter, facing to the chef, and choose what you want to try from the display case in front of you. One can enjoy either sashimi or nigiri(sushi). Here one should not fail to try good "tuna" - be it fatty tuna, or medium fatty tuna or simple red meat tuna; depending on type of tuna fish, one can really enjoy delicate and yet powerful tuna taste.There are other menu selections you can find in other places - if you like you can go for them. There are some menu which are not in the menu on the table so if you have any special wish, do ask (but nicely!)For a business dinner there is a semi closed area with four tables (seat max 16 persons).Last but not least, although this restaurant is not extravagant, this is a sushi restaurant and can be pricey. Normally one should look at Euro 65 - 100 per person including drinks.

Uncle took us to Sushi hanatei for some late night food. Plates of various sushi, sashimi and tempura etc. pass your table on a conveyor belt. You choose your food and the waitress scans the number/color of the plates to add up your bill. It's great food but it's not cheap. Bring your wallet!
