Where to eat Sushi food in Hakodate: The Best Restaurants and Bars

August 9, 2020 Diedre Savory

Reviews on Sushi food in Hakodate, Hokkaido, Japan. Even if you can't be in Hakodate to see the cherry blossoms in May, you'll fall in love with the sunset views from Mount Hakodate. Surrounded by the ocean, it's no wonder Hakodate is known for fresh seafood. If you're up early, have domburi for breakfast at a restaurant in the Morning Market by Hakodate Station.

The sushi here are superb, fresh and cheap. The chef would be able to recommend you the best of the day for you. The store is small but cosy. I highly recommend this shop than others in the same building.

Although this was some of the best sushi I have ever had, it wasn't the whole experience. This traditional, family run establishment makes you feel like you went back 20 - 30 years. We could not help but get the feeling that the way things are done at this restaurant has not changed for decades.Even though we do not speak the language, the chef and hosts were incredibly warm and attentive. With only 8 seats if you do not count the area in the back where the chef's grandchildren were hanging out, this place is the very opposite of what represents most urban culinary scenes today (big brands and chains, assembly line cooking, huge line ups etc.).Even though everyone's got a different preference / standard about what good sushi is, it was clear from every bite that top notch ingredients were used all the way around. Just an incredible experience. I will definitely be back the next time I drop by Hakodate.

Centrally located for quick drink or casual meeting venue. The restaurant cum pub offers variety of cuisines either sushi, seafood, or steak. During our visit, we saw housewife gather for drink and dinner. Tourists wandering-in due to its location. There were 5 of us and were able to order various dishes in order to share. Sitting on the counter bar at the entrance allowed us to enjoy the foods and fast services. The only problem is the smoking policy which is still permit.

I love sushi, I'm Japanese, and I'm originally from Hakodate.This place serve the best sushi in Hakodate- hands down!If you are used to over seas quality sushi prices- you will find this place affordable.Lunch starts at 2500 yen (about US $25) and Dinner around 150 USD for the top quality sushi!! So worth it!Sit at the sushi bar unless you are a group.Oh but you can't take pictures of the sushi at the sushi bar as camera is not allowed at all.Sushi chief explains how each piece is best eaten and where the fish is from.Reservation is highly recommended to prevent your disappointment!!You can use credit cards!I can't wait to go back again ASAP!

Love the live Octopus. They catch your order of octopus from the tank in front of you, clean them and serve while it is still moving. I never taste octopus that fresh and tasty. Seafood pot is great and service is excellent even they do not have english menu nor speaks english.

This restaurant offers excellent quality sushi and other dishes in a nice atmosphere. The staff is very friendly and speaks English. The uni with some sort of noodles was outstanding.The Tripadvisor map in English does not show the accurate location, the restaurant is on Daimon Naka Dori. You can enter "はこだて鮨金総本店" into Google Map and it will take you where you should. These are the approximate coordinates: 41.772641, 140.730487

Kantaro Ugaura Honten

Reviewed By poopshooter

Found this place by chance looking for an authentic kaiten style sushi. Located by the sea side with a great view. Parking is available. Crowded during peak times so expect 30 to 50 minutes wait. There are table & sushi bar seating. Prices are reasonable for fresh & high quality sushi. Service is friendly & quick. Some language gaps but manageable.We sat facing the itamae (sushi chefs). Just point to the menu when ordering & they make it fresh. Or take from the conveyor belt which has the popular items. The seafood were really fresh & oh so good. Look out for the platter items on the menu. You get better choices like trio of fish egg or trio of tuna cuts. Able to try more. Prices are denoted by the plate's color ranging from 150 to 550Â¥ if not mistaken. Green tea is complimentary. Once you are done the wait staff will calculate the total & just head to the cashier to settle your bill.Highly recommended. It was a great dinner. Happy we found this place. Will surely return if we visit Hakodate again.

Kaikobo is a great seafood restaurant is located in the Asaichi - morning-market area. We had a cod tempura dish, hairy crab, oysters, salad, salmon and salmon egg omisubi (rice ball). They also served a tasty appetizer of smoked scallops and egg roll on kelp (kazunoko). All of the dishes were absolutely delicious. We will definitely make a return trip to the restaurant the next time we’re in Hakodate.

Reviewed By KieranWee

The food is superb and very reasonably priced. Trust me when I say pricing is reasonable. Unlike some comments I read about how pricy it is etc, probably they are expecting $1 sushi, well I don’t think they have that in Japan.For the quality you are getting at this place, the pricing totally reasonably. 3 pax total about SGD$40. Freshness in the sushi brings out the sweetness as well for the sashimi.You can tell the waiter that you want sashimi and not sushi and the chef will do it for youEnglish menu available.Have fun !
