Kukizen - Otaru

Very friendly staff and excellent nigiri omakase experience for 5000 yen (12 pieces) for lunch. Walked in at 1130 when the restaurant opened without a reservation on a Wed. Missed one photo of the Chu Toro but caught the rest in the photos attached. Uni were firm to touch and creamy in the mouth. Saba did not taste fishy at all. All indicators that the fish is very very fresh.

I ordered the lunch set at 5000 yen otoro nigiri and it was magnificent. The service was superb and the taste is so good the otoro literally melt in my mouth. Definitely worth the price.

Extremely cheap price but premium quality omakase. around 5000 yen per head

Reservation required. It's quite quiet, so it's good to enjoy its original taste. Fast sushi delivery.

I came for the Michelin 2 Star recognition. We were the first batch of customers to walk in by 11:00, without reservation we were seated in the private room instead of the sushi bar that I would much preferred. A set menu with 12 sushi at chef’s selection were served. Fish and seafood were deliciously prepared, however I found sushi rice to be a bit tough for my liking. Miso soup was nice and in the lighter side of the miso taste. Overall nice and good value for a 2 star.
