Sushi Minato

In the downtown area of Asahikawa, 3-jo-dori 7-chome, “Sushi Minato” quietly hangs a curtain.

It is known as a special space where you can enjoy the skills and philosophy of the general with all five senses, and is truly worthy of being called a “sushi theater”.

Its ability is evident from the fact that it was evaluated as a “one star” in the Michelin Guide Hokkaido 2017 special edition. It is not an exaggeration to say that gourmets from all over the country come to Asahikawa in search of a consistency of this restaurant.

The interior of the store has a dignified atmosphere, and the white wooden counter plays a leading role. The menu is only “omakase course”. (When using the counter)

The customer just sits in his seat and surrenders to the work of the general that is about to unfold.

It is said that the essence of “Sushi Minato” lies in its thorough “Edo-mae work”.

The ingredients are mainly from Hokkaido, and the best condition of the day is carefully selected from fishing ports across the country.
By applying the best ingredients to the meticulous work that has been passed down since ancient times, such as pickling, pickling, and laying, the original flavor of the fish is brought out to the limit.

Shari (vinegared rice) is also an important actor in this theater.

The hardness and temperature calculated to melt in your mouth, as well as the exquisite vinegar to create a sense of unity with the ingredients, are reputed to be truly craftsmanship.

The course begins with a gem of “snacking” made with seasonal ingredients.

A blissful time with a drink in hand and the anticipation of the nigiri that is about to begin.

And the nigiri that is served to the fullest is the climax.

The consistency created by the captain’s lean and beautiful gestures is brought to his mouth at the best time.
This repetition invites visitors to the deep world of sushi.

This is a place to spend a special time with your loved ones. Rather than enjoying a lively conversation, it is a space to quietly face the consistency in front of you.

Of course, “reservation required”. From the moment you call to make a reservation, the story of “Sushi Minato” may have begun.
