Isezushi

Booked this place for lunch through JPNEazy. Great Omakase option for 9k Yen and the head chef was able to guide a Non-Japanese speaker on which fish was being served as well as being able to order a la carte and drinks. Just don't expect a full conversation in between cuts. Definitely worth the t...rip if you're in Otaru.

Fresh fish n uni n the sushi rice was a perfect balance of tangy n sweetness. Also the temperature of the sushi 🍣 was on point for a delicious bite. Price on the high side but worth it for the quality

We were recommended to try the sushi in Otaru and we weren’t disappointed. We booked using a booking app two places for lunch at the counter at Isezushi. We had the omakase menu. Our chef spoke a little English and could describe the sushi. Our meal includes 16 pieces of sushi which was served in 50... minutes! The meal was good in that the portions were not too large so we did not feel too heavy after the meal. The sushi was very fresh. The price was also much cheaper than an equivalent meal in Tokyo. Worth trying if you are in Otaru but book counter seats.

There are many sushi restaurants in Otaru, but here is truly extraordinary. If you love sushi and if you will visit this city, you should drop in this restaurant. Otherwise you will be sorry for it later. In this restaurant, depending on the situation, you can have a seat at the table or at the chef...’s table. Of course, you can order one by one, but I recommend some Omakase meals (a type of meal consisting of dishes selected by the chef) because you can enjoy seasonal specialty. Don't forget reservation in advance ! For your information, there is anothe Isezushi in Oratu train station named 'Isezushi Otaru Station Branch'. This is a stand-and-eat sushi bar. ＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

The sushi was very good! We had the nigiri set which came with 16 pieces of sushi. It was actually a very large and complete meal by itself. In hindsight we should not had order the additional starters dishes which 1. was too much food and we were struggling to finish the last few pieces of sushi? 2.... The starter dishes was very good too and I believe they distraught the taste buds and lessen the appreciation of the sushi set. It was a very popular restaurants and they were trying to maximize the turnaround. As such service was slightly rush. Staff spoke good English. It was a very good meal but it would have been an excellent one if we had only focus on the sushi and taken time to appreicate them at a slower pace.
