Hokkaido Sushi : Sushi Kantaro

Since Hokkaido is well-known for their seafood and my friend wanted to visit a kaitenzushi shop (sushi go round), we decided to visit Sushi Kantaro in Hakodate since it is a bay area and sushi kantaro is actually quite well-known there, having several branches in Hakodate itself. Sushi kantaro has a branch in Otaru, Sapporo airport and I think Osaka as well.

We visited the branch near Goryokaku Park and while the sushi weren't cheap cheap, it was value for money as in the sushi are really fresh and worth the price that they charged.



It was a fairly big outlet and it was empty when we went (we went at about 3pm) so there weren't any sushi going around the belt so we had to order (which is better actually, fresher somehow?) and the sushi chefs will ask us the amount of wasabi we want in our sushi so I thought it was a sweet gesture.

I ordered chawanmushi as well cos it's my fav and I am so glad that the ginnan (gingko nut) that was in the chawanmushi is the sweetest I have ever tasted. Loved it!
