Kin Sushi occupies a corner of Chuo Ward near Sapporo's North 2 East 7 intersection, a sushi-ya tracing its history back to 1934. The restaurant is run by chef Imai Tsutomu, a Sapporo native born in 1965, who works the 12-seat counter alongside a dining room that brings total seating to 32.
The menu centers on Edomae-style nigiri, available either à la carte or as an okimari set chosen by the chef. For diners seeking the counter experience, omakase courses come in three lengths — 12, 14, or 16 pieces — with other requests accommodated on a case-by-case basis. The drinks list includes beer, sake, shochu, sparkling wine, oolong tea, and juice.
Kin Sushi serves lunch and dinner Monday through Saturday, from noon to 8 p.m., and is closed on Sundays. Reservations are taken by phone, and the restaurant accepts credit cards, so cash is not required. As with many long-running sushi-ya, hours and pricing are subject to change, so calling ahead before a visit is advisable.
