Maru Sushi sits on the ground floor of a building in Minami 6 Jōnishi, Chuo Ward, Sapporo, within the Susukino district. It is a counter-only restaurant built around a neta case that displays the day's selection, mixing Hokkaido seafood with ingredients from outside the prefecture to give both local and visiting guests a sense of Edomae sushi.
The restaurant is family-run, now in its second generation; the current chef trained at Ginza Kozasa sushi before returning to Sapporo. The shop's stated aim is a balance between fixed technique and seasonal change, served in a counter setting meant to encourage conversation between chef and guest.
Maru Sushi falls into the luxury price tier and takes reservations by phone only, at 011-552-6266. Lunch service runs from 12:00 on Tuesday through Saturday and requires booking at least two days in advance; dinner service runs from 18:00 to 21:00 Monday through Saturday. The restaurant is closed on Sundays and public holidays.
Given the counter format and the two-day lead time on lunch bookings, walk-ins are not a realistic option. Anyone planning a visit should call ahead, confirm seating for the date and time desired, and check current holiday closures directly with the restaurant, since holiday schedules can shift year to year.
