Sushi Niebana sits in Sapporo's Chuo Ward, a three-minute walk from Susukino Station. The restaurant is built around a single eight-seat counter, with no table seating, putting every guest close to the preparation of each course.
The chef, Kazuo Ogura, trained primarily in Japanese and sushi restaurants before working abroad in Singapore and Germany. He later worked domestically in Niseko, Otaru, and Sapporo before opening this counter. The menu is Edomae-style sushi, and an English-language menu is available for non-Japanese-speaking guests.
Dinner is priced at roughly ¥28,000 per person, placing it in the upscale tier for the area. The restaurant is open nightly from 19:00 to 23:00, though it keeps irregular closures rather than a fixed weekly day off, so confirming ahead is advisable.
Reservations are handled through the Hitosara booking platform, and mentioning that you found the restaurant through Hitosara when calling or booking can help smooth the process. Given the small eight-seat format, advance booking is recommended, particularly for weekend dinners or larger parties. The counter-only layout and Edomae focus make this a straightforward, chef-facing sushi experience rather than a multi-room dining venue.
