Sushi Saikou is a counter-only restaurant in Sapporo's Chuo Ward, seating ten guests around a single bar where chef Nishimaki Mitsuhiro (西牧光浩) prepares each course. The dinner omakase runs seven courses—starter, sashimi, nigiri, a special dish, chawanmushi, soup, and dessert—for ¥22,000, tax included. As of April 2026, a 10% service charge is added to all prices.
Beyond the standard omakase, the restaurant offers a late-seating course at 21:00 for ¥15,000, which includes thirteen pieces of nigiri along with chawanmushi and soup. Lunch is served only on Saturdays, with two set menus: a ¥12,000 course of thirteen nigiri pieces, chawanmushi, and soup, and a ¥10,000 course of ten nigiri pieces with soup.
Ingredients are sourced with attention to Hokkaido origin. Rice comes from Rankoshi, tuna is caught in the Tsugaru Strait and landed at Hakodate's Toi fishing port, and the egg used in the restaurant's chawanmushi comes from Ota Farm in Ebetsu. Tableware is largely the work of Sapporo ceramicist Shimozawa Toshiya.
The restaurant is closed on Sundays and public holidays. Dinner service runs from 17:30 to 23:00 on the days it is open, while lunch is limited to Saturday from 11:00 to 13:00. Reservations can be made through the restaurant's website or by phone.
