Sushi Shota is a counter-only Edomae sushi restaurant in Sapporo's Chuo Ward, opened in December 2022 by chef Shota Oda. Oda trained for sixteen years before opening his own shop: five years at Ginza Kyubey, three years at Sushi Kanesaka, and five years as head chef at Sushi Tokami.
The kitchen sources fish daily from both Tokyo's Toyosu market and Hokkaido producers, choosing between the two depending on species and condition. Rice comes from a specially sourced large-grain Yumepirika variety grown in Rankoshi, Hokkaido, with the vinegar blend and moisture content adjusted by season. The stated aim is to serve authentic Edomae-style work using Hokkaido's local ingredients.
The restaurant is located underground, in the basement annex of the Shikishima Plaza Building, a one-minute walk from Exit 9 of the Sapporo Ekimae-dori underground walkway. It is open for dinner most weekdays from 18:00 to 23:00, with Wednesday and Saturday also open from noon; the restaurant is closed on Sundays.
Reservations are handled through Omakase.in or by phone. The restaurant falls into the upscale price tier and operates on a counter-only format typical of Edomae sushi-ya, where the chef serves each guest directly.
