Sushi Terada occupies a single counter of eight seats on the second floor of a building near Minami 3 Jonishi in Sapporo's Chuo Ward. Chef Tadayoshi Terada trained at Otaru Masazushi's Susukino branch before opening his own counter when that restaurant relocated, and he works the room himself, seat by seat.
The main course runs 18,000 yen and is built to leave diners full: three appetizers, thirteen pieces of nigiri, then a closing sequence of three types of hosomaki and tamagoyaki that continues until the day's ingredients are used up. A second, shorter course at 14,000 yen runs about an hour and is positioned for business meals or a more compact visit. Both draw on Hokkaido's seafood.
The restaurant is open nightly from 17:00 to 23:00, with irregular closures, so calling ahead to confirm a given date is standard practice here. With only eight counter seats and no other seating area, reservations are essential and same-day availability is limited.
The space is counter-only and described as English-friendly, which along with the moderate price tier makes it accessible to visitors as well as locals. Contact is by phone or through the restaurant's website; social accounts on Instagram and Facebook are also listed for reference before booking.
