Sushi Watanabe sits in Chuo Ward, Sapporo, on the sixth floor of a building on Minami 6 Jōnishi. The restaurant serves what it calls Watanabe-style Ezomae-zushi, built around Hokkaido fish, with an emphasis on ingredients from the Dōtō region in the island's east.
The single course listed is priced at ¥25,300, tax and service included, and covers ten pieces of sushi plus a set of cooked dishes. The sushi is served in two rounds, an early set and a later set, rather than all at once. The rice is a blend of new and aged Yumepirika from Hokkaido, with the ratio adjusted four times a year by season.
Drinks lean toward pairing fish with alcohol: the list includes Hokkaido sake alongside selections of Japanese sake and wine from elsewhere. Beyond fish, the kitchen also makes some of its own components, such as house-made miso and preparations using Rausu kelp.
The restaurant is open seven days a week, with lunch service from 11:30 to 13:30 and dinner from 18:00 to 22:30. Reservations run through the restaurant's own booking page or by phone. Course pricing and structure should be confirmed directly with the restaurant before booking, since details can change with the seasonal menu.
