Located just a 5-minute walk from Maruyama Park Station, I visited "Sushi Sohei" at 1F Ebisu Building, 28-1-10 Minami 2-jo Nishi, Chuo-ku, Sapporo.Sushi Sohei opened in July 2022 and has established itself as a popular sushi restaurant in Sapporo. This was my first visit since its opening four years ago.The owner, Shohei Matsukura, is a globally experienced sushi chef who has trained at various sushi establishments in Tokyo and Hawaii.While I expected a mix of appetizers and nigiri due to its lineage from sushi masters, the meal was beautifully structured with appetizers in the first half and nigiri in the second half.For the nigiri, both white and red rice were used depending on the topping. The tuna was paired with a distinct red rice made with red vinegar, while other toppings sourced mainly from Hokkaido were served with white rice.Both types of rice had a nice texture and were slightly firm, with careful adjustments made to temperature and aging for each topping.The two-color gunkan sushi featuring Yoichi sea urchin and Kombu-mori sea urchin was exceptional.Additionally, the "Ohagi" and "Ankimo Watermelon" inherited from sushi masters were also available!About 80% of the ingredients were sourced from Hokkaido, showcasing local fish with Edomae techniques, making it a wonderful restaurant.It was a great meal.*Photos of appetizers are not allowed, so only nigiri photos are included.*Total bill: JPY 38,000 for one person【Omakase Course JPY 33,000, tax included】- Chilled Ankimo Chawanmushi- Hirame from Shakotan- Katsuo- Ezo Abalone- Liver Sauce Risotto- Water Octopus and Okra Somen- Menuki and Manganji Pepper- Hokkigai, Junzai, Jade Eggplant, Tosa Vinegar- Shiroika- Arai- Donchicchi Horse Mackerel- Kinki- Medium Fatty Tuna- Fatty Tuna- Yam Gobo and Pickled Zha Cai- Clam Dashi- Herring- Yoichi Sea Urchin and Kombu-mori Sea Urchin- Kuruma Ebi- Tamago- Aosa Miso Soup(Additional)- Ohagi- Ankimo Watermelon
