Every year, my friends from Honshu come to Sapporo in search of cool weather, but in recent years, Hokkaido has been experiencing unchanging heat as well. However, it seems to be quite pleasant for those from Honshu.With unanimous requests from everyone, we reserved the renowned Sushi Miyakawa for a private dining experience. At this King of Sushi, there was no shortage of summer delights. From appetizers to sushi, we were all thoroughly satisfied and delighted. A standout moment was the pairing... More

It was a great restaurant.Every sushi dish that came out was excellent. Both the customers and the staff had a wonderful vibe (perhaps I just visited on a good day). I've recently come to strongly feel that the atmosphere in which you enjoy delicious food is very important.The sea urchin, tuna, and white sea bream, along with the shrimp I ordered as an extra, were particularly good.The abalone sauce felt a bit lacking compared to the other dishes.The prices seemed reasonable for the quality offered.I...

Just a 3-minute walk from Maruyama Park Station, the unique atmosphere of Sushi Miyakawa features an L-shaped counter made of white wood with only 8 seats. The sushi here is truly the best in Hokkaido. The highlight is undoubtedly the sea urchin, where you can indulge in a luxurious tasting of different varieties and genders. The rice, blended with three types of red vinegar, pairs perfectly with the toppings, and the unforgettable experience of enjoying it with steamed abalone liver sauce is a must-try.... More

After watching a baseball game, I visited a private room at the restaurant. The appetizers included Bafun Uni, abalone liver sauce, and crabs from Uchiura Bay, all exquisite dishes that required great effort to prepare. As I enjoyed the recommended Japanese sake, I switched out my ochoko (sake cups) frequently. The sushi selection featured a remarkable lineup of locally sourced ingredients, with the medium fatty tuna, striped jack, torigai (bird clam), and Bafun Uni being particularly delicious.... More

I visited this restaurant with a reservation for 17 people.I had been curious about this place because of its high rating on Tabelog.The restaurant is beautifully designed.However, sushi restaurants have become quite expensive. On this occasion, we opted for the omakase course priced at JPY 32,000.The service was attentive, and everything we tried was delicious.

I visit Sushi Miyakawa almost every year, and this was my 9th time counting from before their relocation.Overall, the flavors are consistently good, but on this day, the simmered King Salmon (Daisuke) and the Hime Masu from Lake Kussharo were particularly excellent. I must say, I really enjoy fatty salmon.They also had sea urchin sushi from Rishiri, which I might not have seen at Miyakawa before. It was a high-quality sea urchin with no off-flavors.I truly savored the deliciousness of the red seabream... More

The atmosphere inside the restaurant is calm, and the sushi is served one piece at a time with great care over the counter. Rather than flashy presentation, the quality of the ingredients and the meticulous craftsmanship create a gradual sense of satisfaction with each piece.Each nigiri is beautifully crafted, with a perfect temperature and harmony with the rice that is truly exquisite. The umami of the toppings is well-balanced, not overpowering, and the acidity and texture of the rice complement... More

This is my 18th or 19th visit!As always, it’s incredibly delicious.It’s the season for tasty sea urchin.Both the purple and the bafun sea urchin from Yoichi were quite delicious.The liver sauce from the black abalone in Shimane had a different flavor profile compared to the Ezo abalone.And my favorite, the chips, are back in season.They are just as delicious as ever.I might even prefer the shrimp here the most; perhaps it’s because they are slightly undercooked.The tuna is still as delicious...

This was an outstanding experience in more than one way. The venue and atmosphere were perfect with the exception of a 'content creator' who couldn't stop taking videos of herself with a tripod. Otsumami had unique combinations, each dish evoking surprise and excitement. Really well balanced nigiri and choice of neta. What a great meal... he should have kicked that person though 😆

2nd visit to the three star sushiya. Chef Miyakawa produces outstanding otsumami starting with delightful soup with shirako. the journey continues with various sashimis, one of the them a double tuna from an animal of 149kg and another layer of a baby tune of 16kg. Interesting and very tasteful contrast and combination. For me the highlight of this section was the awari (Abalone) with a texture and taste which is hard to beat.

The is mildly seasoned, the size just right and airy. His betas are... More
