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.

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 of the red meat with TAKAHIKO's Pinot Noir. This pairing was truly exquisite, enhancing the umami of the tuna—what a perfect marriage! The sommelier at Miyakawa has exceptional taste, allowing us to enjoy unique pairings that can only be experienced here.【What We Enjoyed Tonight】(Appetizers)Corn Chawanmushi topped with Sea UrchinWhite Sweetfish, Kombu-cured and SearedSanma (Pacific Saury) with Water EggplantSweetfish and Red Eggplant TempuraSteamed Abalone with Liver SauceTomato with Sea Urchin(Sushi)New SquidMarinated Red MeatMeichi Sea BreamMarinated Chutoro (Medium Fatty Tuna)Small Horse MackerelSweet ShrimpBonitoSalmon RoeSea UrchinConger EelStaff Roll (additional)Egg Less
Experience the lingering flavors of Edomae sushi in Sapporo at Sushi Miyakawa.

Experience the lingering flavors of Edomae sushi in Sapporo at Sushi Miyakawa. I indulged in the omakase course here. ✨ Located in the Maruyama area, just a 5-minute walk from Nishi 28-chome Station, Sushi Miyakawa is a reservation-only establishment with a special atmosphere, featuring seven counter seats. It is one of Sapporo's top sushi restaurants, recognized with the Tabelog Award 2026 Silver and selected as one of the Sushi EAST 100 Best in 2025. This time, I enjoyed the omakase course. From the start, an impressive dish featuring sea urchin stood out. Its smooth texture was complemented by a rich sweetness, while the refreshing spiciness of wasabi brought everything together. The following sashimi of white fish and fish dishes paired with condiments showcased the true flavors of the ingredients. The fried dishes had a light texture without excessive batter. Ingredients like eggplant were cooked perfectly, allowing for a delightful contrast between the outer and inner textures. ✨ The plate featuring red fish, onions, and condiments, along with a seasonal small dish coated in jelly, provided a high level of satisfaction even before the nigiri. Finally, we moved on to the nigiri. In the photos, you can see squid, red fish, white fish, shrimp, kohada (gizzard shad), ikura (salmon roe), and sea urchin. Each piece of sushi was not just about size; the chef paid attention to the knife work, temperature, and seasoning, ensuring a harmonious balance with the rice. The red fish had a rich texture and umami typical of tuna. The white fish offered delicate sweetness, while the shrimp had a firm texture and deep sweetness. The ikura was glossy, bursting with flavor in my mouth. The famous sea urchin was also remarkable. Wrapped in seaweed, it was rich and creamy, yet left a clean aftertaste. Each piece showcased the quality of the ingredients. At Sushi Miyakawa, seafood sourced from producers nationwide is treated with care, and the rice is blended with three types of red vinegar. The course continued with a pressed sushi-like dish, followed by the final roll and a warm soup, creating a dynamic flow throughout the meal. Rather than flashy presentations, this sushi leaves you reflecting on how delicious it was after finishing. I truly understood the chef's aim for "sushi with a long-lasting aftertaste." For those looking to enjoy sushi on a special day in Sapporo, this is a must-visit gem. It was a great meal! ✨ Less
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 had the best sushi in Hokkaido.The omakase, featuring fresh seasonal ingredients, was truly delicious, and I was impressed with each piece.The hospitality of the chef and the atmosphere of the restaurant were also wonderful, allowing me to enjoy a special time.I definitely want to revisit this place the next time I come to Hokkaido.

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

When I sneakily tasted just the top sea urchin, I found the Yoichi one sweeter, but when eaten as sushi, the Rishiri one had a stronger umami flavor. It's amazing how different they are—both are top-notch!The sake kept disappearing quickly, next was Rokuju Yoshu.We had anago (conger eel), wrapped with cucumber, which was a luxurious treat for an anakyu.We also had red miso soup and tamagoyaki (Japanese omelet).Wow, I ate and drank so much!It was delicious, and I couldn't help but put my hands together in gratitude for such exquisite dishes.Thank you for the wonderful meal!Special thanks to the couple A for inviting me.Recommendation for personal sake cups:https://www.myguinomi.com Less

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 must say, I really enjoy fatty salmon.They also had sea urchin sushi from Rishiri, which I might not have seen at Miyakawa before.

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 seasoned up to 2 weeks which gives the great umami flavour.
Wonderful place to come, besides excellent food you get a great interaction with a very pleasant and humble professional at the height of his abilities. Less
