About this spot
Otarutei Honten Sushitei is one of Sapporo Station's top sushi spots. Whether it's a conveyor belt joint or an omakase counter, you're getting fish that was at the market this morning.
💡 Tips before you go
- At conveyor belt (kaiten) sushi, just grab what looks good. At counter sushi, say "omakase" to let the chef choose.
- Ginger is a palate cleanser between pieces, not a topping.
- It's OK to eat with your hands — many sushi purists prefer it.

Do I need to speak Japanese?
There's no English menu at most places, but don't let that stop you. Most dishes have photos on the menu or plastic models in the window, and pointing works perfectly.
