What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

A sushi restaurant known as Otaru's best value, frequented by local fishermen and fishery cooperative members. Located in the Hanazono area away from tourist sushi streets, with prices from 649 yen described as unreasonably good value even by Otaru standards. Regulars arrive at opening on weekdays. Loved by local fishermen since 1987. TripAdvisor 4.4 rating.

The best value sushi in Otaru - the fact that fishermen come here is proof of quality. Even the 649-yen bowl has exceptional freshness. Genuine local pricing, not tourist rates. Regulars queue up before opening even on weekdays.
