What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

A 50+ year old authentic nigiri sushi counter in Hakodate's Omachi district, run single-handedly by the current master chef for 38 years. Just 7 counter seats, with each piece crafted individually. The premium set of 9 pieces (tuna, salmon, crab, scallop, shrimp, abalone, herring roe, uni) for 1,800 yen is shocking value. A true local gem beloved by Hakodate locals for generations. Also popular with GLAY fans. Google 4.7/262 reviews. Reservations required (may be closed without booking).

Google 4.7/262 reviews. TripAdvisor 4.9/21. A Retty reviewer with 1,000+ posts called it 'the best sushi I've ever had.' 'The premium set at 1,800 yen is exceptional value.' 'The master is refreshingly honest.' 'Always stop here when visiting Hakodate.' No PR or fake review concerns. Tabelog score is low (3.21/18) due to few registrations, but other platforms show overwhelmingly positive ratings.
