Otaru Masazushi Zenan

Otaru Masazushi Zenan is in a perfect location to have a view of Otaru canal, well known as a sightseeing spot in Otaru. This is one of the branches of a long-established sushi restaurant with more than 70 years of history. It is so famous that people are reminded of this restaurant if they hear the word "a sushi restaurant in Otaru." Chefs themselves go to markets and buy the best seafood on the day. It offers amazingly fresh seafood such as tuna bought as a whole, just caught shrimps, and sea urchin raised in ocean water. Besides, they care about matching between sushi and the drinks and so they have highly selected local Japanese sake in Otaru and around 80 kind of Awamori from Okinawa.

A plate to taste standard and popular sushi

We recommend Masazushi Gensen Nigiri (4,100 yen), a set of 11 standard and popular nigiri zushi. This is a popular menu to enjoy a jumbo fresh shrimp which has a soft texture and rich taste spreading in one's mouth, salmon roe, sea urchin, and a byword of Hokkaido's gourmet, a snow crab

Popular don with a gorgeous look

Not only nigiri-zushi but also seafood with rice bowls are very popular! Especially, we recommend Kaisen nidanju (2,880 yen), so to speak, it's a jewel box of seafood. This is a brilliant gem with salmon roe, sea urchin, tobikko are in the first bowl and tuna, sweet shrimp, squid, octopus, and conger are gorgeously put on the second bowl.
