Umi Hachikyo

We decided to pop by when they first opened at 6pm, testing our luck as we didn’t make a reservation. Luckily, there was a spare table by the bar which they offered us. I had a small bowl of salmon roe and salmon-sashimi, while my partner had the medium salmon roe bowl. The portions were huge and they were super generous with the salmon roe. It was such a fun experience and we felt so welcomed by all the staff. The seafood was fresh and so delicious, we will definitely be recommending this spot to family and friends.

Izakaya famous for their overflowing salmon roe with rice (ikura-don). No fishiness of the roe at all and their grilled mackerel was great too. Good atmosphere, as there is a performative component to the service of the roe. The staff will chant with each spoonful of ikura placed over the rice, served tableside.

Here for the experience and this place servessss. Please try the iconic salmon bowl and the Miso Mackerel!! Advisable to make reservation

Best place for salmon roe, not sure what they do but it tastes better than anywhere else I tried it. The grilled fish was fantastic. Would def recommend to try if you are ever in the area. The potato side was great too. Need to book in advance during Sapporo snow festival. Basically anything you order you won’t be disappointed. Thx for a fantastic experience. Skip dessert and go somewhere else. Not bad just not like their meal. Same as family mart ice cream.

The restaurant is popular, very atmospheric, staff are friendly, even we don't know Japanese, they look for translations for us to explain the menu and place orders. The most famous is the salmon roe rice, it served in 3 sizes - small, medium or large. We went for the medium to share each other. It’s impressive when serving, the staff makes a loud announcement then begin to ladle fresh salmon roe onto our bowl of rice. Each salmon roe is full and big, we are watching the salmon roe sliding down from the white rice, visual and taste are satisfied, the other foods are delicious, the price is reasonable but not particularly cheap. Better make reservation or you may not get a seat.

What a fantastic place. You walk in and feel like you're walking into a fisherman's shack. The staff are attentive and entertaining. Wait until they serve up the overflowing salmon roe and the excitement and theatrics that go with it. That said, the food is great and the fish is very fresh.

Amazing food and service! Staff were very accommodating and knew a fair bit of English which was super helpful. The English menu lacks a few items on the Japanese menu as some are only handwritten in Japanese so it's good to have both. We got the set which cost 4000 per person. A bit on the pricy side for the area but it was super filling and tasty! The staff also serve a dish with overpiling salmon roe and the chef staff do a little cheer when serving it which was a great experience, also in the set. Had a great time overall and would recommend!

Love the atmosphere and enthusiasm from the staff members! I got the ikura salmon bowl and as you may have read already, the servers chant loudly when they spoon in the salmon roe into your bowl. As for the taste, it was quite good, fresh seafood, however it was a *lot* of salmon roe so I sadly could not finish it. But, if you are an ikura fanatic, then definitely come here. Scallop sashimi was also really nice and sweet. I really enjoyed the enka music being played and the overall decor of the restaurant as well. I recommend sharing a large cooked seafood option, however, in order to make the prices worth it.
