Taka Zushi (鷹寿し)| Reasonable Sushi Bar | Otaru

I've found a very reasonable sushi bar in Otaru! "Taka Zushi (鷹寿し)" is near JR Minami Otaru Station.

This bar is not for tourists, but for local people.................

Look at the price tag! The most expensive sushi set is 2,000 yen only! Unbelievable!!!!

The rolled egg looks very delicious♪

Here comes a 2,000 yen sushi set show!!!

Surprisingly, the set includes chu tro (high quality tuna) caught off Hokkaido! Bluefin tuna is the king of tuna, right? Yummy x 2!!!

This scallop was caught off Otaru!

Actually it was still alive just before I ate it! I love very fresh seafood!!

This sushi has two northern pink shrimps!

Yummy x 2!!! This queen crab was caught off Hokkaido, too! The sushi chef always tries to use local ingredients for his sushi!

Do you believe that this 2,000 yen set also includes abalone???? Thank you, the chef!! It was caught off Otaru!

Hokkaido reminds a lot of people of Sakhalin surf clam! It is naturally sweet, and I love it!!

Don't expect posh soup!! This bar is a typical family-run sushi bar with homey atmosphere!! This miso soup is like the one my mother makes!

Please enjoy the crunchy texture! Herring season will start in Otaru very soon!

Here come roll sushi tree brothers; sea urchin, salmon roe, and flying fish roe!! Hahaha! I love this sea urchin especially! It is very fresh and tastes very ocean!

The chef: Do you want to eat more sushi?
Me: Yes!
The chef: Here you are!
Me: Thanks a lot!

Sprinkling lemon juice over the squid sushi, I appreciated his wonderful service!

The chef: Do you like scallop?
Me: I love it.
The chef: Here you are!
Me: Thanks, again!!

This fringe around scallop really suits beer! Hahaha!

I love this small but cozy sushi bar in Otaru! Again, the most expensive sushi set here is 2,000 yen only!!!
