Otaru Sushi Street
小樽寿司屋通り
A sushi street between Otaru Station and the canal, with about twenty sushi restaurants serving Edomae-style sushi made with seafood caught nearby.
Otaru Sushi Street lies in the Garden district between Otaru Station and the canal. About twenty sushi restaurants line the streets, ranging from long-established shops to budget eateries. Otaru is close to the fishing grounds of Shakotan and Ishikari Bay, so sea urchin in summer, yellowtail in winter, botan shrimp and salmon roe are all very fresh. Many shops offer an “Otaru nigiri sushi set” of more than ten pieces, priced from a few thousand to tens of thousands of yen. Most restaurants begin lunch service around 11:00 and dinner service around 17:00. Some shops close on Wednesdays, and popular places are best booked in advance. It is about a 10-minute walk from JR Otaru Station.
