Sushi delivery in Sapporo

With so many Michelin star restaurants, it might feel intimidating to order sushi delivery in Sapporo. Due to the cold ocean, Hokkaido boasts an abundance of high-quality seafood. As a result, the Great Wild North competes on par with Tokyo as Japan’s ultimate sushi destination. But you don’t need a special occasion to eat sushi in Sapporo. Casual restaurants with excellent sushi offer delivery and takeaway options for any night you crave seafood.

Sushi Delivery in Sapporo: Adventurous and Exclusive Tastes

Hokkaido’s claim to fame as Japan’s biggest food producer makes Sapporo an excellent place to try unique or hard-to-get dishes. When talking about sushi, that means neta-- the topping that rests on top of sushi rice. Due to its limited availability, Pacific herring rarely makes the ingredient list at most sushi restaurants. Hokkaido is one of the few places in Japan to find Pacific herring, so grabbing some in Sapporo is a must. For a daring meal, try tsubu. The sea snail thrives in cold waters, making it widely popular in Hokkaido and Tohoku. If you end up loving it, you can try more in some Vietnamese boiled shellfish (oc luoc xa) from one of Sapporo’s Vietnamese restaurants.

Hokkaido’s Feast From the Sea

If you want to stick to the classics, Hokkaido’s ocean bounty means anything you order will taste amazing. Cold water means fattier fish. It’s a common, cheaper topping, but the fatty salmon in Hokkaido waters make for tastier meat. As the salmon quality increases, so does the roe or ikura. Other common fish, like mackerel, also benefit from the location, making the tom yum at any Thai restaurant rich and delicious. And who can forget one of the top sushi delicacies: sea urchin. In Hokkaido, sea urchin, especially from Rishiri Island, is considered the number one luxury topping. So, next time you want to treat yourself, try some sea urchin (uni) sushi delivery in Sapporo.
