Nemuro Hanamaru

Nemuro Hanamaru serves Hokkaido-sourced sushi at JR Shinbashi Station, just outside the north ticket gate. This branch is a standing-only spot, with a counter where you can watch the chefs prepare each order. Choose salmon, premium tuna or scallops, or pick sushi from the kaiten, or rotating-belt, selection. It’s a lively, more affordable way to enjoy fresh seafood than a high-end sushi restaurant, and the quick, hands-on format can work well for a family meal. Expect a crowd at busy times.

Sushi from Hokkaido at Shinbashi Station

Nemuro Hanamaru is a sushi chain from Hokkaido, with seafood shipped from its home region. The Shinbashi branch is outside the north ticket gate at JR East Shinbashi Station, making it a convenient stop if you are passing through the station.

This location is standing-only. The counter gives you a close view of the chefs preparing sushi, and the service is known for its teamwork and pace. The format keeps a meal informal: choose sushi from the kaiten selection or engage with the chefs at the counter.

What to order

Salmon, premium tuna and scallops are popular picks. Miso soup, green tea and sake are also on the menu. The seafood focus comes from Nemuro, a fishing town in Hokkaido, and the chain’s menu includes local seafood alongside newer creations.

Kaitenzushi, or rotating-belt sushi, lets you select plates as they pass. It can be an easy option for families, since children can watch the sushi go around and choose what they want. If you are visiting during a busy period, allow for a possible wait; quieter hours are a better choice.
