Sushi Ikko

Sapporo, Japan

Reputed to offer the best sushi in the port city of Sapporo, Ikko is the showcase for the perfectionism of Junya Kudo, a second-generation sushi chef who has transformed the family business into a pilgrimage site for seafood obsessives. A single counter of Japanese cypress that seats seven guests reflects the refined simplicity of the food to come, but while the presentation might seem plain, Kudo goes to extraordinary lengths to ensure the quality of what he serves, from spending time at sea to check where the fish is caught, to changing the order of courses on the omakase menu to reflect the seasonal eating habits and flavour of the fish he is serving. A dedicated sommelier matches the day’s catch to the ideal sake.
