Hakodate Uni Murakami brings one of Hokkaido’s most trusted sea urchin experts to central Sapporo, offering a menu focused almost entirely on the quality and freshness of uni. Known for handling raw sea urchin without alum, the restaurant serves uni in its purest form—either as sashimi, over rice bowls, or incorporated into carefully crafted Japanese dishes that emphasize texture and sweetness rather than excess. Located in the basement of the Nippon Life Sapporo Building, the dining room maintains a calm, refined atmosphere suitable for business meals and thoughtful dining. Counter and table seating let guests concentrate on the ingredient itself, while a carefully selected sake list enhances pairings. For travelers looking for a serious uni experience rooted in Hakodate tradition, Uni Murakami remains one of Sapporo’s most dependable and respected spots.
