The Restaurant

Satou is a small, traditional sushi-bar-style restaurant in the middle of Kutchan’s dining precinct. Chef Hirokazu Satou works the counter, his wife runs the kitchen and a single waitress serves the floor. There are about six counter seats, three tables and extra space upstairs.

The menu is sushi and sashimi with a small selection of other Japanese dishes. PowderLife says it was not widely known until Michelin highlighted it.

Good to Know

PowderLife lists Satou as a Michelin recommendation, based on earlier guides, so confirm current status. See Niseko for the area.
