I finally got to try Triton
I had always wanted to visit Triton, a famous conveyor belt sushi restaurant in Hokkaido. Finally, I had my chance.
I arrived at my hotel from the airport around 3 PM.
Thinking it wouldn’t be too crowded at this time, I decided to head to the nearest Triton branch, Triton Kita 8-Jo Kosei.
3-hour wait at the nearest location
I hopped in a taxi and told the driver my destination.
“Are you going to Triton?” the driver asked.
“There’s a 3-hour wait right now. Are you okay with that?”
Wait… 3 hours?! I had heard Triton was popular, but I didn’t expect such a long wait — especially at this time of day.
A helpful suggestion from the taxi driver
Just as I was about to give up, the driver made a suggestion.
“There’s another Triton a bit farther from here, but it’s usually not that crowded. Would you like to go there instead?”
I gladly accepted the offer.
Triton Maruyama: No wait at all
About 15 minutes later, we arrived at Triton Maruyama.
To my relief, the parking lot wasn’t too busy, and when I walked inside, there were several empty seats.
Sure enough — a 0-minute wait!
A delicious first visit
It was my first time at Triton, and the sushi was even better than I had imagined.
I ate to my heart’s content and left feeling completely satisfied.
Next time I visit Hokkaido, I’ll definitely go back.
If you’d like to enjoy Triton without the long wait, I highly recommend Triton Maruyama.
I’m truly grateful to the taxi driver who made this experience possible!
