From Hokkaido to Saigon

Hokkaido — Japan's northernmost island, where cold currents bring in the country's freshest seafood.

The seas around Hokkaido stay cold all year — and that cold raises its famous specialties: fatty salmon, sweet scallops, plump salmon roe, firm snow crab. As the Japanese say: to know how good sushi can be, look north.

Sachi sets that kitchen on level 5 of Saigon Centre, in the heart of District 1. The room follows the northern spirit: white, bright, airy — pale birch, frosted glass, clean lines. Prices sit in the midrange, right for office lunches and family dinners alike.

The menu turns on sushi and sashimi: salmon nigiri, Hokkaido scallops, assorted sets and seafood rice bowls. The house has published no official price list — dishes on this site are listed by name, and you can ask prices at the counter.
