About the Restaurant

After the slopes, a table full of Hokkaido's sea

USHIO, meaning "tide", is SIVANNA's seafood restaurant in Niseko Hirafu. We follow the seasons and the tides to choose our seafood, serving sashimi, grilled dishes and seafood hot pots. Tuna, scallop, surf clam, sweet shrimp and sea urchin, the classic flavours of Hokkaido, are all here in one place.

The dining room is bright, with tall windows and shoji-style screens. Wooden tables can be joined to fit your group, from a quiet drink for two to a family dinner or an end-of-day feast for the whole ski crew. We stay open until midnight, so there is no rush after night skiing.
