襟裳のつぶ貝。真つぶ。都市部で薄く切られた身が頼りないつぶではなく、肉厚で歯ごたえがあって、それでいてやわらかさもあるつぶ貝。もともと貝類は大好きで、鮑やミル、つぶ貝はそのコリコリした歯触りが最高だ。ホタテも甘く、やわらかい中で歯触りもあってこれも美味い。さすがに北海道。日本は島国でどこに行っても海の幸は美味いのだが、寒海系海鮮は北海道が先陣を切る。今夜は早仕舞いだそうで、つぶせいろまでは至らず刺...

Hachikyo is a local cuisine restaurant which uses carefully selected ingredients from all parts of Hokkaido and located only one minute walk from Susukino Station. The restaurant’s specialty is Tsukko Meshi, which is a bowl of rice covered with large amounts of salmon roe. As the staff pour the salmon roe over the rice they shout out “Oisah!”.

But it’s not just about the large amounts; they use only the best, most carefully selected salmon roe. The restaurant is decked out with ring buoys, fishing lamps, and fishing boat flags which give the characteristic feel of a banya, or simple lodging house used by fishermen.

Hokkaido Hakodateshi Wakamatsuchou 9-15 inside bowl alley

This izakaya (Japanese-style pub) is in the lively Donburi Yokocho Market (Hakodate morning market) just a two-minute walk away from Hakodate Station. Inside the shop live squid swim in tanks and their signature dish of live squid on rice, using the squid caught off the coast of Hakodate, is a huge hit. It’s a gem of a dish which is often highlighted by the mainstream media. The squid has a transparent body, and a sweet and crunchy texture, and whether it’s on a bed of rice or in your mouth it’s constantly moving about. You can taste the seasonal delights while you embrace the historic Hakodate air in the calm atmosphere of the restaurant.

Hokkaido Areas

Not just a prefecture but an island of its own, Hokkaido is the most northerly prefecture and island of the Japanese archipelago. Arriving in Hokkaido, which is rural and bursting with breathtaking nature, means entering a world where vast national parks, towering mountains, and natural hot springs can be found at every turn. Come December, these natural splendors freeze over and morph into a winter wonderland.
