Hokkaido Kushiro-shi Sakaemachi 6-2

Located a one-hour drive from Kushiro Airport, this restaurant serves local cuisine and has a subdued, traditional Japanese exterior. The restaurant has a high class atmosphere and serves the kind of refined Japanese cuisine you'll particularly want to enjoy on a clear, sunny day. The restaurant's signature dish is its whole king crab served in its own vivid, scarlet shell. Compared with other types of crab, the meat of a hearty boiled blue king crab has a sweet and rich flavor. Many customers choose to enjoy it garnished with sanbaizu (equal parts vinegar, soy sauce, and mirin), the juice of a sudachi citrus fruit, and salt. Replete with private dining areas and a large room capable of hosting groups, the establishment can be used for banquets, get-togethers, and all manner of engagements.

Hokkaido Akkeshi-gun Akkeshicho Shirahama 1-60

This restaurant is located inside Kakuichi Baba shop, a fresh seafood broker and wholesaler for the Akkeshi region. The homey interior is the perfect place to enjoy fresh seafood meal. Rather than tricky charcoal grilling, this shop stands out for its use of griddle steaming. They offer highly fresh and juicy oysters, scallops, clams, and whelks as well. Their Crab Fried Rice and Seafood Ramen, which were once back-kitchen dishes for staff-only but are now on the regular menu, are big hits.

昼食でカキフライ定食や蒸し牡蠣をいただきました。カキフライの牡蠣ひとつひとつが大きくてジューシーでとてもおいしかったです。でもお値段は1300円とちょっとだけ高い気がしました。

Hokkaido Ishikari-shi Shinmachi 1

"Ishikari nabe, a local dish made with salmon, trout, and plenty of vegetables, is said to have originated in a long-established restaurant that was founded in 1880 and offers a variety of local dishes using salmon, which is said to have ""absolutely nothing to throw away. The building that has been used since the restaurant's establishment still exhibits old household utensils and posters, making the restaurant feel more like a museum than a restaurant."

Hokkaido Chitose-shi Shikotsukonsen

"This restaurant is located in the shopping street alongside Lake Shikotsu, the northernmost non-freezing lake in Japan. It is famous for its reputation as a place where customers can enjoy ""chip"" dishes such as set meals, sushi, rice bowls and soba in a mysteriously nostalgic atmosphere. ""Chip"" is a word in the Ainu language, which means ""red salmon"". The sushi set is very popular, as it allows customers to enjoy several types of food, including red salmon, with its smooth flavor, and fries, as well as nigiri sushi. The owner of the restaurant is an experienced chef who has studied in Sapporo and Osaka. The small bones of the red salmon are carefully removed one by one to make it easier for customers to eat. And this commitment to such fine details draws many customers from great distances, who come to enjoy the fine dishes."

ここは、支笏湖駐車場から徒歩約３-４分ぐらいのところにあります。今回、ランチで立ち寄り、「チップ入りそば寿しのそばセット」を食べました。店内は、４人用テーブル席、カウンター席及び座敷があります。

Shari-cho, Shari-gun, Hokkaido Utoro west 187-11

Kumanoya is a local cuisine restaurant located in Utoronishi, Shari Town, Shari County, Hokkaido.

Hokkaido Kushiroshi Akanchouakankonsen 4-4-1

Nabekyuu is a restaurant specializing in local cuisine that is located near Lake Akan, surrounded by beautiful natural scenery. As might be expected, the Sockeye Salmon and Japanese Pond Smelt caught locally in Lake Akan are particularly popular. In winter, the Japanese Pond Smelt is in season and can be eaten as Tempura, fried in a light coating of batter; it has a wonderful crisp texture and a delicious mild flavor. The Sockeye Salmon is in season in early summer, when it can be enjoyed as Sashimi or grilled with salt; both are equally delicious. The restaurant’s Sockeye Salmon Don (a bowl of fish and rice) and Japanese Pond Smelt Don dishes are also available as half-sized portions, so diners can try both fish together.

The handmade soba is very tasty and texture is definitely very from those ready made one. Worth a try if you are around the area.

Hokkaido Kamikawagunshimizuchou Shimizu 437-5

This is a drive-in style restaurant on the Nissho-toge pass crossing the Hidaka mountain range along National Route 274. Here, one can see the ever extending Tokachi plain, and the Daisetsu chain of peaks of Akan in the distance. The favorite dishes here are the Fatty Beef Gyutoro Donburi, in which a subtle sweetness and flavor of beef is enhanced with fat flakes to melt in your mouth. Also the Tokachi Shimizu Beef and Egg Steak Donburi bowl is a favorite that has a more substantial steak matched with egg flavor. Adjoining the restaurant is a souvenir shop offering all the standard Hokkaido souvenirs, but also original items.

Hokkaido Abutaguntouyakochou Touyakonsen 40-16

This eatery with about 60 years of history is located in Toyako Onsen. The store is known for its home cooking that uses vegetables picked in the morning, local seasonal seafood and locally raised meat. The small interior has a relaxing atmosphere that feels like you're at home. The scallop and egg rice bowl is highly recommended. It has young shellfish fry taken from Funka (volcano) Bay cooked with egg over rice, and comes with shellfish miso soup and pickles. The Tonkatsu Set using fresh Date golden pork and pork cutlet rice bowl are also popular. The fresh sashimi assortment is also a perfect match as a snack when drinking.

TIP:It seems only 4 families can fit at once + bar space. This is house transformed into a family business. Because it is a traditional home, you must remove your shoes. The staff don’t speak much...

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.
