    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 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 Areas

around-area-map

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.
