Taishuizakaya Nichibei

A friendly place with delicious local delicacies such as the oyster in the shell cooked over coals -- just one taste and you'll know the difference.

We take high quality name-brand oysters like Maruemon and Kakiemon from Akkeshi and cook them in their shells over coals. A special technique is requi read morered to remove the oyster muscle using heat alone, but we have many years of experience in this regard, so please let us do all the work. Hokkaido is home to numerous delicious ingredients, and we focus on procuring the best of what the area has to offer, including whey, a byproduct of cheese production. One unique dish we offer, for instance, is our "whey mackerel", where mackerel is marinated in whey. We want our shop to stay accessible and down-to-earth, neither too formal nor severe, and love to engage patrons and promote communication, striking up conversations with solo diners at the counter and even forging new friendships. Our ample menu draws deep on delicious local ingredients, so if you are in the area on business or leisure, be sure to visit us so we can introduce you to the great tastes of Kushiro and of the wider Hokkaido region. learn more from chef
