Hokkaido is a well-known treasure trove of food. The deliciousness of seafood varies by season and region, and it is exceptional. This time, we explored restaurants in the Sapporo and Susukino areas, which are rich in seafood, to find places that specialize in fish dishes. We will introduce restaurants where you can enjoy not only sashimi but also simmered dishes and grilled fish, along with drinks.
1. Tairyo Funamori Izakaya (Japanese Tavern) Ooumi-monogatari
The appetizer boat platter is our pride. A popular restaurant where you can enjoy exceptionally fresh fish dishes.
Located just a one-minute walk from Susukino Subway Station, 【Tairyo Funamori Izakaya (Japanese tavern) Ooumi-monogatari】 is an izakaya where you can enjoy plenty of fresh seafood from Hokkaido. The interior features private couple seats and large horigotatsu seating that can accommodate up to 30 people. The horigotatsu seating can be partitioned for use by smaller groups. It is perfect for various occasions such as business meetings and dinner parties.
The specialties of the shop are the 'Funamori (Large Boat Platter)' and 'Crab Platter' that are served as the first appetizers. The boat platter uses fresh seafood sourced from local waters and across the country, featuring over 20 types at all times, making it very voluminous. The crabs are directly shipped from their seasonal production areas, including hairly crabs, king crabs, snow crabs, and Hanasaki crabs. In addition, there are also plenty of izakaya style menu items such as salads, fried dishes, and charcoal-grilled dishes.
2. Simmered Fish, Sashimi, Seasonal Vegetables - Umi no Shiki
A Japanese restaurant with private rooms where you can enjoy exquisite dishes made from high-quality ingredients from Hokkaido.
Located a 3-minute walk from Susukino Subway Station, [Simmered fish, Sashimi, Seasonable Vegetables Umi no Shiki] is a Japanese restaurant where you can enjoy the finest seafood such as luxurious Kinki-fish, hairy crab, and Kue (longteeth grouper). The restaurant offers completely private rooms with sunken kotatsu seating, accommodating up to 42 people depending on the group size. You can enjoy your meal without worrying about your surroundings, making it perfect for entertaining important guests or various business meetings.
We are particular about selecting ingredients, using the finest ingredients from Hokkaido such as the 'Caught Kinki-fish' from Abashiri, the hairy crab from Nemuro, and the highest-grade fish, Kue (longteeth grouper). The head chef's top recommendation is the simmered 'Kinki-fish', a high-end fish representing Hokkaido. It is cooked to perfection without taking too much time, resulting in a fluffy texture. Additionally, the extra-large fatty Hokke (Atka mackerel) is of an astonishing size. The seafood hot pot and shabu-shabu (boiled meat slices) are also exquisite.
