I choose big prawn, sashimi, unagi, some fish. And all taste so fresh ! Check the opening and closing time.

A stone’s throw from Otaru stations, the Sansaku market presents a terrifically seductive dance of fresh, gorgeously prepared seafood and shellfish, tucked in one of Hokkaido’s most beloved neighbourhoods – Otaru.

Stunning seafood dishes like octopus are profound in their simplicity, bringing out clean, startlingly robust flavors. Make sure you have the more ambitious dishes like the Seafood rice bowl with Hokkaido specialty, ikura (salmon roe) for a total experience which is dizzying and unforgettable. Everything is exceptional. It’ll leave seafood enthusiasts bragging for weeks. You’d be advised to come with an appetite. This is the true truth as I say it as it is…
