    This store is directly managed by a fishery in Rausu Town, Menashi County, Hokkaido, and has an area in the shop for customers to sit down and eat. The store offers a selection of fresh seafood, mainly caught in Rausu, such as crab, scallops and salmon, etc. In addition to the classic dishes such as seafood rice bowl, salmon roe rice bowl, and Atka mackerel set meals, you can also taste their Rausu sea urchin dishes for a limited time between February and June. Red king crab, freshly taken from the tank and boiled alive, is especially popular. When ordering the seafood lunch you can also have a go at breaking open the sea urchin.

    I took a meal combo with scallops and baked fillet of cod. I was told to feel free for another bowl of rice but I was so full. Everything is fresh here and tastes nice.

    Hokkaido Menashigunrausuchou Fujimichou 4-1
    A restaurant serving highly seasonal dishes located at the entrance to Rausu Fishing Port. Here you can enjoy Japanese cuisine revolving around fresh seafood brought in daily to the port. Arabesque greenling is a local specialty food and the restaurant's signature dish is its arabesque greenling tempura. The plump battered greenling, drenched in sauce, is so big it hangs over the side of the plate. Another popular menu item is the sashimi set meal, which comes with ten varieties of sashimi. In winter, Iwami is only open for dinner, but in summer the restaurant also opens for lunch.

    Directly operated by Utoro fishermen. This is one of the Shiretoko tourist spots. Everyday the local fishermen sell freshly caught shellfish and seafood, including sea urchin, tsubugai, octopus and seasonal scallops. One can enjoy grilling the greenling, thorny head, or flounder, just freshly dried that morning. This market is also a direct sales outlet for other stores, and their products, such as the dried fish, can be purchased as souvenir gifts. Their landmark is the rack of dried fish rotating at the front of the store.

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.
