Hokkaido 2019 | Sankaku Fish Market, Otaru

Sankaku Fish Market, where I had the best Kaisendon meal.

Despite its small and narrow appearance, don't let that deceive you. The moment you step inside, you'll be pleasantly surprised by the absence of any fishy smells. In fact, it smells even better than most supermarkets locally. However, the real highlight is the exceptional Kaisendon they serve, better than those I've tasted in Sapporo city.

Our kaisendon

Snow crab

Salmon, salmon roe and sweet shrimps.
