A travel guide to enjoy Sapporo and its surrounding areas

If you’re in Otaru, seafood is the obvious choice for lunch. The Aozuka Inn Shokudo, situated right in front of Shukutsu port, is a diner operated by the inn, popular with both tourists and local people as a place where you can always enjoy seasonal seafood. A single quaint house sitting at the side of Shukutsu port, if offers herring, tokubire (Podothecus sachi), and gives off the delicious scent of scallops and whelks cooking. The store offers both table seats, and convenient raised seats in case you came with children. The menu has sashimi, seafood rice bowls, sea urchin rice bowls, set meals with grilled fish and more, with a wide range of choices in both sets and single dishes for you to mix and match. Your appetite will only build while you’re deciding what to get. Enjoy Otaru-Shukutsu’s flavours while watching the sea in front of you.
