Seafood Rice Bowl of Hokkaido

Seafood Rice Bowl is a bowl meal that rice is topped with fresh seafood, and can be eaten in the whole of Hokkaido. A lot of restaurants basically use sliced raw seafood such as prawn, cuttlefish, salmon, tuna, scallop, and salmon roe, surf clam, sea urchin and crab are used depending on restaurants. In many cases, fresh seafood are dished up abundantly in the Hokkaido, and the appearance looks luxurious, and I think that people are surprised at the taste if they have never eaten Hokkaido’s food. In addition, some restaurants serve rice bowls narrowing down seafood, for example, Sea Urchin Rice Bowl, Salmon Roe Rice Bowl, Scallop Rice Bowl, Shrimp Rice Bowl and Tomoe-don Rice Bowl. The pricea are high, but those are very tasty. Do you eat those as a memory of your trip?

I think that you can not go wrong with seafood rice bowl in towns with a fishery port, but seafood rice bowl in large seafood markets such as Sapporo Central Wholesale Market (札幌中央卸売場外市場), Otaru Triangle Market (小樽三角市場), Hakodate Morning Market (函館朝市) and Kushiro Washo Market (釧路和商市場) have a good reputation. I have never eaten noted rice bowl such as Dancing Squid Rice Bowl (イカ踊り丼), Tsukkomeshi Salmon Roe Rice Bowl (つっこ飯のイクラ丼) and Katte-don Rice Bowl (勝手丼), but those are famous.
