Nijo Seafood Market Sapporo

June 17, 2018 by David Herd

Was hardly worth a visit.

Nijo Seafood Market Sapporo

Nijo Seafood Market Sapporo

Nijo Seafood Market Sapporo Japan left me a little disappointed. After Tsukiji fish market in Tokyo & Kanazawa Omicho fish market I expected more.

Rows of shops opposite each other.

Nijo Seafood Market SapporoThis is obviously the retail section, the wholesale warehouses are 5 or 6 blocks away. Several restaurants are among the shops, including a collection of small bars and restaurants.

Lots of varieties here.

Nijo Seafood Market SapporoLive, fresh & frozen are all available here at Nijo Seafood Market Sapporo.

Here is a big guy swimming around.

Nijo Seafood Market Sapporo Reminds me of my home on Australia’s Gold Coast during the 90s, I used to catch large mud crabs from my jetty.

Looks like octopus to me.

Nijo Seafood Market SapporoNice & chewy for sure.

Flashback to the Gold Coast in Australia 1998.

Nijo Seafood Market SapporoMy secret was to steam them in sake. 🙂

Nijo Seafood Market SapporoI’m starting to get very hungry. 🙂

You gotta love fresh crab

Nijo Seafood Market SapporoMakes my mouth water just looking at it. 🙂

Time for lunch.

Nijo Seafood Market SapporoNothing fancy just a small hole in the wall.

Nijo Seafood Market SapporoI settled for the house special which was excellent value at 2500 Yen or $30 AUD.

Kushi Dori Yakitori Sapporo

June 16, 2018 by David Herd

You gotta love Yakitori & Sake

Kushi Dori Yakitori Sapporo

Kushi Dori Yakitori Sapporo

Kushi Dori Yakitori Sapporo was an excellent typical, busy, noisy Japanese restaurant serving good food at a very reasonable price.

Small,busy & noisy.

Kushi Dori Yakitori SapporoThe only downside is customers are allowed to smoke in 90% of restaurants.

I went there two of the 4 nights I was in Sapporo.

Kushi Dori Yakitori SapporoEach time I had 5 or 6 skewers & 2 or 3 glasses of sake + an ice cold Asashi for only 1700 yen, or $20 AUD.

Beef tongue & asparagus wrapped in pork.

Kushi Dori Yakitori Sapporo Both were delicious as you can imagine. The sake was pretty good also.

The chicken is always hard to beat.

Kushi Dori Yakitori Sapporo In some ways it reminds me of eating Dim Sum, lots of different tasty small portions.

Is that “Daddy Cool” waiting for a seat?

Kushi Dori Yakitori Sapporo Kushi Dori Yakitori Sapporo is always busy & popular.

Very close to my hotel.

Kushi Dori Yakitori Sapporo APA Hotel Sapporo-Susukino-Ekimae was in a very good location next to the metro station. For a terrific room rate just book through THIS LINK & pay later, free cancellation if your plans change.

Kushi Dori Yakitori SapporoI have some friends in Thailand who selfie addicts also, lets just call them Hamish & BT.

Talking about happy chefs.
