Enjoy seasons in Japan by tasting raw fish at its seasonal best.
Surrounded by Sea of Japan, the Pacific Ocean, and Sea of Okhotsk, Hokkaido is one of the best places for fishing industry. In addition to extremely fresh local seafood, strictly selected seafood from all across the country gathers in Sapporo. Locals are of course great fish lovers, so sushi chefs are required to improve their skills, and therefore, the level of sushi served in Hokkaido is quite high. Sushi places here offer dozens of different types of seafood throughout the year, including rare local fish such as Gokko (smooth lumpsucker) and Hakkaku that are not served anywhere else. They are also proud of rice and sushi vinegar they select, and some of them use only Hokkaido-grown rice. What comes into our mind when we think about sushi is the high price, but do not worry. We recommend sushi lunch offered at reasonable prices. Sushi-go-round in Hokkaido is also what you should check out.
