Winter in Hokkaido is the best season for seafood.
To survive the harsh cold, the fish and shellfish accumulate rich fat, resulting in firm texture, plump flesh, and deep, concentrated umami flavor. To let you fully enjoy these winter delicacies, the “Hokkaido Seafood Fair” will be held for two consecutive months. Each restaurant’s head chef has carefully crafted a selection of limited-time dishes — come and taste the finest flavors of the season.

Hokkaido Buffet Restaurant “Oktoberfest”

Hokkaido Seafood Squid Ink Paella
This jet-black paella, made with squid ink, brings together the umami of scallops, clams, squid, and shrimp. Each bite delivers a deep, rich taste from the combination of seafood flavors and the distinctive savor of squid ink, which also contains nutrients beneficial for beauty — a perfect winter dish.

Deep-Fried Atka Mackerel (Hokke)
While Atka mackerel is usually grilled or fried, deep-frying it results in tender, fluffy meat that pairs perfectly with drinks. It’s also mild and easy to enjoy for children or those who are not fond of fish — a truly addictive treat once you start eating.

Other seafood delights include Grilled Scallops with Butter and Soy Sauce, Braised Whelks, and Salmon Terrine with Aurora Sauce.
