Hokkaido is surrounded on all sides by the sea and has been prosperous in fisheries since ancient times. The seafood landed by Hokkaido fishing boats accounts for approximately 1/4 of Japan’s total catch. As the severe cold sets in, fish living in the cold sea naturally firm up, and because of the winter chill and spawning, they store energy as a lot amount of fat. This makes it a delicious season with rich flavors.

To savor the delicious seafood of Hokkaido, we are helding the ‘Hokkaido Seafood Fair’ consecutively for two months. Please enjoy special limited menus featuring abundant delights from the sea, crafted by the skilled chefs of each restaurant.

Eat through Hokkaido food at Oktoberfest

At the popular “Chef’s Kitchen” corner featuring charcoal grilling and teppanyaki with the chef cooking right in front of you, a variety of seafood such as scallops in their shells, snow crabs, turban shells, squid, and more are meticulously grilled over charcoal. They are great as a side dish with rice, or even together as an accompaniment to your drinks. Freshly grilled scallops are excellent. Let’s enjoy the food and support scallop producers while you are in Rusutsu.

 

Counted as one of the world’s three great soups, “Bouillabaisse” is rich with anglerfish, scallops, shrimp, squid, clams, and a seafood broth. Despite its refreshing tomato base, it is equally nutritionally satisfying, standing out among other soups. This dish is highly recommended for relieving travel fatigue or enjoying after activities.

In addition, savor the plump shrimp with chili sauce, creamy pasta with small shrimp, and at the seafood bowl corner, enjoy an all-you-can-eat feast of tuna, salmon, scallops, salmon roe, flying fish roe, and konosirus . Come with an empty stomach and enjoy to your heart’s content.
