If you’re after seafood, this is the place to go to! There are heaps of crabs and oysters and you can sit and eat at the back of some of shops. There are some restaurants as well and they got some great seafood options. I’d recommend doing a round first before you buy anything as the prices can vary a bit 🙌
Not a very interesting place. Basically the shops are either selling seafood items or restaurants. Many choices of restaurants but the ones with good reviews are usually very busy and waiting time is expected. The ones with poor reviews or described as tourist traps were generally less crowded. Unlikely to go back next time in Sapporo.
Nice fish market with a great selection of fresh seafood retailers and restaurants that sell them. The first stall we stumbled on was a guy cooking massive scallops and oysters on a grill. We had to buy it and it was delicious.
We also bought a slice of the premium Hokkaido melon, and it was amazingly sweet and juicy!
The whole market was easy to maneuver through. I never understand the No Photographs policy some shops had, as these photos are what promoted their shops to the world. Nevertheless, it was amazing seeing massive king crabs, oysters, expensive yet delicious Hokkaido melons and other variety of local catches.
The location is very central and easy to get to. Highly recommend visiting.
Great place if you’re a seafood lover, want to buy seafood products (such as dried scallops) or eat some fresh sushi, sashimi or donburi.
It’s not a big market, you can cover the whole market in 5 mins. I dined at one of the restaurants at around 2pm, and waited over an hour to be seated, so expect long wait times. But it’s definitely worth it.
Great place if you want to buy dried scallops. Much cheaper than the department stores which I found out, prices range from ¥7000 to ¥20000. Ask for a discount!
Great fish markets with a large selection of seafood both raw and cooked. Very friendly shop owners all around.
In indulged on some sashimi tuna, freshly shucked oysters and sea urchin.
