Japanese food – Uni (sea urchin) day trip to Otaru, Hokkaido, Japan!
Otaru is a small port town on the island of Hokkaido in Japan, that’s known for its abundance of delicious and fresh seafood. So during my trip to Sapporo, I knew it was one day trip we didn’t want to miss.
Sapporo Station – To get to Otaru from Sapporo, you can take the JR train from Sapporo Station. It cost me 640 JPY ($5.73) and the ride took about 45 minutes or so.
Sankaku Market Seafood Market –
Just outside the Otaru train station and to the left hand side as you exit, you’ll find Sankaku Market, a small and very friendly fresh seafood market selling an abundance of Hokkaido seafood delicacies like uni (sea urchin). There are some very famous seafood rice bowl restaurants, but you’ll also find different fish, and fresh King crabs and hairy crabs. I took one walk through the seafood market, but then settled on the first shop – mainly because they owners were so friendly and welcoming.
Kawashima Shop – This the the seafood shop at the market we ate lunch at, and I would highly recommend it. The owners and staff were all very friendly, and the seafood was fresh and incredible.
Hakkaku (sailfin poacher fish) – 1,000 JPY ($8.96) – Along with uni, one of the things I wanted to eat in Otaru was Hakkaku, which is a sailfin poacher fish. It’s look very unique, and it prepared as sashimi. It was delicious.
Uni don (sea urchin bowl) – 4,500 JPY ($40.31) – But the real dish I came all the way to Otaru to eat was a full uni don, sea urchin rice bowl. First a layer of rice went down, then a couple of shiso leaves, then a full bed, and entire box of fresh vibrantly yellow sea urchin (uni). It was outstanding. I’ve had sea urchin many times before, but usually it’s just a couple pieces of sushi, this was an entire bowl full, and it was insanely delicious.
Hairy crab (horsehair crab) – 6,500 JPY ($58.23) – Finally, just because I had never had a hairy or horsehair crab, I decided to get a fresh crab. Horsehair crabs are all about the roe inside, and it’s complex and flavorful.
This was an amazing day of Japanese food in Otaru, the highlight for me was the seafood market, and it’s well worth a visit when you are in Hokkaido.

I always wonder, do Japanese eat raw fish………….?
The price is high!!!
Wow I really enjoy watching you eat, Mark!!
Where can i buy Uni in the states?i live in Southern California and i would love to try some.
Hi Mark form Melbourne Australia, it was interesting hearing you say the Sea Urchin was a bit bitter. I have eaten it here and it was delicious and creamy, no bitter taste. Keep up with your great work Mark.
Thanks for the video mark. It gave me a lot of nostalgia. Im so glad you tried the zangi. I remember wandering around that area and smelling the chicken but they had run out and i had to head back for work in Hakodate that night.
Hi mark we new zealanders love uni but we call it kina here I must come and taste the difference.?

Straight up….looks great man but bloody cold there!!
Keep it up (more oysters would help lol) ✌?
Japan is damm expensive hope I have enough money to travel there in future
The man wanted you to buy a bigger crab, I assume it tastes better and I am sure he make more money, not that Japanese see that compared to other Americans!

Why was the crab 58 dollars?
Always love your video, Mark ?.and after watching the video must make me starving ??
Why this fish is not cooked ?.
I can’t wait for my Japan, China, Korea trip 2021!
Japanese are experts at butchering fish….such finesse and precision
そんな美味しそうに食べてくるの、日本人としてとても嬉しい！
I am very happy as a Japanese that eats so deliciously!
