I’m really disappointed with my recent visit. The grilled mackerels we were served were clearly burnt—dry, overly charred, and far from enjoyable. What’s more frustrating is that they were still brought out to us as if they were acceptable. We’ve been here before, and summer 2024 was a completely different experience—fresh, well-cooked food and great attention to quality. This time felt like a big step down. I hope the team takes this feedback seriously and improves their standards, because this visit was honestly disappointing.

Exelent food, of great blend of all kinds of marine versions, eaten raw... the experience was great, but be ready and keep your mind open to new flavors and textures... soft raw sea options.. urchins, crab, shrimp, tuna, salmon, scallops, fish eggs...

Great places, reasonable prices compared to other restaurants in Otaru. Friendly staff.

Fantastic place for kaisendon and grilled seafood. Order the cheaper mixed kaisendon, you get all the types of seafood for a cheaper price. The grilled squid is very nicely done and the king prawns were good too. One of the cheaper dining options along this tourist trap street.

Went here as it was recommended by ‘Life in Japan’ article for its “great prices”, but found it to be a disappointment. My partner and I ordered 2 Kaisen Dons, 3000 yen and 2000 yen. For that price I was expecting the freshest seafood in good size portions but was disappointed to find the sashimi thinly sliced and tiny prawns (more like shrimp), and a few slithers of Uni. It didn’t look or taste as fresh as what we had in Nijo market in Sapporo. After eating the seafood my partner felt sick. Better off find a better place to eat.
