Kuidokoro Sakebanya （喰処 鮭番屋）| Seafood BBQ Restaurant | Kushiro

If you want to eat fresh seafood early in the morning in Kushiro, how about "Kuidokoro Sakebanya （喰処 鮭番屋）"?

This is a seafood BBQ restaurant, and

we can enjoy fresh seafood such as squid, Pacific saury, and salmon caught off Kushiro （釧路）.

Look at the variety of choices; dried fish to ...................

alive seafood in the fish tank such as scallops and oysters.

Grill over charcoal fire, and fish flavor increases dramatically!

Actually I ordered seafood bowls↓ Which do you like the best? I love all of them; shrimps, salmon roe, and Tokisake salmon （時鮭）................., and surprisingly or naturally I ate all of them! Hahaha!

We can choose the size of rice! I think this is a good idea! Because like me, some people want to eat a lot, or can order some small-sized seafood bowls at the same time!!

Until the dishes were served, I was relaxed, drinking free tea .................

Voila! This is a shrimp and salmon roe bowl （えび・いくら丼）↓

Look at the plump, succulent shrimp! Yummy x 2!!

The roe is from the freshly-caught salmon in this season! Perfect!

This is a Tokisake salmon bowl （とき丼）↓

They use only Tokisake salmon caught with a fixed netting off Kushiro. How high the quality is!!

 The seafood bowls come with miso soup.

I love this fishing town!!!

The operation time of this restaurant is from 7:30 to 14:00. Wonderful, isn't it? It takes 20 minutes from JR Kushiro station to this restaurant on foot.

Kita no Lamp Tei （北のランプ亭）| Seafood BBQ Restaurant | Shiraoi

If you want to enjoy delicious seafood BBQ and hot spring at the same place, I recommend "Kita no Lamp Tei （北のランプ亭）" in Shiraoi （白老）!

This restaurant is just in front of the Pacific Ocean! Perfect location, isn't it?

When it's a beautiful day, it is great to eat lunch at the terrace!

How beautiful the ocean is!!

This is the menu for the lunch time. You must be surprised at a portion for one person.

Voila!!!
These are "Seafood BBQ sets （海鮮炭定食）" for four persons. My guests really enjoyed this delicious seafood caught off this area! The seafood so fresh that we can eat it as sashimi!!

They also ordered a "meat BBQ set （大地の炭焼定食）", 

a "sashimi set （お刺身定食）, and

(*They are of course caught in the Pacific ocean just in front of the restaurant!!)

a "deep-fired oyster set （かきフライ定食）".

Look at the plump oysters!

Please dip it in the delicious tartar!!! Yummy x 2!!!

This is today's special （おまかせ定食）! How big the seafood and vegetable fritters are!!

I should have ordered this seafood bowl??? Hahaha!

Actually I ordered a "seafood and meat BBQ set （海・山炭焼定食）"because I love meat, too!

Each set comes with rice, salad, miso soup, pickles, and a small dish like this↓ Are these normal side dishes? No, No, No!!!!

Look at the miso soup! It has several asari clams!!!! I love this fresh seafood texture!!!

Please enjoy the fresh ingredients with three kinds of BBQ sauce!

This is Sakhalin surf clam caught off Tomakomai city! How sweet it is! It is so fresh that I made it rare!

The vegetables were also produced in this area!

How about Hokkaido beef? It is very juicy! I love charcoal-broiled fish and meat!!

This home-made bacon is really recommendable!

This scallop was again caught off this area! Would you like to eat it? Please open your month! Hahaha!

We were so happy to eat such delicious local products!

This salmon was the best among all seafood today! It is perfectly fatty!!

This is not the end of our lunch.
Look at the today's special sashimi memu↓ Today they serve smelt sashimi, squid sashimi, HUGE botan prawn sashimi, Pacific saury sashimi, and boiled hairy crabs.

We ordered smelt sasimi （ししゃも刺）, because it is very local. Except this area, it is very difficult to get such fresh smelt and eat it as sashimi!!! Actually when it came to our table, the head was still moving a little bit!! Wow! Wow! Wow!

I love it!!! It is super-delicious!!!

This restaurant is very unique! How unique is it? Let's enter the "Natural Hot Spring --Zange no Heya-- （天然かけ流し温泉　懺悔の部屋）"↓

Yes! It has an outdoor hot spring!

This is just in front of the ocean! How comfortable it is!

The hot spring is alkali with salt!

Look at the large amount of natural water!! And guess what? It is free!!!

The time tricked by very slowly here!

Conchiglie （コンキリエ） ② | Roadside Station （道の駅） | Akkeshi

This is the second half of my post on Conchiglie （コンキリエ）, a roadside station in Akkeshi.

If you're interested in delicious ice cream and oyster souvenirs sold in this roadside station, please refer to the first half→☆.

On the second floor, there are two restaurants. One of them is "Restaurant Escal （レストラン　エスカル）".

It is famous for its "Emondon （えもん丼）" or oyster bowl!!

The other is "Sumiyaki Aburiya （炭焼　炙屋）", a BBQ restaurant!

It is famous for its "Emon sakamushi （えもん酒蒸し）" , steamed oysters in sake, and "all-you-can-eat oysters". Sounds very appetizing, doesn't it? We chose this BBQ restaurant for lunch.

Let's choose ingredients first!
Of course, the local fresh scallops and oysters are must! We picked up a lot of these! Hahaha!

Look at this corner! I've found something unique!

Whale meat!!!!
This is ginger-and-soy sauce-flavored sei whale （イワシ鯨）!

This is whale bacon!

This is whale smoked jerky!

Wow! This is my favorite!

Do you have any idea which part of whale is used for this bacon?

The answer is..................

saezuri （さえずり） or its tongue! Yummy x 2!

The eastern part of Hokkaido is famous for its whale fishing! I know it's controversial, but the whale meat is very delicious!

 I've found another unique item!

This is shika deer sausage!  

I skipped sea urchin, because we ate it a lot yesterday (Hahaha!).

Instead, I picked up a lot of abalone!!! I love it!!

Don't miss Pacific saury caught in this area!

It is a little bit too early to eat delicious fatty Pacific saury, but I really wanted to eat it!

Well, well, well, we headed for the BBQ table with a lot of ingredients!

"Itadakimasu!", which means "let's eat!"

We've learned how to grill oysters, and

why oysters grown here are delicious through the staff and this paper.

 Shall we?
(Sure!!)

Voila!!!
We really enjoyed delicious seafood and vegetables! I love this asparagus and crabs!!!

 This scallop is super! It was alive just before it was grilled!!

How about abalone caught off this town?

Its sashimi is wonderful, but I also love grilled ones!!

Yummy x 2!!! No, no, no! It is super yummy x 2!!

As I said, it is a little bit too early to eat Pacific saury................... Please wait until the best season (fall), and don't be greedy like me! Hahaha!

How do you like assari clam? Do we eat too much? (Of course!)

Don't forget very tasty local oysters!!

When the shell opens, it is the best time to eat it! 

Have you ever eaten such creamy, milky, juicy, rich and dense oysters like this? We ate them one after another! 

I also recommend this chimaki, or steamed rice cake wrapped in a bamboo leaf.

It has soy sauce-flavored tender pork!

See!! Yummy x 2!!
