Minatonoyatai （港の屋台）| Food Stall Complex | Kushiro Fisherman's Wharf MOO

I love food stalls, because the dishes are not expensive, but delicious!! If you want to share several dishes from different stalls, how about "Minatonoyatai （港の屋台）", located on the second floor of the "Kushiro Fisherman's Wharf MOO （釧路フィッシャーマンズワーフMOO）"? This is in downtown Kushiro.

See!? There are 10 food stalls on the floor! Sounds fun!!!

We can take a seat at a stall, enjoying conversations with owners, or take several dishes from different stalls, sharing them with our friends at the center tables.

One of my friends chose "Robata Shidukawa （炉ばた 志づ川）"↓

Look at the set menu! They are so reasonable!!!

Voila! This is a sashimi set! Oops! The owner tripped near our table, and sprinkled soy sauce over the sashimi! Hahaha!

Look at the samishi! All of the fish is caught off this town, and very fresh! Yummy x 2!!!

Another friend chose "Shokujidokoro Fuji （食事処 藤）"↓

Wow! Wow! Wow! How big the grilled Atka mackerel （ホッケ） is↓ Yes! Kushiro （釧路） is one of the famous fishing towns in Hokkaido.

Anyway, I chose "Kushiromeibutsu Zanginoyokozuna （くしろ名物 ざんぎの横綱）"↓

They serve delicious fried chicken called zangi （ザンギ）, and fresh seafood. Actually I negotiated with the owner, and asked him to make an original set!

Voila! This is my own set!

Do you have any idea what they are?

I know it's controversial, but this is whale meat! Actually Kushiro is a whaling town, where we can enjoy fresh juicy whale sashimi. Yummy x 2!!!

And this is Pacific saury （さんま）. Kushiro is proud of one of the biggest catches of the fish in Japan, whose best season is fall! Naturally I should eat it!!!　
This is very fatty, and super-delicious!!!

I also ordered beef tataki （牛のたたき）↓

This is a Japanese-version of roast beef. Very appetizing, isn't it?

On the first floor of the "Kushiro Fisherman's Wharf MOO （釧路フィッシャーマンズワーフMOO）", we can enjoy souvenir shopping.

I love this stall complex!

Kushiro Ramen Kawamura （釧路ラーメン河むら）| Ramen Restaurant | Kushiro

Kushiro （釧路）, located in the eastern part of Hokkaido, is one of the famous ramen cities. Today I'll show you one of the most popular ramen restaurants in the city, "Kushiro Ramen Kawamura （釧路ラーメン河むら）".
They have several their branches, but this main restaurant （釧路本店） located in downtown Kushiro is the best↓

Let's enter it!

What is Kushiro ramen like, anyway? The typical Kushiro ramen is very thin and wavy ramen noodles with soy-sauce flavored soup whose broth is manly from seafood.

This is the menu. They serve several types of ramen, but if you haven't tried Kushiro ramen, I definitely recommend soy-sauce flavored ramen（醤油ラーメン）↓

Don't forget the side dishes!! They are also very recommendable!

Voila!
This is soy sauce-flavored ramen↓ Looks very simple, but well-balanced with each other!!!

One of the topping is the roasted pork. They make not very tender char ciu, so that we can enjoy the meat texture itself.

The bamboo shoot is very thinly sliced like this↓ It goes well with the seafood-based soup and thin noodles.

The minced green onion is also a great accent for ramen. Yes, the toppings are very simple, but very sophisticated!

Look at the very thin wavy noodles! Yummy x 2!!!!

Don't forget the side dish! This is Butameshi （豚めし） or pork bowl. Finely-minced roasted pork and green onions are mixed with mayonnaise, and special soy-based sauce is added to it.

Personally, I really love it! Whatever I eat ramen, I'm sure to order it! It is super-delicious!!

This ramen restaurant is open until 2 PM, and I recommend to go there after drinking, too!

Restaurant Izumiya （レストラン泉屋） | Kushiro

Kushiro reminds a lot of young people supakatsu （スパカツ）, which is so popular that MOS BURGER serves Supakatusu Burger for a limited period now!

Let's go to a restaurant serving the most delicious supakatsu!!
This is "Restaurant Izumiya （レストラン泉屋）"↓

All of their dishes are delicious and large in quantity!

Let's enter it!

Local people around us ordered dishes other than supakatsu, but as I cannot come to Kushiro so often, I ordered supakatsu, of course!!!

Voila!
This is spakatsu!! Yes, supakatsu means spaghetti and cutlet!! Because it is very hot, the sauce is overflowing from the iron plate!!

Because it is very hot, the steam from the dish mists over the camera lens!!!

Look at the volume! Perfect!!!

I love this juicy cutlet!!

Baked spaghetti on the very hot iron plate goes well with this rich and delicious meat sauce! Yummy x 2!!

Except Supakatsu, how about an A set? It is included with hamburger steak, spaghetti, salad, crab croquette, gratin, and............

pilaff! Do you have any idea how much it is?

The set is only 1,200 yen!!! How reasonable it is!!!!

Personally, I recommend a D set↓ 

Look at this very tender beef!!!! You don't need to use a knife to cut it! Hahaha!

Wow! Wow! Wow! The set comes with this doria.

It's very creamy, and yummy x 2!!!

I really recommend the cheap but very delicious dishes in this restaurant!!
