Hokkaido is an absolute SEAFOOD PARADISE. Today I am taking you to Otaru, just 25 minutes train ride from Sapporo. Here in Otaru you can find the Triangle Fish Market, where you can sample various seafoods. Some you may love, some you may hate! Don’t leave town without checking out the picturesque canal Otaru is known for. The many glass shops are where you can pick up your souvenirs, but I am here to eat!

  1. Uni and Otoro are my fav….Nikka Distillery tour was really fun and generous with the free samples
    We also visited Yamazaki distillery between Osaka and Kyoto… No free samples but you can buy shots to sample from their wide selection

  2. Uni is a big yes, Ikura is way too pungent for my taste but tobiko and masago are delicious. πŸ€€πŸ‘

  3. The wasabi with that kaisendon seemed like it was the cheap/horseradish kind. Is that normal? I remember when I was in Japan it seemed even at mid to kind of expensive sushi places (like the one in this video) that they served horseradish instead of real wasabi. I only remember having real wasabi with soba dishes.
    To sum up: Is the horseradish/imitation wasabi ok for Japanese people when eating sushi that is going for 3000yen and up per bowl?

  4. Thank you for another great video Luke. The kaisendon looks great (I love Uni, and fish roe, would have changed the salmon for tuna however).

    What would be great, is if you indicated in the introduction, when the video was filmed. So that when watching the video, we know about the weather, things blooming, the temperature etc. in that particular time of the year.

  5. I agree with Mink! I'd rather eat ice cream when it's cold. I can't stand melted ice cream lol

  6. Ooo no rock's for your whisky… Small amount of room temp water is your best bet to release the flavour. But scotch is better than Japanese… But we are biased as we are Scottish!

  7. οΏΌThanks you Luke,
    You have shown me so many beautiful things in the world! To be safe everywhere you go God Bless!!! πŸ™

  8. glass is awesome! i loved that part and the work in some of those glasses was breath taking

  9. i like to travel Japan. they know the tourist doesn't speak Japanese, so they offer menu with pictures for us to ease order.

  10. I too am a lover of sushi (haven't tried Uni though…yet!) That first bowl for $21 is a deal when comparing what one can get in other cities. The poke bowl I had today in Canada was 'ok'…not like your experience I'm quite, quite sure πŸ˜†πŸ˜†(and it was $25 lol!). Thanks for another great food vlog!
