By the way, Murasaki Sea Urchin is one of the more famous restaurants specializing in sea urchins in Hokkaido. The main store is in Hakodate. After walking around for two days, I came here when I was ready for dinner (the Life Sapporo store is quite hard to find. It is inside the building. I asked two security guards with a certain review haha 😄)
There were still people waiting for a seat at the door after 8 o'clock. The popularity is OK👌🏻. "Unicorn rice bowl" should be a must-order for every table. I think the taste is ordinary, but it is still quite fresh. In comparison, the raw food such as sashimi in this store is much better than others. "Grilled sea urchin" is really not recommended. It is hard and dry. It is even better than what I have eaten in China.
I have been to Japan many times in the past two years, but I don’t have the freshness of the first five or six years when I first came here. I think "everything is delicious". It may also be related to the food industry I am in contact with now. My taste has become more picky😄.
I used to eat sea urchin rice in China, and I always felt that it had a little bit of fishy smell, but the rice here actually made me taste the taste of the sea. I am not used to eating raw sea urchin, but it is really fresh.

After visiting the beautiful scenery, we came to the noodle kitchen in the culvert to eat the special Japanese ramen. A bowl of steaming hot ramen really makes people feel warm all over, and the taste is not bad either.
Today is September 7th. There was a major earthquake in Hokkaido yesterday. There was a power outage and water shortage for a day. Today, some of the electricity and water were restored to normal. I traveled to Goryokaku Park and met Weicai. It turned out that I could order salt-flavored ramen for free today. This boss is really kind. The ramen soup is clear, tastes fresh and sweet, the thin noodles are chewy, the barbecued pork is easy to eat, and the dried bamboo shoots increase the taste. It is worth a visit.

You must eat seafood when you come to Hakodate. The seafood here is also the best quality in Japan, fresh and cost-effective. The lobster is especially delicious and the meat is tender. You don't have to worry about whether the seafood here is not alive.
In Hakodate, in addition to the sea urchins in Murakami, this Haiguang Room is also worth a visit. It is also very convenient near Hakodate JR. There are many seafood in the store, such as king crabs, hairy crabs, fresh abalones, oysters, etc. Because I ate cheaper king crabs in the Hakodate Morning Market, I didn’t order squid sashimi here. There are 14 private rooms in the store, which is very suitable for the whole family.
The appetizer will be charged 500 yen per person. The cost-effective ones include 5 super large oysters for 2250 yen, sashimi for one person for 1500 yen and two people for 2000 yen, including scallops, sweet shrimps, tuna, etc. I didn’t eat enough sea urchin rice in Murakami, so I ordered a small one for 2800 yen here. The only drawback is that the abalone was too big to make sashimi, and some parts were a little old, but the taste was still very good. When you see this guide, remember not to be greedy like me and order a big one.
After eating some sashimi and cold food, I had a bowl of rice soaked in tea soup to warm my stomach. It was perfect. I also ordered honeydew soda and honeydew sake. Drink up!

Hakodate Morning Market is a must-go when you go to Hakodate. It is one of the famous morning markets in Japan. It is usually open until noon. The morning market not only sells fresh food, but also dry goods and vegetables. There are hundreds of shops, and you can also eat seafood rice, sushi, etc. made from local seafood, as well as some seasonal seafood that are only available in Hakodate.
① Yuanzu Squid Fishing Hole: This is very interesting. You must experience the fresh fishing and eating. After you catch the squid yourself, the clerk will make squid sashimi. It is not particularly difficult to fish. Just find the squid ears. Be careful when the squid is hung up because it will spray ink.
② Next to the Yuanzu Squid Fishing Hole is a fresh king crab stall. The fresh king crab here is the cheapest in the entire market. A whole king crab can be steamed or baked.
③ Kill two birds with one stone Hakodate Morning Market Store: The signature here is grilled shellfish and oysters. Scallops and Arctic clams are super fresh and delicious. His salt ramen is also delicious. There are no extra ingredients, just ramen and seaweed. The ramen tastes moderately salty, and the soup is clear and not particularly salty.
④ The cantaloupe at any stall is delicious, soft and melts in the mouth, and is very juicy and sweet.
When you come to Hakodate, you must check in at the Hakodate Morning Market. There are many kinds of seafood in the morning market, and they are very fresh. This is a good place to go on rainy days! In the morning market restaurant, you can taste seafood. The most famous one is the seafood rice bowl. I ordered a bowl of the most popular crab meat, caviar, sea urchin and scallop rice bowl, and I felt full of happiness...

Besides seafood, what else is there to eat in Hakodate? There is a century-old sukiyaki restaurant Azoli Honten in Hakodate that was introduced in the 2017 Michelin Guide Hokkaido. The owner of Azzoli Honten, which opened in Meiji 34, originally ran a butcher shop, but later also started selling sukiyaki, so he was able to provide high-quality Wagyu beef at reasonable prices.
The high-grade Wagyu beef that melts in your mouth, paired with the mellow and delicious sauce, is truly an unforgettable experience.
I recommend Sukiyaki, one of Japan's beef dishes. This restaurant is delicious. There are many customers at mealtime, many Japanese come to patronize. The meat in Sukiyaki is delicious. I ordered a soup, which tastes good and relatively light.

The sushi at Kantarō is very delicious. Especially the sushi made with smuggled seafood from Hakodate, you must try it. We recommend sea urchin sushi, scallop sushi, sakura shrimp sushi and grilled eel.
There is a pictured menu so ordering dishes that are not on the conveyor belt is simple. Just write the number on the order and give it to the sushi chef. They will hand you the plate when it is ready. You make your own green tea with the powder on the table and hot water from the flask. The staff will count the plates you have consumed and payment is made at the entrance. The prices are also very reasonable and the raw sushi is very fresh. We wanted to order the Japanese omelette sushi but it was already estimated at 7:30 pm.

The fourth-ranked noodle restaurant in Hokkaido, we went there for supper, and there were a lot of people at night. There were few people serving, but it seemed very busy. We ordered three noodles in two days. Miso, soy sauce, and dipping noodles. The dipping noodles here are served with hot sauce and are warm on the table, which tastes unique. The miso and soy sauce ramen are very distinctive. The soy sauce ramen has a lot of black pepper, but the pepper is fragrant but not spicy. The miso is rich in flavor but not very salty. It's really good. I'll leave the salt ramen for next time.
It tastes really good! Come in and have a bowl of hot ramen on a cold day, it will warm you from the inside out! The spicy miso ramen is highly recommended. You can also ask for salt for the soy sauce ramen. As a side dish, you can also order fried rice and dumplings, which are all great!

The ingredients are fresh and delicious, and you can find the rotating sushi bar by strolling through the old brick-red warehouse.
Fresh, tasty, and reasonably priced, with a wide selection of local fish that you won't find anywhere else. The live squid in the tank is highly recommended.
