I wanted to have breakfast, so I visited this restaurant every day! There weren't many people yet. I had the crab miso ramen and mini seafood bowl that I had three years ago. The ramen was still rich and delicious. The mini seafood bowl was just the right size. Thank you for the meal!

Last time, I came up from Abashiri, had lunch here, and returned. This time, I came down from the north! There were also group tourists from overseas, so it was lively. I had a bowl and grilled dishes. Next time, I'd like to take it easy and have a drink while I'm here. Thank you for the meal.

Reasonable Seafood Bowl (with miso soup) for 1600 yen. The ingredients include shrimp, salmon, octopus, flounder, scallops, and salmon roe. The flavorful miso soup is excellent. Despite being inexpensive, the portion size is decent, making it a good value. You can also buy seafood from the attached seafood market and have it cooked and served here.

I was looking for a place to have lunch and found this restaurant on this site. This place seems to be widely involved in souvenir sales, fisheries, and online shopping in the area. I bought fresh snow crab and scallops from the souvenir shop attached to the restaurant, where seafood can also be brought in. The restaurant had tables with gas grills in the center, making it look like a huge seafood barbecue restaurant. The snow crab was boiled in seawater with a hint of salt, allowing me to enjoy its delicate flavor even without any sauce. I bought 3 scallops for 450 yen, grilled the largest one, and had the other two served as sashimi. I was amazed by the scallops, as they had a firm texture and the taste of the sea in both the grilled and sashimi versions. It was a surprising and delicious experience.

Hokkaido Wandering Trip 65 - Monbetsu City 1F Direct Sales Store is a shop of Marukaichi, a huge seafood company in Monbetsu. The direct sales store offers various items such as crab, dried fish, and sashimi, and what you buy can be eaten at the 2F charcoal grill. The direct sales store does not allow photography. I purchased raw scallops for sashimi for ¥980, which was quite cheap. I then went to the 2F right after opening and bought the Charcoal Grill Set B for ¥2000 from the ticket machine. I handed the food ticket and raw scallops to the staff. Inside the store, there were rows of charcoal grills. Drinks are self-service. The raw scallops had 22 pieces of meat, which was very satisfying. Monbetsu City, Lake Saroma, and Abashiri City are areas where scallops are very affordable. The Charcoal Grill Set B includes Minami Taraba crab legs, half a hokke fish, scallops with shells, button shrimp, 2 rice balls, and crab soup (can be changed to seafood bowl or crab bowl for an additional ¥600). The scallops were not as good as in Sarufutsu Village, but still delicious. The charcoal grill was decently tasty, and I left feeling full in the morning. The direct sales store offers great value for money, but the seafood charcoal grill is average, so I am giving an overall rating based on both.

I visited the store just after it opened at around 8:30 in the morning. I was the first customer as there was no one else there. I bought freshly peeled scallop sashimi from the first-floor shop and had it served on a plate at the dining area. The large scallops were a great deal for less than 1000 yen and tasted sweet and delicious. The crab and salmon roe bowl (mini) was also tasty, although not as impressive as the scallops.

In my student days, there were many railways and stations in Hokkaido that have disappeared over the past thirty years. One of them is Monbetsu Station on the Nayoro Main Line. In the winter, driving in Hokkaido is scary, so the only way to get to Monbetsu is by bus. I visited Monbetsu to ride the Garinko-go, which I couldn't do during my student days. For lunch, I tried Hokkaido-style robatayaki. It was completely different from the robatayaki I had at a local place where my junior's father is the manager, and you could even order additional items from a vending machine. I had to be careful not to overcook the robatayaki, and I enjoyed it with a seafood bowl, which I also love. The miso soup was delicious too.

Near the port, there is a parking lot available, but it is recommended to read the instructions on how to park before doing so. The dining style involves going up to the second floor and purchasing a ticket from the machine before eating. Despite this year's poor crab harvest, this place still offers a satisfying crab meal. The portions were unexpectedly generous, and I left feeling full. It's a luxurious place where you can enjoy the bounty of Hokkaido at a very reasonable price.

[Visit on November 8, 2021] I purchased some "snow crabs" at the direct sales store, selected the size, and had them prepared at the adjacent (2nd floor) "Marukaichi Suisan Seafood Robatayaki". The snow crabs boiled in the morning were incredibly delicious! I love crabs, so I easily finish one on my own (^O^).

I spent a few days in a port town, eating a lot of seafood, and I was starting to think about trying something different, but ended up choosing seafood again (^^) However, I went for a bit of a change with crab miso ramen ＼(^o^)／ I wasn't sure if it was ramen with crab in it, or crab miso flavored ramen (lol) The answer was the former! I thought the crab might be overpowered by the miso, but just like in crab soup, they complemented each other well ＼(^o^)／ It was incredibly delicious! The mini seafood bowl that came with the set was also a proper seafood bowl ＼(^o^)／ Amazing, I feel like I got a great deal starting from the morning (^^)

Hokkaido Monbetsu City Marukaiichi Suisan Seafood Robatayaki I visited Marukaiichi Suisan Seafood Robatayaki in Monbetsu City, Hokkaido. Here is the menu. There is a ticket machine at the entrance, so you buy a food ticket and hand it to the staff before being seated. Here is the table setting. After ordering, the Crab Miso Ramen, Mini Crab and Salmon Roe Bowl Set, and grilled scallops arrived in about 10 minutes. The ramen was quite oily, but the ginger in it made it refreshing and delicious. The Mini Crab and Salmon Roe Bowl had plenty of crab and salmon roe, which was delightful. The grilled scallops were consistently delicious. It made me want to have a beer. Even though we arrived close to the last order, we were treated politely, which left a good impression. Both the ramen and the bowl were delicious. Next time, I want to try the robatayaki as well. Thank you for the meal.

Visited Marukaichi Suisan for the first time. We were the first customers as we arrived right after the store opened. Three more groups came while we were eating. It seems like they are really affected by the coronavirus as it used to be crowded with tourist buses. We had seafood bowls and grilled dishes, which were delicious. It's a great restaurant. I hope they can overcome this difficult time.

In February 2021, I boarded the "Galinko" ship in Mombetsu, but unfortunately I couldn't see the drift ice and ended up feeling disappointed. I had lunch at "Marukaichi Suisan Seafood Robatayaki", which is operated by Marukaichi Suisan Co., Ltd., a leading seafood processing company in Mombetsu. The company is known for handling live crabs imported from Russia, holding a 70% domestic market share in live crab imports. In recent years, they have also been exporting scallops from the Okhotsk Sea, showcasing their global reach. On this day, I ordered the set A of drift ice bowl and seafood robatayaki. My wife and I enjoyed eating the small king crabs together. It's my wife's job to prepare the crabs, and she boasts that she has learned how to cut them in an easy-to-eat way as she loves crabs. However, the premium king crab from Mombetsu that I bought at the end of the year at the Aeon Kitami store was much more delicious. Since the prices are completely different, it can't be helped. The first floor shop displays large domestic crabs, and you can also bring them up to the second floor. To enhance your satisfaction, it's recommended to ignore the price to some extent and bring what you bought at the first floor shop.

I had lunch at Marukaiichi Suisan near the port of Abashiri. Next to it, there is a direct sales store, and the restaurant is on the second floor. This place uses a rare food ticket system and mainly serves grilled dishes. The interior of the restaurant is filled with grills. This time, I ordered the Drift Ice Bowl. It took a bit of time for it to be served, but when it arrived, I saw a large bowl filled with salmon roe, scallops, salmon, and the standout was the crab shell filled with crab meat. Let's dig in! The crab is delicious and the salmon roe has a nice popping texture. The miso soup has a crab broth, but it's a bit light in flavor. Now I want to try their seafood grilled dishes as well.

Today's lunch in Monbetsu City, overlooking the Sea of Okhotsk, is the "Crab Miso Ramen" packed with seafood. The miso soup is full of crab flavor with medium curly noodles. Toppings include snow crab legs and claws, giving a burst of crab flavor with every bite. The "Drift Ice Bowl" is loaded with the blessings of the Sea of Okhotsk! It contains shredded crab meat and legs in a crab shell, along with scallops, salmon, whelk, and salmon roe.

"I knew instinctively that it was 'ichi' but this is not the right moment to say it. If I were to say 'it should be 'ichi' right now, the balance of the 13 board members would be disrupted, and the president's faction would overthrow the chairman's faction. It's important to consider what will happen to the chairman's faction, but right now, I need to protect my position. If I can protect my position, whether it's 'zatouichi' or 'zatoumaru,' it doesn't matter. My wife had an unusual Saturday off, and I wondered where she was going. It turns out she's heading north, all the way to Omu. She said there's a nice restaurant there. She's acting like it's her achievement, but the decision of a nice restaurant was not hers, it was 'HO.' They said there are more interesting restaurants north of Abashiri. 'HO' is often bought by my wife, but I also buy it occasionally. I spend most of my time at home on Tabelog, so I haven't read most of them. My wife chose 'Marukaichi Fishery' for lunch. What's so fashionable about it? 'I want to eat crab ramen,' she said. Can't we share one if that's the case? But when we arrived, it was reserved for a group. There was a bus parked, so my wife said, 'It's okay, the shop is fine.' She went into the direct sales area. There was a sign at the entrance that said 'No photography allowed.' I really hate this. I know I'm wrong 92% of the time, but what about the law? Will I get caught? I'll run even if I'm in my underwear. My wife was interested in 'snow crabs' and ended up tasting them. It was 1280 yen for two shells, not legs. 'It's not expensive, right?' she said. I wonder how much meat is in it. It's not fresh compared to the legs, but the price is less than half, so isn't it good? I actually tasted it, and it was very salty and not fresh at all. But I didn't stop because it wasn't expensive, and I thought it would be good in crab soup. I'm wondering what would happen if I said this. It's too much trouble to think about it, so I kept quiet. Tonight's side dish is ready. The staff seemed used to tourists and had a cheeky attitude. I don't like it. Honestly, I thought it was very salty and not fresh, but I didn't say anything because it wasn't expensive, and I thought it would be good in crab soup. My wife gave up and started peeling the crabs. She tried to get me interested by saying, 'There's a lot of miso inside, it's delicious,' and brought the meat and miso from the shell to me. And sake was poured. It was sent by a friend from Sapporo. I tried it. Huh? It's delicious. I thought it was a lie that it was boiled in the morning, but it's fine. The miso is delicious, and it's worth 1280 yen. My wife finished hers first. I found it very delicious and ate slowly, so more than half was left. I didn't recognize the value, and my wife peeled all of them, so I said, 'Eat!' and gave her the remaining portion. At first, she hesitated, but she ate it. She looked happy and said it was delicious."

I planned a trip to Hokkaido in March to see the drift ice, but I also wanted to eat delicious food in Sapporo. I used a bus tour to see the drift ice with Sapporo as my base. The lunch set for the bus tour was at this restaurant. Each person had a crab at the robatayaki. Was it a king crab or a snow crab? I think there was an explanation on the bus, but it's a distant memory. The set included chanchan-yaki, shrimp, squid, and miso soup with crab. The taste was honestly average.

I went to this restaurant because Yottekemaru and Miga were full, but it had a tourist bus feel and lacked freshness. The crab, grilled shellfish, and seafood bowl all had a strong frozen feel, and I will never go back. It's a pity for those who came on a trip looking forward to it.

Shiraoi❗️ I had seafood bowl, crab and salmon roe bowl, and grilled scallops. They were all fresh and delicious♪
