This is a report from Hokkaido (lol). I stopped by the Michi-no-Eki Conquérie in Akkeshi after a long time! The weather was nice, and the snow-covered Akkeshi scenery was beautiful! I enjoyed some bucket oysters at the charcoal-grilled restaurant, and then I stopped by "Oyster Bar Pitoresque" for a visit! There were food samples displayed outside, and the pizza looked tempting! (lol) It was around 1:40 pm on a weekday, with no customers initially, but later 4 customers in 2 groups arrived, and there were available seats! The window-side counter seats offer a panoramic view, right! I ordered the following items from the menu: "Oyster and Pancetta Genovese Pizza ¥1,500" and "Three kinds of steamed oysters *I forgot to take a photo of the menu (lol)". The dishes arrived after about 10 minutes of waiting while enjoying the view without thinking about anything! Wow, the Genovese pizza topped with luxurious oysters looks delicious! The dough may not be authentic Neapolitan pizza from a specialty store, but it is delicious! Of course, the oysters are delicious too! Personally, I felt that the flavor and sweetness of the Inca no Mezame oysters were too strong, but they were still delicious! The steamed oysters in three varieties, "Tarako, Gratin-style, Genovese", all had excellent compatibility and were delicious! I quickly finished the delicious meal! It's a recommended place where you can enjoy oysters while overlooking the beautiful scenery of Akkeshi! Thank you for the meal.

Oyster and sea urchin cream pasta for 1380 yen. Had dinner at a bar at Akkeshi Michi no Eki. Wanted to have some drinks too, but ended up just having a meal. They had a variety of Akkeshi whiskies and other options. Will definitely try them next time. Ordered through a QR code for web ordering. Even though it was just one person cooking, the service was efficient and quick. The cream pasta with oysters and sea urchin was delicious, with three large oysters and bacon bits. The sea urchin flavor was not very strong, but the rich cream pasta and oysters were amazing. The portion was generous and left me feeling full.

There wasn't a specific notice about the time, but maybe because it's Golden Week, the event started at 10:30 instead of 11. They have a system where you write your name, but if you're not there, they even call out your name inside the restaurant, which is nice. I'm not a big fan of oysters, but since I was there, I decided to try them. The fresh oysters had a strong oyster taste, but the mixed platter was delicious. Beer, the view, and leisurely dining - it was the best.

On the second day of staying in Akkeshi, the visit to Akkeshi Distillery ended with a whisky tasting at a local shop. I compared "Keichitsu" and "Oyster Lullaby" from the 24 Seasons series, accompanied by deer jerky and oyster senbei. "Oyster Lullaby" is only available at eating and drinking establishments in Akkeshi town. It was easy to drink with no strong taste. I personally preferred "Keichitsu," which had a distinct taste. As we enjoyed the tasting, it was already past 11 o'clock. We decided to have lunch with oysters here, so we looked at the menu. "Kin no Kaki Emon" raw oysters for 380 yen, and Oyster and Shiitake Mushroom Pangratan for 1380 yen. "Kin no Kaki Emon" is a carefully selected dish made from the best oysters, chosen based on their size and appearance. The oysters are raised using the single-seed cultivation method learned from Australia, and they are slowly nurtured with care in Akkeshi. Although small, the oysters were rich and creamy, not too heavy. When paired with whisky, the deliciousness doubled. The Oyster and Shiitake Mushroom Pangratan was also delicious and warming. Akkeshi is known for its mushrooms as well, with the famous brand "Kyokutake." Of course, this dish included Kyokutake mushrooms. The combination of firm oysters, shiitake mushrooms, and bread in the gratin created an indescribable harmony. This was... delicious!! My body was warm, I enjoyed the oysters, and overall, it was a fantastic meal. Thank you for the delicious food! 🌟

The view from the seat is amazing at "Oyster Bar Pitoresque". The atmosphere is very nice. The white wine steamed oysters for 650 yen are incredibly delicious, packed with flavor from being steamed in white wine. The oyster pizza for 1480 yen is also delicious, with the richness and flavor of the oysters complementing the cheese and crust perfectly. I've never been so impressed by a pizza before. I thoroughly enjoyed indulging in the oysters and left very satisfied. "Concierge" is wonderful. I definitely want to come back. Thank you for the meal.

I rented a car from Kushiro and drove to Akkeshi. We arrived at a rest stop called Akkeshi Gourmet Park. It was around 4 pm and we decided to have lunch there. We ordered Oyster and Sea Urchin Risotto, Oyster Pizza, and an extra Oyster. The food was delicious and the oysters were fresh and tasty. Despite the heavy rain outside, we enjoyed our meal inside the cozy rest stop. The risotto was rich and creamy, and the pizza had a generous amount of oysters on top. We were impressed by the quality of the food, especially considering the reasonable prices. Even though it was a rainy day, we had a great dining experience and would love to come back on a sunny day. Thank you for the delicious meal, Akkeshi Gourmet Park!

13th stop on my Hokkaido trip in 2022! It's finally the last day of my trip, and I took the Kushiro to Nemuro Line to #Akashich to visit #Eauruko, the #fishery cooperative direct sales store I was looking forward to. Unfortunately, due to the impact of COVID-19, the eat-in area was closed. However, the souvenirs were fresh and reasonably priced, so I recommend them! Moving on, I went to #Concierge, the #Akashich station, and visited #Picturesque, an oyster bar on the second floor. The highlight here is, of course, the #fresh oysters. They offer three varieties: #Maruemon, #Kakiemon, and the slightly more luxurious #Gold Kakiemon. The prices are 250 yen, 300 yen, and 350 yen respectively, which is quite reasonable. They also have a combination set with two of each type for 1500 yen for 6 pieces. In addition to oysters, they also serve gratin, pasta, pizza, and other dishes. However, we focused on enjoying the fresh oysters! They have a variety of drinks available, but I recommend trying #Akashich whiskey with the oysters. They also offer tasting sets, which I think can be quite enjoyable for one person. The view of Akashich town from the restaurant is beautiful, so I highly recommend visiting. Thank you for the delicious meal! #Tabelog #Ron2941 #Foodie #LoveAlcohol #LoveBarHopping

I was recommended by the owner of Tempura Sakura in Kushiro to visit a Italian bar on the 2nd floor of Michi-no-Eki Conchirie. We followed the guide and arrived at Conchirie. We arrived at the opening at 11am and sat at the counter seats, enjoying a meal with my wife. We ordered a platter of 3 types of fresh oysters - Maruemon, Kakieemon, and Kin no Kakieemon, each with 2 pieces for 1,600 yen. We also ordered clams and oysters in garlic sauce, oyster steak, and fried oysters. The fresh oysters were so delicious that we had to order another plate. The oysters from Akkeshi tasted amazing here. The freshness definitely makes a difference in taste. The lively flavor is evident in the sweetness and refreshing taste. The oysters from Akkeshi in Tokyo are also delicious, but the ones here are even better. It's truly a great experience. By the way, if you take a taxi here instead of driving, you can enjoy Akkeshi whiskey. Drinking Akkeshi whiskey distilled with peat while eating Akkeshi oysters is something I'd like to try someday.

One of the main purposes of this trip was to "eat oysters in Akkeshi". Ever since watching the Akkeshi episode of the popular local Hokkaido TV show "Bugiugi Senmu", I had been longing to visit. In the show, they featured a shop called Pitoresuku where you can enjoy whisky from the Akkeshi Distillery and oysters. I tried to make a reservation through a booking service in advance, but was told it was fully booked. However, when I inquired on the day of, they said, "We are not accepting reservations during Golden Week, so please come directly." Hey! It's not fully booked after all! I arrived at the shop 10 minutes before opening and was the fourth group in line, so I was able to enter without any issues. Thanks to that, I was able to sit at the counter with a great view overlooking Akkeshi Bay. I was so happy to be able to sit in this seat with a wonderful view! As for where to eat oysters, there is a fishery direct sales shop (E-au Loco) about a 15-minute walk from Akkeshi, but due to the influence of the coronavirus, eating in was suspended. So, if you want to eat, you can go to Conclerie (strictly speaking, there may be other sales points). - Set of Akkeshi Distillery whisky and 3 fresh oysters Maruemon. The price varies depending on the whisky. - Oyster gratin - Smoked oysters - Steamed oysters - Oyster & chips, etc. The oysters are just huge!!! The size of the shells alone is different. The meat is also big and firm. The fresh oysters had no fishy smell at all and were incredibly delicious. These are the best fresh oysters I've ever had. Maruemon is amazing. The marriage with whisky is also wonderful. Akkeshi's branded oysters are outstanding. The Akkeshi Distillery whisky is also not easy to find elsewhere, so this bar has a high added value. It's only an hour from Kushiro, so if you're traveling to Kushiro, be sure to visit Akkeshi! Highly recommended.

On the way to Kushiro, we stopped by a roadside station. The first floor had a shop with various souvenirs and a shop selling light meals, while the second floor had three dining establishments. As we were in Akkeshi, known for its oysters, we decided to have a snack. There were various dishes made with oysters, but we ordered the two types where we could enjoy the taste of the oysters themselves: "Kakie Mon" and "Marue Mon". Kakie Mon had a strong flavor, while Marue Mon had a gentle and fluffy texture. If you want to enjoy oysters easily in Akkeshi, this is the place to go!

When I visit Konkirie during my drive to Akkeshi, I often stop by for lunch at the various restaurants. This time, I decided to dine at the bar. My husband and I shared the oyster carbonara and fried oysters. The carbonara was more like a milk soup pasta. I guess it turned into carbonara once we mixed in the soft-boiled egg. When in Akkeshi, you have to have fried oysters! And as expected, freshly fried oysters are delicious!

I made a stop during my drive in eastern Hokkaido and decided to try the oysters in Akkeshi since I was there. I enjoyed them at the roadside station, where you can order even just one dish. It's a very reasonable place. Eating fresh oysters while looking out at the night view of Akkeshi was a memorable experience.

In the evening, I went to Conkiere in Akkeshi. It was a bit of an odd time, but I was in the mood for oysters, so I headed to the Oyster Bar Pitoresque on the second floor. It's a place where you can enjoy the marriage of oysters and whiskey. I ordered a set of three maruoemon oysters and a glass of Ardbeg, a Scottish whiskey, for 1500 yen. It looked amazing! The fresh oysters were delicious. The whiskey had a fantastic smoky aroma, and I felt really happy. Additional oysters were only 250 yen each, which is unbelievably cheap compared to Tokyo. My friend who loves clams ordered the wine-steamed clams.

I stayed at a nearby inn and visited the restaurant at night. It has the best location with a view of the night scenery. When I entered, I was the only customer, probably because it was a weeknight. I tried fresh oysters, steamed oysters, and garlic shrimp. I've always avoided oysters because I was afraid of getting a bad one, so this was only my second time trying them. The steamed oysters were especially delicious, and I ended up getting seconds. The garlic shrimp had a miso-like flavor with olive oil, which was tasty but a bit different from what I expected from garlic shrimp. The restaurant is stylish, but it's a shame that there are few inns nearby, making it less accessible. Perhaps not many people stop by because the driver can't drink alcohol. Thank you for the meal.

I don't drink whiskey, but when it comes to Akkeshi Town, it's all about Conquilier. Instead of eating, we mainly went for the chatting, so we headed to the bar. They offer individual dishes, so it's a good place to visit when you're not very hungry. They have counter and table seats, but I recommend the counter. You can enjoy a view of Akkeshi Town from there! It's great to have a drink at night while looking out over the town. This time, we ordered Oyster Chips for 800 yen. They were crispy. It would have been nice if they had given a few more chips, as there were only three. Thank you for the meal!

I chose "shibomu" as the correct answer. "Oyster Pearl Pitoresque" is a local JR station on weekends, traveling on the Kushiro Line. The destination is Kushiro, but after getting off at Kushiro, you have to transfer to go to Akkeshi. It seems like it's lunchtime in Akkeshi. When we boarded the JR train, my wife started drinking beer. Even though she recommended it to me, I decided to wait until lunchtime. I hugged my wife tightly as she enjoyed the beer, not out of affection, but out of envy. A couple who got on the train from Shari sat behind us. Soon, the smell of curry started filling the air. What? Are they going to eat curry on the train? It smells so good... This is so local. Beer is being drunk next to us, and curry is being eaten behind us. What a way to start the journey. The Akkeshi Michi-no-Eki is far to walk to, but since my wife made it the destination, we'll be walking. It seemed far to me, as I have only ever come by car. My wife is grateful to JR. While choosing from the menu, I order a beer. The Classic beer tastes good, maybe because it's lunchtime. "Akkeshi NEW BORN Name Oyster 3-piece set" and "Maruemon" taste salty, but delicious. "Benten oyster" has a nice crunchy texture. "Kakiemon" is somewhere in between, but all of them are delicious. I don't put lemon on any of them. "Oyster, Tsukubu, and Shiitake Vegetable Ajillo" - I like oysters, but only from certain regions and in certain dishes. I don't eat oysters soba, oyster rice, or something like Ajillo. However, the ingredients in this dish are delicious. The oil is not that great, and there's not much garlic or spiciness. So, dipping bread in the oil doesn't work. But the oil with the essence of the shellfish is good, even though I only need one piece. The miso is a bit annoying. My wife likes it. It's like using miso instead of garlic, but I would have preferred more garlic. The oysters in the Ajillo may have been the least good. "Kaki Pacho" - a slightly playful menu name, but surprisingly delicious. Well, they all rely on the ingredients. They say the sauce is delicious, but it may be the richness that brings out the ingredients. My wife ordered the most expensive whiskey. Just smelling it makes you feel rich. It's rich, but in a good way. Akkeshi whiskey is very expensive but delicious. It turned out to be surprisingly good. There's no special feeling, but it's a road station, so it was enjoyable. The 90-degree panoramic counter and three table seats are nice. The plump old lady and the kind young man are good people. There isn't much interaction, but the BGM is American pop music. It was fun. There are two other shops on the second floor, so I wanted to stay longer, but eating too much would ruin the enjoyment, so we decided to move on.

From Kushiro to Akkeshi, it takes 45 minutes by train. I recommend the shop inside the Akkeshi Taste Terminal Conkiere at the Michi no Eki Akkeshi for those who want to enjoy creative oyster dishes with Akkeshi-produced brandy and wine. This time, I only used the cafe because I ate a lot inside Conkiere. There are power outlets and Wi-Fi available. New York cheesecake & coffee for 500 yen. The cheesecake has a subtle sea breeze flavor, and it goes well with coffee. Getting a set for a coin is a good deal. Thank you for the meal.

A tour to visit the Akkeshi Distillery starts from the third-sector Michi-no-Eki "Conquille" where this shop is located. The tour includes a tasting here at the end, with a 1000 yen voucher for use in this shop. In addition to the tasting set, we also added a comparison of fresh oysters and two more types of Akkeshi Distillery's "Newborn" (whiskey aged under 3 years). We also ordered an oyster pizza. The oysters were all delicious and satisfying. It was great to be able to taste all varieties of Akkeshi Distillery's Newborn. If you can drink alcohol and are in Akkeshi, I recommend stopping by. Since it is a Michi-no-Eki, you'll need to take a bus or taxi to get there to enjoy the drinks! 😉

It's a 10-minute walk from Akkeshi Station. This shop is located in a roadside station, but it has a nice atmosphere with zero feeling of being at a roadside station. We arrived around 13:00 and had to wait for about 20 minutes to get in. We first ordered whiskey poured over fresh oysters. It seems to be common in Scotland, but it's rare to find it in Japan. It was very delicious. The smoky aroma of the whiskey helps to mask the strong taste of the oysters. Next, we ordered oyster risotto. The taste of the local milk and cheese was very rich. The oysters were cooked perfectly. It was very delicious. We paired it with red wine. It was a very good restaurant.

I felt like eating oysters and visited a shop located in a Michi-no-Eki in Akkeshi. The shop was known for Akkeshi oysters and Akkeshi whiskey. Since I visited during lunchtime, I ordered the lunch special oyster curry set. It came with cheese curry, salad, and soup, and was quite cost-effective. I also wanted to try raw oysters, so I ordered them separately. I really wanted to order whiskey as well, but the access was not very convenient, and since it was a Michi-no-Eki, I visited by car this time and had to give up on the whiskey. Next time, I would like to go there using the train.

At the Michi-no-Eki in Akkeshi Town, there is a bar called Oyster Bar where you can enjoy various types of oysters. And the highlight is Akkeshi Whiskey, which Akkeshi is proud of. Akkeshi Whiskey is often sold out quickly, making it hard to get your hands on. Enjoying oysters while sipping on whiskey was a truly luxurious experience.
