I couldn't buy shako in Asahikawa, so I went to Danoya Shoten, a seafood store in Ishikari, hoping to find it. Although they didn't have shako, the selection here is amazing. They have a wide variety of dried goods, with rare delicacies from all over Hokkaido. The variety of snacks is also impressive. My partner works at a supermarket, but even they haven't seen some of the snacks here, so they were studying them intently. They have a rich variety of vegetables and the side dishes are quite good too. Of course, the fresh fish selection includes local fish and shellfish. In the end, I bought fresh cherry salmon, fried food, and nuts. The cherry salmon is cheap and has an amazing amount of fat at this time of year, so it's excellent. I will definitely visit again when I'm in Ishikari. On a side note, the label on the side dish pack said "Seafood Curry Croquette" and "Herring Fry." However, the contents were actually "Seafood Cream Croquette" and "Salmon Fry" instead. I actually like this kind of quirky aspect of this shop (laughs).

Visited "Tanno Shoten" on March 18th. Last visit was on December 24, 2022. This is my first visit this year. I always come here to buy seafood, dried goods, and dried fish. Today's main purpose was to buy "salmon flakes". My daughter requested me to buy "engawa" as well. They offer a variety of items depending on the season, making it fun to browse around. Today's rare items (didn't buy, sorry): - Gokko (male 350 yen, female 500 yen): Sometimes seen in supermarkets, but only for a short time. Unlike the dissected version, here they sell the whole fish. It's quite a task to dissect it, but gokko can be used almost entirely when made into soup. However, my wife vetoed this idea... too bad. - Hakkaku (small 300 yen, large 350 yen): Also occasionally seen in supermarkets, but this hakkaku is quite large. It's also quite affordable. But I always think it's hard to fillet... The usual way is "sliced into three pieces", but due to the shape of hakkaku, a lot of meat would be wasted, so they call it "daimyo cut". The first time I had it was grilled hakkaku. In the summer, when it's in season, we usually grill it at a camp, but it's a bit cold in Hokkaido in the early spring. - Kakashi bread from Okameya (370 yen): I was surprised to see bread from Okameya being sold here, and it was my first time meeting Baguette-chan on the bag. I think they didn't give me a bag when I bought it at Okameya... Was the bag sold separately? I heard that "Nijusan-ya Coffee Shop" near my house also sells it, so I used it once. Today's purchases: - Salmon flakes (1530 yen, 1350 yen): Sold by weight, but the unit price is unknown. I should have weighed it at home. We marinated it and had it for dinner, it was delicious. - Engawa (400 yen): Price and size-wise, it's a flounder. I've had it before, but this time it has less fat. I think this amount is just right and delicious. The crunchy texture and oily taste are exquisite. - Salmon scraps (450 yen): I forgot to take a picture, but I bought salmon scraps. We made miso soup with them at home. I still don't know if salmon eyeballs are delicious... Are they tasty? They're too hard. - Kazuchii (380 yen each, bought 3): Last time I visited, Kazuchii was also sold at 380 yen, and I thought it was a clearance price. But today, it's the same price, and it even has a fourth-anniversary version on the package. In other stores, it's over 500 yen, so why can they offer it at such a low price? I bought 3 packages as souvenirs for my daughter. The reason there are only 2 packages in the picture is because my wife ate one (laughs). There were also items like Matachi (small 650 yen, large 1200 yen), Hairy Crabs (3300 yen), and Hokkai Shrimp (2500 yen) that I didn't buy, but I was really torn about it. Thank you for the meal.

I visited "Tanno Shoten" on December 24th. I usually visit this place when I want to buy a large quantity of seafood, dried goods, and dried fish. They also have a section for fishing gear, but I wonder if people who go fishing actually use it? Interestingly, they also sell meat for BBQ at the nearby Ishikari Beach (Dream Beach). My kids used to dislike the smell of fish when they were young (laughs). The prices here are quite affordable. Towards the back, they sell fish like flounder, sablefish, octopus, and fluke either per piece or in boxes. I haven't bought much from this section as I'm not skilled at filleting fish, so I usually go for scallops, clams, or pre-cut "kasube." Depending on the season, they also have items like anglerfish sold per piece. Towards the front, they have sliced sashimi and dried fish on display. They also have frozen hair crabs at low prices. By the way, the price of hair crabs varies based on quality, so the more expensive ones are usually tastier. Despite being considered expensive, they are still cheaper compared to other stores. Today, I found a pack of "tuna bloodline" for 250 yen... I wonder how to eat that? It's quite rare as it doesn't usually appear in regular markets. They also have "engawa" and "tsubu" for 400 yen and 480 yen per pack. My main purpose today was to buy salmon bloodline, but I also found "Hokkaishima shrimp" in the sashimi section. I had to buy it. It came in two sizes, large for 3300 yen and small for 1650 yen. Since there were only three of us today, I opted for the smaller size. A nearby store was selling a similar quantity of Hokkaishima shrimp for 3866 yen... but the size of the shrimp was noticeably larger and more consistent in the city stores. There is a difference between "shima shrimp" and "Hokkaishima shrimp." Both are rare outside of Hokkaido. Personally, I prefer "Hokkaishima shrimp," but it's all about personal preference. It depends on availability and price. Overall, I enjoyed my meal. The main highlight today was the salmon bloodline. Please refer to the photos for the cut and volume. We enjoyed it at home as sashimi and in a marinade. The sizes and quality may vary, but they offer unique items at reasonable prices. Thank you for the meal.

Today is a clear autumn day. I invited my grandparents and went for a drive towards Ishikari. We decided to make a detour to Danoshoji, a place I had always been curious about but never visited. It's amazing. They have fresh fish, dried fish, and dried goods! It's hard to decide with so many options. There were a lot of customers there. We decided to have seafood bowls for dinner tonight! We bought tuna, salmon roe, and sashimi. The lady at the store recommended the dried herring that came in today, so we bought that too! Before we knew it, we also had salmon roe and dried salmon in our basket! Tonight, we'll have them with some sake.

Yes! The start of the Seals' Holiday Club! I was thinking of going to Northern Farm for a relaxing day once we leave the hotel, but... Oh? Would you like to go to Rumoi together for a bit? In that case, I'll take the passenger seat, please♪ By the way, it's my first time in Rumoi, but this road seems familiar... Look! Sato Suisan Salmon Factory! That means we should make a quick stop at Tanno Shoten♪ It's like a convenience store along the national highway that sells everything from seafood to daily goods! I bought some salmon flakes here before, but maybe we should get some crab this time! Oh, no, I prefer cooked food... So, here we go! Scallop meat! There are white and red ones, but they are the same kind! Just like salmon, the color comes from what they eat! The red scallops prefer red pigments! Some say it's rare, but it's the same price here! Thick and large scallop meat! Looks high quality for the price! 950 yen for 100 grams is surprising! But we still have to wait for the alcohol... Let's have one piece in the car! Wow, it's flavorful with a firm texture and lots of umami! It's slowly coming out! It's the season for autumn salmon too, and they had fresh salmon roe, so I would have made ikura if I had a grill! Anyway, let's head to Rumoi while enjoying this delicious scallop meat! The roadside Sekoma is nice, but in the Ishikari area along National Route 231, Tanno Shoten is a must-visit!

[Danno Shoten] When you feel like getting some dried goods... this is the place to go! They have classic items like dried salmon, dried octopus, and dried scallops. Have you ever seen sweetened shiokara or dried cod before? They sometimes have hidden gems, so it's always fun to visit. And their sashimi is affordable too! A platter with 4 types (including medium fatty tuna) is only 680 yen. If you can prepare it yourself, there are plenty of great deals to be found. The only downside is that my fridge is small, so I can only buy a limited amount.

You can buy seafood and dried goods here. The selection at the fish market in the back is excellent. The Alaskan king crab is quite cheap. A 5L size shoulder was 5800 yen, with each size down being 1000 yen cheaper. I bought the 5L size and it was very satisfying. A similar item at a nearby factory was almost 10,000 yen. The sashimi platter is also affordable. Live scallops are 880 yen for 4 pieces. Russian button shrimp are 680 yen for 5 pieces. They also sell fruits and vegetables at the entrance. There is a wide variety of dried goods available for souvenirs. It's hard to decide what to look at first.

I wanted to buy some living creatures since I came all the way here, but I was a little worried because I didn't have a cooler box, so I only bought dried goods. The total was 4450 yen, and I could only pay with cash.

Now, on the way back from Ishikari. This recommended shop by Ashika! Huh? The exterior has a drive-in atmosphere, but the interior is... a supermarket? There seem to be more locals than tourists! And what Ashika is buying is crab! Huh? Huh? Hair crabs for 500 yen!!! A large 800-gram class with scratches for 1000 yen!!! Even Hanasaki crabs for under 1000 yen!!! By the way, Ashika is planning to make miso soup with the hair crab... Oh, what a luxurious miso soup! Ashika won't be invited to your home... Not invited, huh... Moving on, Ashika bought some salmon flakes as souvenirs! Purchased from Salmon Flake Ichiro! Is this the Ichiro of the salmon flake world? Huh? The Ichiro of the enka world, you say? Well, it's unclear if he's officially recognized, but it's a bit more expensive compared to other salmon flakes! Let's try it at home right away! Here we go! Salmon! Toba Ichiro! Life's flakes between the waves~♪ Blooming side by side~♪ Made using only male salmon from Hokkaido, carefully deboned and skinned, the large slices have a soft texture and a good taste! The skin is neatly removed since it's hard to chew, which is nice! And when you eat it, it has a soft firmness and a good flavor! It really goes well with beer! Ashika's certified Ichiro of the salmon flake world!

8/2018 Sashimi Set for 580 yen. It's a bit less than a 40-minute drive from central Sapporo to Sato Suisan in Ishikari Shinko. It's a bit further than the morning market, but I recommend this place too. They have a great variety of delicacies and fish at very reasonable prices. Perfect for a side dish for drinks. The assorted sashimi set with bluefin tuna is only 580 yen, including salmon, yellowtail, and flounder. The cutting may be a bit rough, but the freshness is good. I was drawn to the "delicacy made by experts" claim and bought the salmon roe. This was a mistake... It was too salty to eat. I had to mix it with rice or potato salad to finish it. Thank you for the meal.

During my visit to the station in Tobetsu and Atsuma in July 2018, I stopped by on my way back. I had planned to make a quick visit to the Salmon Factory afterwards. Upon entering the store, I was amazed by the huge variety of dried goods. Perfect for a relaxing evening drink. As I made my way to the back, I came across a sashimi corner. The tuna looked incredibly delicious and the assorted sashimi was only 580 yen, which is quite cheap. However, it didn't quite match my preferences this time, so I resisted the temptation. But I am sure I will buy it next time. Further inside, there were boxed and weighed fresh fish for sale. The "morning squid" looked very fresh and was priced at 4,200 yen, which is a good deal. I hope this year's catch will be abundant. The "Gayu (Ezo rockfish)" was 680 yen for 2 pieces. It used to be an unwanted bycatch when fishing, but it tastes amazing when simmered. I have to make sure to revisit and buy this. The "tarako" was 300 yen, a good side dish for rice, but we don't eat much rice at home, so we use it for salads and as a side dish. The "tsubu wasabi pickles" was 250 yen, perfect for enjoying with sake, especially when combined with cheese. The "sukimi tara" was 530 yen, you can break it by hand and mix it with fresh cucumbers and cabbage seasoned with salt for a refreshing dish. I imitate the hidden gem of new pickles from the Sapporo Golf Club Rinko Course dining room. The "Hidaka-produced kelp powder" was 500 yen, great for adding to simmered dishes or making kelp tea. It's a convenient powder that also tastes delicious sprinkled over pasta. The market had so many options that it was hard to choose. It seems like the market is like the main store for the Nijuyonken Market, and the fact that they have such a variety of products here means that they do have customers coming in. Since it's not a casual place to visit, I will plan my next visit as a "shopping tour".

Today, I visited various places for regular check-ins. I wanted to eat soft serve ice cream, but it seems like everyone had the same idea because there were long lines everywhere. I decided to visit a bakery and then drove to Denno Shoten. They sell fishing gear, camping supplies, vegetables, and specialty foods. I bought some good-sized mackerel and flounder for cooking, and also purchased some tuna sashimi. The tuna had a few tough parts but was delicious. The flounder had a nice texture and was tasty with every bite. The mackerel was light and enjoyable. If you can clean fish, buying seasonal fish at this store is a great deal. It's also a good place to shop when you come back empty-handed from fishing trips (laughs). I will definitely visit again!

It's a holiday... I went for a drive and stopped by "Atsuta Michi no Eki" (I also visited during work the other day...) on the way back, I went to the popular "Tanno Shoten" store. They have a wide variety of products such as fresh fish, dried fish, dried goods, vegetables, fruits, sashimi, fillets, pickles, and more. No matter when I come, I always think that the vegetables and fish are cheap. The recommended items are sashimi and vegetables. On this day, the shrimp was cheap (10 female shrimps for 850 yen, 10 male shrimps for 680 yen). The surf clam was small, but 11 pieces cost 1,100 yen. The crab is cheap all year round, from small to large. The octopus was also cheap. The items I always buy here are seaweed, Matsumae pickles, and salmon roe. This time, I bought the usual "sashimi platter" with white fish, bluefin tuna, salmon, and amberjack for 580 yen, and bluefin tuna offcuts for 350 yen. I also bought watercress, daikon radish, cucumber, etc. The bluefin tuna offcuts may not reach the medium fatty tuna level, but the taste is amazing with the right amount of fat at this price. It would be great if there was a store like this closer by...

Today, I went on a drive to Ishikari because the weather was nice. It's been a while since I last visited! My father used to live in Ishikari, and we used to come to this shop often to buy things. As soon as you enter, you'll see a wide variety of dried foods. It's quite impressive! I think it's rare to find a shop with such a diverse selection. As you go further inside, you'll find a sashimi corner, and even further back, they sell fresh fish in boxes and baskets. Everything is so cheap! The sashimi set includes tuna, salmon, mackerel, and maybe yellowtail for 580 yen. It's amazing that it includes real tuna! The cutting isn't perfect, but the fish is fresh and delicious. The "tsubu" (not sure how many pieces) is packed full of flavor. I love the crunchy texture of fresh tsubu. The homemade salmon flakes, with a generous 150g portion, are perfect for rice balls. The scallop strings are my snack for the drive. My jaw is tired from chewing, but just looking at everything was enjoyable. I recommend checking it out! Thank you for the meal.

☆March 23, 2017☆ Visit Since coming out of Rumoi, I have been going to this store for 14 years to buy fish. "Tanno Shoten" sells a wide variety of items such as vegetables, fresh fish, sashimi, meat, dried seafood, processed seafood, smoked products, leisure goods, and fishing equipment. I have become good friends with the ladies at the fish section, and they sometimes give me discounts. This time, I bought Shima Hokke fillets for 750 yen, Matoudai fillets for 550 yen, and sashimi including bluefin tuna for 800 yen, salmon for 430 yen, and octopus for 180 yen. I also bought black rockfish for 850 yen and red flounder for 550 yen. The Shima Hokke fillets were almost 50 centimeters long from head to tail, and if you eat them at a Susukino izakaya, they would cost around 2500 to 3000 yen. The size, fat content, and texture were excellent, and they were delicious. The black rockfish was over 40 centimeters and perfect for sashimi with its sweetness, firm texture, and freshness. The red flounder was also delicious, as well as the bluefin tuna, salmon, and octopus. Sake goes down so easily with these. I appreciate that they let me touch and visually inspect the fish before buying. I have been fishing, so I like to choose and confirm for myself. I don't want to buy fish with poor freshness or lackluster fat content. The image this time is of the Hokke, which was too big for the fish grill, so I removed the head and tail. It was so big that it overflowed, so I forgot to take a picture of the red flounder. I have already filleted them and taken pictures in sashimi form. The sashimi photos are in the order of black rockfish, red flounder, bluefin tuna, salmon, and octopus from top left. The crab is also very cheap here. If you come to Sapporo for sightseeing, please come here by rental car! You can buy at half the price or less than at the wholesale market! Thank you for the meal.

In June 2016, I visited a restaurant located along the Orolon Line. Nearby, there is Satoh Suisan. The exterior looks old, and I have known about its existence for a while. Upon visiting, I found vegetables that seemed to have lost their freshness and were not suitable for sale. There were discounted items like potato chips, but they were small and past their expiration date. The prices were not as good as the supermarket's specials. Surprisingly, about half of the store is dedicated to delicacies, possibly for commercial use. As for the fish, some seemed to have good freshness, while others appeared to be freezer-burned and unappealing. I purchased scallops and octopus tempura from the side dish section near the register. The scallops were small but flavorful, and the octopus tempura was not too tough nor too soft. Overall, it was a satisfying meal. ✿ฺ(๑´ڡ`๑)✿ฺ.
