It's been a while since I had a drinking party with my colleagues, and this restaurant is my number one choice for a charcoal grill. The hokke and scallops are especially delicious. After eating the hokke, they grill the bones and skin on charcoal again to make it crispy. For the scallops, it's recommended to add rice to the leftover broth, along with salmon belly, green peas, and shishamo. Even in the hot weather, the beer goes down smoothly while sweating. Thank you for the careful work of the chef working alone. Thank you for the meal - I will definitely come back. Goodbye!

The best salmon collar! The saury and shellfish were too delicious. A must-visit restaurant where you can indulge in a luxurious robatayaki experience. The rice cooked in scallop broth is irresistibly tasty. The salmon is so juicy, it's unbelievable. If you want to eat seafood, this is the place to go!

One of the restaurants I often visit when on a business trip to Hokkaido is Coco Rotebari Yaki Kani Sen. I recommend it to those who are visiting Hokkaido for the first time. Because you can fully enjoy a meal that is almost exactly what you would expect from Hokkaido. The location may be a bit difficult to find, but please try your best to find it because delicious food awaits you. It may be hard to tell from the photos, but a large salmon is carefully grilled over charcoal and served hot and fluffy. It's amazing. The hokke (Okhotsk Atka mackerel) is also of impressive size, with delicious fatty meat. When eating hokke, leave some meat behind. After you finish, the old man will grill it again on the net so you can enjoy it without leaving any behind, like bone chips. And scallops! These are also amazing. Grilled carefully over charcoal and served at the best time to eat. Be careful not to spill the scallop juice at this time! The old man will collect the remaining juice along with the scallop shells, warm it up on the net, then put rice inside the scallop and top it with butter. This is really delicious. A place where a cheerful old man creates a fun atmosphere and where Hokkaido's seafood is served in the most delicious way. That's what this restaurant is all about. If you like, please try going there once. I would rate this place 4.8 stars.

Eating seafood around the hearth is not only a great atmosphere, but the taste is also amazing. Whenever friends from outside Hokkaido visit, I always take them there. I highly recommend the salmon belly and scallops!

The robatayaki!! Almost half a side of salmon belly!!

The seafood grilled on the hearth was delicious, especially the scallops. Putting rice in the leftover broth was also tasty. Both the Atka mackerel and the whelk were delicious. Thank you for the meal - I will definitely come back again.

The grilled dishes are delicious! The restaurant is messy, but the food is great.

Visited the restaurant for a farewell party. I easily found it as I had checked the exterior of the restaurant in advance using this service. If you don't do your homework, you might get a little lost because the sign is hard to see. While eating the complimentary simmered fish roe, the chef started grilling surf clam. Watching the surf clam cook to perfection, he then placed a half side of salmon on the grill with a bang. After the perfectly seasoned surf clam was done, he added some shrimp that looked delicious even as sashimi. With the surf clam and shrimp done, the salmon was ready. We enjoyed the salmon meat and then grilled the skin on the grill again! It was so good! We enjoyed the crispy salmon skin and finished with butter-grilled scallops. Oh, don't forget to leave some soup behind. After finishing the meal, we put rice in the empty shells, placed them back on the grill, and made some delicious butter rice with scallop essence. The restaurant has a wild vibe, but what stands out is how incredibly clean the restroom is. That's a big plus, right?

I stayed in Chitose on a business trip. I stayed at a business hotel which was convenient as it was only a 5-minute walk away. The exterior and interior of the restaurant were not particularly beautiful, but it was almost full when I arrived at 6 o'clock and there was a lot of smoke inside. The owner was running the place alone, so the service was a bit slow, but his friendly personality made it tolerable. I ordered salmon, flounder, steamed oysters in sake, and king crab, and enjoyed some appetizers while waiting. The first dish to arrive was the steamed oysters, which was served in a large portion. Next came the salmon, flounder, and then the crab, all of which were delicious. What's interesting about this place is that once you finish the salmon, they will crisp up the skin and serve it to you again. The same goes for the flounder, where they will crisp up the bones and serve them to you. We didn't order it, but I noticed that they also crisp up the scallops after you finish eating them, adding an extra layer of flavor. When I asked the owner about these hidden menu items, he shared them with me, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. This is a restaurant that I definitely want to visit again.

A few years ago, I was excited to see that the restaurant's chaotic atmosphere had not changed at all. I visited with three colleagues from my company and we wandered around until we finally found it. Despite the fact that many places are closed on Monday nights, this restaurant was quite busy with a group of eight, a family, a couple, and us. We started with a toast with beer and were served chilled tofu and simmered turban shell as appetizers. We ordered a half of trout salmon for 3000 yen, along with what seemed to be smelt and scallops. The trout salmon was incredibly flavorful, especially the belly meat. The smelt was delicious, even though I was convinced that the best ones come from Murakawa. The butter-grilled scallops were also amazing. We mixed the remaining soy sauce marinade and butter with rice and toasted it over a far-infrared heat, which was unbelievably delicious. We washed it all down with Hokkaido sake and left satisfied. I wonder if I should have a drink in Aomori tomorrow... September 6th revisit: This time, we made a reservation for 9 people before visiting. There seemed to be a party set menu or something, as the amount of food served was overwhelming. We started with charcoal-grilled flounder, one portion per person, and it was a great start to the feast. We poured ourselves draft beer and shochu from the server and enjoyed it with the flounder. We even ate the grilled flounder bones. The grilled surf clam was not commonly found locally, but it was delicious. The salt-grilled shrimp was firm and tasty. The smelt and scallops were just as delicious as last time. I definitely want to come back again.

Whenever I go to Chitose, I always visit the robatayaki restaurant "Kani Sen". They serve fresh, natural oysters piled high, which you open with a knife and eat. Their butter-grilled scallops are delicious, with the scallop meat cooked on the shell with soy sauce and butter. After eating the scallops, I recommend adding rice to the remaining sauce and grilling it again to enjoy. Finally, I recommend trying their hand-made soba noodles, which are delicious. The restaurant may be a bit shabby, but it has a cozy atmosphere and the owner is a nice person.

As the name suggests, this restaurant specializes in charcoal-grilled seafood dishes. They offer a variety of fish such as hokke and silver cod, as well as shellfish like scallops and scallops, grilled over charcoal right in front of you. The fish dishes in particular are very generous in portion size, with just ordering hokke being enough to fill you up. Since it's a charcoal grill restaurant, there may be ash and splattering oil or juice, so it's best to wear casual clothes that you don't mind getting dirty. The second floor is set up for parties, with seating around four grills and able to accommodate around 25 people. The interior is not particularly clean, but many fans seem to appreciate the affordable and tasty seafood. This restaurant might be a hit or miss depending on personal preference, but the generous portions and delicious flavors earn it three stars. It may not be my personal favorite type of restaurant, but it's worth a visit to try it out.

At first glance, it may seem intimidating to enter, but once inside, it's bustling with locals. I was treated to a feast based on a local recommendation, and I was blown away by the atmosphere and seafood. It seems like an older man runs the place single-handedly. The rough customer service and good conversation had everyone gathered around the hearth having a great time. Regardless of the atmosphere, the amount of seafood is incredible... From the first dish, the richness and size of the salmon is overwhelming. (It's impossible, right? This amount... must be a mistake??) A huge half of a salmon is placed in front of me, and before I can finish it, a wave of steamed oysters and surf clams are served. As I devour those, even more large shrimp and shishamo keep coming, one after another. Then, a big, juicy grilled scallop is brought out, and as I'm enjoying the scallop meat, they say, "Save some of the broth to make risotto with rice." Ahh, the scallops are so juicy that the broth overflows! Risotto from this broth! Sounds great! I'm already full though (laughs) but carbs are inevitable. I ate so much seafood that I felt like I never want to eat seafood again for a while. There doesn't seem to be a wide variety of drinks, but for those who love seafood and want a hearty meal, or want to introduce a Hokkaido-like restaurant, this place can make a strong impression. Despite not looking like it from the outside, the toilet facilities are well-maintained and clean, surprising considering the contrast with the interior. This means it should be fine for women to visit. Personally, I'm not a big fan of seafood, so the high hurdle was a bit challenging for me. It was delicious, but be prepared as the menu is heavily focused on seafood with no meat options.

When dining in Chitose, I always make sure to visit this place. The exterior of the restaurant has a wild look, which may make some people hesitant to enter. Inside, there are strange objects received from fishermen in Nemuro, a half-hearted grilling area, and tables that have become cleaner over time due to customers wiping them. However, the restroom is clean and suitable for women. The clientele may seem rough due to the appearance of the restaurant, but most of them are decent individuals. In fact, I have even had drinks with airplane pilots, and it seems that flight attendants also visit sometimes. The tables can seat about 12 people, with two grilling spaces in the middle. The beverage options are draft beer or shochu, with the popular choice being a bottle of Kuro Kirishima shochu. Mixers include soda and oolong tea. The grilled items vary, with options like salmon, Atka mackerel, and sablefish. Shellfish such as scallops and scallops were available, as well as potatoes. The grilling method is simple - the fish is placed on the grill and cooked. Despite the straightforward cooking process, the food is surprisingly delicious. Since there is only one chef, it may take some time to prepare dishes like shellfish, so it's best to order them early. While I personally enjoy the casual atmosphere of the restaurant, some people may find it frustrating. Scallops and scallops are grilled with butter and soy sauce, and they taste great when mixed with rice. After eating the fish meat, grilling the bones and skin slowly on the grill is also delicious. If you're sharing a table with a different group, it's polite to ask before doing this. The air conditioning is not the best, so it can get smoky when there are fish on both grills. However, this can be improved by slightly opening the entrance door. Despite all this, it's best not to dress too fancy when visiting. Everyone has different tastes, but if you find yourself in Chitose, I recommend giving this place a try.

Fresh Hokkaido seafood in a restaurant with generous portions. The chef is also entertaining (laughs). Forgot to take a picture of the scallops, but the rice in the broth after eating them is delicious too.
