The friendly staff made me want to make a purchase without hesitation. Everyone at the outdoor market is so nice. The salmon and crab from the chili oil series that I bought as a souvenir are incredibly delicious!

Upon a quick glance around the store, I definitely felt that the seafood items were overpriced. The staff were eager to offer samples and since there were not many customers, their enthusiasm to make a sale was evident. I had already declared that I wouldn't be buying any crabs, but even items like sea urchin and salmon roe were quite expensive. They tried to convince me to buy a combination of two seafood items at a certain price, but the more they pushed, the less inclined I was to make a purchase. In the midst of this, I came across an original product from Matsumoto Souvenir. They had three types of curry - beef tongue curry, octopus curry, and scallop curry. Since beef tongue curry wasn't seafood, I excluded that and opted for the scallop curry, which seemed like the safest choice. This retort pouch curry cost me 650 yen. I wondered if it was really worth that price. It seemed to use Hokkaido scallops, but upon inspecting the ingredients, there didn't seem to be any special features. While the quality of Hokkaido scallops used is unknown, even if it was being sold at 380 yen in a souvenir shop, I would still have hesitated to buy it. The taste was mediocre. The curry flavor was too ordinary. This product was not even listed on Matsumoto Souvenir's online shop, called the "Seafood Market." ☆☆☆Next Episode Preview☆☆☆ At the Sapporo Central Wholesale Market Outdoor Market, finding a good deal is tough, and I'll buy what I want, but...

I explored the Sapporo Nijo Market and enjoyed tasting various Hokkaido specialties. After having seafood bowls at a nearby seafood restaurant called Yangshu, I looked for a place to have dessert and found this shop. The chilled cut melon in the showcase caught my eye, priced at 200 yen including tax. The energetic staff member was managing the shop alone, and it seemed like they mainly offer Yubari melons during the summer. Other shops were selling 1/8 cut melons for around 400-500 yen, but the portion was quite large, making it difficult to try other foods afterwards. However, this shop offered a smaller portion for half the price, which was just right. The taste was excellent, with soft and juicy melon at a very reasonable price. They also recommended melons as souvenirs, but since I had other places to visit and couldn't bring them back in a rental car, I politely declined. I would love to buy Yubari melons as souvenirs if I have the chance in the future. Thank you for the delicious meal.

While exploring the Sapporo outdoor market, we came across this shop at the entrance. Before we knew it, my wife and kids, along with my mother and sister, were sampling cut melon, king crab, and snow crab legs. We ended up buying a king crab after the friendly staff offered us a good deal. It was delicious, but the real highlight of this shop is the side dishes they sell. From Matsumae pickles to squid shiokara, sea urchin, and squid rice, the selection of snacks to accompany your drinks is top-notch. We didn't have a single disappointing item. We enjoyed these treats at home, reminiscing about our time in Hokkaido.

The shop is located at the edge of the off-market market. If the North Gourmet Pavilion is considered the entrance to the off-market market, this shop is located towards the exit. There are only a few reviews for shops that handle seafood, such as Sato Shokuhin and North Gourmet, so I will review this shop. Next to it is the affiliated restaurant, Hokkaido Shun. In recent years, the Sapporo off-market market seems to have become a market for tourists, and since the seafood I wanted was out of season, I was a little hesitant, but I decided to buy souvenirs. It was a blizzard, so I decided to walk around within walking distance, and the shop owner recommended me to try some samples. Although I wasn't in the best condition to eat after a meal, I was offered samples of crab and crab soup. After that, I was recommended to "reduce the price of the crab," but I wanted sea urchin, salmon roe, and hokke fish, so I asked if they could be cheaper. The answer was, "I can't make it cheaper than this because it's already cheap, but I guarantee the taste." It was a bit higher than the market price I had researched in advance, but it seems to be cheaper within this market. (There were even cheaper hokke fish at the opposite Hokkaido Fishing Ground No. 1 store...) I believed the words of the shop owner and purchased saltwater sea urchin, homemade soy sauce-marinated salmon roe 100g, and extra-large striped hokke from Rebun Island. <Impressions of the purchased items> I purchased saltwater sea urchin for the first time to experience the original taste of sea urchin. I could taste the sweetness and melting texture of sea urchin, but I felt that it was too refreshing and lacked the rich, creamy taste I was expecting. Personally, I prefer the richness of bafun sea urchin... The salmon roe was delicious. The hokke fish was unusually large and thick, but due to the timing, it was light and bland in taste. If you prefer impact, the striped hokke is fine, but if you prefer taste, it may be better to stick with the true hokke...

I was attracted to the Hokkaido melons displayed at the store, even though sushi ingredients like ikura and other seafood were also tempting. They weren't that expensive, so I bought one to share with a friend who loves melons. The flesh was rich and delicious.
