"I came to Sapporo alone and surprisingly arrived early, so I have some time before lunch. I thought about picking a place to eat before heading to a ramen shop. I know that the road conditions in Sapporo are quite tricky, so even though I know I don't have much time, I decided to stop at a place before going straight to the ramen shop. The reason is that the place I wanted to go to only serves until 11 am. When I arrived, the closing time was approaching quickly. The traffic at the intersection was heavy, and I had to wait at two traffic lights just to turn. I felt rushed, but in Sapporo, people from Obihiro would probably push the car in front to go faster. There are quite a few shops around, some already closed. The place I wanted to go to seemed a bit intimidating. It's better to target an open shop. I found a shop called Yamaki Kimura that was open. I ordered 'Nishin' (herring) from the older man at the shop. The younger man was on the phone, but eventually, everything went smoothly. Nishin costs 410 yen, which is not cheap but I like it because it's quite fatty. When I got home, I realized that the herring was not opened, but my wife told me it was supposed to be like that. So, I cooked it and it was delicious. I used to hate herring when I was a child, but now I love it so much that I buy it myself."

When it gets hot, the symptoms worsen, it is a designated rare disease by the country. Unfortunately, there is still no medicine that suits me. I had to take a break from work for the third time due to poor health, but I managed to make it to the opening of "Eating Too Much and Getting Fat Theater Act 4". I returned to work while consulting my health, but recently, the idea of ​​a short hospital stay has come up again. Likes and comments will be delayed, but I plan to visit no matter how long it takes. [January 2021] This is my 5th review, so I'll keep it light.

I have been slowly returning while consulting my health condition. Recently, the idea of another short hospital stay has come up.

In October 2015, I visited the Maruka Wholesale Center morning market. There were various shops inside, but I found the best deal on the hokke fish at this shop. When I went around and came back, the fish had greatly decreased, so I decided to buy 3 pieces of hokke from Rausu. I cooked it for dinner right away and it was delicious. The saltiness was just right, not greasy, and the flesh was thick and juicy. Fish from the market really is delicious. I definitely want to visit this market again. ✿ฺ(๑´ڡ`๑)✿ฺ.

Happy New Year in January 2015. New Year's is centered around luxurious dishes and ingredients, but supporting roles are also necessary. The traditional year-end shopping. You feel like going to cheap and delicious stores to shop. That's where the "Sapporo Asaichi" at the Marugao Wholesale Center comes in handy. There are both main and supporting stores. "Sapporo Asaichi" is located right next to the Sapporo Central Wholesale Market, the kitchen of the Sapporo commoners. It is a market where wholesale companies gather. Therefore, customers of "Sapporo Asaichi" include sushi restaurants, general fish stores, and other shops that come to buy. Even famous sushi restaurants and conveyor belt sushi companies come here. They also do retail sales. Especially during the year-end, there are many general customers. It gets quite crowded. Normally, you can park your car in the parking lot in front of the building, but during the year-end, general customers have to park in a temporary parking lot a little further away. I went for the first shopping in mid-December, when it wasn't too crowded for the 2015 New Year. I stopped by "Yamaki Kimura" at that time. "Yamaki Kimura" is a wholesaler of side dishes and frozen cooked fish. It's a store where I come to buy supporting roles every year. This store is located in the Marugao Wholesale Center in the Enzan-Kuwan area of Chuo-ku, Sapporo. Please check the exact location of the store on Tabelog. This is a review of the items purchased with photos from 2012, 2013, and 2014. I will refrain from reviewing items without photos. [December 2012] ■ Smoked scallops 1 bag 250g Price 630 yen ■ Squid rice Price 472 yen [December 2013] ■ Chestnut sweet ■ Umanii Price 800 yen ■ Hatsuhoshi Kamaboko I put it in the ozoni. It's a celebratory fish cake. ■ Datemaki ■ Namazu 2 bags purchased [December 2014] ■ Salted herring roe 280g Price 864 yen (including 8% consumption tax) ■ Chestnut sweet Easy to use 1 piece unit 2 packs purchased Price 1 pack 475 yen (including 8% consumption tax) ■ Black beans Price 162 yen (including 8% consumption tax) ■ Namazu 2 bags purchased Price 1 bag 194 yen (including 8% consumption tax) Main characters like Taraba, Honmaguro Otoro, and Botan shrimp can be sourced from the wholesale fish stores inside the Marugao Wholesale Center. Supporting roles like kamaboko and black beans are mostly available here. "Hatsuhoshi Kamaboko" looks very New Year-like and celebratory. New Year's would be lonely without supporting roles. It's a store where you can source a wide range of items that you're missing. Every year, I always get "Umani". It's always made by my usual companion. In busy years when my elderly mother can't make it, I reluctantly buy it. Even on regular days, you can buy rice side dishes and sake snacks cheaply at this store. After all, it's a wholesale store. It has a wide range of products, so it is the largest or second largest store in the Marugao Wholesale Center. Next time, I might come to buy sake snacks. Thank you for the delicious meal.

At the Central Market wholesale market outside the market, I prepared for New Year's. Looking at the calendar first thing in the morning, the year-end business is until December 30th. It's not every year, but since I stopped buying osechi, I often visit at the end of the year. Side dishes are also sold cheaply, but this time I bought some delicacies. Spiny dogfish, dried baby sardines, pickled cod, priced at 400 yen, 300 yen, 300 yen, including tax, so I got 3 bags for a total of 1080 yen, which was a great deal. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal♪♪
