During my first visit to "Mos Burger in front of Hokkaido University," while my family member was buying a hamburger, I visited the shop across the street that I had been curious about. Inside, there was one female staff member and a variety of seafood from the Okhotsk Sea at discounted prices in the freezer. When I asked, "Which one do you recommend?" she replied, "All of them." I bought two of the "Botan shrimp spicy salted fish" for 200 yen each. This is a special product. I also bought a bag of "Dried herring" with 6 pieces for 100 yen. Although they are small herring, getting 6 pieces for 100 yen is a great deal. They are about the size of sardines and can be fried in a pan as a snack with alcohol. This way, I got 5 servings of evening drinks for a total of 700 yen. I think I will definitely visit this place again.

On my way back from lunch in January 2022, I came across a shop with a tempting signboard outside. The price was surprisingly cheap! The interior of the shop was not very spacious, but had a simple and cozy atmosphere. What caught my eye was the "dried overnight herring for 100 yen". I found it in the freezer, neatly cut into three pieces for four fish for only 100 yen! It was a great deal considering the effort put into it. The size was perfect for frying in a pan until crispy. I cooked it in a pan, drizzled with soy sauce, and it made a delicious side dish. Thank you for the feast!

I was suddenly hospitalized, but I was discharged unexpectedly three weeks ago. This hospitalization was supposed to be short-term, around one month, but I was discharged after about 20 days. However, even after discharge, I have been going to the hospital almost every weekday. I am grateful for the many likes on the review posts during my hospitalization. Your strong support for my recovery has been encouraging. I have another hospitalization scheduled for this year, but due to the current situation with COVID-19, it has been postponed to April or later. Thank you for your continued support. [February 2021] This is my second review, so I will keep it light. Esashi Town is a town located on the coast of the Sea of Okhotsk in the Soya Subprefecture of Hokkaido. To distinguish it from Esashi Town in southern Hokkaido, it is sometimes called "Kitami Esashi." Esashi Town is a town in northern Hokkaido. It is known as the town with the highest catch of snow crabs in Japan. "Maruni Eikoh Suisan" is a seafood company in Esashi Town. In 2015, they opened a direct sales store for seafood caught in Esashi Town called "Esashi Factory Direct Sales Store Jiro Maru." In July 2020, they relocated and reopened at the current location. The store mainly sells frozen products, canned goods, and packaged items. It is a treasure trove of seafood from the Sea of Okhotsk. In addition to their own products, there are also many products from local companies. The products have changed a bit from six years ago. On the day of my visit, there were sale items of their own products. "Hokke fillet for 300 yen" was only 150 yen. Normally, it would cost around 800 yen at other stores. Even at 300 yen, it was a bargain. I refrained from buying their own product "snow crab" even though it was cheap (laughs). I bought the reasonably priced "nameko" from their own products. As expected, it is a direct sales store. The prices are unbelievably low, even at regular prices, especially for "nameko." ■ Weight of Hokke fillet: 297g (after removing the windbag) Vacuum-packed price for their own product: 1 piece for 300 yen (tax included) Sale price: 150 yen (tax included) ■ Weight of Nameko: 390g (after removing the windbag) The large pieces of nameko have thick flesh and are a bit challenging to cook, but they have a decent taste. Price: 570 yen (tax included) Truly a reasonable price for a direct sales store. Especially, the own products of "Maruni Eikoh Suisan" are delicious and many of them are reasonably priced. The "nameko" is a large size and of good quality for 570 yen. It can be a great accompaniment for alcohol or a good side dish for rice. As someone who has lived in areas like Rumoi and Kitami on the Sea of Okhotsk side, I feel a sense of familiarity with Esashi Town. I understand that it is tough in these times of COVID-19, but I hope they continue to do their best. I wonder which seafood product from the Sea of Okhotsk I should try next time. I think they all have the potential to be delicious. Thank you for the delicious meal.

This is a review of a shop that was featured on Sapporo MyReby. I decided to have them deliver to my home from this shop! Although it is only 1 kilometer from my son's house, walking on a snowy road for 1 kilometer can feel quite far. During my one-month stay in Sapporo, I improved my skills at walking on snowy roads, but on this day, I struggled a bit as a bomb low-pressure system was arriving, causing some light snowfall. I truly experienced the difficulty of living in a snowy region. There is no parking lot available. Many shops in this area do not have parking lots. Upon entering, there was a shopkeeper lady present. I asked if they could send the items to Mie, to which she replied that for purchases over 10,000 yen, the shipping fee would be 600 yen. So, I started selecting items to make it over 10,000 yen. I first put five packs of herring for 100 yen each into my basket from the MyReby section... and then chose frozen snow crabs, ikura x2, salmon collar, sliced octopus legs x1, squid chanja, and Tobajirou from the frozen case. When I looked at the shelf for ambient temperature foods, I found that my favorite Rishiri kelp ramen was more than 100 yen cheaper than at New Chitose Airport! I bought 10 packs of that, and also got two packs of scallop curry each. When I looked into the entrance refrigerator, I found Yotsuba's Gouda cheese. I bought it as a souvenir for my cheese-loving dad. In the end, I easily exceeded 10,000 yen. On the 22nd, I specified a delivery date and completed the slip, and the lady kindly offered me some chocolates. The crabs take about a day and a half to defrost, so I had ikura, grilled salmon collar, and octopus slices for dinner on Monday. The grilled salmon collar had large pieces in a vacuum-sealed pack of 3, which I thawed in running water before grilling. The ikura was a bit small in size. The octopus slices were a bit watery, but soft and delicious. The grilled salmon collar had a mild saltiness, allowing the original flavor of the salmon to shine through. The next day, my son and I enjoyed the snow crabs. There was a paper in the box explaining how to defrost them, so we were able to defrost them properly. The miso was a bit light, but there was plenty of meat at the base of the legs, and it was delicious. I look forward to savoring the other items slowly. I asked if they had king crabs, but the shopkeeper said they couldn't stock them because the freezer case was small. She mentioned that the snow crabs were from last year, and the new ones would be a bit more expensive, but they are expected to arrive next month. Thank you for the wonderful experience, Sapporo MyReby shop!!!

It was a sudden hospitalization, but I was discharged unexpectedly two weeks ago. This hospitalization was supposed to be short-term, lasting about a month, but I was discharged after about 20 days. However, even after discharge, I have been going for outpatient visits almost every weekday. It has been two weeks since my discharge, and I have completed replying to comments on reviews. I am gradually able to resume replying to comments from everyone's reviews. I am grateful for the many likes on the reviews posted during my hospitalization. Your support for my recovery has been very encouraging. I have another hospitalization scheduled before the end of the year, but the timing is uncertain due to the pandemic. Thank you for your continued support. Upon returning home after discharge, I immediately headed to department stores like Mitsukoshi Sapporo. However, I was quite exhausted from the hospital bed, so I rested for a while after returning home. When I finally turned on my computer after three weeks, I found a mountain of emails. From Tabelog, there were requests for "deleting registered reviews of restaurants" and "winning the Reviewer Award 2021 - Bronze." I had given up on winning in 2020 as I was hospitalized for two full months, but winning two years in a row was a pleasant surprise. I am grateful for everyone's support and encouragement. Esashi Town is a town facing the Sea of Okhotsk in the Soya Subprefecture of Hokkaido. To distinguish it from Esashi Town in southern Hokkaido, it is sometimes called "Kitami Esashi." Esashi Town is a town in northern Hokkaido, known for having the highest catch of hair crabs in Japan. "Maruni Eikou Suisan" is a seafood company in Esashi Town. In 2015, they opened a direct sales store in Esashi Town for locally caught marine products, called "Esashi Factory Direct Sales Store Jirou Maru." In July 2020, they relocated and reopened. It had been six years since my last visit. Shortly after having lunch nearby, I made my first visit to the new location with my usual companion. This store is located near Sapporo Station North Exit in Sapporo's Kita Ward. Please check Tabelog for the exact location of the store. I visited around noon on a weekday, with no customers before or after me. The store mainly sells frozen products, canned goods, and bagged items, showcasing the treasures of the Sea of Okhotsk. In addition to their own products, they also offer products from local companies. The products have changed slightly from six years ago. On the day of my visit, there were sale items of their own products. The "Hokke fillet for 300 yen" was priced at an unbelievable 150 yen. Normally, it would cost around 800 yen at other stores. Even at 300 yen, it was a bargain. Also, their own product "Nishin dried overnight" is priced at 100 yen including tax per bag. It is a daily special price of 100 yen. Truly a direct sales store. Such prices are unimaginable in Sapporo. - Hokke fillet weight actual measurement 290g (after removing the windbag) Self-made vacuum-packed price 1 piece 300 yen (tax included) Sale price 150 yen (tax included) - Nishin dried overnight weight actual measurement 105g (after removing the windbag) Small size 8 pieces Quite delicious price 100 yen (tax included) As expected, these are direct sales prices. Especially, the self-made products of "Maruni Eikou Suisan" are delicious and very affordable. The "Nishin dried overnight" is of a quality that you wouldn't expect for 100 yen. It can be a great accompaniment to alcohol or a tasty side dish for rice. Personally, I highly recommend it. Both are treasures of the Sea of Okhotsk. As someone who has lived in areas like Monbetsu and Kitami on the Sea of Okhotsk side, I feel a sense of familiarity with Esashi Town. I know times are tough due to the pandemic, but I hope they keep up the good work. I visited because the store was registered on Tabelog. I wonder which Sea of Okhotsk marine product I'll try next time. I'm looking forward to all of them. It was delicious, thank you.

I found this place on the way to Meshi to Junmai. They sell their own products made in Shosancho at a very cheap price. And it's really cheap!! Herring for 100 yen, 2 pieces of salmon for 350 yen, dried scallops for 500 yen, octopus, boiled snow crab, and other items are also cheap, and they also have kombu ramen and snacks. Cheap is the best♡ They accept payment with PayPay. I will definitely visit again.

When I went near the lunch, I saw a sign or something that caught my eye, and I was drawn to the recommended items and special deals... 150 yen for a mackerel? When I entered the store, I found a lovely lady with frozen mackerel. Huh? This size mackerel is only 150 yen? 300 yen is already cheap enough, but even cheaper! There are other good items too. Let's stop by again~｡◕‿◕｡
