At Akkeshi Michi no Eki, you can grill your favorite items like oysters all year round on the barbecue grill. The excitement before eating is through the roof. You can enjoy fresh oysters, grilled oysters, scallops, clams, corn, and more. This place is a mecca dedicated to savoring Akkeshi oysters to the fullest. Purchase your favorite items from the well-stocked market and enjoy them at the scenic dining area with a barbecue grill next to it. Start with fresh oysters - they are delicious even without lemon. The Marue and Benten brand oysters are so good you can eat as many as you want. Pair them with a Sapporo Classic beer for a perfect combination. Grilled oysters have a richer flavor compared to fresh ones. Don't grill them for too long. Once the Sapporo Classic is finished, switch to an Akkeshi Single Malt highball. Akkeshi Single Malt is hard to come by these days. Akkeshi is said to be similar to Islay in Scotland, known for its oysters. Enjoy the oysters and whisky while imagining the Scottish sea. The corn and asparagus are also delicious. The soft serve ice cream that comes with the drink bar is top-notch. This is a wonderful gourmet spot where you can savor oysters and Akkeshi whisky. It's best to come with someone who can drive, or else the charm is halved. I feel lucky to have experienced this.

I went to a grilled restaurant at Akkeshi Michi-no-Eki to eat oysters and enjoyed bucket-grilled scallops, smoked saury, pork, and grilled rice balls. Even though it's not oyster season yet, the oysters were delicious with a good amount of meat. The scallops were also tasty with a good amount of meat. It was a seafood grill with a satisfying volume.

I visited the Charcoal Grill Aburiya located inside the Conchiglia at the Akkeshi Taste Terminal. Here, I was able to enjoy fresh oysters, scallops, and surf clams. You can choose your favorite seafood from the fish market and have it grilled over charcoal. It's fun to pick out delicious-looking shellfish from the tank. Once the shells are grilled and opened, you can enjoy the meat inside. Every shellfish had a satisfying texture and strong umami flavor. In addition to shellfish, I also tried Hanasaki crab and venison, allowing me to savor various delicious flavors of Hokkaido. I definitely want to visit again in the future.

In the midst of GW, I visited a restaurant. I had to wait for 90 minutes. I wrote my name at the reception, and when my turn came, they called my name. If I wasn't inside, they would call me through the intercom. I waited. When my turn came, I received a tray and chose shellfish and grilled dishes from the tank, then paid at the counter before being seated. I ordered drinks at the counter. I chose a set of 3 types of oysters, grilled oysters, scallops, shrimp, and more. Fresh shellfish is delicious. Raw is also delicious. But grilling over charcoal seems to be the best way to enjoy seafood. Oysters ordered online are tasty, but oysters eaten on-site are the best, I think. Microwaved oysters from Aoyama are exceptional, but it was definitely worth waiting in line to eat there. Scallops and surf clams are great with just lemon or soy sauce. It makes you want a beer. I want to go back again soon.

Traveling from Kushiro to Akkeshi in Hokkaido! This restaurant is located inside the Akkeshi Gourmet Park at a roadside station, where you can enjoy fresh summer oysters, scallops, shrimp, clams, etc. that you can purchase outside and barbecue on the spot! They also offer meat and vegetables. The grilled oysters here are said to be the best in the world! Whether raw or grilled, they are incredibly delicious! And you can enjoy grilling them with everyone, making it a highly recommended spot for your trip!

This is a dining facility located at the Michi-no-Eki in Akkeshi. The dining style here involves purchasing seafood and grilling it yourself over charcoal. In addition to seafood, there are also meat and vegetable options available, making it a fun experience. It had been 9 years since my last visit, but nothing had changed. In fact, it seemed to have become more popular as there was a line forming before opening. However, the restaurant is spacious with plenty of seating, so there is no need to wait for a long time. I opted for a bucket of steamed oysters, which were larger and more affordable than what you would find in Tokyo.

During my trip to Hokkaido, I stopped by the Michi no Eki (roadside station) in Akkeshi and had lunch at a charcoal-grilled restaurant. First, I selected my choice of ingredients for grilling: oysters, surf clams, abalone, and scallops! I enjoyed them hot off the charcoal grill. I also ordered the Maruemon and Kakiemon oysters. It was a great spot to savor Akkeshi's oysters while enjoying the view. Thank you for the delicious meal.

I couldn't forget the taste of the Akkeshi oysters from a Michelin Guide-listed oyster bar in Nihonbashi, so I stopped by for lunch during my trip to Eastern Hokkaido. The main purpose was, of course, to indulge in oysters. While most oyster huts mainly serve grilled oysters, here you can also enjoy them raw. The freshness of the oysters, sourced from the tank at the front of the store, was outstanding. I also tried scallops and other seafood options. The oyster bucket lunch set may seem a bit pricey, but each dish was delicious. The restaurant even has an observation deck, offering a nice view from the roadside station.

I came here because I couldn't eat in at Auroco. I heard it gets crowded on weekends so I made a reservation, but it was empty when I arrived. Lucky me, I guess. Other restaurants seem to be doing well too. I ordered some light dishes - raw oysters, grilled oysters, scallops, and surf clams. Did I order too much? Next to the grill, there were salt, pepper, soy sauce, and barbecue sauce. There were lemons on the ingredient display table, but no butter. Too bad... did I overlook it? Well, I'm Japanese so soy sauce is fine. After being given instructions on how to grill, I started cooking. The sizzling sound was satisfying, and the dishes turned out great. Maybe it's because of the charcoal, but they were cooked perfectly. I burned the soy sauce a little for a nice char, and tried them. Yep, they were delicious. The freshness and sweetness from the heat were outstanding. Just soy sauce was good enough! The scallops were a bit raw, but tasty. The surf clams were good with a semi-raw texture and soy sauce. Oh, I haven't had raw oysters in a while, but they were so good. They came with ponzu sauce which was refreshing and delicious. I enjoy this kind of dining experience, not just set meals or courses. Looking forward to trying something with meat next time. The salt, pepper, and store-bought barbecue sauce were a bit disappointing. I hope they improve on that.

Let's start our journey to Eastern Hokkaido. We have arrived at the oyster paradise of Akkeshi. One of the famous spots here is Konkirie, a roadside station that is always crowded with visitors. To be precise, Konkirie is the name of the roadside station, and inside there is a restaurant called Aburiya. It is so popular that we made a reservation three months in advance, but most people seem to visit without a reservation. As a result, if you arrive on time, the waiting time seems to be quite long... Exterior: The restaurant is located on the second floor of the roadside station and looks quite simple from the outside. You need to pick up the food on a tray at the entrance and pay at the counter before entering. Interior: The seating arrangement is typical, with tables facing each other across the grilling area. It can be a bit difficult to have conversations when visiting as a pair or group. Also, ordering alcohol or rice is done separately at the counter, which may be a bit inconvenient. There are 16 seats arranged radially around the center, where a staff member tends to the charcoal fire. Food: We tried various dishes, but the highlight was definitely the oysters, both grilled and raw. We also had scallops. Focusing on shellfish seems to be the way to go. When grilling oysters, place the flat side up and the round side down. Use an oyster knife to remove the meat from the top shell before opening the shell. Mastering this technique is crucial, as failing to do so may result in losing the delicious oyster broth. However, I must admit that I also realized how impressive the selection at Hokkaido Akkeshi Nihonbashi Main Store in Tokyo is.

I had a lunch of oyster rice bento, but I still can't stop thinking about fresh oysters. This shop on the second floor of the roadside station. You buy a meal ticket at the entrance first. It seems that many people grill oysters from the live tank, but I prefer them raw. There are several types of oysters, but I chose the brand from Akkeshi, called Kakiemon. Three normal-sized oysters cost 1,000 yen. I squeezed lemon on one first. Then I tried the vinegar soy sauce that came with it. Both were incredibly delicious. I had a small draft beer for 520 yen. It's Sapporo. The weather was getting better, and the view from the window was beautiful.

I visited this restaurant after touring Cape Notoro and Cape Nosappu. It was not easy to find as it was located on the 2nd floor of a roadside station. I ordered 6 fresh oysters, 6 cooked oysters, crab sashimi, 2 shrimp, 2 scallops, 1 frankfurter, large rice, and small rice. The total cost was almost double the average budget, but the food was delicious. I hadn't had fresh oysters in a while, but I still love them. Since I drove here this time, I plan to look for nearby hotels where I can also enjoy some drinks next time. Thank you for the great experience.

It is located near Akkeshi Station, but it is at a roadside station. You can pick oysters from the tank yourself, pay for them, and then grill them. There are various other options besides oysters. Since they are Akkeshi oysters, of course, they taste delicious when grilled by yourself. It's fun.

YouTube link is here. This is a solo dining tour that I decided on this time (May 5, 2022). I couldn't visit the restaurants I wanted to go to while on a work trip, but just like in Okinawa last time, this time it's all private. The takeoff from Haneda was a bit delayed, and I arrived at Kushiro Airport at 9:55. I got on the airport shuttle bus and arrived at Kushiro Station at 11:05. I tried to use my Suica card to get on the train, but at this station, it seems you can only use tickets or commuter passes. In a rush, I lined up at the Midori no Madoguchi window, but the train I wanted to take departs at 11:12. Just in time. I managed to catch it and got off at Akkeshi Station at 11:58. When I climbed a small hill from the station, Akkeshi Conquérie, a roadside station, appeared. The first stop is on the second floor of that place. - Sumibi Aburiya. As expected, it was very crowded. I told them my name and waited for 25 minutes. Here, you choose your own ingredients, pay in advance, and are seated, then you cook it yourself. I wanted to try a comparison of three types of raw oysters, but one type was sold out. - Maruemon (extra-large x3). - Kakiemon (extra-large x3). I was seated at the counter and ordered: - Draft beer (medium, Sapporo Classic). - Lemon sour. Among families and couples, I started my solo feast (sweating). First, the beer. There is no off-flavor, but... The beer mug is at room temperature, so it quickly becomes lukewarm. The lemon sour is cold, of course, with ice. Kakiemon. Maruemon. I squeezed lemon on both and ate them without ponzu sauce. They were delicious. They were really good, but... I could eat these in Kushiro, or even in Kanto. What I was expecting was something unique to the local area, so my shoulders slumped. I ate and drank quickly and went outside. Overall. Thanks to the development of logistics, the level of what is expected from local restaurants has increased. I am traveling in search of that "something".

I wanted to eat fresh oysters, so I went to Conkiere again. It has been ranked as the top satisfaction at a Hokkaido roadside station for 11 consecutive years. You can enjoy teppanyaki while overlooking the mountains and the sea. We could see drift ice in the sea and deer on the mountain side. You can grill various foods such as oysters, clams, scallops, various meats, and large shiitake mushrooms over charcoal. They offer different types of oysters such as Maruemon, Akkeshi brand Kakiemon, and limited-time Benten oysters, but I recommend Kakiemon. The taste of the oysters is rich and flavorful.

Revisit. You can enjoy the ingredients purchased at the fish market with charcoal grilling. The charcoal grilling fee is 300 yen. ■ Comparison of 3 types of raw oysters (6 pieces) @ 1800 yen Maruemon - Sharp salty taste. Benten kaki - Creamy. Kakiemon - A light taste between Maruemon and Benten kaki. You can easily eat more than 20 pieces. Is it just a coincidence that the L and 2L sizes are almost the same? ■ Emon steamed in sake (10 pieces) @ 1600 yen Since the meat is large, it does not shrink even when steamed thoroughly. Smooth with plenty of coastal aroma soup. ■ Grilled oysters Maruemon (L size/1 piece) @ 190 yen Benten kaki (L size/1 piece) @ 230 yen Kakiemon (2L size/1 piece) @ 400 yen It is recommended to grill to a medium level as overcooking will dry out the meat and start spilling the juice. ■ Live scallop (1 piece) @ 380 yen A large and elastic scallop. ■ Abalone (1 piece) @ 500 yen Although small, it has a satisfying texture. ■ Squid cartilage skewer (1 piece) @ 210 yen Delicious crunchy texture. ■ Toudai tsubu (1 piece) @ 150 yen The liver is thoroughly cooked in a special broth. Recommended for those who want to eat fresh raw oysters to their heart's content. Thank you for the meal.

Before heading home, I couldn't miss out on the oysters, so I extended my trip to Akkeshi for an oyster feast. I tried a platter of three types of fresh oysters: Marue-Mon, Kaki-Mon, and Benten. They were all delicious with large, plump grains, but my favorite was the Kaki-Mon for its texture. While waiting for the big grilled oysters, I had some Komai, which is also a must-try in Hokkaido. Finally, the grilled oysters were ready, and I enjoyed them with lemon, ponzu sauce, and a mix of lemon and soy sauce. Before I knew it, they were all gone.

It was a hot summer, but I think the oysters up north in the sea must be in good shape. If you come to Akkeshi, you have to eat oysters. This restaurant is located on the 2nd floor of the Michi-no-Eki "Akkeshi Gourmet Park Akkeshi Taste Terminal Conchilie". At the entrance of the restaurant, you can purchase oysters, scallops, and other favorite ingredients, and then grill them to your liking at the table and grill inside the store. However, they also have a menu for raw oysters. Without paying attention to the grilled items, I ordered a large size of 6 raw oysters at the counter. After paying, I was given a card, which I took inside. When I said "no grilling", I was guided to a table without charcoal. I handed over the card, and after 5 minutes, a plate of oysters arrived. They were served with ponzu in the middle, but I prefer to squeeze a little lemon over them because ponzu can mask the delicious flavor of the oysters. They were creamy and rich, truly the taste of Akkeshi oysters. Delicious! I wish I had some sake. And there was no excess water in them. Maybe they are good at shucking them here. Miyagi oysters are also delicious, but when it comes to it, Akkeshi oysters definitely take the prize. Thank you for the meal.

The "Golden Kakiemon" oysters were thick and juicy, with a smooth texture and a sea breeze flavor spreading in the mouth. They were excellent! The oysters from Okhotsk are slow-growing due to the low sea temperature, allowing them to absorb abundant nutrients over a long period of time. This results in plump, flavorful meat with a rich sweetness. Additionally, the oysters are safe to eat raw thanks to the "UV sterilization tank" facility.

This is a report on Hokkaido (lol) where I went to Akkeshi to eat oysters! I visited the Michi-no-Eki Konkirie, which has been ranked No. 1 for 11 consecutive years in the Hokkaido Jalan Michi-no-Eki Satisfaction Ranking 2021! The parking lot is spacious and the location is excellent! It was just past 12 o'clock on a weekday, but it wasn't crowded and we were able to sit down right away! They change the air in the store 62 times per hour, which might be No. 1 in the country! (lol) After checking in, we were given vinyl gloves and a tray, and we could use tongs to choose the items we wanted to grill, which was also fun! And then, we paid first. "Extra Large Gold Kakiemon Oysters," "Live Scallop," "Akkeshi Shell-Opening Oysters," "Akkeshi Extra Large Oysters," "Extra Large Hokke from Rausu," "Whey Pork Kalbi," "Katakai Scallops," "Crab Gratin," "Grilled Rice Balls" After being seated, we ordered "Ikura Don" and "Clam Soup" from the menu. The staff kindly guided us to our seats. There was also plenty of space between us and the next table! The large-sized oysters were extremely creamy and smooth, with a fantastic taste! The extra large Hokke from Rausu was also delicious with its fatty and thick meat! The extra large Gold Kakiemon Oysters were dangerously delicious! Be careful as the oyster shells are grilled and may pop! The ikura donburi in Hokkaido is delicious! The Whey Pork Kalbi has a sweet and tender meat quality, and both the yakiniku sauce and pepper are a perfect match and delicious! The Crab Gratin is rich and tasty! We quickly finished the delicious meal! I would also like to try the bucket-steamed oysters! Thank you for the meal.

I visited Conkiere for the first time, a place I had wanted to visit for a while. Since Akkeshi is famous for oysters, I went to a restaurant where I could enjoy grilled oysters and fresh oysters. The oysters were large and looked very delicious. In addition to oysters, they also served surf clam, clams, scallops, and smelt. Everything was delicious, but the oysters were exceptional. The facility had a nice view and was very pleasant, so I would like to visit again if I have the chance.
