When you're thinking of food to eat in Sapporo, one thing should come to mind: sushi! Sushi and seafood restaurants in Sapporo are world-class. In fact, Japan's Hokkaido area is known for its amazing seafood.
It's said that the cold weather and being surrounded by four different seas (the Pacific Ocean, the Sea of Japan, the Sea of Okhotsk, and the Tsugaru Strait) are just some of the reasons - but it helps when you have a chef with a good eye, too!
This means that in every season, a large variety of seafood specialties are transported to the Sapporo markets directly from the various ports in Hokkaido. An amazing feature of Sapporo is that you can eat fresh, delicious food at very reasonable prices.
So, let's take a look at these three popular all-you-can-eat sushi restaurants in Sapporo!
1. Yamaichi Nemuro Shokudo: All-you-can-eat Sapporo seafood lunch for 880 yen
Nemuro Shokudo is a popular seafood izakaya with a shop in front of Sapporo Station and Susukino. At “Yamaichi Nemuri Shokudo Sapporo JR Shop,” you can enjoy their all-you-can-eat lunch.
You can enjoy fresh raw, grilled, and fried fish dishes for 90 minutes, and you can also add an all-you-can-drink option. The food all-you-can-eat goes for the surprisingly low price of only 880 yen for adults and 440 yen for children (tax not included).
This seafood restaurant is a 5-minute walk from Sapporo Station, and you won’t have any trouble finding the way if you walk westwards along the underpass. Lunch service is from 11:30 am to 03:00 pm on weekdays and Saturdays.
It’s a very popular fish shop and long lines usually form before it even opens. It’s a good idea to visit the store early, or after 1:00 pm, to avoid crowds.
Upon entering, you pay and have a seat at a typical Japanese table, with tatami seats where you can stretch your legs. While it is all-you-can-eat, you are not allowed to leave any leftovers (if you do, you need to pay an extra 500 yen).
Should you stay past the time limit, 300 yen per person will be added to the bill every 15 minutes, so eat as much as you can within 90 minutes.
A popular feature that distinguishes Yamaichi Nemuro Shokudo from seafood restaurants in Sapporo is that you can make your own kaisendon seafood bowl however you prefer, combining all the seafood and fried dishes however you want to.
You will find tuna, salmon, bonito, scallops, mackerel, sweet shrimp, octopus, sea bream, red shellfish, white fish, northern shellfish, crab flakes, kazunoko, mentaiko, and more.
There is also a “Special Seafood Bowl” already prepared and with no rice. You won’t need to choose everything at one time. You can go back and refill your plate as many times as you want. This is a shop with a very good cost-quality ratio, as well as a high degree of freedom that will surely satisfy you.
