The best grilled seafood I've had anywhere in Asia! Superbly fresh incredients, well prepared and beautifully served. The grilled squid and sable fish were especially delicious and we had to have seconds on the grilled scallops in butter. I also recommend the crab salad. The bowl is huge enough to share, greens crunchy and fresh, crab and dressing just perfect. Thank you! Wish I could visit the restaurant more often! I'll definitely return if I'm in Hokkaido again.

Incredible selection of fresh seafood and friendly staff to tourists - Hokkaido oysters, crab fried rice, Kyoto style sea bass, and tempura king crab. The Caesar salad was also delicious. Absolutely recommend.
