Hokkaido is surrounded by oceans on all sides and is home to the seafood, including cold and warm current fishes and migratory fishes. Sapporo is not near the ocean, but at the “Central Wholesale Market” about 3km away from the city center, many kinds of food from all over Hokkaido gather here and people in the restaurant industry will come to purchase seafood. At the “Curb Market” that is opened to the public, visitors can eat fresh crabs at a reasonable price. In addition, the shrimp served at the sushi restaurants in Sapporo is usually raw. Try out the large "shrimp" and the delicious taste of the “sweet prawn”. In Sapporo, both the sushi restaurants with the counter and the more casual “kaiten sushi”, where sushi appear on a conveyer belt, are popular destinations.
