Sapporo Crab Cuisine

Around Susukino in Sapporo, there are numerous specialty shops where you can fully enjoy Hokkaido-sourced crab. Grilled king crab, whole boiled hair crab, snow crab sashimi, and more are served with diverse cooking methods that reveal their true flavor only when fresh. Crab hotpot and crab shabu-shabu courses are also popular, with the experience continuing through the finishing rice porridge. Especially in winter, hair crab meat is densely packed with increased sweetness, and the crab miso is rich and concentrated. Some restaurants even butcher live crab right before your eyes, allowing you to experience the exceptional freshness firsthand.
