Kushiro Washo Market

Kushiro Washo Market is one of Hokkaido's three major markets, alongside Hakodate Morning Market and Sapporo Nijo Market. The most famous specialty is katte-don, a unique system where you first purchase rice, then walk around the fresh fish shops in the market to select your preferred toppings piece by piece, creating a custom seafood rice bowl. You can choose from abundant selections including fresh salmon roe, salmon, scallops, crab, and more. The market has approximately 60 shops offering not only marine products but also agricultural products and prepared foods. The vibrant vendor calls echoing through the market are also part of its charm.
