Otaru, the "Sushi Town"

Otaru has long flourished as a fishing port. It is a treasure trove of a wide variety of fresh seafood. Because fresh seafood can be purchased cheaply, it is said that there are more than 100 sushi restaurants in the city.

Among them, the "Otaru Sushi Street" that runs between Hanazono Ginza Shopping Street and Sun Mall Ichibangai, the bustling entertainment district of Otaru, is lined with about 15 sushi restaurants of all sizes, each offering their own specialty sushi. Enjoy Otaru's delicious sushi, including locally caught sea urchin and mantis shrimp.
