Established over 40 years ago, this popular izakaya (Japanese pub) is loved by locals and tourists alike. In addition to counter seats and table seats, there is a private room that can accommodate about 10 people, and on the second floor there are banquet halls that can accommodate 30 and 50 people, for a maximum of 80 people (the rooms will be separated). The display case in front of the counter is filled with freshly caught seafood.
In addition to seafood dishes such as sashimi and grilled fish, the menu is diverse, including meat dishes, set meals, and soba noodles. The sashimi platter, featuring seasonal seafood mainly from the Okhotsk Sea, is particularly popular.
Check the blackboard for the day's recommendations! You can find seasonal sashimi such as plump surf clams from Abashiri and oysters from Lake Saroma. We recommend pairing the fresh sashimi with the owner's recommended local sake, "Kimi ga Sode." In addition to sake, we also have shochu and beer available.
In addition, the surimi (fish paste) fritters specially made by local kamaboko (fish cake) shops, such as "onion surimi" and "hanpen cheese," are popular with people of all ages, and the opportunity to enjoy local gourmet food with alcohol is one of its attractions.
The restaurant is decorated with retro furnishings everywhere, making it feel like a museum. Celebrity autographs adorn the walls, a testament to its delicious food and popularity. Many repeat customers recommend it, saying things like, "When you go to Abashiri, you have to go to the steamship restaurant." It's a lively place where you can enjoy Abashiri's history and seasonal flavors.
