I casually headed to the market and decided to have lunch there. I noticed a photo of a charging station at the entrance, and next to it was a sign advertising the "Leftover Bowl" which caught my interest. Despite its name, the bowl was generously filled with various toppings and was very satisfying! The sushi rice was lightly seasoned and not too sour, making it better than a popular restaurant in the market in my opinion. Overall, it was a great seafood bowl!

☆Nokibore Donburi - 2,310 yen (tax included) This dish is filled with plenty of seafood ingredients. The combination of vinegar rice, sashimi, white sesame, and bonito flakes enhances the flavor. ☆Gorgeous Seafood Donburi - 1,870 yen (tax included) The surf clam sashimi is delicious. The tamagoyaki (Japanese omelette) included in both donburi is also tasty. The energetic mother at the restaurant is very kind and provides excellent service. She even chatted with us a lot. We didn't know there was an interview going on, but we ended up having a meal at the same table as Degawa-san and Tanaka Kei-san. It's going to be aired in August, so make sure to check it out!

The other day, I felt like eating seafood for lunch so I went to the market. It was crowded with tourists everywhere, but I found a restaurant that seemed a little less busy so I went in. I ordered the seafood bowl which was recommended. It was very reasonably priced and had a wide variety of seafood, so I was satisfied. The seafood was fresh and delicious, it was fantastic.

I arrived at the restaurant around 2 pm, avoiding the lunchtime rush. After browsing the menu, I decided to order the seafood bowl priced at under 2,000 yen. The bowl arrived in about 10 minutes and included squid, salmon roe, shrimp, tuna, scallops, octopus, conger eel, flying fish roe, egg, and white fish slices. Although the fish slices were thin, both the rice and miso soup were delicious, so I was overall satisfied. I believe it was more than 500 yen cheaper than eating a similar dish in Tokyo or New Chitose Airport. I noticed they also had a bowl with thicker slices of fish for just a few hundred yen more, so I would like to try that next time I visit.

Sushi restaurant in the Tomakomai Fish Market area. [Weekday Limited Lunch] 10 pieces for 1,320 yen. The vinegar in the sushi rice is too mild, making it bland and mushy. Each piece has less than 20g of rice, so the lunch set doesn't fill you up. The quality of the fish is also not impressive for a market sushi restaurant. It lacks elegance and flair. Although the separate seafood bowl and takeout sushi rolls were good, this time was a disappointment.

I went to Minato Market for the first time and it was lunchtime. I was looking for a place to eat and the seafood bowl caught my eye, so I chose this restaurant. I thought it might be a sashimi set meal, but it turned out to be a seafood bowl. It was delicious as a seafood bowl, but surprisingly, the flavor of the egg roll was just right and delicious for me.

It was no good. I requested Hokkaido scallops and scallops, but they were not available. The sushi chef said he would only make them if requested. Unfortunately, the sushi I received consisted of three pieces - squid, white fish, and conger eel - all seasoned with a special Tomakomai craft spice instead of soy sauce. While the craft spice may be good for some dishes, I believe a simple seasoning of rock salt and citrus zest would have been better. Moreover, the quality of the white fish sushi seemed low. The miso soup tasted like instant soup, which is okay, but the main attraction - the sushi - seemed to have taken a different path from what I was expecting. The drink was only half full. I think it's time to stop here. There were many things to nitpick, but I am already full. - The End

Tomakomai purchased nori rolls from a sushi restaurant inside the Platto Minato Market and enjoyed them during a casual evening drink. The rolls included dried gourd, egg, cucumber, and natto. While I have been handling nori rolls and thick rolls in my work for many years, the skill lies in the balance of vinegar rice and rolling technique. The vinegar here has a nice contrast, and the rolling is just right, not too tight or loose. The taste and balance of nori and ingredients are also important. The colorful yet sophisticated and elegant plate further enhances the deliciousness. The alcohol goes down smoothly.

Visited a sushi restaurant inside Tomakomai Puratto Market on Sunday, June 19, 2022. The seafood bowl was beautifully presented with a variety of sashimi on a plate, topped with tamagoyaki and fish roe in a bowl. Quite generous portions for the price of 1600 yen. I might revisit to try their sushi next time. Thank you for the meal! (^_^)

I came to Tomakomai to meet someone who has done me a favor. That person is not TOM775 who lives in Tomakomai. I don't feel any gratitude towards Matty or Kanchan either. Before visiting, we decided to have lunch first. My partner is also with me today. We need to be careful about where we eat because my partner has a wheat allergy. Noodles like ramen are not an option. Western dishes like curry rice, hamburger, Italian, and French are mostly not suitable either. However, we can still enjoy Japanese cuisine, Korean cuisine, and Chinese cuisine that do not contain wheat. Also, dishes like soup curry or spicy curry are usually safe. We don't come to Tomakomai often, so we decided to visit some tourist spots before having lunch. Even though they are tourist spots, I have some knowledge of this area because I have friends who used to live in Suhara-cho. After wandering around for a bit, we ended up choosing this place. We sat at the counter, where an elderly man with 50 years of experience was in charge of cooking. The lady in charge of the hall was efficient and worked diligently. I wonder if they are a married couple? My partner ordered a sushi set, which came with a fresh oyster! It's rare to have fresh oysters, especially due to concerns like Norovirus. I decided to have a Hokki clam bowl (raw). The Hokki clam bowl is delicious! It's a type of bivalve mollusk found on most beaches in Hokkaido, especially in Tomakomai. The tamagoyaki (Japanese rolled omelette) here is incredibly tasty! I couldn't help but exclaim, "The tamagoyaki is delicious!" The man cooking even chuckled, and it was evident that he was pleased. The wasabi in the Hokki clam bowl was quite strong, and I accidentally choked on it. The man making sushi immediately placed a box of tissues on the counter and said, "I was in a rush today, so I put extra wasabi. I'm sorry, was it too spicy?" The lady also realized she had forgotten to serve us tea and apologized. Some people claim to have an absolute sense of taste, unaffected by the ambiance of a restaurant, but you should try eating at a place like this. The delicious sushi can turn into "the most delicious sushi" when served at the counter. This place, like many others, is ultimately about the people. The taste of the food depends on the people working there. Don't underestimate tourist spots—this place has 50 years of flavor. If you're ever unsure where to eat lunch, choose this place. I will definitely come back in the future.

I visited the restaurant as soon as I heard that they had a new dish. The "Assorted Seafood Bowl" for 1,600 yen is served with sashimi and sushi rice separately. The sushi rice is topped with fish roe, creating a unique presentation for the seafood bowl. The sashimi is fresh and plentiful, and the sushi rice is made with high-quality Koshihikari rice mixed with sesame and bonito flakes. The overall impression of the dish is elegant and easy to eat, making it appealing to female customers as well. While the dish offers good value for its price, it may need a little extra surprise to truly stand out. Recommended menu, but could use a bit more to make it truly outstanding.

"Shall we go check it out?" My friend whispered for the second time this year, prompting me to visit the restaurant for the first time. I had always been intrigued by the rolled sushi and mackerel sushi displayed at the storefront whenever I passed by. So, I decided to go in search of delicious seafood bowl and ordered the "Ochikobore Don" for 1980 yen. My friend opted for the "Bikkuri Sushi" for 1500 yen. The Ochikobore Don included tuna, mackerel, salmon, sweet shrimp, squid, sea urchin, conger eel, white fish, tamagoyaki, and shredded crab meat on a bed of sushi rice. The portion size was small, like a hand-sized sushi, typical of a sushi restaurant. The sushi rice was well-seasoned, and the sea urchin was delicious. The squid and salmon were also tasty. The miso soup was a bit salty, but the sprinkle of bonito flakes and sesame seeds between the rice and toppings showed attention to detail. The Bikkuri Sushi my friend ordered consisted of larger sushi rice balls with various toppings such as flying fish roe, ikura, marinated herring roe, and marinated conger eel. Despite the limited availability of fish during this season, the chef's creativity in using alternative ingredients was impressive."

Today, I had lunch at Platts Sushi. I had a seafood bowl with hokki kushikatsu for 1800 yen. The hokki was served raw, and it even came with the hokki intestines which I love! Delicious! My wife had a plate of assorted seafood bowl for 1600 yen. The one my wife had included ikura and capelin roe as well!

Hokki Donburi for 880 yen at the Pratto in Tomakomai for lunch. I found this restaurant with a market attached and was tempted by the half-price sign for the Hokki Donburi. The restaurant is small with only a counter and tables, it seems like a sushi restaurant. I ordered the Hokki Donburi. It had about one Hokki shellfish worth of meat, along with the guts, adductor muscle, and tamagoyaki on top of the rice. Miso soup was also included in the set. Maybe the amount of Hokki was reduced because it was half-price!? If this had been full price, the value would have been quite bad. The taste was good, but there was not much Hokki for the amount of rice, so the satisfaction level was low.

[First Visit on August 26, 2021] On this day, the work at the site in Tomakomai City was completed earlier than usual, around 11 am, due to the lighter workload compared to the days after the Obon holiday. After finishing work, I decided to have lunch in Tomakomai before heading back to Sapporo. I visited "Platto Sushi" inside the Platto Minato Market to try the seafood bowl featured on the Hokkaido local TV show "Tabi Comi Hokkaido Jarande GO!" The special feature on Tabi Comi Hokkaido showcased extravagant dishes that overflowed from their bowls or plates. At Platto Sushi, they served the "Ochikobore Donburi" (tax included at 2,178 yen), where thick slices of 10 different toppings overflowed from the bowl. Although the menu stated that it would be available from October 20 to November 30, they were serving it on the day I visited, August 26. The toppings were indeed thick enough not to bend downwards even when overflowing from the bowl. The bowl itself was on the smaller side, with just enough rice for one or two regular rice bowls, so I was able to finish it easily. The freshness and deliciousness of the toppings, as well as the texture and vinegar seasoning of the rice, were excellent. However, the price was a bit high, considering that the average price for a seafood bowl in the market or at the popular shop across the street was just over 1,600 yen including tax. If they want to compete based on price, they may need to offer a similar quality or differentiate themselves with a strong impact. It was a satisfying meal.

After eating ramen for the first time on July 4, I went to the port market to cheer up Hana-chan. While my wife took Hana-chan for a short walk, I explored the market. I thought about having another bowl of ramen, but then I found this place and changed my mind! At "Puratto Sushi," there was a sign at the entrance saying you could get 3 pieces of sushi for one coin. One of the pieces was surf clam (hokkigai), which caught my attention. You could choose from a few other toppings, but I went with amberjack and flounder. I sat at the counter and watched the master prepare the sushi. I was wondering if the sushi being made for the other customers would be served to me next. To my surprise, it was the master's wife who brought my sushi to me (laughs). It turns out there was someone else besides the master making sushi! Let's dig in! I started with the amberjack. Sushi made by a sushi chef is truly different. The balance between the topping and the rice, the harmony... it's delicious! Next, I tried the surf clam. Fresh surf clam, so tasty! Hardly any fishy smell, just delicious surf clam. Lastly, I had the flounder. It had a firm texture and a great umami flavor. And all of this for 500 yen (tax included). You could use this for when you want a little something after having curry with surf clam, for example. The taste was solid, and it's a very convenient place. A one-coin sushi place that's perfect for someone like me who finds just ramen a bit lacking. I was very satisfied! It was delicious! Thank you for the meal!

This is a review of a sushi restaurant located in the Minato Market at the Sea Station. I visited on a Friday morning around 8:30 AM. There were no other customers when I entered. I ordered the "Bikkuri Sushi" for 1500 yen, but asked to have the squid replaced with something else since I don't like squid. The sushi arrived in about 8 minutes. I paid in cash. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

Had lunch at the Minato Market on a whim. Saw a sign for "Half Price Hokki Donburi \1600 ⇒ \800" at a sushi restaurant in the commercial facility where seafood shops and seafood restaurants are gathered, so I decided to have lunch here. It was a weekday, so there were few people in the entire commercial facility, and this shop was also empty. Of course, I ordered the "Hokki Donburi" (\800). While waiting with tea, it took 8 minutes for the dish to arrive. There were about 2 portions of hokkigai, covering the entire bowl. If it had been \1600, I would have been disappointed. The crispy texture of the hokkigai and the sweetness of the shellfish were abundant and delicious. The vinegared rice also had a hint of sweetness, and the portion was about 250g. It also came with a clear soup made from shrimp broth, so it felt like a good deal for \800.

When I visited the market in Tomakomai, I was drawn to a pop-up sign that said "Don't lose to 567 (Corona)" for takeout. It also mentioned "immune-boosting sushi" with a note that the nori rolls have crunchy nagaimo inside. Other options included marinated mackerel, salmon, and conger eel for a reasonable price of 567 yen. I ordered one as a souvenir to support the shop. The sushi is made fresh after you order. When I got home and tried it, the nori roll with nagaimo was deliciously crunchy and tasty.

There seems to be doubt about whether I am actually working, but I visited "Shi・Ji・Ra・N・Chi" at the Platto Minato Market. Hey old man, give me a plum sushi set! (Sorry for being cheap haha) It was around 1,000 yen... The sushi is made in a retro classical style, like a sushi restaurant in a traditional town. The sushi is well-formed and has a mild vinegar flavor. But this type of sushi is actually quite reassuring. Oh, the tuna is good, and what's this, a crab and salmon roe side dish as a service? They're fresh and delicious. The miso soup with shrimp broth is also good! The service is great, and I like the quiet atmosphere of the head chef. I'm satisfied. However, if they are targeting tourists visiting the market, I would like to see a bit more surprises... It might be difficult in these times though.
