My parents asked me to buy "octopus mixed rice seasoning" as a souvenir, and I also decided to try it at home because they seemed to really like it. The day finally came to make the mixed rice. I used 2 cups of rice, added the seasoning, and let the rice cooker do the rest. The smell was really good when it was done cooking. There were big pieces of octopus in it. I took a bite and it was delicious! The mixed rice had a rich flavor, so I could eat it without any side dishes. The big pieces of octopus were tender. For side dishes, I had simmered eggplant, green peppers, and asparagus, fried yam, and freshly fried frozen croquettes from San Marco Food. Even though there was no meat, I was completely satisfied. Sato Suisan did a great job, it was delicious! I will definitely buy it again. Thank you for the meal! My parents have good taste, I underestimated them.

There was a need to visit my parents' house, and since they love Sato Suisan, they asked me to bring something for them. Instead of being unsure about what to bring as a gift, I was grateful for their requests. I bought various items such as seafood-filled onigiri, seafood bento, scallop fry, and also a Father's Day snack assortment at the register. I noticed a price list for salt soft serve ice cream, which was not available during the winter. There was a limited edition salted caramel soft serve ice cream available only on weekends and holidays, so I had to try it. The soft serve machine was from Italy, and the soft serve was smooth and delicious. The slight saltiness at the beginning was delightful, and it tasted like soft serve from a specialty shop. The soft serve and caramel were a great combination. I was happy that I could enjoy this quality salted soft serve ice cream starting from 190 yen. The parking lot was spacious, and there was also an eat-in area. Until the reopening of the soft serve ice cream at Yawata Gakuen Agricultural Products Direct Sales Store, which I personally consider the best in Hokkaido, this soft serve ice cream was a satisfying substitute. Oh, it was delicious! Thank you for the meal!

I bought some delicious sake. Of course, it's in a one-liter bottle. Since the one-liter bottle won't fit standing up in the refrigerator, I have to lay it down. This takes up some space, but it's okay if I take it outside! It's that time of year again, time to buy year-end gifts. Sato Suisan's products may be a bit pricey, but they are reliable. While I value year-end gifts, today I'm more focused on what snacks to have. I know, I'm being a bit selfish for my age. And I also bought some "izushi". I know some people have their preferences, but I really like it. It's a food from the Tohoku region and further north. Sato Suisan and Hakodate Nakamura Shoten are relatively reliable and delicious. Off I go again!

After finishing my errand at the neighboring Kitamura camera store, I went with my younger daughter to get soft serve ice cream at this neighboring place. Unfortunately, I couldn't find the soft serve machine from Carpigiani, maybe they're already done for the day? Oh well, I'll give up on that. This place is famous for its large onigiri, but since we already have lunch prepared, I browse the store for something extra. I spot some crab cream croquettes that my daughters would like, so I decide to get those. Let's head home and have them as a side dish for lunch. They're not overwhelmingly crab-flavored, but they're delicious. My daughters are satisfied, though I may not necessarily buy them again, they were tasty. Thank you for the meal! It was a fun place, I'd like to visit again leisurely next time.

Sato Suisan is a popular seafood company in Sapporo that specializes in natural salmon. The actress Eriko Sato is associated with Sato Suisan. They have 8 direct sales locations in Sapporo and New Chitose Airport, and also have outlets in department stores like Mitsukoshi Sapporo and Marui Imai Sapporo. They even have a store at Haneda Airport. They also operate their own dining establishments. The main office used to be in Nishi-ku, Sapporo, near Minami-no-Mori store, but due to seismic strength issues, they built a new headquarters in Minami-no-Mori, Chuo-ku. I visited the Yaginozaka store with a companion on a holiday around 12 pm. The shop was quite busy with customers. Since it was hot, we visited for soft serve ice cream. The soft serve machine was a single-nozzle tabletop machine made by Carpigiani, which is quite rare. They offer a unique salt soft serve made in collaboration with Iwase Ranch in Sapporo, which is only available at Iwase Ranch, Minami-no-Mori store, and Yaginozaka store. The salt flavor complements the sweetness of the soft serve. The soft serve was very smooth and had a good mouthfeel. Despite its size, it was reasonably priced. The salt soft serve had a distinctive taste and the Carpigiani machine used for making it was excellent. Carpigiani machines are known for their high quality, although they are complex and require regular maintenance. They are often called the "Ferrari" of the soft serve world. While they are efficient, they are difficult to maintain, which is why they are not widely used in Japan. Sato Suisan's salt soft serve is a unique and high-quality treat.

Once again, I received a gift from my father (lol). Near my parents' house, there is Sato Suisan. Sato Suisan is known for its salted soft serve ice cream and unique delicacies, which I have bought before. This time, my father brought back onigiri and pudding for lunch. Both of them are new to me. First, the onigiri is hand-rolled salmon roe. I love fish roe. When I opened it, it was huge! About 2.5 times the size of a convenience store onigiri. And the salmon roe is packed so densely inside. If you don't get the balance right with the rice, it can be quite salty. This one onigiri is quite filling. It costs around 540 yen, but considering the volume, it's worth it. For dessert, there's pudding. This is my mother's favorite. It uses carefully selected fertilized eggs, Ikoro eggs. I took a bite of the pudding. It's not too sweet, so I felt a bit unsatisfied. The caramel oozing from the bottom is rich and sweet. My mother recommends eating the pudding and caramel together, but I'm not a fan of caramel. When eaten together, the caramel flavor overpowers the taste of the pudding's egg. Unfortunately. If you like caramel, give it a try. I won't be getting this pudding again, but the onigiri was delicious, so I'd like to try it again if I have the chance. Thank you for the meal.

In mid-June on a Saturday afternoon, I came to do some shopping. While waiting for my items to be wrapped, I noticed a sign that said "We have started selling salt soft serve ice cream!" I couldn't resist trying it out. They had a regular size for 300 yen and a mini size for slightly less at 200 yen, which was a clever pricing strategy. I chose two mini sizes. The mini size came in a cup only, while the regular size could also be served in a cone. The soft serve ice cream was smooth with a slight texture, rich in creaminess and sweetness, but the salt added a nice balance, making it delicious. The mini size was just right for a post-meal dessert, though it was quite sweet so I started to feel a bit overwhelmed towards the last two bites. If they could reduce the sweetness a bit, it would be perfect. Previously, I used to live in Kita Ward, so I often visited the Salmon Factory's direct sales shop in Ishikari and had tried their salt soft serve ice cream and posted a review. The service there was a bit lacking, but here at Sato Suisan, the service was friendly and reliable. The shop is smaller here, with a narrow seating area, but it's sufficient for a quick break. It was nice that they offered complimentary self-serve tea. Sato Suisan offers a wide variety of seafood products and allows for sampling, making it a convenient place to choose gifts. Next time, I might try the cone soft serve ice cream. Thank you for the meal!

This is my go-to seafood shop for home, BBQ, and gift purposes. It's Sato Suisan Sheep Hill Street Store in Sapporo area. The shop is considered a major player in Hokkaido, with a respectable factory and a total of 9 stores including 8 direct-operated stores in Hokkaido and 1 store at Haneda Airport. This time, I visited the Sheep Hill Street Store to quickly shop for year-end treats. Here are some items I purchased: - Bite-sized Kazunoko: Enjoying the texture of Matsumae Kazunoko while savoring its rich sweetness and umami flavors. - Ikura Soy-marinated: I usually make this at home in autumn, but it doesn't last until year-end, so I bought it this time. I particularly like the one from this shop. - Cod Stick: It's quite hard and cannot be eaten as is, so it needs to be pounded with a hammer or mallet to loosen the flesh before peeling it off by hand. The staff at this shop pounded it for me. I enjoy it with mayo and shichimi. Shichimi from "Hachimanya Isojiro" is my favorite. We use both Endo Suisan Minatomachi Market and Sato Suisan at our home. Lately, we use Endo Suisan for BBQ events, Sato Suisan for gifts, and both for personal use depending on the purpose. Sato Suisan may be a bit pricey, but it offers value for money with its skills and branding. They are a hardworking local company. I will visit again. Thank you for the meal.

September's three-day weekend. In light of the recent earthquake, I received various thoughtful gestures from my friends in Honshu. Truly, friends are what matter most, right? I am truly grateful... Thank you very much. To purchase a return gift, I visited a few places, and one of them was this shop. Sato Suisan Sheep Hill Street Store in Sapporo. My purchase for myself was as follows: - Salt Soft Serve Ice Cream for 300 yen. Taste rating: 3.3. The shop offers soft serve ice cream, with a mini size available for 190 yen, which is quite reasonable. This time, I tried the regular size for 300 yen. The machine used is a Carpigiani, so expectations were high. The ice cream was surprisingly voluminous, with a creamy texture and a good balance of sweetness from the milk and saltiness. However, I got a little tired of it towards the end. Maybe the mini size would have been better. - Louis Veuve (2018 new product) for 728 yen. Taste rating: 3.8. The glossy orange color of the salmon looked great, and the gold trimming on the packaging added a touch of luxury. Upon tasting, the texture was rich and chewy, with a deep flavor that intensified with each bite. It was delicious. This was a hit, perfect for enjoying with my wife during a drink. Overall, the shop had a decent number of customers. This company is a leader in the "souvenir / seafood processing" category in Hokkaido, and I hope they continue to do well in the future. Thank you for the meal.

Used for breakfast. Visited with family. Some miscellaneous thoughts: - Located along Yagura Hill Street. - Parking available for about 10 cars. - Purchased soy sauce-marinated salmon roe. - Ate it on top of rice. - The texture was good and it was very delicious. - They also sell onigiri and other items that caught my interest.

The food was amazing and the service was exceptional! I highly recommend this restaurant.

I visited Sato Suisan located on Nishioka 4-jo 3-chome, along Yagagamine Street. I have eaten here a few times but never left a review. When I arrived around 2 PM, the exterior of the restaurant was under renovation. The interior was still open for business. I decided to order the salt soft serve for 280 yen. I paid at the counter and received my order at a different location. The soft serve was rich with a hint of salt, which made it delicious. It was affordable and tasty, so I have nothing to complain about. However, there was a slight fishy smell inside the restaurant, so I recommend eating outside. They also offer warm tea as a nice service. Thank you for the meal!

Sato Suisan, famous for its seafood products in Hokkaido! I have visited Sato Suisan's directly operated stores at New Chitose Airport, outdoor market, Sapporo Station main store, and now I visited a store located along the Yagaike Street parallel to Route 36, which is a bit difficult to reach without a car. The store is spacious and you can take your time browsing. They offer samples for tasting, so you can try before purchasing your favorite products, which is a nice service. This store not only offers souvenir items but also everyday side dishes. They have a wide variety of dried fish products, such as hokke, nishin, mackerel, and more, all of which are delicious. Seafood products are great for souvenirs or as snacks with drinks at home. One of their popular items is the Salmon Lübe pickled in special sauce, which I buy every time I visit. It goes well with ikura. I also buy Salmon Pate and Crab Pate to eat with bread. The Salmon Pate has a unique taste and is rich, while the Crab Pate is worth the price. They also have Salmon Roll with cheese, which is perfect as a snack with drinks. They sell items like red salmon and cod marinated in Saikyo-style by the piece. If you're looking for seafood and processed products as souvenirs in Hokkaido, Sato Suisan is a great choice.

August 2016 Salmon Rui-be marinated (230g) for 1090 yen I happened to pass by, so I couldn't resist stopping by (^-^; There was a new product with wasabi-flavored salmon Rui-be, but I played it safe and went with the classic. Today, I was feeling a bit greedy and bought the larger size, but I won't be sharing with my husband. It's all for me ('ε'*) Thank you for the meal (^ω^) July 2016 Seafood Chawanmushi for 300 yen Salmon Rui-be marinated (140g) for 669 yen I visited for the purpose of having some snacks with my evening drink. It's Sato Suisan located on Yagamigaoka Street. It's right at a spot where you can easily miss it if you're not careful with your speed. This was my first time buying the Seafood Chawanmushi. It didn't have a lot of seafood ingredients, and there was no seafood broth either (^-^; I think 300 yen is a bit expensive for this. The salmon Rui-be, on the other hand, always delivers a reliably delicious taste. It goes well with alcohol. I also bought the autumn salmon Sazanami marinated. There are various types of salmon in the Sazanami series, but I like the autumn salmon. Thank you for the meal (^ω^)

Hot days make soft serve ice cream melt quickly! It seems like the hot summer has arrived in Sapporo as well. To beat the heat, nothing beats enjoying some soft serve ice cream♪ While on my way, I happened to spot Sato Suisan's Sheep Hill Street store. With a bit of time before my work appointment, I was drawn into the store's parking lot. I decided to try a sample before indulging in their salt soft serve ice cream, which I had also tried last year. The mini size is priced at 170 yen, making it convenient and affordable. It's a nice way to replenish lost salt, although the calorie content is a concern. The subtle hint of salt and rich flavor make it delicious. The smooth creaminess is irresistible and addictive. Stay tuned for the next episode♪

After finishing dinner and on the way back, we unexpectedly found Sato Suisan! I directed my driver to stop by Sato Suisan on Yagamidai Street, which I usually don't visit because I usually go to the main store. Inside, there was a corner with deli dishes made in the workshop, which was unfamiliar to me! We chose some items to enjoy as snacks when we got back home: - Seafood Chawanmushi (steamed egg custard) for 300 yen each x 2 - Seafood dashimaki tamago (rolled omelette) for 390 yen - Ikoro egg pudding for 180 yen (no photo, for my friend C) When we mentioned that we were heading back to Tokachi, they packed the items in a cooler bag with ice packs for us. We used a stamp card that was full and expiring in September for a 500 yen discount (the reason we stopped by this time), so we paid 670 yen, the cheapest we've ever paid at Sato Suisan. When we got back home, we tried the Seafood dashimaki tamago and Seafood Chawanmushi. The ingredients list for the Seafood dashimaki tamago listed scallops first, followed by snow crab, so there was a good amount of scallops with a hint of snow crab. The Seafood Chawanmushi had scallops, shrimp, surf clam, and snow crab, with a nice texture and the added sweetness of candied chestnuts that Hokkaido people love. Both dishes had a unique dashi flavor, possibly from the addition of mackerel shavings, and a slightly sweet taste that would be appealing to women and children. While the sweeter flavor was not exactly to my liking, at this price point and quality, I would consider buying them again if I pass by the area. I usually don't write reviews for different branches of the same company if I've already reviewed one, but I wanted to share about the deli corner at the Yagamidai Street store, which seemed to have unique items. These deli dishes could be handy when you feel like you need a little extra something for your meal. Thank you for the delicious food.

When you want to eat delicious salmon in May 2015, Sato Suisan is the place to go. They offer thick, flavorful salmon with various levels of saltiness to suit your preference. You can even sample before purchasing, which is a nice touch. I bought the sweet salted salmon, salmon rolls, and sausages this time. The grilled salmon is tender and juicy with a sweet and salty flavor. The salmon rolls are juicy and have a texture similar to canned salmon. I wonder if there's a way to enhance them with some kind of twist. The sausages are full of salmon flavor. There are still many other products that catch my interest, so I look forward to visiting again.
