Located inside Sapporo Nijo Market, "Donburi Chaya Sapporo Nijo Market Store" is a donburi restaurant started by the fishmonger "Marusei Chiyomizusan" at Nijo Market. They also have stores at New Chitose Airport and Otaru Sakaimachi Street, boasting fresh seafood directly from the market. The location is easily accessible from Susukino Station and Odori Station at Nijo Market. The indoor passage along the market allows you to enjoy market meals in a convenient location. The exterior design allows you to see how crowded it is inside. The interior has a fisherman town atmosphere with fishing flags and folk songs playing, resembling a Northern-style bar. There are about 7 counter seats and 6 tables. During Sunday lunchtime, there was a line outside the storefront, but we were able to enter without waiting as only half of the seats were occupied. They offer around 50 types of seafood bowls ranging from 2,000 to 3,000 yen, as well as 9 types of seared bowls, grilled dishes, sashimi, and more, making it a delightful lineup that may overwhelm you. After carefully examining the menu, we ordered the following on this day:
- Ouryoudon (Large Fisherman's Bowl) 2,980 yen
- Miso Soup 200 yen
The dishes arrived in about 8 minutes. The fresh ingredients arranged in a radial pattern on a flat plate were visually stunning. The toppings included tuna, salmon, hamachi, enagawa, botan shrimp, snow crab claw, ikura, kazunoko, and tamago, truly a bountiful catch. We dipped each piece of topping in wasabi soy sauce, enhancing the fresh texture and unique flavors of each. The soft saltiness of enagawa paired well with the vinegared rice, and the salmon and ikura offered a distinct Hokkaido flavor. The recommended miso soup, not listed on the menu, contained baby scallops, providing a concentrated taste of scallops in each of the 4 small pieces. While savoring the deliciousness of each topping, the bowl was filled with a satisfying volume of vinegared rice. Being close to the heart of Susukino and situated indoors at the market, you can enjoy the atmosphere of a market meal. The extensive menu ensures that you will find your preferred combination of toppings. This is a Hokkaido-style bowl restaurant where you can meet delicious seafood that lives up to expectations.
