[2025 Otaru Shopping Mall] Travel Guide for Sankaku Market (Updated Mar)

I love shopping for food, I love shopping for clothes. But when in Hokkaido, one has to head to Sankaku Market to shop and eat the freshest seafood. The market can be rather cramp but once inside the market, it is a seafood heaven. A wide variety of different local seafood can be spotted. Prices are very reasonable and definitely cheaper than what it is sold in Singapore. You can find oysters, scallops of various sizes, and a plate of 10 huge oysters were only 1000¥ (about SGD10+), which means per oyster it's only $1! How worth it! You can even buy a box of Uni (creamy sea urchin) for 2300¥ (about SGD24), certainly more affordable than back home. My husband and I cant resist these yummy looking seafood and we also ordered some fresh fish sashimi and we definitely had to try their Alaskan King crab. After shopping and eating all those, it still didn't burn a hole in our wallet. If you're a seafood lover and want something affordable, you got to pop by Sankaku Market. #shopandtrip

Today, I visited the legendary Sankaku Market in Otaru. I was so excited! Watching Japanese TV shows introducing those seafood dishes always made my mouth water. As soon as I arrived, I headed straight to the sea urchin section and had a bowl right away. The sea urchin was actually pretty good, and the portion was decent. But after calming down, I realized that the taste isn't too different no matter where you eat it. If you like seafood, it's worth a visit. It's quite nice.
