Japanese food - Uni (sea urchin) day trip to Otaru, Hokkaido, Japan Otaru is a small port town on the island of Hokkaido in Japan, thats known for its abundance of delicious and fresh seafood. So during my trip to Sapporo, I knew it was one day trip we didnt want to miss. Sapporo Station - To get to Otaru from Sapporo, you can take the JR train from Sapporo Station. It cost me 640 JPY (5. 73) and the ride took about 45 minutes or so. Sankaku Market Seafood Market - Just outside the Otaru train station and to the left hand side as you exit, youll find Sankaku Market, a small and very friendly fresh seafood market selling an abundance of Hokkaido seafood delicacies like uni (sea urchin. There are some very famous seafood rice bowl restaurants, but youll also find different fish, and fresh King crabs and hairy crabs. I took one walk through the seafood market, but then settled on the first shop - mainly because they owners were so friendly and welcoming. Kawashima Shop - This the the seafood shop at the market we ate lunch at, and I would highly recommend it. The owners and staff were all very friendly, and the seafood was fresh and incredible. Hakkaku (sailfin poacher fish) - 1, 000 JPY (8. 96) - Along with uni, one of the things I wanted to eat in Otaru was Hakkaku, which is a sailfin poacher fish. Its look very unique, and it prepared as sashimi. It was delicious. Uni don (sea urchin bowl) - 4, 500 JPY (40. 31) - But the real dish I came all the way to Otaru to eat was a full uni don, sea urchin rice bowl. First a layer of rice went down, then a couple of shiso leaves, then a full bed, and entire box of fresh vibrantly yellow sea urchin (uni. It was outstanding. Ive had sea urchin many times before, but usually its just a couple pieces of sushi, this was an entire bowl full, and it was insanely delicious. Hairy crab (horsehair crab) - 6, 500 JPY (58. 23) - Finally, just because I had never had a hairy or horsehair crab, I decided to get a fresh crab. Horsehair crabs are all about the roe inside, and its complex and flavorful. This was an amazing day of Japanese food in Otaru, the highlight for me was the seafood market, and its well worth a visit when you are in Hokkaido

Mark you should come to new Zealand for a feed of sea urchin but here we call them kina. come to mahia on the east coast of the north island I free dive for them they are common to get as big as your hand and the roe can get as wide as two fingers and they are the creamiest and sweetest in the world in my opinion the cream is literally dripping out the tooth usually around christmas time to february even the smaller kina are full of fat roe. delicious. I've never seen you eat any abalone but here we call it Paua that's another Maori delicacy we mince them up with onions then cook it in cream. beautiful. another yummy seafood we get is tuatua it's a type of clam I think, the flesh is sweet like a scallop I eat them raw straight out of the sea or you can cook them in butter with garlic, chillis and herbs so i really think you should come here you won't regret it. the only downside is that there's no place to get it cooked for you so kitchen skills is a must. but there is a bar called sunset point they got fish n chips and meals. add your seafood side dishes fresh from the sea your in heaven

Why dont you involve your wife more in your videos? She speaks fluent English right? Im assuming because you ask her stuff in English all the time and she looks Americanized. Btw I dont know your history completely only been watching for 6 months, I do remember you live in Thailand but yeah would like your family and especially wife involved in the video.

Hi Mark, love the show. But I think what you were eating out of the crab carapace was actually the liver/tomalley (green stuff) & crab fat (white stuff. But I agree with you, it's delicious. I always get out crabs whole & clean them at home so I can keep that part for myself. Keep up the great work. God bless

Out of curiosity, what does sea urchin taste like? Is the flavor anything like shrimp / crabs / lobster or a completely different flavor? Love your videos - the amazing people you meet, the food and the beauty in each country you go to.
