Abashiri is one of the leading wheat-growing areas in Hokkaido! The popular stone oven pizza baking experience using locally grown wheat is highly recommended. After rolling out the dough made from locally grown wheat, try baking a pizza in a stone oven with as many local ingredients as you like as toppings! You can also enjoy other Japanese food experiences such as cooking local salmon dishes, making rice cakes and tofu at Connectrip. The experience menu must be booked in advance.
Check out this local favorite, a down-to-earth Izakaya (Japanese pub). Their sashimi is particularly exceptional! You can also enjoy seasonal flavors such as Tokubire（sailfin poacher fish）and oysters. Don’t miss out on the soul food items like bone-in Zangi (fried chicken) & potato salad, and Satsuma-Age(Deep-fried fish paste) using minced cod from Sukesou. The Showa-era retro ambiance of the interior is charming, and we recommend the counter where you can chat with the master. As this is a popular spot, reservations are a must.
Experience the bounty of the Okhotsk Sea! If you want to enjoy seafood such as salmon, scallops, crabs, and oysters, sushi is highly recommended! Both local sushi restaurants and conveyor belt sushi places are great options to try!
