JAPAN VLOG: Seafood haven Nijo Market 二条市場, Sapporo | tourist destination in hokkaido

Описание: Nijo Market (二条市場, Nijō Ichiba) is a bustling public market located right in the heart of Sapporo, Hokkaido, and is famously nicknamed "Sapporo's Kitchen." With a history stretching back over a century to the early Meiji period, the market was originally established by fishermen from Ishikari Bay who traveled up the river to sell their fresh daily catches. Today, it remains a vibrant, condensed city block lined with small, traditional shops and restaurants, serving as a vital hub for both local residents and tourists. The atmosphere is energetic and loud, filled with the cheerful shouts of vendors proudly displaying their high-quality goods, making it a fantastic experience just to wander through.
The market is an absolute paradise for seafood lovers, specializing in the bounty that Hokkaido is renowned for. Visitors flock here for the incredible selection of ultra-fresh marine products like giant, spiky red king crab and snow crab (kani), melt-in-your-mouth sea urchin (uni), and glistening pearls of salmon roe (ikura). The must-try experience is a seafood rice bowl, or kaisendon, which you can customize with your favorite toppings for an unbeatable fresh breakfast or lunch. Beyond the seafood, the stalls also offer Hokkaido's famous agricultural products, like the sweet and highly prized Yubari melons, ensuring a diverse and unforgettable taste of the region's best produce.
