Whenever I stay in Hakodate, I enjoy fresh seafood for breakfast outside my hotel. Kikuyo Shokudo (きくよ食堂 本店) is one of my favorite breakfast spots in Hakodate. It’s a popular place, and there are always many people in the shop, even early on weekday mornings. The restaurant primarily has tables with four chairs each.
It is located in Hakodate Asaichi (Hakodate Morning Market) area.
Speaking of Kikuyo Shokudo, their sashimi bowls are very popular. You can choose from one to seven types of seafood. They also offer a variety of sashimi, grilled fish, and more. I wasn’t able to find a menu, but they likely have English and Chinese versions available. Prices are tax-excluded. If there are no vacant tables, you can order to go and enjoy the fresh seafood in your hotel room.
I decided what to order before entering the shop. I chose the Three seafood bowl (三種お好み丼, 1780 yen), which lets you select three types of seafood from options like sea urchin, salmon roe, scallop, crab, shrimp, and grilled salmon. I went with sea urchin, salmon roe, and shrimp. The set also includes miso soup and pickles.
The shrimp’s tail was quite sharp, and I accidentally cut my finger. Blood started to flow, but the shrimp had a sticky texture and was delicious. I didn’t let it stop me and kept eating!
The salmon roe was springy. I don’t usually eat salmon roe, but it was in season, so I decided to try it. Can you see from this photo? That sharp tail was like a knife… quite dangerous! :p
The sea urchin was additive-free and soft, with no unpleasant odor like alum. It was really good!
The bowl is rather small, but it’s packed with rice, leaving no gaps. Even though there’s a lot of seafood, be careful, or you might end up leaving a lot of rice behind. It kept me full until the evening – a great, money-saving breakfast! 🙂
