Many people may think of the night view, the Goryokaku fort, or the setting of an anime movie. Hakodate has a lot to offer, but one thing that should not be forgotten is the Hakodate morning market.
In this issue, we introduce Hakodate Asaichi Eiya, a souvenir shop and eatery located in Hakodate Asaichi.

How about a squid fishing experience?

In the southern region of Hokkaido, where Hakodate is located, squid fishing is conducted from June to November. During this season, visitors can try their hand at squid fishing for a limited time.
The staff at the store will prepare squid sashimi and squid somen for you, so you can enjoy the fresh squid that only Hakodate can offer.
*The event may be cancelled in case of heavy rain or bad weather.
Squid fishing experience is only available for a limited time.
Squid that has been cooked for you can be eaten directly in the restaurant.

Only at Sakaeya you can eat all you can eat at the Hakodate morning market!

Squid is not the only specialty of Hakodate Asaichi Sakaeya. Oysters, scallops, and crab gankan-yaki are also recommended. Gan-gan-yaki is a wild dish that is said to have originated when fishermen used to put seafood in a large can and steam it to eat while warming themselves by a fire on the beach.
Hakodate Sakaeya offers an all-you-can-eat menu (with rice) that allows you to taste this Gangan-yaki to your heart's content. The all-you-can-eat oyster gankan-yaki can be ordered from a minimum of two persons. (*3,980 yen per person, tax not included)
There is also a non-all-you-can-eat single item Gankan-yaki, so if you want to try it first, please go for that! If you want to try it first, please order it separately (1,980 yen per person, tax not included). (1,980 yen per person, tax not included)
*All prices are current as of July 2024.

Of course, you can also eat the meat of the scallop. The scallops are small, but thick and tasty, and very satisfying to eat.

Kaisendon, a bowl of rice topped with seafood

Now that we have introduced the squid fishing experience, gangan-yaki, scallop miso soup, and many more, we must mention the kaisendon, a bowl of rice topped with seafood, that you must try at least once if you have come to Hakodate Asaichi. Hakodate Asaichi Sakaeya's kaisen don is fresh and offers a wide variety of seafood. Take a good look at the menu, and if you have any doubts, you may want to ask the restaurant staff for their recommendation of the day.
If you want to eat at the morning market but do not like raw food, do not worry. Grilled fish set menus such as hokke, salmon halas, and gindara are also recommended.
Hakodate Asaichi Eiya is open until 2:00 p.m., so you can use it not only for breakfast but also for lunch. It is great to be able to use the restaurant according to the style of your stay in Hakodate.
