The origin of "Sapporo Nijo Market" is said to date back to the early Meiji period, when fishermen from Ishikari Bay began selling fresh fish, gradually forming this market. Today, in addition to fresh fish shops, there are various businesses such as fruit and vegetable stores and izakayas gathered here, making it not only a daily kitchen for the citizens of Sapporo but also a favorite spot for tourists and locals alike. The market is located in the center of Sapporo, easily accessible, and is always bustling with vibrant crowds.
There are about 20 fresh fish shops lined up in Sapporo Nijo Market, with stalls filled with the day's fresh catch, resembling a seafood treasure trove. The market offers a rich variety of Hokkaido seafood, including crabs, sea urchins, and scallops, as well as dried fish and seafood processed products. Additionally, the fruit and vegetable shops display local specialties like melons and fruits grown in the northern lands, which, like the seafood, are often given as gifts.
The market also features several dining establishments. A notable characteristic is the abundance of places where you can enjoy delicious seafood such as sushi, seafood bowls, and grilled dishes. For those who want to sample smaller portions, some fresh fish shops have dining areas that are a good choice. Furthermore, for those looking to enjoy a drink with their meal, it is recommended to visit "Noren Yokocho"; here, you can find places to have a drink while enjoying the pleasures of seafood and alcohol at the same time.
