5 elections of recommendation dinner spot in Otaru which isn't only sushi

When saying a gourmet in Otaru, sushi and seafood on rice are famous, but it isn't only that. Western food culture the port town where the creation food which elaborated ideas for abundant mountain ocean's bounty is stale and the delicacy by which the wine created at Otaru suburb charms a domestic and abroad gourmet are filling. The store where a historic landmark was reused and the pleasure which tastes the nostalgic atmosphere much. I'll select the recommendation store where a dinnertime becomes a memory of important travel carefully and introduce.

Of food culture abundant in Otaru and the menu with which originality sparkles, variously.

"Port town seafood pasta Raw sea urchin, snow crab and salmon roe" 3300 yen- (There is price fluctuation because Hokkaido production sea urchin is used.)

Restaurant which remodeled a historic landmark for chiku about 115 years which stand near the Otaru canal. The store manager who says "He noticed abundance of the food in Otaru where he worked outside the way, was born and grew up." offers the creation Italian who used the ingredients from Otaru and Hokkaido.
"Port town seafood pasta" is the menu which used seafoods from Hokkaido abundantly and expressed retrospective port town and Otaru by some dear butter soy sauce flavors. Besides one piece which marinated local cuisine in Hokkaido where I fermented fish by koji "Izushi Fermented Sushi (I wasn't here and did.)" for a grapefruit is also inspiring a new wind in food culture in Otaru by a creative idea.

The time which is the space where pioneers' footprint is left and passes slowly is enjoyed.

The floor where rare brick wall, bruise and hollow are left already makes them feel the weight when piling up.

Something for the roots a building in a store is a red brick depot of construction "old Isono branch office depot" for 1906 years (in 1906), and by which a name of "ISO" is a building. Former days were used for about 40 years as the coffee shop which also became a stage of a novel and a movie "black-tailed gull shop". Regard to the history a floor, a door and a table in the "black-tailed gull shop" age were also left for a Restaurant floor of the 2nd floor now, and pioneers built, everywhere, I lodge.
The 3rd floor is a bar floor, and after enjoying a meal on the 2nd floor, it's possible to adjourn and enjoy liquor and coffee slowly. Summer cools off in sea breeze and some time when I calm down in a flame of a firewood fireplace is luxury an adult travels in winter.

The ability of the store manager who makes the ingredients familiar at Otaru evolve into the dish I don't have by now makes a local gourmet groan, too. Beer, wine and a cocktail also have abundant drinks which go well with a dish.

Store of the sushi and the Japanese food a parent and child does at the hill away from the Otaru-shi center a little. The noted store chosen as BIBUGURUMAN in "Michelin guide Hokkaido, 2017". Putting and grasp think I feel awkward in visiting and are reasonable from "Wabu" 2500 yen. When eating soy sauce, too much putting it can be stopped by the style applied by a brush (brush) by oneself and can't turn a grip over and can carry to the mouth smartly.
Multicolored sushi and the set menu which collected foods and drinks, "Shizu, possible", one table charm condensed. The proud "Kanroni of" body lack herring even a bone cooked soft can be satisfied with one's true value of a total every bite.

Delight of the food created by a parent and child. The pairing with wine made in a suburb is also excellent.

The sushi Japanese-style cooking course provided with every possible luxury can be tasted at the counter (13,200 yen-and Reservation required).

A domestic and abroad gourmet is charmed, "Shizu, possible", it's Wakadaisho with the man who grew long experience as a sushi craftsman and biographical notes which is the whole country victory by a Japanese food competition to maintain the taste. The thought that I say "I'd like to deliver the eaten pleasure using the local ingredients in the time." is inherited from my father tightly to my son.
Wakadaisho carries selection of a drink in a move, and you propose fitting one serving to food table wine. The selection of the wine made in Otaru suburb such as Yoichi and Niki is also enriched. Japanese food with the local ingredients and the terrorism whirl the wine created locally plays can be enjoyed to their heart's content.

The handsome space where the plain wood was made the basis and the noted store the craftsman's spirit made dignified makes daily life forget. It's away from the center a little, so I'll recommend you use of a taxi and a rental car.

It's satisfied with a food in Hokkaido and Mariage of wine.

Restaurant with a nostalgic atmosphere which made use of a built building of "old Hokkaido Bank main store" in 1912 (1912). The Western-style cooking which used the ingredients made in the way as well as wine from all part in the way where "barrel wine" was made the center abundantly can be tasted.
The chemistry with the wine by which a round baguette was a container just as it is for "Vine cheese foudue" and photograph shine are 1/10. I have steamed vegetables and sausage tie the hot cheese thinned with barrel wine. The bread into which cheese sank is also eaten wholly, and when a dish is emptied, a stomach is also big satisfaction.

Prosperity of "northern Wall Street" is born at the space where history is here.

I make in the store where bread stone was combined with a tree feel poise and warmth.

The area where a trading company and a bank compared and were called "northern Wall Street" formerly from the Meiji latter period to a Showa early stage around the store. The store outward appearance is a condition in the old Hokkaido Bank main store age mostly, and the part of the floor in at that time and the wall is also left. To stand across the slant around a street, "Bank of Japan old Otaru branch office" (It's opened to the public as a financial reference library at present.) I hope for a seat by the window in the regular customer visitor, I look at a street, and, the past, it's said that there are a lot of Shinobu people, too.
After enjoying a meal at the space at which history in a commercial town and Otaru lodges, a shopping at a wine shop of establishing as an annex is also recommended. About 100 kinds of wine selected carefully from all part in the way is even.

The line-up of the wine such as barrel wine is enriched, and the price is also reasonable from a glass of 380 yen. A wine lover also has an intolerable drinking bout set.

Noted store in the back alley where the palate in season for which I elaborated ideas gathers round

The pub where I pause quietly in a back alley on the arcaded street near the Otaru Station "Otaru capital street shopping district". Beautiful creation Japanese food can also be enjoyed with natural party wine and sake in an eye with the ingredients in season from all part in Otaru, the suburb and the way.
The advantage by which the quality of the ingredients by which the man of localness-upbringing cooperates with a producer and gets is "optimistic". The vegetables for luxury Restaurant which reach from a suburb farmhouse and the givier with outstanding freshness I get from a Hunter directly are sublimated in one dish of jewelry by the general abundant in originality. Only in the hunting season when the venison mince" into which charm of rich Japanese deer meat condensed iron is winter from autumn, you're enjoying yourself.

I get drunk on the delicious sake at the space at which the family's warmth lodges.

The sake the general who makes the chemistry of the food and the liquor important to the inside in a counter purchased personally is in a row.

My father who is the late head of the family becomes self-employed, and Nidai eye married couple manages a store at present including a store, "optimistic". When they're young, your daughter who was playing at a store will be my mother, too, and I take a child and am helping with a store now. "Michelin guide Hokkaido, 2017" cozy family-run is DE for not making them feel the height of the threshold though it's a BIBUGURUMAN post store.
I relax by a group and also have the table seat which can be spent, but if it's visited by 1-2 people, it's to a right or wrong counter seat. A fun dialogue of frank and talkative general, hostess and local regular customer visitor will be to lend gaiety some tipsy time.

The authentic Western food taught politely from one is particular about the material and popular.

The Western food store where the owner who came in Kyoto moved to attracted place and Otaru and opened it in 2009. "Mixed stew hamburger" of popular No.1 keeps adding for many years with the Hamburger Steak which used beef made in Kuromatsunai and pork, shut the flavor and baked it up plumply, and is one which can be satisfied with the proud demiglace sauce I made be matured.
Besides it has complete set of the colorful menu of the omelet and rice, the pasta and the Pork Loin Cutlet and also enriches the plate menu I heaped with the various taste. The polite work which neither uses a food processor nor regrets the time when all sauce and dressing are also homemade is a key of the gusto.

Space of the cure the light of a candle and pleasant music color

A painting, photograph and a picture plate are stylish, and maybe the decorated inside of store is a foreign cafe.

Soft Teruaki carves shadow in a wine red wall when an antique door made in England is opened, the space which calmed down receives. The one which chooses the candle which adds warmth to a table as a hand of your wife who comes into action as a candle author, too. The "candle keeping" which can light my candle is also doing display sale, and every coming to the store is also possible.
Attainments are also deep in music and owners are holding live broadcasting by a musician in the way inside and outside of the country and foreign countries irregularly at a store. The fan who is healed by the light of a candle, asks some time when a heart is amused from music and goes to "Muse" doesn't cease, either.

The self-confident work by which an owner has called and has completed a recipe for 8 years for demiglace sauce. The cow muscle by which the collagen is much and the mellow taste by which tomato and flavorous vegetables were boiled carefully for red wine don't collect.
