小樽 巽(たつみ)鮨
寿司屋通りをウロウロして、良さそうなお店を探す。このすし屋にしたのは、カニの刺身が食べられるからだった。カニの刺身は、前に札幌訪れた時に、一回食べたことがあって、そのうまさが忘れなくて。
懲りなくて一貫目やっぱりウニ、、、だめだった、涙。
珍しい「ぶどう海老」。

7時ぐらい行ったら、奇蹟にも、並んでる人いなかった。1人で2人前の肉を食べ(写真は一人前の量)、キムチとご飯は2人でシェアして、1人2000円ぐらい。お肉は味付いてなくても、焼いただけでもすごく美味しい~。羊の癖は平気だけど、この店の肉は癖がなくて、食べやすい。自家製のキムチもグッド。お店出た時には、やっぱりすごい行列だった、、、。その後、バーを探しにすすきのの辺でウロウロしたら、「だるま探してるの?」とか、「だるまはあっちだよ。」とか、通りがかりの人に声掛けられた。すごい有名店なんだね、、、。
Last time I went to Hokkaido I tried crab sashimi for the first time and I was shocked how tasty it was! But you never see crab sashimi in Tokyo - the crab has to be super fresh you see. So this time since we were half giving up uni, we went hunting crab sashimi in Otaru. We went to a different sushi place first, my friend saw the show case and hinted to me "Let's get out". ^^;; So we were loitering along the "sushi restaurants street" and chose this place when it got late(lunch time) and we were really hungry. The uni was really bad, as expected, I wonder why we insisted ordering it...But oh my, the crab sashimi was really good~!! Better than the first time I had it. We tried tarabagani, the same kind of crab we had the previous night but this time raw, it was so good that I ordered one more later and the chef was so nice he gave me a big big piece. We also tried a different crab called zuwaigani, which was a little bitter but nice too. There was little piece of rice underneath the crab. We were very satisfied and went to have ice-cream again in 北菓楼 - which was definitely the best ice-cream I have ever had! So rich so milky! I bought a lot of souvenirs(cookies, cakes etc.) in this shop too. The BBQ is Genghis Kan(成吉思汗), mutton barbecue, I have had it in Tokyo but it is more popular in Hokkaido. The lamb meat is not flavoured so it is just plain grill and dip sauce, but the meat is very tender and tasty and both my friend and I ordered a second round. The shop is super famous, always a long queue, but miraculously we went at the right moment that we didn't have to queue. We shared the kimchi and the rice and were really stuffed - as usual.

Ah same for me for scallop, I had an aversion toward the cooked flavor of scallop.../__\

Actually, I am not a big fan of that unique flavour of cooked crab, that's why I prefer raw ones. ^^;; Just like scallop, I prefer it raw, which is sweet, rather that cooked, cos cooked ones have this distinct taste, which I don't hate but certainly not a fan of.

I think the closest to crab sashimi I had was those raw spicy crab at Korean restaurant, and if fresh it must be really really good! Wow~ Though it might be a little 'waste' because cooked crab has this unique flavor you know~~

Can't believe that normal soft icecream cone is really that good...haha! Wow I never try Genghis kan BBQ before~~~

The sushi looks amazing! Wow that BBQ corn...yummmy~~ I wanna try that so bad!

Who did you go to Hokkaido with?

Joan | October 11, 2005 03:16 PM

So is the soft icecream really good? (totally justify its Hokkaido fame? ^^:;;) gosh now I want sushi too.

The grilled corn is so interesting, so colorful~
Is that koreran hotpot at the end?

やっぱり超有名店ですね。
並ぶ覚悟したのに、全然行列できなくて、
あれ?と思ったんですけど、
ただ運がよかっただけですね。
