Feast on Local Fish with Regulars at Shusaitei Kihachi

Shusaitei Kihachi is the place to enjoy carefully selected seafood caught from the Sea of Okhotsk, including a variety of famous whale dishes. With counter seating and sunken kotatsu-style private seating, the calm ambience of this restaurant makes it perfect for entertaining or stepping out on a date. As Abashiri is a whaling base, there are many dishes unique to the area, but the handmade whale bacon (1848¥), seasoned only with salt, has a depth to its taste that allows you to savor the richness of the ingredients. Visitors can also expect to find other premium local delicacies, such as the seasonal fish known as kinki.
