For a sushi restaurant that excellently showcases Tottori prefecture’s ocean bounty, it is odd that it’s named after Hokkaido, Tottori’s primary rival as Japan’s source of fresh seafood. Kaiten Sushi Hokkaido Kaike or just Hokkaido Sushi is a conveyor belt sushi restaurant that has faithful patrons from all around the prefecture.
I’ve tried a great deal of sushi locations all around Japan as well as this Yonago treasure is amazing on three counts: the freshness as well as high quality of its toppings, the generous serving, as well as the low price. The freshness shouldn’t shock since Yonago lies just next to Sakaiminato, the fishing base of Western Japan for practically a century now as well as is house to Sakai fishing Port, Tottori’s largest fish port.
The huge serving, however, amazed me. I’ve come to expect conveyor belt sushi locations to serve pieces with thin toppings. I was so happy that Hokkaido Sushi wasn’t like that. The cuts,even of the most valued components like fatty tuna, are thick as well as practically double the surface area of the rice ball.
Here are some pieces that stood out: red snapper, sawara (Spanish mackerel), flounder, mackerel, as well as tuna otoro.

Kaigan je ještě jedna restaurace s mořskými plody, která slouží nejčerstvějším sashimi ve městě. Probudili jsme se opravdu brzy, abychom zažili krabí aukci v rybářském přístavu Sakai. Protože se Kaigan otevře v 7 hodin ráno, šli jsme k němu přímo k snídani.
Kaigan podává pouze 100% čerstvé mořské plody. Neslouží zmrazeným krabům. Za předpokladu, že jejich umístění mají jednoduchý rutinní přístup k oceánskému odměně. Stejně jako Kaiyou-Tei je Kai-Gan pro jeho Kaisendon i pro krabí jídla prominentní. Rovněž nabízejí krab-all-you-can za ¥ 3000 na osobu, skvělé po dobu 35 minut.
Když jsme zde večeřili, majitel/manažer restaurace odmítl přijmout naše splátky, protože uvedli, že jsme jejich prvním klientem dne, takže je s největší pravděpodobností jejich tradice.

Nastavte jídlo s nejrůznějším sashimi: ¥ 1400

Takauna Ramen se nachází ve městě Kotoura. Pokud však plánujete jít do Hokuei (město Conan), je to poněkud po cestě. Trochu, haha. Stejně je to rychle snadno dostupné.
Zatímco zbytek světa je v Tonkotsu Ramen, jehož vývar je vyroben z vepřových kostí, Tottori využívá kosti skotu v jejich Gyukotsu Ramen. Doposud jsem byl na 21 prefekturách, stejně jako Tottori využívá tuto komponentu jako základnu pro jejich vývar. Je to vzácné, ano, ale ne přesně překvapivé, za předpokladu, že prefektura je afinita hovězího masa.
Takauna je jedním z mála míst na světě, která slouží Gyukotsu Ramen. Takauna využívá 100% kosti skotu ve vývaru, zvýrazněné skalní solí. Každá lžíce poskytla úder silné hovězí chuti. Každá mísa pevných vlnitých nudlí je korunována pomalu vařeným chashu (vepřové břicho), nori (mořské řasy), bambusové výhonky a ekologickou cibuli. Jak můj spoluhráč Asta, tak i já jsem dokončil misku v žádném okamžiku. Nejlepší část je to jen ¥ 600.
