Sapporo is famed for the quality of its seafood, which is caught in the cold waters off the Hokkaido coast. Crab is probably the most prized, but shrimps and cold-water fish are also packed full of flavour.

For the biggest collection of restaurants, head to Tanukikoji station, you’ll find every regional cuisine here, along with plenty of Japanese options.
