Hokkaido is an absolute SEAFOOD PARADISE. Today I am taking you to Otaru, just 25 minutes train ride from Sapporo. Here in Otaru you can find the Triangle Fish Market, where you can sample various seafoods. Some you may love, some you may hate! Don’t leave town without checking out the picturesque canal Otaru is known for. The many glass shops are where you can pick up your souvenirs, but I am here to eat!

You know he smashed 😂
😊👍
I agree with Mink! I'd rather eat ice cream when it's cold. I can't stand melted ice cream lol
Ooo no rock's for your whisky… Small amount of room temp water is your best bet to release the flavour. But scotch is better than Japanese… But we are biased as we are Scottish!
luke got a new girlfriend?
😍😍😍😍😍
Thanks you Luke,
You have shown me so many beautiful things in the world! To be safe everywhere you go God Bless!!! 🙏
glass is awesome! i loved that part and the work in some of those glasses was breath taking
that was a buzzz tour thanx !!!
Yes! No…😂
i like to travel Japan. they know the tourist doesn't speak Japanese, so they offer menu with pictures for us to ease order.
Uni is delicious, but if you get served old uni, you’ll hate it! It has to be fresh.
I too am a lover of sushi (haven't tried Uni though…yet!) That first bowl for $21 is a deal when comparing what one can get in other cities. The poke bowl I had today in Canada was 'ok'…not like your experience I'm quite, quite sure 😆😆(and it was $25 lol!). Thanks for another great food vlog!
nice it's going to be a good night lol..great content

@Luke lets hope your head is on your shoulder!!! As always your food vlog is on point. Remember things will always come and go.
At least you’re not eating herrings and jellied eels. Uni is best enjoyed without rice
🍻💙
Drink it neat. Ice dilutes the flavor.
I love mink so muth, natural and look catchy cassualy
You haven't been to Scotland? Please come! Lots of whisky distillerys and good food in Aberdeenshire 😊

~ ⛩ Really enjoy your Channel, but especially your visits to Japan; not SOLELY because I am Japanese. 😉 Have you tried the Sapporo Or Hibiki Whiskeys? 🥃
👍👍👍
Cool vlog, food looks delicious & the glassware is so beautiful:)
Salmon poke bowl my favourite ❤❤

Kaisendon!!!!❤ the best!!!!!
Then Nikka!!! 🥃
👌🏻
looks delicious
nice travel video😊
Yeah it's true i think , most of my friends also likes icecream in cold weather ,me too
Otaru is my hometown and Yoichi is my birthplace.
Thank you for introducing Otaru.
Otaru is famous for the glass hall, but the music box hall is also quite popular with tourists.
Unlike Tokyo, Osaka or Kyoto, it is not crowded with people.
I would like everyone to take a trip to Hokkaido.
Great video – did you have to reserve for the free tour at Nikka?
The most overflowing sea urchin seafood bowl in Japan looks delicious, I want to eat it👍
Wow, nice japan ❤❤❤❤
What flavour is soft serve? Is it vanilla or just milk?
probably pass on this one
"im not into glass" LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No more white girl??
Is mink on a diet ? , Hardly any food left for her on the seafood bowl , you almost finished it Luke 😂🙃
Bought a bottle of Yoichi from a locak shop a few months ago. It was OK. I'll stick with Campelltown and Islay malts. My second bottle of Japanese Malt came last week from my brother for my 82nd. It was produced in Akashi by Eigashima Shuzo. Way over priced; glad I didn't pay for it but it is a nice whiskey. A tip for your future travels in Japan. I enjoyed the Otoru and Sapporo vids so much I'm heading there in August for a couple of weeks. Do I dare mention your name> :<)
