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!

  1. I agree with Mink! I'd rather eat ice cream when it's cold. I can't stand melted ice cream lol

  2. 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!

  3. Thanks you Luke,
    You have shown me so many beautiful things in the world! To be safe everywhere you go God Bless!!! 🙏

  4. glass is awesome! i loved that part and the work in some of those glasses was breath taking

  5. i like to travel Japan. they know the tourist doesn't speak Japanese, so they offer menu with pictures for us to ease order.

  6. 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!

  7. @Luke lets hope your head is on your shoulder!!! As always your food vlog is on point. Remember things will always come and go.

  8. You haven't been to Scotland? Please come! Lots of whisky distillerys and good food in Aberdeenshire 😊

  9. you cant find food without a girlfriend if were they from, since sabrina from looks like from uerope or something and your new girlfriend looks like asian lol btw dont block me because i subscribed but if you block me i will delete
    your channel also 😛

  10. ~ ⛩ Really enjoy your Channel, but especially your visits to Japan; not SOLELY because I am Japanese. 😉 Have you tried the Sapporo Or Hibiki Whiskeys? 🥃

  11. 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.

  12. The most overflowing sea urchin seafood bowl in Japan looks delicious, I want to eat it👍

  13. 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> :<)
