Shiretoko Food
Similarly to the rest of Hokkaido, Shiretoko is popular for their seafood, and also an amazing view from the restaurant, which is why we decided to share with you a few restaurants with a great view of the sea!
Shiretoko Restaurant
Shiretoko Kaigan Shokudo
Shiretoko Kaigan Shokudo is next to the seaside, and reservation is needed to eat inside as there are many tourists from the lodging house. The terrace seats are actually nice, since you’ll be able to look at the seas, especially on a clear day. The best season to visit is probably Summer. There are 40 seats, and the menu is available in several languages besides Japanese.
Information
- Spot name: Shiretoko Kaigan Shokudo (知床海岸食堂)
- Street address: 361 Utorohigashi, Shari, Shari District, Hokkaido 099-4355, Japan
- Access: From the Utoro Shari Station, take the Shari bus (~50 minutes ride) and then you’re three minutes by shuttle bus away from the restaurant. You probably need to reserve the shuttle bus, or walk there.
Utoro Fishermans' Wives Co-operative Diner
A reasonably priced diner with fresh fish and tasty rice bowls. From the counter seats, you can have a view of the sea as you chew through salmon roe and sea urchins filled with the flavours of the sea. If rice bowls aren’t your favourite, you can also try their ramen or curry rice, but you’re really missing out if you order something that doesn’t have fish or seafood! Prices of sea urchin (uni) and salmon roe (ikura) bowl depends on the season, but their salmon roe bowl is 2,000 yen, and their fried rice is 800 yen.
