Sapporo Jogai I Chiba Fish Market (Curb Market)

Previously:
Ramen Alley, Sapporo

It was around mid of March when we went to Sapporo.  So the percentage of snowing was really tiny around that time of the year.  Though the ground was still covered with white ice.  But of course what I wanted to see was snow falling.  Today, my wish became true.  At that day we went to Jogai market (Curb market).  We left our hotel pretty early in the morning then caught subway to Nijuyonken station.  It was no sign at all for snow.  In the matter of less than 20 minutes, the sky changed.  Once we walked out from the underground station to the main road in Nijuyonken Station, first we felt the freezing breeze from out there then we started to see white light cotton-like snow was falling from the sky, very heavily.  People were speedily walking, some even running to avoid the cold and wet.  But we against the norm.  We played and enjoyed the snow as much as we could.  So tourist hahaha...

Jogai Fish Market

From fresh seafood to fruits are available in this very market.  The famous Kani Honke (Hokkaido carb) is huge and it can scrap the money more than ten of thousand yen out of your pocket.  The fruits are fresh and plump as well.  It is also cheaper compared to the other markets out there.  Not to be missed are their honeydew melon and strawberries.  Very very sweet and juicy.

A lot of seafood stalls on the first floor, open as a restaurant upstairs.  Therefore, they get the super fresh seafood daily from their own store.  We went overboard when ordering the food for breakfast.  It might be because we were hungry or we overwhelmed by great choices.

Grilled corn 260¥

Beef (Japanese black pig) 593¥

Seafood don 2,780¥

Sushi set (10 pieces) 2,180¥

Grilled salmon breakfast set 1,580¥

What a great breakfast meal we had!!  However, we left with a very big round tummy.  Too full.  That's why do not order food when you are hungry.
