Satou Shokudo
さとう食堂
An old canteen directly opposite the Oshidomari Ferry Terminal, famous for its Rishiri sea urchin rice bowl and seaweed ramen
Located directly opposite the Oshidomari Ferry Terminal on Rishiri Island, so it is right there as soon as you disembark. The signature is a sea urchin rice bowl made with Rishiri sea urchin, sourced from a dedicated processing facility. Depending on the catch, it is served with purple sea urchin or ezo bafun uni (horse-dung sea urchin). The other signature is seaweed ramen with a Rishiri kombu broth, topped with wakame, umi-ro and other seaweeds. The area is most crowded just before and after ferry departures and arrivals, so arrive early. Cash only. Sea urchin prices fluctuate greatly from year to year, and a horse-dung sea urchin rice bowl can reach around 10,000 yen.
Opening hours
About 9:00–15:00 (late April to late October; no fixed closing day, hours vary with ingredients and season)
