Nijo Market
二条市場
A seafood market in central Sapporo that began in the Meiji era, with about 50 fresh-fish shops and eateries. A bowl of seafood donburi for breakfast is the classic choice.
Nijo Market lies southeast of Odori Park, beside the Sosei River. It began in the early Meiji period when fishermen sold their catch here. Today about 50 shops sell Hokkaido seafood and produce, including crab, sea urchin, salmon roe and scallops. You can taste the food on the spot or have it shipped. Many seafood donburi restaurants in and around the market attract visitors who come specifically for breakfast. Shops are open about 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM, and most restaurants open from 7:00 AM. Getting there: about 5 minutes' walk from Bus Center-mae Station on the subway, or about 10 minutes' walk from Odori Station. Prices are geared toward tourists, so confirm the origin and price when buying crab.
