You can’t get much fresher seafood then at a seafood market! Ta Ke E Sushi is located in Sapporo and is in the Nijo Market. The market is in central Sapporo across from the Tanuki Koji Shopping arcade. There are a few very small restaurants here where sightseers and locals alike can go shopping for seafood and sample some fresh produce. The seating numbers here are tiny, of usually up to five places. But if the restaurant is full, then you will be given a time to during the day to come back.

| Location | The store is in the Factory complex in Sapporo. It is an 8 minute walk north from the 'Bus Centre Mae' subway station. The food court is on the B1 floor. 4 Chome-1-2 Kita 2 Johigashi, Chuo Ward, Sapporo, Hokkaido 060-0032 |
Seikarou is located in the popular large shopping complex in Sapporo, named Factory. Seikarou is a small ‘anman’ take out restaurant in the food court area of Factory. Anman is a soft steamed hot bun filled with either sweet or savory ingredients. Namely minced pork fillings or sweet red bean paste. At Seitarou, the most popular anman seems to be the spicy miso pork bun! Other types of anman buns include beef, shrimp, and crab. All of these delicious goodies are only a few hundred yen each. It’s a good idea to get in early when a fresh batch has just been cookedd up in the large bamboo pots. Once they are ready though, a line quickly forms so get in quick. A couple of anman are a great warm snack to enjoy during a day of shopping. They also have coffee here. And as a bonu, you can keep your food ticket after ordering and get a discount at the Sapporo Factory cinema, United Cinemas.

| Notes | Takoyaki bar, highballs served, outside seating, smoking outside |
| Location | There are two takoyaki bars in Sapporo and both can be found in Tanukikoji shopping arcade. |
There are two Takoyaki & Highball bars in Sapporo and they can both be found in the Tanukikoji Shopping Arcade. Both these bars are pretty much identical. They can both be identified by their bright red exterior plus they both have outside seating throughout the whole year (including winter). Takoyaki is a fried ball-shaped snack that is filled with chopped octopus (tako), pickled ginger and green onion. The balls are coated with takoyaki sauce (similar to Worcestershire sauce) and mayonnaise. Takoyaki is a delicious snack and the servings hold six takoyaki balls. At Takoyaki & Highball they have many different kinds of toppings they add on to their octopus balls. At these bars they have some unique toppings such as the cod roe with mayonnaise, melted cheese, or fried garlic. These are all equally good!
Each of these tako sets range from around ¥600 to ¥1200 depending on the topping and the complexity. At Takoyaki & Highball they also have other things on the menu besides takoyaki. They have a steak noodle dish, an octopus pizza, and an octopus ahijo dish. So, we have looked at one half of the business. It’s time to delve into the other part of this bar. The name is Takoyaki & Highball and so the drink of choice that accompanies the octopus balls is indeed a highball. A highball being whiskey (the whiskey being Jim Beam in this case) mixed with soda with a lemon slice garnish. It is indeed a refreshing drink and goes well with the food here! They also serve beer and cocktails such as a lemon sour. This is a great place to stop for a drink and people watch.
