Hokkaido has a unique sushi culture that is different from Edomae. As the slang term "Ezomae" suggests, there are many restaurants that use fresh seafood without preserving it in vinegar or salt.

Otaru has a large port and is known as a treasure trove of seafood, a bounty of Ishikari Bay, and is also famous as a city of sushi.The fresh, high-quality seafood gained a reputation, and young people who had trained all over the country from the Taisho to Meiji periods flocked to Otaru to open restaurants.

The street lined with nearly 20 sushi restaurants in the area heading towards the canal from Otaru Station is known as "Sushi Street." Not only do the ingredients here have high quality, but chefs from all over the country come to compete with each other to show off their skills.
