Delicious-looking foods such as "Tempura Ramen" "Tachikama" and " Codfish roasted whole". They meet "Taramaru," a mascot character based on the motif of a walleye pollock. The first dish they found was "cod belly rolls". They also enjoy 12 kinds of sushi using freshly caught seasonal ingredients. Other winter delicacies such as "soy sauce simmered cod" and "tachipon" (cod milt) are also excellent. In Iwanai Town, visitors can taste "deep water" collected from deep within the sea. It is used for cooking, and is also used in the famous "cod whole roast". The crust, to which deep water is added, is crispy when freshly made and becomes firmer when slightly cooled. When the neon lights come on in the downtown area, you will miss drinking. The restaurant I visited had handmade "tachikama," a delicacy only available during this season. Its thick texture and umami taste will make you want to drink more sake. The "Western-style back menu" served on Japanese plates is also worth mentioning.
