Kushiro Washo Ichiba Katte-Don

Katte-don is one of Kushiro's premier culinary experiences. This popular dish served at Washo Ichiba allows you to choose sashimi "however you like", which is where it gets its name, "katte". First, buy the amount of rice you want from a store in the market, then head over to a shop where rows of sashimi are waiting to be selected for your katte-don. Select whichever sashimi you prefer and the clerk will place it on your rice for you. Pay your bill at each place you visit, covering your rice with sashimi until no space is left uncovered, then finish your creation off with some soy sauce and wasabi. Besides katte-don, you will also find grilled fish meal sets, nigiri sushi and ramen at the market.

Kumaushi Mashu Soba

Long ago, many salmon finished their journey up Kushiro River in Teshikaga. The Ainu people called this area where salmon were cured "kuma ushi", and this is where this shop, which serves mill-ground Mashu buckwheat flour soba noodles, gets its name. Mashu buckwheat flour is so rare that some have called it a mirage. This soba is made by hand in the early morning to ensure you enjoy the freshest of soba. Vegetables used here are only those collected in the surrounding local area. The delicious buta-don, pork over rice, is made with Lake Akan pork, and the aroma as it is grilled is sure to whet your appetite. It's also been quite trendy to leave out the soba and enjoy a soup with only the other ingredients.

Onsen Kobo Akan Crayfish Carbonara

At this establishment, lake lobster is served on a bed of flat noodles in a rich sauce as crayfish carbonara. You can also enjoy your meal as you soak your feet in the footbath inside the shop. The store also sells the famous Marimo Yohkan, a sweet bean desert shaped like marimo (algae balls). The store is directly managed by Hokkaido Marimoseika, so it features some products that you won't find anywhere else. Other dishes served are hometown favorites, such as spaghetti with venison meat sauce, local vegetables and Akan pork.
