A huge complex where you can eat, buy, and enjoy Kushiro’s seafood

In July 2018, Sennosuke—a seafood-focused complex—opened in Kushiro Town. Operated by Sasaya Shoten, a fish processing company based in the Kushiro region, it occupies a massive building that houses a shopping area, seafood barbecue space, and an eatery renowned for its seafood dishes. It even features the region’s first aquarium, making it a true fish-themed destination. Sasaya Shoten sells “Sensaba,” a unique over-night dried product created by wrapping Kushiro mackerel in a special sheet and aging it at low-temperature to remove excess moisture. You can grill Sensaba and enjoy it on the spot at the barbecue space on the first floor or savor it as part of the set meals served at the eatery on the second floor. The shopping area offers Sensaba and other original products, such as Kushiro-caught Shishamo smelt and extra-large sardines. All items are processed fresh at the company’s own factory after being brought to shore at Kushiro Port. Careful attention is also paid to seasonings, and only products that pass strict quality checks are sold. These items are perfect as souvenirs from Kushiro, a city known for its seafood.
