Monbetsu is renowned for its premium pufferfish and Okhotsk Sea oysters. Sarufutsu is a leading producer of scallops, offering exceptionally fresh catches. Wakkanai, as Japan's northernmost city, is famous for a variety of high-quality crabs. These regions collectively provide a rich selection of fresh seafood from the Sea of Okhotsk, forming a highlight of any gourmet trip.
The optimal season for enjoying fresh seafood in Monbetsu, Sarufutsu, and Wakkanai largely depends on the specific delicacy. Crabs are often best enjoyed in winter, while scallops and oysters can be excellent in spring and autumn. Pufferfish also has peak seasons, typically in colder months. Generally, the colder months from autumn to spring offer the widest range of prime seafood.
For a gourmet trip focusing on seafood in Monbetsu, Sarufutsu, and Wakkanai, the period from late autumn to early spring (roughly October to March) is highly recommended. This allows travelers to experience the freshest crab, pufferfish, and other seasonal catches from the Sea of Okhotsk, complementing the unique natural beauty of Japan's northernmost regions.
In Wakkanai, guests can anticipate a luxurious crab-filled dinner featuring four types of crab, including a whole hairy crab per person, king crab hotpot, and snow crab. Monbetsu's seafood dinner includes delicious octopus shabu-shabu and fresh oysters from the Okhotsk Sea. These meals highlight the diverse and rich seafood bounty of the region.
The tour provides comfortable transportation for sightseeing at Cape Soya, Cape Noshappu, and Wakkanai Station. As part of a structured tour departing from Tokyo, all necessary ground transportation between these significant landmarks in Wakkanai is arranged, ensuring a smooth and convenient travel experience for participants.
In Sarufutsu, renowned as a premier scallop producing area, the gourmet dining experience centers around an exceptional scallop-filled lunch. This meal features a generous serving equivalent to more than seven scallops, prepared to highlight their natural sweetness and freshness. It's a key culinary highlight showcasing Sarufutsu's local specialty.
In Monbetsu, beyond the famous crabs, the gourmet journey includes other distinct seafood delicacies. Guests can enjoy exquisite pufferfish, a local specialty known for its unique texture. Additionally, the seafood dinner features flavorful octopus shabu-shabu, offering a warm and interactive dining experience with fresh Okhotsk Sea oysters.
The tour highlights key attractions in Wakkanai, Japan's northernmost city. Main sightseeing spots include Cape Soya, the true northernmost point of Japan, offering panoramic views. Cape Noshappu is another scenic cape known for its beautiful sunsets and an aquarium. Wakkanai Station, as the northernmost station, also holds unique cultural significance.
