Shiretoko Dinner Map

The Utoro area in Shiretoko is a remote region renowned for its fresh seafood, including sea urchin, salmon roe, and king crab. However, the number of restaurants is very limited. Therefore, we strongly recommend having dinner at one of the excellent Ryokan that provide wonderful meals. Some ryokan also serve ‘Appemeshi(あっぺ飯)’ a delicious local dish made with salmon and salmon roe, which is highly recommended.
