“Sankaku” means triangle, derived from the shape of the market’s roof and layout. Sankaku Ichiba is located just to the left of Otaru Station, within a 30-second walk. The market was founded in 1948 with 7-8 open booths initially.
It is one of the oldest and most famous markets not only in Otaru but also in Hokkaido. Spanning a narrow corridor just 2 meters wide and 200 meters long, it houses 16 shops.
All shops offer seafood and farm products, with some serving seafood donburi and sushi. Each shop buzzes with customers. The price of seafood donburi typically starts at around 3000 yen, which is average for Otaru and not excessively high.
Here, you can savor fresh fish and seafood that are hard to find elsewhere, all at reasonable prices that won’t disappoint.
