Jinbei 魚河岸甚平 (Sapporo, JAPAN) ★★★☆☆

Despite taking the earliest flight from Hong Kong, we didn't get to Sapporo station until well after noon time. Thankfully, check-in was a breeze so we still got to enjoy a late lunch. 



Instead of venturing out of Sapporo station, we decided to try our luck by randomly picking one of the Japanese restaurants at the underground mall. We ended up picking Jinbei (魚河岸甚平) after getting attracted by the display of a number of their signature dishes.



Using mostly seasonal Hokkaido ingredients, Jinbei offers a wide range of delicious seafood dishes on the west wing of PASEO dining



Tokujo three colors bowl (特上三色丼) - Jelloman was sold on this colorful don as soon as she saw it from the display counter. As one of the most popular dishes around here, it came with fresh salmon roes, snow crab meat and of course, Hokkaido sea urchin! Very tasty.



Crab leg tempura don - But I thought my crab leg tempura don was even more mouthwatering. Look at these meaty crab legs deep-fried with a crispy thin batter. I won't trade this for anything else. 



Baked sea scallops - These were cooked in butter. Not bad.
