Otaru Sakaimachi Dori Shopping Street | Review by Star

I bought this at the Hankyu Department Store in Umeda. I heard this cake shop is a must-try when visiting Osaka. The cake was good overall, but personally, I still prefer Yannick's cake rolls.

Before coming here, I saw a lot of news reports saying that Kuromon Market overcharges foreign tourists and sells things at very high prices, so I was a little worried. But when I actually visited, I didn't think it was that outrageous, and I had some super delicious sea urchin and Shine Muscat grapes here!!

This is another location I came to specifically to visit a spot featured in Detective Conan: The Million-dollar Pentagram. The interior looks exactly like the scene in the movie, which is genuinely moving for Conan fans.

This time, I again ordered the restaurant's signature Chinese Chicken Burger. Maybe it was because I hadn't eaten all day, but this one somehow tasted especially good. (Additional note: The Chinese Chicken Burger is the restaurant's best-selling item. It has crispy fried chicken with a distinctive sauce. Some people describe it as sweet-and-sour, but I personally think it tastes better than regular sweet-and-sour sauce.) The balance of sweet and tangy flavors in the sauce is especially good, and the portion is just right. Even though I don't usually like sweet-and-sour sauce, I really like the flavor of this burger.

Also, this location is larger than the other one. In addition to burgers, it sells merchandise, so you can browse around after eating.

The restaurant's official slogan is "函館に恋して 海がよんでいる," which roughly means "Fall in love with Hakodate, captivated by the sea." Enjoying the romantic atmosphere while eating a burger and looking out at the ocean view in Hakodate—if you're planning to visit the Kanemori Red Brick Warehouse, I'd recommend this location over the other one.
