In the sea near Otaru in February and March, you can see a phenomenon called “Kuki”, a phenomenon in which large shoals of herring rush into shallow waters to spawn and the sea turns milky white. Otaru used to be a town that prospered with herring. In 1954, the herring disappeared from the sea of Otaru, and at that time it was called [Otaru of the declining sun]. It’s been 50 years since the herring became a phantom fish. Since 2009, suddenly a large group of herring appeared. I remember my predecessor who lived in “Otaru of the Declining Sun” shouting with joy.

We offer [Herring KUKI Soba] only in Festival.
I expressed KUKI with young cloth and tororo in a warm soba bowl. On top of that, herring is simmered for a long time so that you can’t feel the small bones, and it melts in your mouth. Enjoy the texture of eating soba and herring roe together.

Nami-ko(Inported) ¥2,400
Jimono-ko(Hokkaido Local) ¥2,600
