Marutoma Shokudo
A fishermen's diner inside Tomakomai's wholesale seafood market, operating for over 59 years. Opens at 5 AM and lines of 50+ people form even on weekdays, with fishermen, port workers, and regulars. Processes 800+ Hokki (surf clam) per day — Tomakomai is #1 in Japan for Hokki harvest. The Hokki Curry is loaded with giant, meaty clams. #1 restaurant in Tomakomai on TripAdvisor (4.0/220 reviews).
"Worth lining up from 5 AM. The crunchy Hokki clam texture paired with rich curry is incredible." "The place fishermen eat every day. This is real harbor food." "Eating Hokki Don surrounded by the energy of a live fish market is something else."
