お惣菜Kuu

About

お惣菜Kuu, on Hokkaido, sits on the first floor of a market building at Minato 1 Chome−6−28, Wakkanai, 097-0021, in the island's far north.

First-time visitors will find the venue inside a market building, so entering the complex and heading to the ground floor is the way in. It holds a 4.6/5 rating from 7 reviews, a strong result from a small sample of diners. The Instagram account at instagram.com/deli_cafe_kuu__/ is the business's online presence for anyone wanting a look beforehand.

Wakkanai is a long way from Sapporo, Hakodate, Otaru, Furano, Niseko, Asahikawa, Kushiro and Abashiri, so reaching the northern tip is usually part of a wider Hokkaido itinerary. Rail and road connections run the length of the island.

Japanese meals commonly centre on rice served with miso soup, pickles and grilled fish, and prepared side dishes fit that pattern. Japan has four distinct seasons, with hot humid summers and cold winters that bring snow in the north, so warm clothing suits a Wakkanai visit.
