kaisendon
Japan · East Asia
Kaisendon is a bowl of white rice topped with seafood, often an assortment of sashimi. Hokkaido versions may combine tuna, shrimp, scallops, salmon and salmon roe. The seafood is arranged over the rice rather than formed into individual sushi pieces, and the selection draws on the different catches available around the island.[1]
Seafood bowls are served at Hokkaido's fish markets and morning markets, including Hakodate, Sapporo and Otaru. At Kushiro's Washo Market, the katte-don system lets customers buy rice and choose seafood toppings from the stalls. Early-opening market restaurants also make these bowls available as a morning meal.[1]
