Reported by He Guanxian / Comprehensive report

A seafood lover’s paradise—don’t miss this famous izakaya “Umi wa Hachikyo (Hachikyo Rausu Cuisine)” when traveling in Hokkaido, Japan. Known for its fresh seafood, its most jaw-dropping and must-order dish is the “Tsukko Meshi (salmon roe<饭）”，师傅会在你面前，大杓大杓地将鲑鱼卵加入碗中，一直加到快满出来为止。

To enjoy this bowl of salmon<饭并不简单，除了Hachikyo的高人气让你必须提前订位才知吃得到之外，要享用这道料理还有须个必须遵守的小规则。点了这道料理后会先上一碗白饭，之后会有师傅抱着一大盆的鲑鱼卵走到你面前，而在这期间并不能到触碰料理，否则会是会被没收的呢！

First, the chef holding the salmon roe recites a short blessing and some guidelines, then enthusiastically and energetically keeps scooping and adding endless spoonfuls of salmon roe into your bowl—not only covering the original rice completely but even piling it up into a small mound. Actually, during this process, you can ask them to stop if needed, because if you can’t finish it, you’ll have to donate money into a box to support families of local fishermen who have maritime accidents, as well as help with cleaning rivers and seas. So when you feel the amount of salmon roe has become overwhelming, be sure to shout “S-S-S-S-Stop!”
