Hokkaido Kaisendon (Three-Colour Seafood Bowl) · Sapporo
A Sapporo morning bowl of vinegared rice topped with the day's Hokkaido seafood, typically a three-colour stack of king crab, sea urchin and salmon ikura.
Kaisendon (mixed seafood over rice) is a national Japanese format, but the Sapporo version emerged at Nijo Market and the Sapporo Curb Market in the 1980s as the markets' donburi shops codified a three-colour topping rule: king crab, sea urchin and salmon ikura. By the 1990s, sanshoku-don (three-colour) was the postcard order at every market shop; the 2010s saw the formats expand to four-colour and seven-colour configurations at Nijo Market's Ohiso shop and others. The bowl now defines Sapporo morning eating.
