Furarito
A Nostalgic Journey into Asahikawa’s Golden Age
Savor the smoky aroma of charcoal-grilled Shinko-yaki in a historic alleyway brimming with Showa-era charm.
Step into "5-7 Koji Furarito," a culinary sanctuary in Asahikawa where 18 unique eateries line a 100-meter-long alley. This historic spot, which began as the "Central Market" in 1920, transports visitors back to the early Showa period the moment they enter. Narrow lanes filled with rustic wooden signs and the soft glow of hanging lanterns create a warm, nostalgic atmosphere that feels like a hidden treasure.
As evening falls, the appetizing scent of charcoal-grilled meat fills the air, mingling with the cheerful laughter of locals and travelers alike. The alley is home to a diverse selection of establishments, including traditional izakayas, ramen shops, sushi bars, and specialty sake stores.
The undisputed star of Furarito is "Shinko-yaki"—a succulent half-chicken roasted to perfection. Experience the satisfying crunch of the crispy skin and the burst of hot, savory juices, best enjoyed with a glass of local Hokkaido sake. When visiting Asahikawa, be sure to wander through this timeless alley to discover the authentic taste of the city’s soul food.
