Why we send people here

Meat-sauce spaghetti under a fried cutlet on a screaming-hot iron plate — invented at this very restaurant in 1960 to fight exactly this climate.

Why it earns the hours
  • Short enough to be certain of: 45 min door to door, so even a tender day works.
  • Reachable on foot from the berth, so no timetable can strand you.
The story

Why Spa-katsu at Izumiya is famous

Spa-katsu, spaghetti with a pork cutlet and meat sauce on one plate, was created at Izumiya in 1960, a year after the restaurant opened, and never left Kushiro. It is served on a hot iron plate and the portion is a northern fishing port's idea of lunch.

Where to have it

Three places, three different answers

The one the queue agrees on, the one people who live here use instead, and the one nearest your ship. Opening days change; check before you build a day around one.

The famous oneIzumiya Sohonten

Spa-katsu was created at Izumiya around 1960: spaghetti, a cutlet and meat sauce on one hot iron plate. The main shop is at Suehiro-cho 2-28, a few minutes’ walk from Nusamai Bridge: 11:00–21:00 (last order 20:30), closed one Tuesday a month, so check for your date. Cash advised.
