Situated just moments from Aomori Station, Shokujitokoro Osanai is a long-established diner founded in 1953 whose live Mutsu Bay scallop lineup is praised as rivaling that of a specialized restaurant. The signature dish is the scallop shell miso bake, featuring abundant scallop adductor muscles and mantles in a miso dashi broth bound with soft-cooked egg, making it an irresistible match with rice. Diners can experience scallops in various preparations: lightly breaded fried scallops cooked to a rare center, large and melt-in-the-mouth scallop sashimi, crunchy mantle sashimi, and fragrant butter-sautéed scallops, alongside Aomori local flavors such as kenojiru soup loaded with root vegetables. Welcomed by a seasoned sign and a showcase of food replicas, the dining room offers 44 table seats, completely non-smoking and family-friendly, bustling with a mix of travelers and local regulars. It is equally suited to savoring scallops alongside sake or shochu; queues can form even before opening, so allowing ample time is recommended.
