Corn Stands in Odori Park, Sapporo

One of the most famous specialties in Odori Park is the ‘Tōkibi’. It’s a favorite not only among park-goers but also the local doves (just watch out for them getting too friendly!).

‘Tōkibi’ translates to corn in Hokkaido dialect, while in Honshu, it’s known as ‘Tōmorokoshi’. There are typically two types available: grilled with soy sauce for a savory flavor, and boiled with salt for a more traditional taste. Which type is better? That’s for you to decide! Many visitors opt to try both varieties, priced at around ¥300 each.

In addition to ‘Tōkibi’, you can also find refreshing options like water, ice candy, and shaved ice served with flavored syrups at Odori Park.
