    Right next to the Sapporo Clock Tower, on clear days one can enjoy a cup of coffee on the terrace while listening to the chimes of the bell at this cafe. With the motto of providing 'the best coffee to enrich the soul,' they pride themselves in their raw beans that are discriminatingly selected for their flavor, roasted directly over a bincho charcoal flame, and then flannel-filter dripped served fresh. Offering an ample food menu as well, one can select a choice of ingredients for a real deli sandwich, or have a season torte or a softy cream made only from farm fresh delivered milk.

    札幌時計台のすぐ横にあるカフェです。地下の吹抜けみたいな場所に面しているので、隠れ家的な感じで落ち着けるカフェです。 コーヒーも美味しかったのですが、サイドメニューのケーキも美味しかったです!テラス席もあるので3密も回避できるので、いいカフェだと思います。

  • Za hotcake shop

    Hokkaido Abutagunkucchanchou Minamichijounishi 3-1
    This is a pancake and hotcake restaurant near the Kutchan Station of the JR Hakodate line. The plain hotcakes wafting with the smell of butter are not overly sweet made to melt-in-your mouth perfection. All batter is made to order, so allergy sensitivities can be accommodated as well. The batter for the pancakes uses homemade low acidity Caspian yogurt, making them refreshingly doughy. There are both sweet pancakes such as the white pancake with a strawberry salty milk-topping, as well as more hardy meal-type pancakes such as the kimchi bacon cream sauce pancakes. They even offer baby pancakes, made especially for babies.

    Hokkaido Akanguntsuruimura Snowing 496-4
    This farm restaurant is on the top of a hill in Tsurui with a wonderful view. You can see a peaceful view of the countryside from the charming store window. Sticking mostly to homemade items, they use plenty of cheese made at the adjoining cheese factory, everything collected from the restaurant fields, the Hishinuma Farm's Shiawase (happy) Milk, and local products from Tsurui Village. All of the menu items are colorfully vivid. One classic dish is the Milk Curry that comes with fresh salad and handmade naan. The generously used spices and the milk are exquisite. In addition, the pizza made from the crust and the Cabbage Chiffon Cake are also recommended.

    Hokkaido Kamikawagumbieichou Motomachi 4-4-10
    This eatery in Biei-cho is located about a 10-minute walk from the JR Furano Line's Biei Station. This store has cute brown outside walls and can be easily found from the Volkswagen in front, and is a restaurant loved in Biei that has been featured in magazines. They use specially selected meat from Hokkaido. They also stick to using sauces with no additives and homemade dressings. Their Ebi Don shrimp rice bowl filled with crispy fried shrimp is highly recommended. The exquisite taste comes from the secret sauce of condensed umami savoriness. Takeout is available for their original Jun Dog, a piece of B-grade cuisine with fried shrimp wrapped in rice.

    Name is Junpei. Friendly staff. Simple but fun and excellent Katsu curry which is why I liked it so much. Off the beaten track as it’s not in the centre but a few blocks away and worth the effort

Hokkaido Areas

around-area-map

Not just a prefecture but an island of its own, Hokkaido is the most northerly prefecture and island of the Japanese archipelago. Arriving in Hokkaido, which is rural and bursting with breathtaking nature, means entering a world where vast national parks, towering mountains, and natural hot springs can be found at every turn. Come December, these natural splendors freeze over and morph into a winter wonderland.
