The prices are kept reasonable by their direct supply connections, making this the perfect place to enjoy high-grade beef at a bargain!

    It was one of the best beef Ive tasted. I had the sirloin and it was well marbled. It literally melts in the mouth. I am still craving for it to this day!

    Hokkaido Hiyama-gun Esashicho Honcho 38
    "This Japanese confectionery store was founded in Esashi town in 1870. The authentic ""Marukan-Yokan"", cut by a string, and ""Nagashi-Yokan"", are made with great care. It takes great skill to knead the beans, agar and sugar which begins early in the morning and takes all day. The shop is proud of its tradition and continues making products with the same, unchanging flavor. Other than yokan (sweet bean jelly), Monaka (red bean filled wafers) castella, and seasonal Japanese confectionary are available, and all make great gifts. The old-fashioned packaging is popular."

    明治時代以前からあるお菓子の店で、江差名物の羊羹で有名。丸缶に入っているのが特徴だが一枚板になっているタイプもある。他にたい焼きのような鮭の形をしたあきあじ最中もある。今は函館市内や空港にも売っているのでわざわざ江差で買うほどでもないが、せっかく江差に来たらいにしえ街道から坂を上がって新地町まで行き、本店を訪れてみたい。

    大沼公園を1周時にもっとも惹かれたので入店。テラス席と店内席がある、店内はやや狭く暗い印象。美味しいがこの価格帯のビフテキなら都内でも珍しくないので普通評価。 基本はビフテキのお店なので、中グレードのセットを注文。たまたまなのか焼き加減は聞かれず、レアが提供された。おそらく、自分で焼き加減を調整するようだ。レアの状態だと肉の弾力が高すぎて食べづらい。少し焼きを入れるとバランスが取れてくる。味付けは...

    1380円で海苔弁をテイクアウト ん? 確かに海苔は美味しいかも知れないが、ほっかほっか弁当の海苔弁より千円高い理由が全く見出だせない。 日本橋三越の真向かいにある山本屋で海苔を買っているので、海苔には煩い方だが、、、 まあ、どんなにボッタクっても880円では?? テイクアウトで味噌汁も付かないのに割引も無く、その点も考慮すると星は精々2つです。

    Hokkaido Matsumaegunmatsumaechou Fukuyama 249-4
    A sushi restaurant which serves not Edo style sushi but rather Ezo (Hokkaido) style sushi. Ezo style sushi is said to be characterized by its emphasis on manipulating ingredients as little as possible and focusing on freshness and quality above all else. The restaurant has a tank for keeping live abalone, ensuring you can enjoy the freshest abalone meat straight from the tank. The restaurant's prices are also reasonable and it is popular in part because of its hearty portions of fresh seafood. The restaurant is snug but has 10 counter seats as well as a tatami mat seating area with a sliding shoji door, making it easy for families to eat here as well.

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.
