    Hokkaido Asahikawashi Gojoudori 7 - Right on the 65th and 7th street
    This yakitori chicken skewer store is located in the 5-7 Alley Furarito entertainment district in Asahikawa City, Hokkaido. Shinko-yaki (grilled boned chicken wings) are the soul food of Hokkaido's Asahikawa and a specialty of the restaurant. This simple yet exquisite menu item is made by baking half a chicken and seasoning it. The Ginneko store manager is the chairperson of the Shinko-yaki Association. The restaurant offers chicken raised in Date, Hokkaido that is carefully hand-grilled one by one over white charcoal. The secret sauce makes the outside crispy and fragrant while keeping the inside juicy. In addition to the variety of chicken skewers, the Chappu-yaki with soft Hokkaido pork shoulder loin is perfect with rice or as a snack when drinking.

    We got there excited to eat their yakitori but because it was full (which we expected) they told us we couldnt wait as it would bother the other stalls. What kind of policy is that? We left pretty...

The ""W soup,"" which adds an ""animal-based"" soup using pork and chicken bones with the umami of a ""seafood-based"" soup made using dried small sardines and kelp, goes perfectly with the specially-made medium-thin noodles.

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.
