Hokkaido is the northernmost island of Japan, known for its snow-capped mountains, vast forests, and picturesque landscapes. The island's cuisine is just as impressive as its natural beauty.
Soup curry is a popular dish in Hokkaido that surprises tourists with its unique flavour. Unlike traditional Japanese soup, which is light and clear, soup curry is a hearty soup with a spicy kick. It is typically served with rice, vegetables, and a choice of meat. This dish is perfect for those who love spicy food. You can try this at hotels in Hokkaido as well as at food markets.
Also known as sea urchin, Uni is a popular delicacy in Hokkaido. It is a unique seafood that has a creamy, buttery taste and is often served raw. Uni is typically served as nigiri sushi or on top of a bed of rice. This dish may surprise you if you are not accustomed to the taste of sea urchins, but it is definitely worth trying.
This is Hokkaido's version of fried chicken. Zangi is made by marinating chicken in soy sauce, ginger, and garlic and then coating it in flour before deep-frying it. This is often served with a sweet and spicy sauce. If you love fried chicken, this dish is an absolute must-try.
A hot pot dish that is popular in Hokkaido, Ishikari Nabe is made with salmon, vegetables, and tofu and is cooked in a miso-based broth. The dish is named after the Ishikari River, which is known for its salmon. Ishikari Nabe is a perfect dish for those who want to warm up during the cold Hokkaido winters.
