A gastronomic journey through Hokkaido’s symphony of culinary delights
Hokkaido’s strategic coastal locale makes it famous for its seafood, as well as for classic Japanese food. This is also in part due to the cold, icy waters surrounding the island of Hokkaido that offer an abundance of fresh catches that will eventually grace the plates and palates of both visitors and locals alike. From melt-in-your-mouth sushi to delectable crab dishes, Hokkaido’s seafood and specialty food offerings are definitely nothing short of amazing.
But beyond the sea and waves, there is also a cacophony of local produce for you to enjoy in Hokkaido, from sweetcorn to dairy products to other famous food ingredients grown in the region’s fertile lands. Indeed, the farm-to-table concept has been deeply ingrained in the culinary culture of Hokkaido, Japan. This has resulted in a local food scene that is rich in specialty food like velvety dairy treats and hearty dishes prepared with seasonal ingredients.
