Foodies Paradise, Hokkaido, Japan

Hokkaido - the northern island of Japan - is a foodies paradise.

 

Hokkaido has many farms, growing local produce, as well as having abundant fresh seafood.

 

Hokkaido is known for its fresh sushi, uni (sea urchin), ikura (salmon roe), hotate (scallops), kani (crab - king crab and hairy crab), sea snails, corn, potatoes, melons, tomatoes, dairy products, ice-cream, chocolates, and all types of cakes and baked foods.

 

The world famous (and world expensive) Yubari Melons (cantaloupes) originate from Hokkado.

 

In the photo above, my dinner is sea urchin and salmon roe (eggs) on a bed of steamed rice (uni ikura donburi) and crab leg miso soup. Beer is produced locally in Otaru.
