Enjoying Hokkaido Cuisine in Large
Groups |
|
|
| As the saying goes, a meal is always better when enjoyed
in the company of others. Hokkaido cuisine includes many dishes
best enjoyed when eaten with friends (both old and new!) in
a festive mood. Examples of such dishes and restaurant information
are as follows: |
| Ramen noodles have sometimes been referred
to as a "national dish" and have established themselves as
the typical Japanese food of the common man. Sapporo ramen
prides itself as being one of the most popular types of ramen
in all of Japan.

| Crab is a typical Hokkaido dish, and quite
popular not only among local residents, but also tourists
from within and outside of Japan. The delicate taste of the
plump crab meat is truly one of the bounties of Hokkaido's
northern seas.

| [Genghis Khan (Lamb
Hot Pot Barbeque)] |
| Hokkaido is unique in that it is one of the
few areas in Japan with a high level of lamb consumption.
Genghis Khan is loved by Hokkaidoans as a characteristic
local speciality and popular with many tourists. Additionally,
being quite the outdoor paradise, many other barbeque and
grilled dishes are widely enjoyed throughout Hokkaido. |
