Old Japanese Saying:

It may go into one stomach, 

but it must pass two eyes and one tongue first!

(we just made that up – but it should have been a saying, don’t you think?!)

Fish in Hokkaido restaurant

Sushi in Hokkaido

北海道

ほっかいどう

hokkaidō

Hokkaido is well-know for fishing and therefore fish is high on the traditional Hokkaido menu. Salmon, squid, tuna and other sorts of fish are widely consumed. Hokkaido also has sheep farms and some cattle farms, but this page is about delicious fish from Hokkaido.

The origami variety.

Crab meat is particularly sought after in many Hokkaido restaurants as the quality is exceptional.

One crab costs between NZ$150 and NZ$180.

The origami master’s impression.

On this platter one can see squid and different kinds of shell fish. 

This is salmon roe, a dish that is regarded a delicacy. Salmon roe is very high on vitamins and omega 3. It is eaten with a spoon, although sometimes one can see it on top of a sushi-bite, which has seaweed wrapped around it in order to keep the bite nicely together.

Lunch has never tasted so good!

How very Japanese.
