What travelers think of this experience
What you’ll do
Taste your way through Sapporo’s creative food scene with soup curry (a spicy soup with fall-off-the-bone chicken) and jingusikan, aka Genghis Khan, a hearty dish of mutton cooked in a skillet that resembles a traditional Mongolian soldier’s helmet! At the fish market, you could buy kegani crab from a vendor and take it to be prepared at a nearby restaurant, or try rich, creamy, buttery uni (sea urchin) if you’re feeling adventurous. At your host’s favorite izakaya bar, crunch on crispy zangi (fried chicken), slurp up Hokkaido’s miso ramen with corn and butter, and wash it all down with ice-cold Sapporo beer or local Chitosetsuru sake. And for dessert? Hokkaido is known for its ice-cream, and the sweet cream flavor is out-of-this-world.
