If you visit Hokkaido in winter, we recommend experiencing the local food culture through sushi. At Hokkaido sushi restaurants, there are many points to note, such as the fresh ingredients, the skills of the chefs, and the hospitality. Many sushi restaurants that offer winter flavors serve rare ingredients that can only be tasted locally. In particular, local fish unique to Hokkaido, and salmon roe and sea urchin, which are caught in large quantities in winter, are precious flavors that can only be experienced at local sushi restaurants. In addition to enjoying sushi, you can also get a deeper experience by learning the stories behind the ingredients. For example, learning about how local fishermen fish in the cold winter sea and the environment in which each ingredient is grown will make each piece of sushi feel even more special. As part of your trip, it is also a good idea to visit local markets and fishing ports to learn how ingredients are actually caught. Experience the charm of Hokkaido in winter to the fullest through sushi and create special memories of your trip.
