Hokkaido is a culinary celebration of Japan’s northernmost island.   Known for its agriculture and dairy, Hokkaido has a long been celebrated for its vibrant culinary scene. The prefecture incorporates three foodways—European agricultural models; traditional and modern Japanese cuisine; and Ainu gastronomy—which have led to Hokkaido having a distinct food scene from the rest of Japan.   These foodways have resulted in Hokkaido incorporating a wealth of ingredients: dairy, sausages, hops, drawing on the European influence; sea urchin, seaweed, spider crab and melons, to utilise the top-quality local produce; wild venison, foraged wild vegetables and salmon, as a result of the Ainu influence.   Think Squid Stuffed with Seasoned Rice, Sweetcorn with Soy Sauce Butter, Sausage Toast with Miso Beer Mustard, Mashed Potatoes with Salmon Roe, as well as Classic Chiffon Cheesecake and Crispy Sweetcorn Chocolate.   With beautiful photography, Hokkaido showcases one of the most unique and wonderful places to eat in the world.
