To begin with, what’s Hokkaido like?
This is Hokkaido from Japanese person(not living in Hokkaido)’s perspective!

Well then, before we go into why this Jaga-pokkuru is so delicious, let’s start by describing what kind of a place Hokkaido in Japan is.

What~? Does Hokkaido need an explanation?

I think so. Knowing Hokkaido will help understand why its food is so delicious!

That’s true!

●Here’s Hokkaido!
Ocean, mountain and snow surrounds it. It’s very cold, but that’s what makes its food so delicious!

Hokkaido is the prefecture at the northern most part of Japan. While it’s rich with nature surrounded by mountains and ocean, it’s an area of harsh cold weather.

My impression of Hokkaido is that it’s cool in the summer, and that it gets a lot of snow in the winter~ So it’s a popular travel spot to avoid the heat in the summer, and to enjoy snow activities in the winter!

Yes, so Hokkaido is really famous for seafood, plants that grow in the cold, dairy products to make best use of the vast land, and specialties that warm up the body! It all tastes great too, so let’s go ahead and check out which souvenirs are popular!

Hokkaido is known as the perfect origin of potatoes! {be}Jaga-pokkuru is particularly delicious among the Hokkaido potato specialties!

Now, to back to the original topic, the yummiest of all among Hokkaido souvenirs is definitely this one!Jaga-pokkuru!!(in Boss’s opinion)

This is so good, right~!! Boss brings this back often from his vacation, so I know what it tastes like too! First of all, the taste of the potato is good! And its saltiness is also so good!! And in addition, the texture is crisp...... wait, just slightly delicate, and the texture upon biting is so good!! If you like potato chips, you can’t go wrong buying this! This is such an awesome snack~!

Well, that’s what I wanted to say. But...... it’s very true! Taste is simple, and that’s why it’s so good! The salt flavor goes so well with the tastiness of the potato, and it’s a repeated souvenir that disappears in seconds～！！

Warm food is good because Hokkaido is so cold!
Miso butter ramen and ‘Dosanko Ramen’ is also recommended!

Wait! We also have food for people who like ramen!That is, Hokkaido’s super classic ramen, miso-butter ramen!!!

Those of you wondering if miso and butter goes well together? If you haven’t tried miso-butter ramen yet, yes, I’m talking about you.

Believe me. It does.

Now it’s less convincing now. I like miso butter ramen quite a bit too! The miso ramen is thick in flavor, and it’s so good when you add a sweet and salty butter as an accent!

Yes! The soup has more richness and depth to than soy sauce ramen, and that’s exactly how the veggies and the butter that’s added as an accent gets so bold! They’ve really thought it through!Because Hokkaido’s so cold, this delicious flavor ramen is made so it warms the body and lets you consume a lot of vegetable too!

By the way ‘Dosanko’ is a name of Hokkaido’s famous ramen chain! It’s famous for its miso-flavored go-to ramen, which is known as its signature dish!

Curry as soup!!?

Also, a delicious food specific for Hokkaido is the soup curry too right! To explain simply, it’s ‘soup like curry with big ingredients and lots of spices’!

At some point, I used to eat soup curry for breakfast!

What!?why?

I heard that soup curry was good for diet! Because of the spices, I sweat from the morning, metabolism goes up, I eat a lot of vegetables, and the spiciness wakes me up too. So I ate it quite a bit!

Did you end up losing weight?

Well, it was so good so I was eating white rice with it, so my weight didn’t change much. And I was also arranging it yummily by adding boiled egg too so......

Ah~~ I get it. The soup flavor is really strong, so adding ingredients doesn’t thin out the flavor, and it’s really delicious. I get why you’d want it with white rice. Bread is good too.

Right! And that’s why soup curry’s so good and fun to arrange too!!!

In addition, melon, dairy food, seafood items are also delicious and recommended!!

The fruit of Hokkaido, the melon!
A representative flavor that became a regional limited flavor to famous snacks like Pocky!

Hokkaido’s local specialty, Yubari melon is synonymous to the words ‘high rank’ and ‘deliciousness.’

Recommended snack to pair with alcohol out of Hokkaido Specialties are this!
Salmon is cut open, washed with sea-water, then dried. Saketoba (Salmon Jerky)!!
