First, we strolled along the Ishikari River, one of the most famous rivers in Hokkaido. We went to a restaurant where a processing factory was located, and had salmon fillets and other delicacies. The store was lined with about 300 kinds of products. The two then decided to enjoy the scenery of Ishikari. At a coffee shop in Atsuta ward, they enjoyed a cup of specialty coffee with a perfect harmony of flavors, and looked outside to see the magnificent Sea of Japan. Lunch was Ishikari nabe, a dish with a history of more than 100 years. After satisfying their appetites, the group will stop by "Haiku Road". The winning haiku from the annual contest are displayed as a monument to commemorate the event. In the evening, we will go to a popular local yakitori restaurant. The most popular dish chicken neck is a tender and tasty gem. The meat of "Mouraiton," a pig raised in Ishikari, is a delightful combination of sweet fat and delicious meat.
