got my snow boots and jacket on ready to explore the city's delectable treats from their freshest Fishbowl to them hearty winter Comfort noodles yep I've got them all served up in this one and first I'm taking you straight to the sapoto central wholesale Market just a 20-minute drive from sapoto station although this Northern Japan's street food Paradise took a bit of a hit after the seaword that shall no longer be mentioned it still has them local seafood hitters so it looks like in this restaurant here you can just choose the crabs and eat it inside of the restaurant this place is awesome number one kaisendon from Kitano gur okay so I'm going to take you to one of the freshest kaisendon places in all of Hokkaido but we got to go through this Market first let me take you inside you can see all this crab dri and fish oh they have these huge snow crab legs oh boy oh boy this spot is a seafood specialty shop where they offer freshly caught Seafood directly from various ports all throughout Hokkaido so you know you're getting that fresh fresh it's even a popular spot for Japanese Travelers since they offer Seafood delivery services hidden behind this souvenir shop they serve the freshest Seafood bowls at this [Music] spot it's a giant space so it's perfect when you're traveling with a big group of people okay check this out look at this kaen rice bowl this is looking beautiful this kaisendon Sashimi Rice Bowl I ordered basically has everything you can think of it's got uni sea urgent iikura salmon roll Abalone crab toy guy shellfish three giant pieces of salmon fatty tuna two Toto tuna white fish three slices of scallops squid octopus amabi shrimp and Bon shrimp everything I don't even know where to start but this place is just so amazing there's so much fresh seafood this is nothing but Hokkaido love hope this is the soy sauce drip it in like that what I actually like to do is just mix it all up like this and I just like to drip it all over the kaisendon so I don't have to mess with it later on like this W yeah get it nice and coated with that luscious show you so the first thing we are going to have is look at this this fatty tuna big piece of tuna take a little bite holy mother of sushi that is so fresh that literally just melted in my mouth that is so buttery soft you can just taste all the oils coming from that that was amazing that is the way to start this try some of this choto as well here you know what's also nice is that that show you has I wouldn't say strong sweetness but it does have kind of a unique sweetness to it and then let's have some of this iura maybe I can mix the uni and the iura all at the same time if you guys don't know iura is salmon row and then the uni is sea urgent that's all in one bite [Music] this is pure joy it's so fresh here let's take another [Music] bite oh we got these three pieces of salmon just sitting all by themselves let's grab some of that let's kind of make a little sushi roll like this let's get this sushi roll going right [Music] here oh that is so fresh Tam is so creamy look look at that guy he's like eat me I just ripped off his head one thing about this place and I've been to a lot of kaand places is that sometimes you order it they'll get like very thinly sliced pieces these pieces are thick look at this man that's like a girthy piece of salmon and it's such a great value it's 3,000 yen so I think that's probably around 23 $24 maybe even less I also love the squid which was glorious it had that perfect melty texture combined with a fresh complimentary sweetness and the Abalone had an Exquisite mixture of soft and crunchy textures even the rice is good here I Am So Satisfied with this [Music] meal oh look at this a little hidden alley let's go inside number two Ramen from tokichi put your fork down for this one as this unassuming Ramen Shop is tucked away in this tiny hidden Alleyway opened just a year ago it's no joke and definitely a must a must as it's quickly gaining popularity among the locals consistently drawing lines for its hearty bowls of pure love so this spot is hokkaido's a Chicken Soup for the Soul and I'm telling you you can't go wrong here let me show you supervised by a Michelin French restaurant chef and run by a former Italian cuisine Chef this their Ramen is unlike any I've ever had before I got their chicken Pyon Ramen which is a creamy milky white broth chicken soup topped with rosemary flavored foam Woodfire oil chopped scallions two giant baked shirako cod mil and roasted Lily Roots didn't I say it's one of a kind it smells so delicious you see the foamy loveliness right on top have a little bit of these bubbles has like a hint of Rosemary Rosemary bubbles it's more satisfying than taking a bubble bath oh oh that is a rich rich thick soup there is just so much flavor in here smild sweetness to it but you can definitely taste like the chicken broth it's so thick it's almost like eating gravy we have some of this chuckle looks like it's been grilled on the outside or just flame broiled M has that like crispy crunchiness outside and then that creamy creamy center filling this will have me coming back for more I've never actually had Shido as a topping and they cooked it perfectly let's try the noodles these are kind of thicker side thick round [Music] noodles oh my goodness that's amazing all of the thick Pyon soup just clings to the noodles like it doesn't want to fall off the noodle building and just like I'm going to stick with you no matter what I'm going to be here for the rest of my life then you take a bite and it just goes down so smoothly the noodles are cooked perfectly freaking delicious this is what it's all about man I love Hokkaido what I love about this too is like so thick but it's not even oily has a slight sweetness it's kind of like rich but has that Elegance to it they also have some green onions here to give it kind of that refreshingness perfect combination so one thing that they also do we can do is you can actually get a side of rice and you can add this to your soup this way of eating is called shime in Japanese kind of like porridge at the end

honey cream so that's crab just look how crispy this looks wow it's just coming off of my fingers a not a lot of oil wo M that is so crispy the first thing you taste is that creaminess you get that that textured crunchiness like no other you can hear this crispiness it even sounds like someone shoveling snow but I just love this like honko that they use that just makes it so crunchy like for me I love having two different textures and she even uses Hokkaido milk she does it all by hand that's why it's so so creamy look at the inside of that this is worth traveling all the way to Hokkaido [Music] to number four all you can eat crab at e gasen so at this spot we're getting our all you can eat crab on did someone say all you can eat let's hokido you know you've got to throw down on some

right [Music] here M this is literally undeniable if you come to Hokkaido you've got to try this all you can eat crab I'm so happy we're doing this and number five spicy Misa Ramen from tesi oawa so this spot is hidden away behind me in this little Japanese drinking alley and they have this awesome garlic Ramen that's local here to Hokkaido let me show you so I've made my way to this 150-year-old sapoto shopping street Tanuki Koji which has a strong local Vibe and this Ramen Shop I'm taking you now is inside of this tiny food Hall buried a couple of doors from the street produced by Two Brothers one is sushi chef and and the other Chinese cuisine Chef who brilliantly decided to offer with their mouth watering Ramen a bowl of seafood which is quite rare in [Music] Japan and today I'm going all in on their local hormone intestine Ramen which is a delicacy in Northern Hokkaido W so look at this Ramen you got the K miso so it's the spicy version it has bamboo shoots mizuna a slice of chashu tons of homone intestine meat and their local Goa garlic oh that is thick it has like a really deep Umami and kind of like a nice sweetness to it the soup itself is made with a chicken bone pork bone and vegetable it's full of umami it has that spicy Ki to it but for me it's not so spicy because you know I've got my hot sauce and that's super spicy maybe we'll give you a little bit of sweat that's good though look at those new noodles is kind of like a stringy let just taste some of these noodles I like how the noodles itself they're kind of on the harder side which I prefer I don't really like soft soggy noodles kind of like crimped W look at this big piece this is amazing the intestines just adds like a beautiful texture to it look at these little pieces right here you usually don't find this in ramen but you can get it which is pretty cool it's like pretty unique and then just right here this is the guoa Garlic it's like a local delicacy here and it's pickled in soy sauce it's kind of like a a green onion with a stronga the garlic kind of gives it like this unique freshness look at this thick piece of josu oh that chashu was just fabulous they used mikoma haa marinated for a long time and it's grilled oh and I should say that I got the Sashimi you can also get Oto which is kind like a ram min's beef and then they also have real pork you can try all the different kinds but I got the Sashimi today oh look can see all steam coming from there I've sweat it out so much and what's awesome is that it doesn't even break the bank it's so inexpensive all
