Sapporo Ramen
Originating in Sapporo, it's especially famous for its miso flavor. The piping hot broth, rich with pork bone and seafood stock, combined with stir-fried vegetables (bean sprouts and onions) and lard, creates a hearty bowl perfect for warming up in cold Hokkaido. Topping it with butter or corn is also a classic choice.
Seafood
Surrounded by the sea on all sides, Hokkaido is a treasure trove of fresh seafood. Especially exceptional are the three major crabs—hairy crab, red king crab, and snow crab—along with richly flavorful sea urchin and popping salmon roe. These delicacies can be savored in sushi, seafood bowls, and robatayaki.
Grilled mutton/lamb
This dish involves grilling mutton or lamb in a special pot with a raised center, then dipping it along with vegetables into a special sauce. It's a staple in Hokkaido homes and at barbecues, offering a healthy meal with a unique flavor. Fresh lamb is especially recommended as it has minimal gaminess.
