Asahikawa - Stuff I've eaten (plus bonus final Sapporo food)

Lunch on the day we arrived was Soba noodles with Tempura

A Matcha Latte to ward off the cold at the festival

Dinner was at a crab restaurant run by an old couple

Crab shabu shabu was the main course

There was also some sashimi

The aforementioned crabu crabu

A crab shumai

The pot doing its thing

crab gratin

steamed crab

crab tempura

The rest of the soup over rice to finish it off

the resulting carnage


Breakfast at Starbucks was a Vienna Sausage and a Yuzu tea


About $8 worth of strawberries. (they were very nice)

Lemon Sour flavored chips.
Could of been worse. They were more pepper with a hint of lemon flavored

I got the drink they were based on to compare.
Not bad as Lemon Sours go. Better than the chips.

Truffle cheese and smoked cheese sticks.
(the smoked cheese sticks were excellent)

Much needed fiber

Rum cake

Decent

Time to try the rolled cake

It wasn't bad, but probably not worth the exorbitant price tag 

Dinner that night was at an excellent Sushi place. As the chef was right in front of us, making each piece as we ate it, taking photos seemed rude, so instead have a link to it on Google Maps

There was a starbucks down by the river, which had a lovely scenic view out over a park beside the river, so we sat and watched a guy on a snowmobile making walking tracks in the area and I had a repeat of yesterdays breakfast,

A limited seasonal Sakura drink available in convenience stores

It tastes like strawberry big M (aka sugar in milk) with little pieces of sakura jelly floating at the bottom.




Bento on the train

Emma hastes melon, and accidentally bought these thinking they were Matcha

So I inherited the green ones

More cake from the chocolate factory

Sukiyaki

Boiling the meat in the sauce

Granola and Banana Yoghurt is added the SB breakfast routine

The Doubtor at the station had a Roast Beef and Camembert roll that I was compelled to try, it was pretty good.
