Hokkaido Food Fair

Dear friends, there is a Hokkaido Food Fair at Isetan Scotts from 22 June to 2 July 07. Please visit, I highly recommend it. I plan to buy tons of Shiroi Koibito biscuits. People who miss this fair, please do not attempt to whine the biscuits away from me, it will not work. Please buy your own.



What’s going to be at the Fair: Scallops! Scallops! Scallops!!
We can look forward to seasoned, dried, soft, grilled or cheese scallops.

Potatoes: Hokkaido potatoes are special, smooth and milky tasting. Yum!

Melons, famous Hokkaido melons, cakes flavored with green tea and chestnuts, corn chocolate (Karen, pls note this), fresh gelato/ice cream.

Usual sashimi suspects, Crabs! and Abe Shoten Mori No Ikameshi (Squid with rice stuffing) and other strange but tasty seasoned seafoods.

They are also showcasing natural products such as HOKKAIDO HORSE OIL. My brochure says: “Since ancient times, horse oil has been used to treat burns and injuries. It is also excellent as a moisturizer for rough and hard skin.”

Feels weird to spread animal oil on body. When people say you smell like a horse, it’s usually not a compliment.
