The 10 Best Food & Drink in Hokkaido, Japan

November 15, 2021 Enedina Augsburger

Hokkaido (北海道, Hokkaidō, literally "Northern Sea Circuit") (Japanese: [hokkaꜜidoː] ( listen)), formerly known as Ezo, Yezo, Yeso, or Yesso, is the second largest island of Japan, and the largest and northernmost prefecture. The Tsugaru Strait separates Hokkaido from Honshu. The two islands are connected by the undersea railway Seikan Tunnel. The largest city on Hokkaido is its capital, Sapporo, which is also its only ordinance-designated city. About 43 km north of Hokkaido lies Sakhalin Island, Russia, whereas to its east and north-east are the disputed Kuril Islands.

Nikka Whisky Yoichi Distillery

--is at Lat.43 10'N.Lon.14045'E, or about the same Latitude as the middle of New York State, Toronto Canada, Vladivostok Russia. --rests about 50km west of Sapporo City in southern Hokkaido, which is the northernmost of Japan's four principal islands, and was one of the last Japanese frontiers to be developed. --has three sides surrounded by mountains, and one side on the coast (Sea of Japan). --is blessed with the things that really matter to great whisky. However, Scotch whisky captured the young man's imagination, as well as the interest of few other enterprising Japanese of that day. He decided to dedicate his life to whisky.

Catch the JR rapid to Otaru and then a local train to Yoichi. Just over an hour or so all up. A very short walk then from the train station to the distillery (5 mins). Grounds of the distillery are lovely. It rained when we were there but the supply of comp umbrellas to use on site sorted that out. You can join a tour or wander yourself. We did the latter and we didn’t feel that we missed anything. Free tastings are on offer as are paid tastings if you want to try something a bit more special. Lots of options in the gift shop of course for boozy souvenirs! PS JR rail passes are good for the whole trip. No need to buy extra tickets.
