Sendoan （お食事処 仙堂庵）| Japanese Food | Lake Toya （洞爺湖）

As my guests wanted to eat Japanese food in Lake Toya area, I chose "Sendoan （お食事処 仙堂庵）"  for them.
The restaurant is on the 2nd floor of "Wakasaimo （わかさいも）", a famous sweet shop in Hokkaido.

Let's go upstairs!!

This restaurant is located by Lake Toya, and

we enjoyed the lake from our seat.

See!?
The location is perfect!!!

Some of my guests wanted to eat local dishes in Hokkaido, and some wanted to eat general Japanese dishes. Look at the menu↓ This restaurant can meet everybody's request!!!

I ordered a "Steamed Sea Urchin and Scallop Rice Set （特製うに・ほたて御膳）"↓
This area is famous for its scallops. Yummy x 2!!!

The rice below the seafood absorbed delicious seafood juice!!! I love it!!

One of my guests ordered a "Scallop and Salmon Roe Bowl （噴火湾ホタテといくら丼）"↓
The scallops are very fresh and very sweet!!!

We had a wonderful lunch time at this lake-view restaurant here!

Ajidokoro Teppei （味処 てっ平）| Pork Cutlets | Tomakomai （苫小牧）

After enjoying Lake Shikotsu, we went to Tomakomai （苫小牧） to enjoy delicious tonkatsu, or pork cutlets, based on requests from my guests.
This is Ajidokoro Teppei （味処 てっ平）, a very popular tontatsu restaurant in this area↓

I really miss him!!
This is a character of the restaurant! When I lived in the city, we sometimes came here and enjoyed delicious tontatsu!!!

Wow! Wow! Wow!
We visited here a little bit later than lunch hours, but the restaurant was packed with a lot of people!!!!
As I know this is a very popular restaurant, I've already made a reservation for us.....

This is the menu for lunch↓

Look at a perfect set with cutlets of prawn, squid, scallop, fish, and pork fillet.! I really wanted to try everything!!

Using the time they cook, we enjoyed grinding sesames.........

After finishing it,

please pour special tonkatsu sauce like this!

After a while, they served rice and

miso soup, which means here will come tonkatus very soon!!! Hahaha!

Voila!!
This is a set A!!!

The double prawn tonkatsu is yummy x 2!!! So is the fish one!!!

Squid usually becomes chewy when it is heated, but this one is very soft. How do they cook it????

The scallop is caught off this town.
Yes!
Tomakomai city is along the sea coast, and the bay here is famous for scallops and Sakhalin surf clams!!!

This pork fillet tonkatsu is super super recommendable!! You don't have to bite it! The meat is very tender!!! We're sure they use high quality of meat!!!

We had a wonderful lunch time together!!!

Jyozankei Grand Hotel （定山渓グランドホテル）| Room with Hot Spring | Sapporo

We enjoyed hot spring at "Jyozankei Grand Hotel （定山渓グランドホテル）" in Jyozankei （定山渓）, a famous hot spring area, 40 minutes away from downtown Sapporo.

Guess what?
I stayed at a room with private hot spring!! How wonderful it is!!! Look at the room.

The sofa is large enough for me to relax....

Except the Western room, I have a Japanse room, too!! Wow! Wow! Wow!!

I really love the outdoor hot spring! As my room has private hot spring, I can take it whenever I want to. Actually I enjoyed it four times during our stay.
(Just for reference, the hotel has large outdoor and indoor hot spring for all guests, too, and my guests from Indonesia prefer the big ones.)

The water contains a lot of natural salt, making my skin very smooth.....

 Dinner time!!
(The breakfasat buffet is not good, unfortunately.... and I omit to show the pics.... Hahaha!)

We enjoyed a wonderful dinner at a dinning place at the hotel.

They have Japanese tatami rooms and

table area. Which do you prefer???

The restaurant has a drinking bar, and I love it!

Let's get started!

Hokkaido remind my guests of king crabs! Yummy x 2!!

The trout is appropriately fatty and goes well with sake!

We also enjoyed fresh local seafood such as tuna, sea bream, whelk, and Jumbo shrimp （ボタンエビ）.

If you love Japanese set dishes, you must love all of them!

 

 

 After dinner, we enjoyed fireworks display from hotel rooms!!

 

 

Isn't it wonderful to enjoy fireworks while lying down on a sofa at a room?

 

We really had a wonderful time in Jyozankei （定山渓）, Sapporo.
