Otaru Uminekoy (小樽 海猫屋 )| Italian Restaurant | Otaru

After a tour, I visited "Otaru Uminekoy (小樽 海猫屋 )", my favorite Italian restaurant in Otaru.

If you are a fan of Takiji Kobayashi (小林 多喜二), I don't have to explain about this building, which was a setting of his novel.

Hello! Long time no see!!!

Let's go upstairs!

I love this atmosphere, which makes me relax..........

This is a menu↓

I ordered Heragani Crab Pasta with Tomato Cream Sause (ヘラ蟹のトマトクリームスパゲティー), the most popular pasta in this restaurant↓

Heragani Crab is a local crab caught only off Otaru city. The sour and sweet  tomato sauce really goes well with rich crab butter!!!

I enjoyed pasta with crab meat. Yummy x 2!!!

I love this delicious pasta and historical building!!

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!!!

Yuigadokuson (唯我独尊)| Curry Restaurant | Furano (富良野)

I finished a tour in Furano at 17:00. I know if I returned to my home directly, I would arrive there earlier, but I really wanted to eat delicious curry, I visited "Yuigadokuson (唯我独尊)", a very popular and famous curry restaurant in the city↓

The interior is very unique!!

I can feel I'm in Furano......

I've already decided what I'll order before coming here, but I really wanted to eat something else, too, after looking at the menu! Hahaha!

Voila!
This is Curry with Homemade Sausage (自家製ソーセージ付カレー), my favorite curry and rice!

This sausage is very very juicy!!!

Furano is famous for its vegetables, and the potatoes are super recommendable!!

Let's eat rice with a lot of curry, whose spice balance is perfect!!!!

Enjoy the curry as much as possible, because we can get more sauce anytime, if you say ......

"Ru - ru ru ru -" at the counter. Sounds very Furano, doesn't it?

You can adjust the taste with some spice on the table: mountain wasabi (山わさび) and sambal (サンバル).

I've arrived at JR Furano station one hour later.....

As trains for Takikawa are not available late at night,

I took a train to Asahikawa, and returned to my home......

I was so happy to have such delicious curry in Furano after a wonderful tour with my tour guests from Hawaii!!!
