Travel Japan - Japan Package Tours, Cheap Flights to Japan, Japan Hotels and Japan Rail Pass

Hi there, Ume again with another gastronomic trip.

This time, I went to the Eastern part of Hokkaido, famous for ice breaking cruise at Abashiri and Lake Akan National Park.

This part of Hokkaido is for nature lovers but no skiing on this trip.

If you do NOT like civilization this part of Japan is for you!

In the morning, we flew to Obihiro Airport (am not sure why, I can only assume that flights to Kushiro was full).

By the time we arrived, it was already time for lunch!

Lunch was Tokachi Wagyu beef sirloin steak set (phew! That was a mouthful).

I wasn’t aware that Tokachi Wagyu was famous but it must be as Tokachi area is so famous for dairy products!

Steak was done all medium rare, tender and moist.

There were a couple of pieces that stayed in my mouth for longer than I would have liked but I’m not complaining!
