Hokkaido in the winter is cold and if you go to the very north coast along the Sea of Okhotsk, you'll find Abashiri (網走市) 260km / 165mi north of Sapporo.
In February, it's the high season for tourists because this is where you go to see a lot of snow. ice drifts and eat a lot of amazing seafood.
During the city's annual Drift Ice Festival, you'll also find the amazing Okhotsk Yatai Mura Food Market (オホーツク屋台村) where local resident come out to celebrate the cold long nights together with good food from the Sea of Okhotsk and copious amounts of beer and atsukan (hot Japanese sake). This is an excellent experience of a lively night market in Hokkaido and worth a stop and bite.
What do we eat at the market in this episode?
★ Snow Crab
☆ Ramen
★ Fried Shrimp
★ Grilled Oysters
★ Hokke Mackerel
★ Monster Scallops
☆ Udon
☆ Steamed Potatoes
☆ Yakisoba
☆ Okonomiyaki
It's hard not to get a little tipsy here, but one thing is for sure, you'll make a ton of friends and eat a lot of food.
There are also other things to do in Abashiri like visit the famous Prison which I covered in a previous episode.

John, what a great "Slice of Life™" video. You really capture not just the food, but people and culture that it represents. I haven't made it to Hokkaido (yet), but I love cold weather and this makes me want to go even more! Thanks for another amazing production. When a shrimp is fried, I have never had an issue eating the whole thing. P.S. I'm also loving the more consistent release schedule.

his voice is clear, understandable, and you can tell that he's really interested in what he's talking about. he's a little bit of a silly dork but thats not a bad thing. always family friendly, solid content. sometimes i wish it would have more interactions and a little less tv style editing so this episode was great.

I prefer people who come off as light hearted and silly, it’s easier to feel comfortable and be yourself around people that are naturally themselves regardless of how people interpret them.

I loved the camaraderie and the approachability of strangers who invite rather than push away. It is always these small cultural rural areas that know how to open the moment with tradition, simple foods, and warm smiles.

Hokkaido is one of the friendliest places to visit and the fact that they have amazing food, beautiful nature should clinch it any time of the year!

Can’t wait to see your next upload! I always look forward to your videos because I keep on discovering more about Japan. What you’re doing is amazing and inspiring. Keep it up!

@WaoryuONLYinJAPAN 5 лет назад

Wolf3fd paper is usually at train stations. At home, magazines, manga, books etc are all recycled - ties with string and taken out a couple times a month, cardboard once a week. For those that recycled paper, the companies would give residents toilet paper in return depending on how much paper you recycled. They’d leave it at the door. I don’t know if they still have this service but I noticed it a lot when I lived in the countryside. Def use more TP!

There are so many things I want to comment on: you tipsy at the end (LOL), the friendliness of the locals, the cool shot (no pun intended) from under the ice bar, okonomiyaki with bacon on it (oh yeah), the steamed potatoes, and eating the whole fried shrimp. Damn! Now I want to go to Hokkaido even more than before.

FACT: Your best videos are food centric videos lol Loved all the food and yeah, I would eat the whole shrimp but the way they are normally cooked, it's very hard to eat the shell. Maybe the way they cook it softens it. Anyway, great place to have a few beers lol!

@WaoryuONLYinJAPAN 5 лет назад

It's true! But the most viewed episodes on the channel are CAPSULE HOTEL, HIGHWAY THROUGH A BUILDING, SLEEPER CAR NIGHT TRAIN :) hahaha After the top 3, it's mostly food though because food brings people together. Thanks Pablo! You're also right about the shrimp and eating it the normal way.

I remember when we were in Hakodate, and wandered into Daimon Yokocho because we were not really that impressed with Hakodate Beer... And every bar that we stepped into were full of friendly locals that tried to make conversation with us despite our broken Japanese 😊 made us feel so welcomed!

In the opening sequence I could locate my brother-in-law's house about 4-5 blocks from the docks of the bay. Great seafood of course. Done it many times at the sit-down stalls with your back covered with wind-blown snow & frozen and your front half broiling from the charcoal & heaters, grinning a little too widely from the sake & beer and eating Jingis Kan, tskune, ika, kani, hotate, samma etc etc. The okonomiyaki, though, must be the festival's version of Hokkaido's version of the Osaka version.
