Regional Cuisine – Flavors of the Land & Sea

Hokkaido is often called Japan's great northern kitchen, a land blessed with fertile farmland, abundant harvests, and some of the richest fishing grounds in the country.
Across its vast landscapes, the changing seasons bring sweet corn, potatoes, pumpkins, fresh vegetables, and rich dairy products. Along the shores of the Sea of Okhotsk, cold, nutrient-rich waters provide an extraordinary variety of seafood, from delicate scallops and salmon to prized crabs and sea urchins.
Here, the flavors of the land and sea come together in a cuisine deeply connected to nature and the changing seasons.
We invite you to discover these flavors at their source — meeting local producers, exploring regional ingredients, and experiencing the simple pleasure of food prepared with care.
In the evening, gather around The Northern Table, where local chefs bring seasonal ingredients to life through thoughtfully prepared meals. Share stories, discover unfamiliar flavors, and enjoy the warmth of good company. For us, food is more than nourishment. It is a way to understand a place, celebrate its traditions, and connect with the people who call it home.
