This time we are visiting with 2 lovely hosts, announcer Sakamoto of Aomori Asahi Television and MC Isis. In Hokuto City, which is next to Hakodate City, we see a fantastic panorama view. Also to fully enjoy the specialty of Hokuto, we venture to take a bite into fresh Sakhalin surf clam. At Agurihei store, we look forward to viewing, learning, understanding and tasting the delicious rice with a new vibrant taste: tomato curry! Then, we pass over the Tsugaru channel to Aomori prefecture. There we enjoy the best of Aomori by fun apple picking in the Hakkoda foothills. Our mini vacation is complete as we stay at the Hoshino Resort Aomori House, where we enjoy the Michinoku Festival Show, which represents the 4great festivals of Aomori. The local delicacy called Zuppa-Ozen is one of the highlights for our meal. To finish the eventful vacation, we visit the Oirasekiryu, a scenic spot Aomori locals are proud of. As we walk through many beautiful trees, we are all amazed to find such magnificent views. Get your cameras ready!

Kuriyama Town is about a 1 hour drive East of Sapporo City. There, MCs Li Qiang and Isis discover the delightfulness of Sake Lees and making Sake, as they step into the world of “Kobayashi Brewing”, well-respected since its founding in 1878. The founder Mr. Yonesaburo Kobayashi showed his enthusiasm of wanting to decorate the land of Hokkaido, with the famous “Kita no Nishiki”; a one of a kind, long-standing sake brewery. At the Kobayashi Residence (the original head house mansion), you can now walk through life of the family where they actually lived, and feel the history of 117 years through the walls, furniture, and most of all, the incredible atmosphere. It will no doubt make you think, “So this is what life was like over 100 years ago!” Then the two MCs try to make a popular food, by taking the delicious “Sake Lees” that remain when Sake brewing: “tsukemono” pickled vegetables! These mouth-watering bites are made with great care at “Kitanaga Handmade Tsukemono Village”. That’s not the only thing you can make with “Sake Lees”, there’s more star quality of this item found at the cosmetics maker “LAUREL”. We explore the popularity of these products made with Hokkaido’s materials and “Sake Lees”. So many blessings can be born from Sake! Let’s explore and enjoy them together.

In Sapporo City, on the East side of the Sosei-Gawa (River), many unique shops are attracting attention, making this area full of new places you want to check out. Ni-jo Market is known as "Sapporo's Kitchen", with a history of more than 100 years in business. Fresh crab, salmon roe, and meat can all be bought through over the counter face-to-face selling, all the while chatting with an expert on the products who are full of spirit for their job; shouting out cheerfully about their brand new or freshest item. At "Shun no Aji, Shou", Li Qiang and Isis have a taste of Japanese food culture and bite into the "Sashimi Set Meal" and "Karaage (Hokkaido-style fried chicken) Set Meal", made by the shop master that is originally from Korea! For dessert, they visit a Japanese Tea Specialty Shop, “Ocha no Gyokusuien" founded in 1933. There they dig into the delicious dessert invented by the shopkeeper himself, "Yuki-Moe Parfait", made with the passion to use all Hokkaido ingredients; and Hokkaido is delicious!! Finally, the two MCs walk into what seems like a different country, a restaurant made with the image of old town pre-war Paris, "Guinguette Daima". There we laugh, dance, and eat amazing food while listening to live, hearty music!
