HTB Thanksgiving Festival: Love Hokkaido x Ozora Town Gourmet Collaboration

August 31,2024 OA

We’ve all been waiting for the HTB Autumn Thanksgiving Festival, and now it’s just around the corner. This year, Love Hokkaido embarks on its very first gourmet development project! Thanks to a visit last December, a collaboration idea was sparked with Ozora Town in the Okhotsk region.
Joining the culinary adventure is Ozora Foods, a sausage manufacturer committed to using locally sourced pork. After much deliberation, they've chosen a visually stunning sausage infused with the flavors of seafood!
A well-established local confectionery shop also joins in the new dish’s development, creating 'odango' using a specific local vegetable as a key ingredient.
With these ingredients and vegetables combined, they've crafted a prototype dish. What new taste of Hokkaido have they made? Tune in to this week’s episode to find out!

Summer shines brightest in the Tokachi area! This episode showcases spots where you can enjoy both breathtaking views and delicious cuisine. Our journey starts at Shichiku Garden, one of the five popular gardens in Tokachi, where we indulge in a fresh, healthy buffet featuring freshly-picked vegetables followed by a leisurely exploration of the naturally blooming flowers. We also join a guided tour of a large-scale farm usually not open to the public. It’s as if we become one with the grand landscape!

Our adventure kicks off with perfect summer activities—like solo canoeing on a gently flowing river. Yurie, a first-timer, swiftly masters the art with the help of an instructor, thoroughly enjoying the essence of canoeing.
We also visit a historic shrine featuring unique guardian dogs, another highlight of the stamp rally.
Straying off the rally path, we indulge in local culinary delights at 'La Pecora,' a renowned Italian restaurant known for its exquisite lamb dishes, leaving us utterly content.
