A Practical Guide to Pairing Hokkaido Specialties with Wine

Pair Hearty Robatayaki Seafood with a Crisp White Wine

Our robatayaki—featuring scallops, oysters, and seasonal seafood grilled aromatically right before you—is a masterpiece that concentrates the natural umami of the ingredients. For this simple yet powerfully flavored 'Sakae seafood,' a dry white wine with refreshing acidity and minerality is a perfect match. For example, a Sauvignon Blanc or a Chablis will enhance the flavor of the seafood while cleansing your palate.

• Enjoy seasonal robatayaki seafood starting from 500 yen.
• The smoky aroma from the charcoal grill creates a synergistic effect with the wine's flavor.
• The crispness of the white wine cuts through the richness of the seafood, making the next bite even more delicious.

Pair the Captivating 'Ikura Kobore Don' with a Light Sparkling Wine

Our famous 'Ikura Kobore Don' (Overflowing Salmon Roe Bowl) is a signature dish, popular for the spectacle where we heap generous amounts of ikura onto your bowl with a spirited 'Wasshoi!' chant right at your table. The rich umami and saltiness of the popping salmon roe pair surprisingly well with a sparkling wine that has fine bubbles and a fruity aroma. It complements the rich flavor of the ikura while providing a light finish, allowing you to enjoy the rice bowl without feeling overwhelmed. For those who prefer a quieter experience, you can also choose the 'Silent Wasshoi,' so you can enjoy it according to the occasion.

• Our famous Ikura Kobore Don is offered at market price.
• Sparkling wine enhances the saltiness and umami of the ikura.
• You can enjoy a special experience with both the presentation and the taste.

For the Rich 'Tsufu Nabe' (Gout Hot Pot), Try a Rosé or a Light-Bodied Red Wine

Popular as a winter delicacy, our 'Nengan no Tsufu Nabe' (Long-awaited Gout Hot Pot) is characterized by its rich, condensed umami flavors from seafood treasures like monkfish liver, cod milt, and oysters. A rosé or a light-bodied red wine like Pinot Noir makes a surprisingly good match for such a rich-flavored hot pot. The fruitiness and acidity of a rosé complement the richness of the pot while refreshing the palate. If you choose a red wine, we recommend one that is low in tannins and rich in berry-like fruit flavors.

• The 'Nengan no Tsufu Nabe' is available starting from 3,000 yen.
• Pairing a rich hot pot with wine is a new discovery.
• It's also a good idea to ask our staff for their wine recommendations.

Hokkaido's Zangi and Jaga Butter Meet Wine

Hokkaido specialties like Zangi (fried chicken) and fluffy Jaga Butter (potato with butter) are also fun dishes for exploring wine pairings. Juicy Zangi pairs well with a full-bodied white wine (like Chardonnay) or a light red wine. For the simple yet profound flavor of Jaga Butter, we recommend a rich white wine or a sparkling wine. An unexpected combination might just open a new door to culinary delights.

• Zangi is available from 680 yen, and Jaga Butter from 450 yen.
• In addition to local Hokkaido sake and carefully selected shochu, please be sure to try pairing with wine.
