KIRIN Afternoon Tea has a natural tea aroma and a refreshing taste. The original, milk tea, and lemon tea flavors each have their own distinctive qualities. The original black tea is fresh and smooth, while the lemon tea has a slightly tart, fruity aroma. My favorite is the milk tea, which is rich and smooth, with just the right amount of sweetness without being overly sweet. It goes down even more smoothly when chilled and is especially refreshing in hot weather.

Engetsu Island
A landmark of the Nanki-Shirahama area, familiar as the subject of paintings, photographs, and postage stamps. The official name is “Takashima” but it’s commonly called “Engetsu-jima” because of the sea cave (hole) near the center of the island.
What impressed me was the naturally formed circular sea cave in the center of the island, set against the endless ocean. The scenery was very distinctive. Especially around sunset, the sun slowly shone through the opening, creating a beautiful silhouette that really made me want to stop, admire it, and take photos. The sea breeze felt very pleasant, and the whole atmosphere was relaxing and romantic.

Nemuro Hanamaru JR Tower Stellar Place
This popular conveyor belt sushi chain originated in Nemuro, the easternmost part of Hokkaido, and its JR Tower Stellar Place location is conveniently connected to JR Sapporo Station.
Having conveyor belt sushi at Nemuro Hanamaru in Sapporo really left a deep impression on me! The restaurant had a lively atmosphere and a huge selection of sushi. The fresh Hokkaido seafood in particular tasted sweet and full of ocean flavor. Every piece looked so tempting that I couldn't stop ordering. I especially loved the thick slices of fish and how fresh they tasted. It was very different from the conveyor belt sushi I've had in Taiwan. I felt very satisfied to try this popular local sushi spot during my trip to Hokkaido, and it added an unforgettable food memory to my time in Sapporo!

Otaru Sakaimachi Dori Shopping Street
Located just one street away from the main thoroughfare facing the Otaru Canal, Sakaimachi-dori flourished during the Meiji and early Showa periods, becoming Otaru's main street.
Otaru Sakaimachi Dori Shopping Street is really fun to explore, and you can feel Otaru's distinctive charm as you walk along the street. There are lots of specialty dessert shops, souvenir stores, and cute little shops along the way, and each one makes you want to go inside and take a look. Besides trying Hokkaido food, I also bought some souvenirs I liked. My favorite part was browsing the shops while enjoying the retro streetscape. The whole atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable.
