Traveling with my partner, Hokkaido tour part 4! Starting early in the morning from Asahikawa to Furano area for sightseeing. Sunflowers and lavender were beautiful! Now, the evening of the second day has arrived. Despite being tired from driving a considerable distance, the magic of Hokkaido? Delicious food is a different story! After showering at the hotel, it's time to decide where to go. No restaurant decided yet. So, I asked my partner. Hmm. Since we had meat yesterday, my partner wants to eat seafood today, but not raw fish. Following this decree, we searched for a restaurant. We found "Robata Daisuke Honten" nearby, which sounded appealing. A 5-minute walk. We arrived at the restaurant at 9:30 pm. The staff informed us that the last order was at 10 pm, but the restaurant was open until 11 pm. We were seated at the counter. Looking around, there were tatami mats and private rooms, creating a spacious and relaxed atmosphere for dining. With limited time, we quickly placed our order. Starting with draft beer, my partner led the way with scallops in burnt butter and butter-fried asparagus. It was my turn next. The grilled hokke was a bit expensive, so I passed on it. The simmered flounder was sold out, so I ordered dried squid from Rausu instead. The draft beer arrived soon, accompanied by appetizers - tomatoes, snow peas, and carrots. The colorful appetizers were fresh and refreshing. The butter-fried asparagus was thick and delicious, with a sweet and tender taste unique to Hokkaido. The scallops were large, with a savory soy butter flavor. The dried squid was thick and chewy, with a distinct seafood taste. We spent about an hour enjoying Hokkaido's delicacies. Despite arriving late, we were warmly welcomed and had a fantastic time. Thank you, Robata Daisuke, for the delicious food and happy moments. Thank you for the meal!
