Dintaifung in Sapporo!

 

by Kazu

The most famous and popular Taiwanese dumpling
restaurant "Din Tai Fung" opened its branch in  Daimaru Department Store, Sapporo. But we had to wait for an hour to be escourted to the table and raise glasses like the headquarters in Taipei. We ate up a variety of Taiwanese dumpling including its signature manu "Xiaolongbao". But we prefer the plain Xiaolongbao to truffle, liver of club, scallop.

This is the lava dome of Mt. Showashinzan next to Mt. Usu. The height got lower a little bit but the activities under the ground is still to be observed carefully.

The hot spring spa resort Lake Toya is also loved by campers because a public spa is also available as well as the hotel spas around the lake. We had enjoyed camping around the lake twice or three times actually.
