Samgyopsal in Yasai mura, Sapporo !

 

by Kazu

We found so nice samgyopsal restaurant where we could eat up as much veggies as we could. The name of the restaurant was " The Veggie Fields".

The amount of the pork and spicy pickles in the course was limited but you can order the set of veggies on tk-tke board shown on the left side.

Rugby Footba Game started 2025 !

by Kazu 

The professional Rugby football game season started even in Hokkaido though it was cold and windy outside of the stadium on that day. 

It seemed that my wif loves to watch the Rugby football game but is not familiar with the rule even now. Even so, I love to see her excited, cheering and discouraged.

Lupine is t he motif of the team headed

by the former captain of the national team Mr. 

Michael Leech. When the supporters cheered up their team, they cried out like wolves.

 

Lake Utonai Listed in Ramsar Treaty !

by Kazu

It was not the season of the migratory birds to have a rest on their way to the northern regions on this globe. 

I could not find any migratory birds  in Lake Utonai on that day. Even so, many tourists dropped by the Migrato Birds Observation Center.

 

Itanki Beach to Lake Utonai !

by Kazu

After the sunset, the blue sky got darker and the orange lights on the coastline got brighter an reflected on t surface of the ocean.

The next day, on our way back to Sapporo, we dropped by Lake Utonai listed on the Ramsar Treaty to be preserved as the sacred place for migrant birds and other creatures.

 

Itanki Beach in Tomakomai at Dawn !

by Kazu

Before dinner after enjoying the ice hockey game won by the Red Eagles  in Tomakomai, I jogged around Itanki Beach and the downtown of the city. 

Fortunately, I really enjoyed the beautiful landscape of the ocean, clouds, wind and sunset in the magic hour on that day.

The beauty of the pale, dark blue and pink color created so nice scenery with the silhouette of the coastline.It was so beautiful a day in Tomakomai City.

 

The Ice Hockey Game in Tomakomai again !

 

by Kazu 

We could get seats warmed up with electric heater. I did not have to wear thick ski pants  to watch the game but as I experienced the coldness during the ice hockey game held in Sapporo before that,   I brought my ski pants to be on the safe side. 

The Red Eagles based in Tomakomai with local cheering-up had never lost the game when we visited and watched their games .

A Hidden Space for Culinary Delights !

by Kazu  

It is the appetizer of a supper we had in an after-party and talk about the castle owned by the Schwalzenbergs the Grand Duke. Black money must be handled, laundered, invested and reaped by the peerage. 

It was a secret ? meeting in a sense held in a private room of a hole-in-the wall restaurant like a hidden den. It must have been tough for closedphobia because the private room was so narrow. The atmosphere of the place was so weird and curious. We were on the opposite side of the Black Peerage in Europe. 

The next day, we visited Tomakomai City to watch the ice Hockey game of the Red Eagles again.
