●Kibana

Omiyage from Hokkaido!
I found very Yummy Omiyage in Hokkaido, the name is

Kibana by Tsuboya

Maybe you all do not know it, oh i did not know either.
But after i tried once, i cannot forget the taste.....
i should have some boxes for myself!
Kibana is very sweet, so good to have with black tea or coffee.

Put White chocolate between almond galette, Kibana is very simple sweets but the taste is not ordinary. The chocolate is very elegant, and the galette is crispy but soft.
Well, i cannot explain! anyway try them!

Kibana has been won Monde selection, the world sweets contest for 25 years!! Now i can understand why....
Kibana is much yummy than you imagine. i promise!

Oh,, now i miss Kibana! Guys, please get them for me when you go to Hokkaido!

●Trip to Japan

Hello friends, how are you?

My husband and me went to Japan last week! hadnt back over a year....

We stayed at my parents house, really comfortable!

My parents and sisters, brothers in low, their 2 kids (my nephews) and gramma, all welcomed us and prepared good food as well.

Sushi, Unagi (eel), Gyoza, Oden nabe..... etc etc

Japanese Gyoza

Japanese Oden

We were very happy there!

And my husband and me had a trip to Hakkaido too, actually it was 3rd time for us to visit Hokkaido :p

My husband loves Hokkaido very much, because it is very cool or cold, completely different from Singapore!

In Hokkaido, we went to Sapporo first, stayed 2 nights and also went to Sapporo Beer Museum :D

The guide san is really kind and cute haha!

By the way, Sapporo beer is very famous all over the world, but have you ever heard a product Sapporo Classic?

Sapporo Classic is available only in Hokkaido!

We bought 1 box and sent to my parents :)

There is Sapporo Classic Furano Vintage version also, i heard it is very rare! we sent to parents also :)

You should try if you have chance to go to Hokkaido~!

After Sapporo, we flied to Hakodate and stayed another 2 days.

The hotel is named Hanabishi Hotel, high quality onsen (hot spring) hotel!

Hanabishi Hotel

Private Onsen in the room

We booked high class room, which has private onsen in the room hehe~

The bathtub is enough big, room is comfortable, and staff is all kind and nice.

The price is not cheap, but we want to stay there again some day. Ooh,,,, need to save money!

Hakodate is familiar with seafood, you can find a lot of fresh seafood around Hakodate station; it has morning fish market. 

We had kaisen don (seafood on rice) there- mine was ikura and salmon, and husbands is crab tempura!

Dinner at hotel, most of them are seafood like kani (crab), sashimi of tuna and salmon, also abalones, etc etc..... Wow, so happy!!!

●ROYCE' Chocolate in Hokkaido

ROYCE'!

Royce' is a chocolate company in Hokkaido, and the quality is quite high.

I like this chocolate covered potato chips!

●Toukibi Choco

My First recommendation of Japanese Omiyage is,

Toukibi Choco (Corn Choco) from HOLI.

This is very sweet and crispy, I couldn't stop eating when I met this at first time!
Very sweet but not too much, the sweetness is really elegant.
I bet from children to elderly, Wemen and men all must love it!
(especially young lady, I guess)

This Toukibi Choco, or Corn Choco is Omiyage from Hokkaido.
You must try or get for your friends and family!

There are also other versions for example

Toukibi Milk Choco

Toukibi Choco Premium (White Chocolate)

This pproduct got Gold Prize in world sweets contest; Monde Selection.
--Whats Monde Selection?

Toukibi Choco has packages of 10sticks(350yen), 14sticks(630yen), 16sticks(700yen), 28sticks(1,100yen).
Not so expensive, but im sure you really enjoy!
