Shiroi Koibito Park

The northernmost prefecture and the least developed in Japan, Hokkaido is famed for its fine local produce and unique natural environment, with plenty of space and a milder climate for high-quality seasonal harvests. With rich farming conditions and access to fishing, locally-grown products like potatoes, corn, and crabs create regional specialties, earning Hokkaido the nickname of the “Kingdom of Food.” Its mountainous landscapes feature volcanoes, valleys, and towns by the sea where wineries and dairy farms are unmatched in quality. 

Hokkaido’s capital city, Sapporo is made famous by the local brew of the same name, with the Sapporo Beer Museum serving beers and jingisukan (lamb barbeque), a Hokkaido specialty dish. The annual Snow Festival at Odori Park takes over the city each winter showcasing incredible ice sculptures and winter food. Warm up in winter with a hearty bowl of butter miso ramen and spicy soup curry, or cool off in summer with locally-made ice cream. Taste samples from Sapporo’s iconic sweet stores, while next door the city of Yubari famously produces the most expensive melons in the world. A short trip away, the canal of Otaru City prides itself on local glasswork and fishing some of the prefecture’s freshest seafood. 

World-class ski resorts in Niseko thrive in the winter, and hikers embrace scenic views in summer around Hokkaido’s national parks such as Shiretoko and Daisetsuzan. They offer stunning views over sparkling lakes and Mount Yotei (Hokkaido’s own Mount Fuji look-alike), while the natural hot springs at Noboribetsu’s Hell Valley bubble away, offering amazing open-air onsen experiences. One of the main cities in Hokkaido’s south, Mount Hakodate looms over Hakodate by the seaside, where over 300 vendors gather daily at the morning market selling seafood that’s high-quality and fresh. With adventure sports and lavender fields at Furano, for all this and more, Hokkaido Prefecture is perfect for nature lovers. Bountiful with seasonal produce and local cuisine, Hokkaido is a lush foodie heaven overflowing with natural beauty.

NOT SURE WHERE TO GO?

The archipelago of Japan consists of four main islands, eight regions of Japan, and a total of 47 prefectures between them, each with their own diverse traditions, culture, food, and history. Hokkaido is the main northern island, followed by Honshu (home to Tohoku, Kanto, Chubu, Kansai, and Chugoku), Shikoku, Kyushu, and the Okinawa islands to the southwest.

Discover the unique offerings of each region by checking out the Japan areas above, like the coastal prefecture of Shizuoka (home to hot springs, Mt. Fuji, and a booming agricultural industry) and Nara Prefecture (which boasts eight UNESCO World Heritage Sites). While Japan might be perceived as a tiny country (the archipelago is smaller than the state of California), the nation is diverse in climate and culture. Each area of Japan has its own staple produce and regional Japanese cuisine.

Not only can you explore the popular destinations of Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto, but there are also a variety of other areas in Japan ranging from adventurous spots for daredevils to super-rural areas where visitors can connect with the land and people. From climbing Mt. Fuji in Shizuoka to indulging in matcha tea in Uji to enjoying island life in Okinawa (considered to be Japan’s Hawaii), these Japan areas each offer diverse experiences and ample opportunity for exploration.

These Japanese foods offer a window into the world of “washoku” (Japanese cuisine), which made UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage List in 2013.	


There’s worldwide appreciation for Japanese food, with Tokyo boasting the world’s highest number of Michelin-starred restaurants for the 12th year in a row in 2019. Not only is Japan home to some of the best chefs and restaurants in the world, but the Japanese cuisine (“washoku”) is also celebrated as one of UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritages. The main staples of Japanese food include rice (in various forms from steamed white rice to mochi), soy products (tofu, soy sauce, miso soup, natto), fish (sashimi, bonito flakes, grilled salmon), seaweed (kombu, nori, wakame), noodles (soba, udon, ramen), and tsukemono (Japanese pickles). Different regions of Japan also have their own specialty foods. Osaka, considered “The Nation’s Kitchen” is the birthplace of takoyaki, Kyoto is famous for tofu and yuba, and Okinawa is known for goya champuru (bittermelon stir fry). Many regions in Japan have their own special twists on dishes like Japanese ramen, nabe (hot pot), and ozoni (mochi soup eaten on New Year’s Day). Explore the Japanese foods above and learn about the diversity of Japanese cuisine, then perhaps you can join a food experience and learn to make Japanese food during a cooking class, become an expert on Japanese sake or tea during a tasting experience, or discover your new favorite type of ramen during a ramen tour.

Chef Nakamichi Hiroshi is the sort of name spoken about in hushed whispers. Hoteliers and restaurateurs have begged him to start new restaurants all over Japan, including the country’s culinary capitals, Tokyo and Osaka. To date, he has refused every single one of them, citing a single-minded dedication to Hokkaido as the reason.

Which is why it comes as a surprise that he once hated the region that he now so affectionately calls home. When he was young, his family uprooted itself from cosmopolitan Kanazawa Prefecture to the remote hot spring town of Noboribetsu in Hokkaido, and he had no choice but to follow. After attending culinary school, he took the first chance he could get to study French cuisine in Lyon, seeing it as an escape from the dreary northern wastes. 

But after his father’s failing health forced a hasty return to Hokkaido, he decided to set up his own restaurant in Sapporo: Moliere. It was there that he discovered the magic of Hokkaido ingredients. Inspired by the freshness of the water, the terroir of the produce, and the toil of the farmers in the fields, he made it his life’s mission to show the world what flavors could be achieved through the fusion of Hokkaido ingredients and his French cuisine.

As such, the fare at Moliere isn’t just a meal; it’s a showcase. Hokkaido’s culinary treasures are on full display, ranging from Yezo venison to Tokachi beef, to even the humble home-grown potato. In each of his tasting menus, Chef Nakamichi designs each course specifically to highlight the specific taste of a particular ingredient, making sure not to overcrowd a diner’s palate with too many flavors: letting them fully appreciate each one. It’s this philosophy that has graced Moliere with an accolade that few other restaurants can claim to have: three Michelin stars.

Situated on the edge of Maruyama Park, floor-to-ceiling windows let guests drink in the sight of beautiful cherry blossoms in the spring, as well as brilliant orange autumn foliage. 

———

To ensure a smooth dining experience, please choose your course in advance and leave a note about your chosen course when placing your reservation request. The course options are as follows:

Lunch Menu:
- Menu Saison - ¥14,800 (tax included)
- Menu Moliere - ¥9,600 (tax included)
- Menu Foret - ¥7,200 (tax included)

Dinner Menu:
- Menu Terroir - ¥23,000 (tax included)
- Menu HOKKAIDO - ¥17,000 (tax included)

A 10% service charge will be added to all courses. 

Using classic French technique, Chef Nakamichi Hiroshi uses Hokkaido’s rustic flavors like Tokachi wagyu beef and Yezo venison to paint a luscious culinary picture of the region’s bounties. 

At this Michelin-starred Sapporo restaurant near Maruyama Park, taste this culinary love letter to both Hokkaido ingredients and French cuisine. Yezo venison and pasture-raised Tokachi wagyu beef feature heavily in curated course menus.

寿司

Sushi

Yoshitake-san, the chef and owner of Sushi Miyakawa, came from humble beginnings in a countryside town in Hokkaido. In his youth, he traveled to Tokyo to study the art of sushi, and now he sits atop the sushi throne of his homeland.

His is the only sushi restaurant in Hokkaido to hold three Michelin stars — which he gained just three years after opening — and one of only five in Japan to have achieved the honor. Now it seems that everything he touches turns to gold.

His shop is situated near Maruyama Park in Sapporo. Drawing upon the best seafood that this cold corner of Japan has to offer, he serves up some of the most unbelievably delicious nigiri in the entire world.

Hokkaido’s best sushi restaurant is also one of the best in the whole world, according to the Michelin judges, who awarded Sushi Miyakawa with 3 Michelin stars.
