The "Hokkaido University Fair," a gathering of brand-name products authorized by Hokkaido University, will be held at Kita Kitchen Aurora Town and New Chitose Airport branches from Wednesday, March 27 to Tuesday, April 9! From shorthorn beef and trout to raspberries and sweets such as madeleines, a variety of popular products that bring Hokkaido University's research to life will be introduced.

Education and research are conducted on a vast site in the town of Shinhidaka

Hokkaido University Shorthorn cattle are Japanese Shorthorn cattle raised on the Shizunai Research Ranch in Shizunai, Shinhidaka-cho, Hokkaido. Researchers and students from all over Japan visit the ranch, where research in diverse fields including animal husbandry is conducted.

Mr. Kawai, the ranch manager, is also active in accepting visitors and training programs.

Meat from cattle raised under a sustainable, recycling-based production system is lean and firm, and the more you chew, the richer the umami flavor spreads in your mouth.

Products using "Hokudai Raspberry®" with its strong aroma and flavor

Hokkaidai Raspberry® is made by crossing wild raspberries native to Hokkaido with raspberries produced overseas, and is easy to grow in Hokkaido and has a good flavor. At this fair, baked goods and jams using these raspberries will be sold.

Contributing to the SDGs by utilizing unused fish that used to be disposed of

Unused salmon trout farmed for research at the Nanae Freshwater Experimental Station of the Field Science Center for Northern Biosphere are now being commercialized and sold as "Hokkaido University Trout".

Smoked cherry trout 80g

The Nanae Freshwater Research Institute uses water derived from the spring water of Yokotsudake. Hokudai trout raised in a clean environment grow up to be trout that have less of the characteristic bad taste and can enjoy the original "flavor of the meat and fat".

Smoked landlocked salmon 80g

Hokudai milk, produced on a farm with a history of over 40 years, has a refreshing taste in summer and a rich flavor in winter!

Hokudai Marche Café & Labo, which has a store inside Hokkaido University, is developing original products using 100% Hokudai milk under the brand name "HOKUDAI Clark's Milk".

HOKUDAI Clark's Milk Madeleines

Madeleines are made with 100% Hokudai whey. The madeleines have a smooth, moist texture and a rustic flavor that is reminiscent of the origins of baked goods.

Hokudai Gagome® shredded kelp 20g

Hokkaido University GAGOME® is a seaweed product produced by Hokkaido Marine Innovation rings Foods, a Hokkaido University start-up company established in 2017 "to contribute to society by widely sharing the results of Hokkaido University's seaweed-related research with the world".

Tororo kelp goes perfectly with ramen noodles

We have a lineup of products made from Hokkaidai Gagome®, which contains more than twice as much fucoidan, a sticky ingredient, as natural seaweed, and is produced with 1/3 of the normal cultivation time.

Kita Kitchen "Hokkaido University Fair" will be held at the Aurora Town and New Chitose Airport stores from Wednesday, March 27 to Tuesday, April 9, 2024. The previous Hokkaido University Fair was also a great success. Each product in the lineup has both research and academic significance as well as satisfying quality. Please come and pick up a product at Kita Kitchen!
