The "Hokkaido University Fair," a gathering of brand-name products certified by Hokkaido University, will be held at the Kita Kitchen Aurora Town and New Chitose Airport stores from Wednesday, March 27th to Tuesday, April 9th! From Japanese Shorthorn beef and trout to raspberries and sweets like madeleines, we introduce a variety of popular products born from the research at Hokkaido University.

Education and research are conducted on the vast grounds in Shinhidaka Town.

Hokudai Japanese Shorthorn Beef comes from Japanese Shorthorn cattle raised at the Shizunai Research Farm in Shizunai, Shinhidaka Town, Hokkaido. Researchers and students from all over the country visit the farm to conduct research in various fields, including animal husbandry.

Farm manager Mr. Kawai is also dedicated to welcoming visitors and trainees.

The meat from these cattle, raised through a sustainable, circular production system, is lean with a firm texture. The more you chew, the richer the umami flavor that spreads through your mouth.

The Hokudai Japanese Shorthorn Beef Thigh Block (300g) is so popular it's bound to sell out every time.

Products made with "Hokudai Raspberry®," known for its strong aroma and excellent flavor.

Hokudai Raspberry® is a flavorful raspberry, easy to grow in Hokkaido, created by crossbreeding wild raspberries native to Hokkaido with overseas varieties. At this fair, you can find baked goods and jams made with these raspberries.

Contributing to SDGs by utilizing previously discarded, unused fish.

Among the salmonids farmed for research at the Nanae Fresh-Water Laboratory, Field Science Center for Northern Biosphere, the previously unused fish are now commercialized and sold as "Hokudai Trout."

The Nanae Fresh-Water Laboratory uses water originating from the springs of Mt. Yokotsu. Raised in this clean environment, Hokudai Trout has less of the characteristic fishy taste, allowing you to enjoy the inherent deliciousness of its meat and fat.

Smoked Yamame Trout 80g

Hokkaido University milk, produced at a farm with over 40 years of history, has a refreshing taste in summer and a rich flavor in winter.

"Hokudai Marche Café&Labo," a store located on the Hokkaido University campus, develops original products using 100% Hokkaido University milk under the brand name "HOKUDAI Clark's Milk."

The madeleines are made with 100% whey from Hokkaido University milk. Furthermore, other main ingredients are also sourced from Hokkaido, showcasing a commitment to local products. You can enjoy their moist, smooth texture and a simple, nostalgic flavor that feels like the origin of baked sweets.

Hokudai Gagome® Shredded Kelp 20g

"Hokudai Gagome®" is a line of seaweed products created by "Hokkaido Marine Innovation rings Foods," a startup company originating from Hokkaido University. It was established in 2017 with the mission to "widely share the results of Hokkaido University's seaweed research with the world and contribute to society."

Tororo Kombu (shredded kelp) pairs perfectly with ramen.

Hokudai Gagome® contains more than double the amount of the sticky component fucoidan compared to natural gagome kelp, and it is produced with a cultivation period shortened to one-third of the usual time. A variety of products using this special kelp are available.
