Domingo, in cooperation with the Hokkaido branch of Japan Tobacco Inc., had planned to hold a special event, "Dosanko Specialty Products PR Dojo Supported by Domingo," on August 27th to commemorate the JT Professional Shogi Japan Series Hokkaido Tournament. The goal was to introduce Hokkaido's finest specialty products to a wider audience.
At the event, seven municipalities were scheduled to present their specialty "local dishes," showcasing one of Hokkaido's greatest charms: its food. Unfortunately, the event had to be canceled due to the state of emergency declaration.
So instead, Domingo would like to introduce the "local dishes" recommended by the residents of the municipalities that were scheduled to participate! We have also listed them on Domingo's mail-order page so you can purchase them right away. Be sure to read to the end!
1. Asahikawa City: "Ginneko Starter Set (1 Bag of Chappu-yaki for 2 & 1 Shinko-yaki)"
From Asahikawa City, we introduce the "Ginneko Starter Set," a pack containing one bag each of the specialty Chappu-yaki and Shinko-yaki from Ginneko, a yakitori restaurant with over seventy years of history! "Shinko-yaki" is a soul food long-loved in Asahikawa, made by grilling a whole six-week-old young chicken from Date, Hokkaido, and then seasoning it. "Chappu-yaki" features Hokkaido pork shoulder loin carefully hand-grilled over charcoal by skilled chefs. The secret sauce is the key, making it a perfect dish to accompany rice or drinks!
2. Obihiro City: "Tokachi Obihiro Butadon (Pork Bowl)"
From Obihiro City, we introduce the local gourmet dish of Tokachi-Obihiro, "Butadon" (pork bowl)! It was created in the early Showa era at a diner in Obihiro, born from the desire to provide a stamina-boosting meal for hardworking people. It is loved for its sweet and savory sauce, which varies by restaurant, and its tender pork that can be cut with chopsticks. It's easy to eat and packed with pork, which is rich in Vitamin B1, essential for brain energy, making it a perfect meal before a big challenge!
3. Kitami City: "Tama-Koro & Hokkaido Onion Soup (12 packs)"
From Kitami City, we introduce "Tama-Koro," a croquette where Kitami-grown onions are the star, without using potatoes or cream, and the "Hokkaido Onion Soup," which packs the concentrated flavor of Kitami onions! As Japan's top producer, Kitami's onions are grown on the vast northern land with long hours of sunshine, making them full of sweetness and umami. The "Tama-Koro" is seasoned with tuna and mayonnaise, a perfect match for sautéed onions. These two items make great souvenirs!
4. Kushiro City: "Kushiro 'Namara' 'Otameshi' Box"
From Kushiro City, located in eastern Hokkaido, we introduce the "Kushiro 'Namara' 'Otameshi' Box," which delivers the "namara" (very) delicious foods of Kushiro! The "Namara Box" is packed with delicious local products, including seafood caught off the coast of Kushiro and agricultural and livestock products raised in its rich natural environment. It contains a variety of products in small portions, making it the perfect trial box for those who want to get a first taste of Kushiro's flavors.
5. Tomakomai City: "'Double Curry Taste-Comparison Set' Curry Ramen x Hokki Curry"
From Tomakomai City, we introduce the "Double Curry Taste-Comparison Set," featuring two local gourmet items: the Curry Ramen from its originator, "Aji no Daio," and the Hokki Curry from "Marutoma Shokudo," a specialty of Tomakomai, which boasts the largest catch of surf clams (hokki) in Japan! The miso curry ramen features medium-thick noodles made from 100% Hokkaido wheat in a pork bone-based soup with over a dozen spices. The Hokki Curry is loaded with surf clams, allowing you to enjoy their natural flavor and soft yet chewy texture. Experience the taste of Tomakomai with these curries loved by all ages!
6. Hakodate City: "Hakodate Morning Market's Selected Products 'Smartphone Morning Market'"
From Hakodate City, we introduce the "Smartphone Morning Market," where you can easily buy selected products from the Morning Market, a food wonderland where all sorts of flavors, including seafood, gather! The Smartphone Morning Market is a service that connects shops wanting to sell selected products from the morning market and other markets with customers who want to buy them. It's packed with great finds, including products and menus selected by local market owners, as well as limited-edition items and special menus recommended by the staff!
