Background
Firefly Street, where this event will be held, was established in 2017 as Japan's first (*1) ski-in ski-out village, and in December 2021, the "Ski-in Ski-out Kotatsu Beer Terrace" was held in hopes of providing a special experience to warm up in a kotatsu while on the slopes. The following year, the event was held at the "Ski in Ski out Kotatsu Beer Terrace. The following year, we held the "Ski in Ski out Kotatsu Lounge," which served local oden dishes unique to Hokkaido, with the hope that many generations, from children to adults, would enjoy the experience. This winter, the "Oden Bar" was introduced in hopes of encouraging people to participate in after-ski events as well. Oden skewers that can be ordered from a single skewer are available, as well as sake from Hokkaido that combines the delicious flavor of kombu (kelp) and seafood with oden broth.

Oden Bar" is now available to enjoy après-ski [New].
This winter, an Oden bar will appear in the cafe & bar "Tsukino". This bar serves oden skewers made with seafood and wild vegetables, as well as Hokkaido sake, wine, beer, and other alcoholic beverages. Oden skewers, which can be ordered from a single skewer, combine a variety of seafood such as shrimp and salmon with wild vegetables such as butterbur and bamboo shoots. We recommend enjoying the oden skewers with dashiwari sake, which is a combination of oden soup stock with kombu (kelp). You can spend your après-ski time while savoring Hokkaido's typical oden and sake.

Shrimp skewer, squid skewer (ikameshi), cod skewer (cod x carrot x sugarcane), salmon skewer (salmon x small sweet potato), octopus skewer (octopus x bamboo shoot)
