Hokkaido Hakodate-shi Suehirocho 8-11

This restaurant specializing in local handmade hamburgers and curry rice is located in the outskirts of Hakodate City. The restaurant exclusively uses ingredients source locally in Donan (Southern Hokkaido) and the rest of Hokkaido. Their food, which is all cooked to order, has a reputation for being hot and delicious. Their most popular item is their Chinese chicken burger, which features salty-sweet fried chicken, lettuce, and mayonnaise.

This is one of the most bizarre settings for a fast food burger place weve ever been too. Totally Christmas themed throughout and giving the place a I dont quite believe it feel - absolutely...

Not just a prefecture but an island of its own, Hokkaido is the most northerly prefecture and island of the Japanese archipelago. Arriving in Hokkaido, which is rural and bursting with breathtaking nature, means entering a world where vast national parks, towering mountains, and natural hot springs can be found at every turn. Come December, these natural splendors freeze over and morph into a winter wonderland.
