Winter Festival in Niseko
Share This
The Niseko festival offers travelers to Japan a great opportunity to tour a scenic part of Japan and to enjoy some great food too. The island of Hokkaido, where Niseko is located, is one of Japan’s biggest fresh fruit and vegetable producing regions. In addition to some of the world’s finest produce, you can also expect to find succulent lamb barbecue, gyouza (or, Japanese dumplings,) tempura, miso soup, and ramen. All of these are specialties in Japan, especially noodles like ramen and buckwheat soba.
Dining during the winter festival, there’s plenty of great varitey for diners to enjoy. Yakitori is a Japanese chicken skewer dish that can be seasoned either sweetly or with a spicy bite. Yudofu are several tofu pieces that are boiled in a clear, mild soup and then dipped into a soya based sauce prior to eating them. They are very tasty, as is Agedashi tofu, which is battered lightly and then fried crisp. They are then dipped into a variety of sweet sauces and served as a hot meal that can be portable and satisfying on a cold day in the winter. Here is an infographic to help you see what the Niseko festival is all about. It will make you want to join in the fun!
