An authentic rural Hokkaido breakfast is known to be more seafood-based and usually boosts the local agricultural produce. I recently had the privilege to try the authentic Hokkaido breakfast during my Japan trip.
Hokkaido Breakfast Set
A typical set of Hokkaido breakfast includes slightly sticky rice, half-boiled Tamago (egg), miso soup, lightly grilled salmon, anchovy, beef slices, salad, persimmon, and cold tofu. Personally, for me, that’s way too much food for breakfast.
I started munching on the rice and moved on to the miso soup, in which they put three clans, it was delicious. Perfect for a morning starter. Next, I tried the beef slice, it was okay. Not as bad as the not-so-cooked cold anchovies.
I was only used to eating anchovies that were much smaller in size. They were either deep-fried or deep-fried with green chilli. I passed on the cold salad.
The tofu was also cold and had no flavour, but strangely enough, it was miso soup’s perfect companion.
Meanwhile, the salmon could have been saltier, but they might reduce some ingredients since they served it as breakfast. I usually fan half-boiled eggs, but I didn’t like this one.
It took me some time to finish the whole Hokkaido breakfast set. I tried my best, but I still left a lot. Maybe because I have never been a big breakfast kind of person.
The service, as always, was impeccable. That’s all for my introduction to Hokkaido breakfast. All in all, it was okay, not my kind of breakfast. But it also made me curious as to why there is no dairy product served with the set meal since Hokkaido is famous for it.
