01 Sapporo: Miso Ramen Speaking of the most beautiful places in Japan in winter, Sapporo in Hokkaido is definitely one of them.
There was heavy snow in the sky, and as I walked on the snow wearing a thick coat, I could hear the "squeaking" sound of my shoes squeezing against the snow.
Anyone who has tried miso soup ramen will know that in such a scene, a steaming bowl of "Sapporo ramen" is definitely a must-have item in winter.
The thick miso soup is paired with thick noodles, and the heat slides into the intestines.
As the last mouthful of soup slid down the throat, the heat returned to the mouth and turned into a white mist in the breath.
This is the romance of Sapporo in winter.
02 Aomori: Porridge Juice Aomori has beautiful forests and wilderness, and is also rich in crops.
Aomori’s famous porridge juice (nano juice) comes from these gifts of nature.
Have you eaten?
A lot of diced vegetables are added to the kombu-based soup stock, and even without a trace of meat, the soup is extremely fresh.
In some Tsugaru areas, porridge is also served as a New Year dish, which has a strong seasonal atmosphere for Japanese people.
03 Iwate Prefecture: Thickened Udon Noodles As a form of Chinese cuisine, thickened gravy is very familiar to us, but how many people have tasted the combination with udon noodles?
Udon noodles are great to eat in winter. Starch is added to the soup to make the soup thick and smooth. Together with the thick noodles, it can quickly warm the body in the cold winter.
Accompanying the thickening is the refreshing soy sauce soup base with a rich taste. The warm and delicious taste soothes the already tense body and mind.
04 Miyagi: Beef tongue When you think of beef tongue, you must think of Sendai City, Miyagi Prefecture, just like when you think of roast duck, you think of Beijing.
Beef tongue is elastic and has a high protein content. It has a unique taste that is different from other beef. It is the star of the Japanese barbecue industry.
Just imagine, in the cold winter, holding a bowl of white rice in your hand, the elastic beef tongue jumping between the baking sheets, making a wonderful "sizzling" sound.
This kind of winter makes people look forward to it.
