Day 4: Chessy Hotpot at Haruchan Sushi (春ちゃん寿司)

Another wet night for us in Hokkaido. Well, this makes it a perfect day to have cheesy hotpot at Haruchan Sushi. :)))

It wasn't as cheesy as we imagined. :D

We thought we would be able to call it a nite....but...
a little pebble caught somehow latched onto our wheel, resulting in loud cranking sound..we waited for more than 2 hours for help to come. The anxiety and finally relief made the four of us hungry again and we ended up at McDonald's! :))) We need food to calm our nerves. :D

Day 4: Eating Healthy at Restaurant Asperges

For today's lunch, we are having it at Restaurant Asperges. A Michelin star restaurant, it prides itself with serving diners freshest produce grown from the fields of Biei. :)

The decor of the restaurant is simply clean with full glass window that allows ample natural light to flow through every corner of the establishment. This simplicity is evident in the food Restaurant Asperges serves as well, allowing us to taste the natural flavors of every ingredient.

What we do before every meal...finding every opportunity to "cling" our glasses. :D

Colorful edible works :)

This dish caused so much anticipation and excitement. The waitress brought out a huge Staub pot and was explaining to us in Japanese what it was, keeping the pot closed at all times. (note: our gasp of the language is bare minimum).It must be something really good and we were all anticipating it was some premium beef or seafood. When she opened the cover to present the star dish, we gotta hold in our laughters, not wanting to appear rude. The look on our faces...priceless.

So here we have it...the star dish... :))) Half a cherry tomato and a stalk of broccoli. 

Dessert was simple and clean too. :)

This has gotta be the lightest meal of our trip but we were stuffed from laughing. :))) An experience that inked deeply in our memory.
