Day 4: Breakfast at Rinyu Morning Market (鱗友朝市)

The morning shower isn't keeping us away from Rinyu Morning Market. This market is possibly one of the smallest we had been to. 

We picked up more dried seafood products such as dried shrimps and anchovies here. :)

But the ultimate goal of coming here was to have seafood breakfast! :D There are only 3 restaurants in this little market. 

This was what we came for :)))

I'm so not used to having tempuras for breakfast...it feels weird...but I guess we now have all the energy needed to start our 4th day adventure. :)))

Day 2: A Ryokan Experience with the Cousins :)

We had a good nite sleep at Mercure Hotel! Plus a scrumptious traditional Japanese breakfast, we are all ready for our second day in Hokkaido. :D 

I've a soft spot for croissant.... :)

Nijo Seafood Market is within walking distance to Mercure Sapporo (6 mins walk). That's the first place we are gonna check out today. :)

It's not possible for us to buy fresh seafood as we are on a road trip. But we are definitely laying our hands on the anchovies, dried shrimps and scallops. They make awesome broth! :D

Are you into Soup curry? It's another signature food you need to try when you are in Hokkaido. :) There was a long queue by the time we get to Soup Curry Garaku! *.*

Tabulating our funds while we waited for our food. :D

We chose chicken soup curry and pork soup curry to try. There're not the thick curry we are used to. Think spicy soup. :)

What's curry without rice? :D

Garaku Soup Curry....checked....off to our next destination. :D We stumbled upon Noymond Organic Cafe on our way to Soup Curry Garaku and they serve gelato! Of course we need to make a stop here after lunch. :)))

For Charlotte & Lydia :)

Happy bellies, happy us. :D We are off to our ryokan indulgence at Club Jyozankei. :)

Our room at Club Jyozankei is huge. We should have just gotten one room. :)))

Cheers to our first ryokan experience together. :)

Club Jyozankei has a library where guests can enjoy complimentary drinks. :)

Dressing up in our Yukata and ready for our dinner at the Ryokan. :)

This isn't the bill. It's the menu. :)

I treasure every cousins get-togethers. Though we are busy with our own commitments, we are close at heart. :) 

And we finished our second day on a sweet note. :D
