"Hokkaido Bussan Exhibition" is a very popular event in department stores. No matter where it is held, many people rush for seafood bowls.

However, this time I would like to introduce the "Hokkaido Fair" which is held at the hotel's buffet restaurant instead of the department store. It's all-you-can-eat, so you can eat as many kinds of things as you like, or you can eat all the things you like. Here are two buffets that you will want to visit because of the "autumn of appetite", along with the ingredients recommended by the chef who visited the site.

Speaking of autumn Hokkaido fairs in Tokyo, you can't miss this. The first "Hokkaido Fair 2015" is being held at Tokyo Dome Hotel's Super Dining Rilassa. You can enjoy the classic "Crab big catch", "All-you-can-eat salmon roe" and "Hihara melon".

This year, in commemoration of the 15th anniversary of the hotel's opening, dishes using "15 ingredients" found by the chef during a site visit will be introduced. What are the most notable ingredients ...?

[1] Rice

One item is "rice," which is not seafood, meat, or fruit, but is offered as much as you want. A variety called "Yuki Sayaka", which was registered as a variety in 2010, was produced at Kosaka Farm in Mukawa Town. The cooked salmon roe has whiteness and luster, and has moderate stickiness and sweetness, which makes you want to eat it. Along with "Yumepirika" and "Oborozuki", it is said to have a good taste.

Since the production volume is small, it is offered as much as you want. Have fun while chewing carefully. The first (until October 22nd) and dinner only.

[2] Carrot

Next is "carrot". It is served as a "roast of the earth" near the soba corner.

It was produced by Tada Farm in Kamifurano Town, which is called "40 years of carrots." I think that many carrots that appear at such fairs emphasize sweetness, but the carrots at the farm have a strong "carrot taste" rather than sweetness. The simple roasting recipe also complements the taste.

Other vegetables are also delicious

[3] Bacon

The three items are pizzas made with "bacon" from Makubetsu-cho Uragami Meat. Homemade ham and sausages are popular at Uragami Meat. Sausages made from high-quality pork smoked with oak trees are all exquisite.

It's just a little on top of the pizza because of the amount of supply, but try eating only bacon before you bite. Even small pieces have a natural salty taste and a fragrant smoked aroma that spreads in your mouth.
