Hokkaido Festival in Yoyogi Park 2013 / 北海道フェアin代々木２０１３

It was another Sunday and my mother treated me and my friends to the Sunday Champagne Brunch at their hotel but as I already featured the brunch on previous post I'm going to talk about dinner instead. We were already pretty full but I wanted to take my sister and Tyrone to the Hokkaido Fair that was going on at Yoyogi Park and off we went, leaving the parents behind.

また別の日曜日が来て、両親が僕たちと僕の友達を泊まってるホテルのサンデイシャンパンブランチをご馳走してくれた。そのブランチは以前紹介しましたので、今回は夕食がメイン。丁度その日は代々木公園で北海道フェアが開催してました。結構ブランチで食べたが、妹夫妻を代々木公園に連れてあげることに決定。

Yes, we are going to eat meat!!

はい、今日も肉食べたますよ！

Genghis Khan (a lamb dish that's well known in Hokkaido) from a restaurant called Matsuo.

やっぱり北海道フェアで食べなきゃいけないのは松尾のジンギスカン。

It is the Hokkaido Fair, so it only seems appropriate to drink a Sapporo Classic beer.

北海道フェアなので、やっぱり飲み物はサッポロクラシックの生ビール。

More meat!

また肉だ！

More lamb.

羊の肉だ！

From Matsuo / 松尾から

I told you we were going to eat meat!

言ってでしょう、肉を食べるって！

Sapporo Shoyu Ramen / 札幌醤油ラーメン

Sapporo Miso Ramen / 札幌味噌ラーメン

Croquettes / コロッケ

You see, I'm not the only one that takes pictures of the foods we eat.

ほら、僕たけじゃないよ、料理の写真を撮るのは。

I think my sister and Tyrone were enjoying the festival.

It looks like more food to me.

A bit of seafood as well.

Hokkaido is also known for its fresh milk and my sister was craving fresh ice cream. Unfortunately, the fair was ending early on Sunday and we didn't find any ice cream for my sister.

北海道の牛乳とソフトクリームも有名で、妹はソフトクリームが食べたかった。残念ながら、この日祭りは６時で終了、そして、ソフトを売ってる屋台を見つからず、そのままこの場を去った。

But my sister still got her ice cream fix as there is an ice cream shop located not too far from Yoyogi park.

でも妹はちゃんとアイスが食べられた。代々木公園の近くにあるアイスの店がありました。
