紺青の海(4)
On March 5, 2023, in Sapporo, I visited the Hokkaido cuisine restaurant "Yukku Chitose Airport Terminal Building Store" and took the NH064 flight back. This marks the end of my three-night, four-day trip to Sapporo. I will be taking the express train from Sapporo Station. On the platform at Sapporo Station, there is a soba restaurant, a sight rarely seen in the Tokyo area. Perhaps many of the customers are on business trips. The train arrives, and the doors remain open for ventilation due to COVID-19 measures. It feels cool. It's time to say goodbye to the snow of Hokkaido. Before takeoff, I decided to have lunch at New Chitose Airport. I ordered the Shirakaba set meal for 1,790 yen, which included crab, sea urchin, tuna, salmon, sweet shrimp, squid, tempura, and steamed egg custard. The foil-grilled dish seemed to be salmon. I also tried the "Hokkaido Gochisou Kiwami Don" for 3,180 yen, which came with a miso soup. The dish had fewer toppings than shown in the menu photo, and the rice was visible. I enjoyed crab legs, ika, sweet shrimp, and ika. Instead of salmon, I had sardines. The scallops, rice, uni, and ikura were all delicious. It was time to catch my flight back home from the Hokkaido cuisine restaurant at Chitose Airport Terminal Building.
