In July 2012, I stayed at the business hotel "Hotel Sakae-ya" located near Rausu Fishing Port for one night. The breakfast included in the reservation plan, "1 night breakfast business plan (7,350 yen including consumption tax and service charge)", was as shown in the photo. It was a very standard Japanese breakfast, but the standout was the delicious "simmered herring". The flavor was well infused and the fat content was good. Herring, also known as "spring fish", is recognized as an essential ingredient in spring, but in Hokkaido, it is classified into spring herring, summer herring, and winter herring depending on the fishing season, body color, and size. The summer herring, which is 12-18 cm in length and rich in fat, is known to come to the Pacific coast and Okhotsk Sea coast of Hokkaido from May to August. In the lobby of the hotel, neatly arranged manga books are displayed, and you can help yourself to hot coffee. During my stay, a crew from a certain TV station was also staying at the hotel. In addition to the lobby, the rooms are equipped with wireless LAN, and some rooms also have wired LAN connections.
