Japanese-style breakfast is the way to go at Hotel Northern Lodge
Our room rate included breakfast and dinner and we got to choose between Japanese and Western-style meals. We usually tell the hotel staff half-a-day in advance which option we want.
My wife took the Western-style breakfast once and it was good, standard fare – sausages, eggs, toasts, coffee/tea.
I had my fill of rice, pickled vegetables and miso soup for breakfast. I love it because it’s simple and healthy. The one dish i didn’t like was a very sticky bean called nato. I was supposed to mix it with the rice but i couldn’t get used to its taste and texture.
Dinner at Hotel Northern Lodge - you got to try it to believe it
Pipping hot rice served with soup, fried fish, sashimi, boiled and pickled vegetables, scallops and tofu / mushrooms simmering in broth etc. The portions were small but the spread was amazing.
And of cause, every meal came with the famous Hokkaido crabs!
I still dream about the food now…
