Don't Miss Out on Hokkaido's Delicacies! The A La Carte Dilemma and the Course Solution

When you open the menu at Mainichi Hokkaido Bussanten, you'll find it packed with the charms of Hokkaido, from fresh seafood to the blessings of the land like meat and vegetables, right down to the final dish. In our vibrant restaurant, surrounded by a dazzling array of fresh ingredients, you might find yourself thinking, Everything looks so delicious, I can't choose, I want to try what's most in season, but what is it? or Aren't courses too much food?

While there's certainly joy in selecting dishes one by one from the a la carte menu, it can sometimes lead to regrets like, Was that really the best combination? or Did I miss out on a seasonal specialty? This is especially true for Hokkaido's ingredients, which change with the seasons and offer unique flavors at different times of the year. We want our guests to enjoy the very best ingredients of the season, served in their absolute prime.

To solve all these dilemmas and ensure our guests are truly satisfied, we propose our Chef's Omakase Course. A course meal is like a culinary story woven by the chef just for you.
