Snow Festival @ Night











Ice bar - karaoke
























Out and About Sapporo














Did you know Sapporo Classic is a beer ONLY sold in Hokkaido??? We jumped on it and bought a case at the local Lawsons on the way back to our hotel. Sapporo is famous for their seafood since being surrounded by cold water, crabs are esp. famous there. They're are street vendors all over, which made me crave a delicious crab dinner even more. Our first night we splurged on Italian: two bottles of red wine, garlic bread, Caesar salad, pizza, and dessert. Mmm!!! Lovely COLD Sapporo!!!
ps. the weird Dracula face is a funky Karaoke place we always passed...just HAD to take a pic.
pss. here was our 1st views of TV tower, the beginning of Odori Park.

Sapporo Beer Garden - Hokkaido









































The word beer has become synonymous with Sapporo, and a trip to the Sapporo Beer Museum plus a tour of the brewery gives an insight into the history of brewing in Sapporo since it began in 1876. The adjoining brick buildings of the former brewery now house a beer hall where the local brew is complemented by a variety of Hokkaido delicacies including the popular lamb barbeques named after the Mongolian warrior Genghis Khan.
