An update on our foodie trip to:
Sapporo, Hokkaido
Hokkaido is famous for ジンギスカン(Jingisukan, literally 'Genghis Khan') which is grilled lamb that originated in Japan but was thought to be a dish Genghis Khan and his army ate during war.
Daruma in Susukino was my first Jingisukan experience.
You grill (fresh charcoal) the lamb meat with vegetables.
The marinade was tasty and the onions were super sweet.. so good!
It was really cold (in June!) so it tasted even better!
And luckily we didn't have to wait.
Tiny store that seats only 16 people but people just keep flowing in!
On a side note,
its a world cup frenzy here because Japan won 1-0 over Cameroon!
and amazingly, US tied with UK thanks to this goal:

nippon! cha! cha! cha!
p.s. I wanna see more hokkaido pictures!
i didnt realize that lamb was the traditional dish for genghis khan. Ive always thought that people in japan would typically shy away from
"gamey" tasting/smelling meats like lamb.
personally, i love lamb if its fresh out of the oven and still piping hot, but cannot stand how it smells or tastes once it becomes cold....
