On the first day of the New Year, Yongshan’s family started to prepare for skiing in a lively manner.
Of course I can't drive a two-seater convertible this time. It will take 7 or 8 hours to take the Shinkansen, and I have to change trains.
Of course I flew there directly this time, but I still had to take the high-speed train to the Tokyo airport to catch a plane...
Sitting on the high-speed train, Hezi kept talking:
"New Tokyo International Airport, Ni-chan, why do you have to go to this airport?"
"Of course it's because there is no airport in Shizuoka..."
At this moment, Nagayama Naoki was like a parent taking a child out to play. He kept answering the child's strange questions, "How can we fix it?" It was clear that the real parents were right next to him, still admiring the scenery outside.
As a member of the older generation, I have spent most of my life in small cities. Let alone Sapporo, I have never even been to Tokyo. I am very excited to come out this time, and so is my eldest brother.
The high-speed train from Shizuoka to Tokyo only takes more than an hour, but by the time we get to the airport, 2 hours have passed. Naoki Nagayama has already booked the flight, picked up the tickets, and the group waited at the largest airport in Tokyo.
.
It's strange to say that the three men of the Yongshan family each had a copy of the airport's magazines and newspapers, and they sat in the waiting area and read them intently, while the two ladies were wandering around the airport. If not for their mother, Tsuruko seemed to
I also want to buy some souvenirs at the souvenir shop.
"You're not a foreigner, so why are you buying souvenir gifts from Japan?"
Nagayama Naoki helplessly looked at the key pendant in Tsuruko's hand. The piggy image of QQ almost made him think it was Peppa Pig.
"I'm a foreigner! What I bought is a souvenir from Tokyo!" Tsuruko said proudly, "It's a very interesting pendant~"
Fortunately, the flight arrived on time more than half an hour later. A group of five people checked in and entered the cabin in a neat manner. The seats were almost connected together.
As the plane started, Hezi's face turned pale.
"Ni-chan, will there be an accident on the plane? I seem to be a little dizzy..."
"Tsuruko, what are you worried about? Airsickness is normal. Come and eat a piece of gum."
Nagayama Naoki noticed that his parents and eldest brother's faces were also a little solemn, and then he remembered that this seemed to be the first time for the whole family to fly.
"Father, mother, eldest brother, please take a piece of chewing gum to relieve airsickness."
Airsickness is a rare phenomenon. In fact, chewing gum can slightly relieve their nervousness.
"Have you ever flown a plane before, Ni-chan? Why do you seem to know so much?" Tsuruko muttered while chewing gum.
"For the filming of "Air
"Doctor" I have checked a lot of information..." Naoki Nagayama was fooled, "Compared with other modes of transportation, airplanes can be considered the safest way to travel in the world."
How else to say? In my previous life, I used airplanes as taxis?
...
Naturally, there is no such thing as in-flight meals for a short one-hour journey.
Before noon, the Nagayama family arrived at Sapporo International Airport.
"Sure enough, Sapporo is colder." Mother said as she looked outside and distributed scarves to several people, "It's still snowing."
"This is better for skiing~ Let's go try the local food later, stay at a hot spring hotel near the ski resort in the afternoon, soak in the hot springs in the evening, and go skiing tomorrow~"
"Perfect!" Tsuruko, who has the potential to be a bitch, gave a thumbs up.
The luggage and other things brought by a few people are temporarily stored at the airport, so they travel light. After eating, they have to take a special car to the hot spring village to go to the hotel there.
Nagayama Naoki had already made a reservation in advance at Sapporo's famous crab restaurant, Ice and Snow Gate. After walking out of Sapporo's airport, he called two taxis and the group headed all the way towards the Ice and Snow Gate.
The restaurant is not far from the airport, just over ten minutes' drive.
Looking at this famous local restaurant in Sapporo, Tsuruko was a little surprised.
"Didn't you say that the restaurant has 6 floors? It doesn't look big at all?"
The eldest brother Qingshan said from the side: "This is called returning to nature! There is something special in this kind of restaurant!"
"What's there? There's also the university cafeteria hidden on the 17th floor. If you get admitted to Tokyo, you can eat there every day." Nagayama Naoki thought of the university cafeteria where he ate a few days ago.
Ice and Snow Gate is famous for its crab dishes, especially king crab. Five people booked a private room and ordered a set of Hokkaido special meals and a high-end three crab set. They also added some dishes and it was a meal for five people. Should be more than enough.
Although the Yongshan family has always lived by the sea, crabs as big as king crabs are still rarely eaten, especially this time there are various ways to prepare them.
After the whole hairy crab was brought up for inspection, it was taken down to be steamed.
The first thing to serve is the snow crab sashimi and hot pot. The crab meat sashimi is cool, fresh and sweet without any seasoning, which brings out the original flavor of the crab meat. Next, a whole crab leg is put into the hot hot pot. In less than a minute, I took it out and put it in my mouth, and I felt the rich and tender meat of snow crab again.
The snow crab tempura, snow crab jelly and other dishes were served one after another, making the taste of crab meat linger in your mouth, getting thicker and thicker.
The main event, the charcoal-grilled king crab legs, was finally served. The flames inspired the original aroma of the crab meat. The crab legs were as big as the palm of your hand, dipped in a little mustard, and you took a bite. The meat was firm, fresh and sweet with a hint of sea salt. , tender and chewy,
There is only one word in Nagayama Naoki's heart, satisfaction!
Others in the family also praised it, but they all like to eat differently. My father likes hot pot, my mother likes sashimi, and the remaining three all like to eat meat, especially meat.
Tsuruko took another tempura and stuffed it into his mouth, while the elder brother, like Naoki Nagayama, grabbed a king crab leg to taste.
The steamed hairy crabs arrived late, and the chef had already helped portion them out, along with 5 small bowls of rice, just enough for one crab per person.
The hairy crab seems to have more oil. The crab meat is as fresh and sweet as it is delicious, and has an aroma of oil. The crab paste is slightly translucent. When poured on top of the rice, it is mixed with the rice. The rice has the taste of crab, and the crab has the aroma of rice. It’s endlessly memorable.
In addition to the main dish, crab, the set menu also includes abalone, peony shrimp, fish, sea urchin, seasonal vegetables, etc., and an ice cream dessert is also served at the end.
Well, eating ice cream in the snow is indeed more delicious~
...
It was a very satisfying meal, and the unique flavor of Hokkaido is really amazing.
After leaving the store, the family didn't want to take the car for the time being, and simply walked around the city of Sapporo to eat up.
"Ni-chan, this is the taste of Hokkaido!"
Tsuruko was still savoring the taste of the food, while his eldest brother Nagayama Aoki looked envious.
“It would be great if our izakaya could also be run into such a famous restaurant in the future~”
"As long as Aoki works hard, he will definitely be able to do it." His father encouraged him at this time, "But there are still many things to learn!"
"Hey, I will work harder!"
It seems that the eldest brother Aoki is really interested in cooking, and he doesn't feel like he is forced to inherit the family business.
"Father, mother, let's go to the airport. We can have a rest at the hotel."
After riding in the car for most of the day, I was full again, and a slight feeling of sleepiness seemed to come over me. I could really go to the resort hotel to rest for a while.
