Yogurt

Hokkaido is known for one of the best farm land in Japan. Tokachi district is where we live and Tokachi is a good brand for agricultural products. When these products are in Tokyo area, they can sell at higher prices because of its brand.

Before I came to Hokkaido, I did not drink milk much since I did not like the processed milk much. However, after I came to Hokkaido, I began to drink milk much because of the different processing process for milk in Japan. One of my dairy farmer friend gave us non-processed milk and they were very rich and I liked it. The dairy farmer friend showed us around his farm with lots of Holstein milk cows.

It was only one hour away to get to my friend’s farm. Lots of other animal were there. Anyways, Yogurt is fermented milk and they are good after each meal. There are many other brands for yogurt in Japan. We mix with liquid sugar from sugar beet before we eat them.

Recently we eat yogurt a lot and almost everyday we find ourselves eat yogurt. When yogurt is not in the refrigerator, someone will notice and we just go out to buy some.

My diet in Japan has changed greatly. First of all, I began to eat brown rice everyday. Since then, I lost about 3 kg (about 5 lbs.) Lucky! Miso soup and tofu, and other fish are very often on the table. Less meat and more vegetables. Specially from the spring to fall, we will have home grown vegetables. It is almost all-you-can-eat vegetables and they are good.

Hokkaido provides fresh milk, lots of vegetables, and delicious fish. You know also Hokkaido is well known for good food. You have to come and taste some when you come to Japan. Hokkaido is the place you want to visit. If you do, please stop by us.
