Wholesale Hokkaido

Hokkaido is a culinary celebration of Japan’s northernmost island. Known especially for its seafood and dairy products, Hokkaido has a long been celebrated for its vibrant culinary scene. The prefecture incorporates three foodways – European agricultural models; traditional and modern Japanese cuisine; and indigenous Ainu gastronomy – which have led to Hokkaido having a distinct food culture from the rest of Japan. These foodways have resulted in Hokkaido incorporating a wealth of ingredients: milk, pork, wheat, and lavender, drawing on the European influence; seaweed, fresh crab, and melons, to utilise the top-quality local produce; wild venison, foraged wild vegetables, and salmon, as a result of the Ainu influence.
