Amid fun days of bicycle rides, cherry blossoms and all other adventures post Hokkaido, there was amazing Japanese food at every stop. Some of the regular favourites include okonomiyaki, a Japanese shredded cabbage based pancake with your choice of meat or seafood, silky smooth ramen in creamy rich broths with that signature soft-centred egg and pork katsu, deep-fried crumbed pork with a melt in your mouth texture.
