Think Hokkaido and one might picture a winter wonderland of snow-capped mountains and natural hot springs. But foodies will know that this northernmost part of Japan is home to a wondrous bounty from both the sea and the land. Serving up delicious dishes prepared with this plethora of fresh seafood, quality beef, vegetables and dairy, Hokkaido Izakaya is the best place to sample a taste of the island without flying there physically. The 49-seater at Tanjong Pagar opened in early 2016 and a second outlet at Wisma Atria’s Japan Food Town followed six months later, attesting to the popularity of Hokkaido fare.
