Make sure you have a translator app of some sort to work out what some supermarket packaged food is, as everything is labelled obviously in Japanese.Planning a trip to Hokkaido for January. Does anyone have an idea for a food budget? Middle of the road budget. We're not dirt bagging it but not looking to hit the high end stuff either. We plan to be ski touring most of the time. Will eat out a bit but also buy groceries. And of course sample some beer.
We went to a supermarket in Niseko and grabbed a sealed bag with what looked like shredded chicken in a (maybe) tomato? sauce.
Nope. It wasn't chicken and it smelt like sh.t. Didn't eat it. Couldn't eat it.
