Time for good food in Akanko Onsen!
#1 Lunch time
September is still a hot month in Honshu, but the temperature in Lake Akan has calmed down and autumn is just around the corner.
The trees are changing color little by little, and the short but beautiful season of autumn leaves is right there. It seems like the season has arrived when delicious food tastes even better.
We will be introducing the gourmet of Lake Akan area. You can walk from one end of the town to the other for just 1km taking about 15 minutes, so it's not a big town, but you can enjoy a variety of gourmet. What we would like to introduce to you today is a menu that you can enjoy for lunch.
Smelt of Lake Akan
Ice fishing is a famous winter tradition at Lake Akan, but you can also enjoy smelt dishes year-round at restaurants and hotels around town. In addition, `smeld boiled in soy sauce is a popular souvenir to take the taste home.
Although the smelt from Lake Akan are small in size, they have no peculiar taste and are easy to eat.
Smelt tempura soba is popular at Nabekyu, and there is often a line in front of the restaurant during lunch hours. Of course you can enjoy it with soba soup, but you can also enjoy it with curry salt. Please enjoy the smelt from Lake Akan, including the different flavors!
Deer meat bowl
East Hokkaido, where Lake Akan is located, is surrounded by magnificent nature, and a variety of wild animals inhabit it. In particular, the number of deer is increasing year by year, and the damage caused by feeding is also increasing in the area, so eating them as wild game is becoming more popular.
There are several restaurants in Lake Akan where you can eat venison as game meat.
This is Ryogoku's venison bowl, and it's topped with plenty of venison seasoned with a special sauce, making it a satisfying meal! It has a flavor similar to that of lean meat that has no taste and is refreshing, making it a gourmet dish that can be enjoyed by both children and adults.
Kushiro's local gourmet: SUPAKATSU
I think it's no exaggeration to say that "Supakatsu" is one of the popular local gourmet in Kushiro City.
Supakatsu, sometimes called ``"Cutlet meat'' is a Kushiro gourmet dish with lots of calories, consisting of a crispy cutlet placed on top of spaghetti, and meat sauce poured over the top! There are several restaurants in Akanko Onsen town that sell supakatsu, so be sure to check out your favorite supakatsu!
This is the cutlet meat from "Cafe Mocha", served on a traditional silver plate, and the spaghetti topped with freshly fried cutlet is sure to fill your stomach!
Extra Edition: Ankake Yakisoba
Writer's favorite is "`Ankake(soba with thick sauce on top) Yakisoba'', a regular menu at the only Chinese restaurant in Akanko Onsen Town.
The Ankake Yakisoba, which is served on a flat Chinese plate, is a dish that I end up ordering every time I go there (I look at the menu but end up choosing it). Eating yakisoba with thick ankake sauce at Lake Akan Onsen, where the temperature sometimes exceeds -20 degrees in winter, will warm your body from the core. Be sure to visit this Chinese restaurant in town, which local people love to go for their lunch as well.
What did you think? Akanko Onsen town is full of delicious gourmet that will make your stomach swell. Be sure to enjoy some delicious food after taking a walk through the forest or lake!
