Hokkaido, this is a second largest island of Japan with Hokkaido as capital and Sapporo as it only ordinance-designated city. Hokkaido island is well known for its freshness of seafoods and its massive dairy industry.This island provides half of the country's milk and for their dairy products like butter,cheese,yoghurt and ice cream. We can see that dairy products are very much used in Hokkaido cuisine and this makes the difference from other cuisines of this country.Sending to Bake Fest guest hosted by Nalini.
