Why I Love Yakiniku in Hakuba
The Hakuba stars looked like something out of a fairy tale our first night this season. We finally made it to the well-visited town in Nagano, Japan after traveling the whole day. The crisp of the snow temperatures of Hakuba greeted us so naturally, we wanted some grilled anything.

I was super happy that we visited our brother the @gramurai and his family so I started with a draft Sapporo beer to warm up the system.

Roasted garlic is one of my favorite side dishes in yakiniku so I started with that. One whole garlic with each bite of beef is ideal for me so not many people speak to me closely after these types of meals, LOL.

I'm accustomed to ordering the recommended sets so everyone can defeat their appetites and ordering ala carte dishes.

One dish, in particular, is the beef tongue. I normally don't eat this part of the cow but in Japan, it's extra soft and tender so it's one of the first ala carte dishes I love ordering.

The main set offers a variety of different cuts of beef and most of them melt in your mouth.

Quite a strange way to think about beef but beef in Japan is that delicious to me. I'm trying to cut down on my red meat intake at my age but in Japan, I tend to give some restaurants a pass with thumbs up.

I ordered some egg drop soup and some veggies just to make me feel better, LOL.

It's was a great first night surrounded by our family getting warmed up for the next days to come. The restaurant had a friendly staff and the interior design reminded me of many other wonderful yakinikus I've feasted at over the years. It's connected to one of the town's great onsens so I may drop by again after a rough day of snowboarding.

As we left, I was reminded of how full I can get and reminded of how beautiful a Hakuba night can be. As I looked up at the sky feeling accomplished, I told myself, "...this is why I love yakinikus in Hakuba."

Cottages in one picture look like in a mountain town in Poland. In my life I would not think it was Japan.
Would love to visit Poland one day and holiday at such cottages. Thanks for coming by and have a terrific week.
Where are you from? There is no problem in Poland we have many beautiful places in the mountains as well as in the valleys, lakes, forests or seaside. Poland is a very beautiful and diverse country.
I'm from Thailand....I've heard and read about Bialowieża Forest since a child and would love to visit the ancient trees there. I just visited a 500-year-old tree in Japan. Would super love to do the same with the oak trees in Bialowieża Forest there... That would be amazing.
I'm from Poland and I was not in this wilderness, but when you come, we'll go together :) I really want to visit Thailand
Super.
Thanks a million!
Wellcom

It was a great time. With the great company of family and friends, every meal is delicious. Super thanks for coming by and have an amazing rest of the week :)
Beef tongue can be delicious. In a burrito it might be the best possible cut of beef.
Got to try it in a burrito! Thanks for coming by and have a great week.
!tipuvote :)
Thanks a billion. Super appreciate you!
I am getting hungry ;)
It was a great meal indeed :) Thanks for coming by and have a marvelous week!
That meal looks incredible. I've never tried beef tongue but would like to. I've heard that it can be quite good.
Looks like a great way to spend time with family
