Day 13 - Sapporo, the conclusion

And this is my last day of going out and enjoying Hokkaido. It was really fun till it lasted 😃 Woke late today and actually just went out at around  3pm. The weather was not helpful, raining pretty hard and I didn't get an umbrella because...I thought it would get better XD First stop was going to the JR tower stellar palace and it was to get sushi that was recommended to me there. It took me some timr to find where to find the stairs then to find a resto but finally I found one and I was not let down. Got myself a nice plate of sushi suring their lunch time period so sushi, miso soup, another dish that was thick in consistency but had mushroom and chicken and of course 3glasses of sake. That was pretty good. After I headed to the Norbesa center which was 7floor but my interest was on the big wheel on the top. At first I lost interest because it was raining but after walking and getting all wet, I tols myself that I might as well do it because all thay walk would've been for naught.

After, I went on a mission to find a place who would serve this famous Genghis Khan dish that is supposed to be lamb mutton on the grill. I walked all over the area to go back to the Sapporo Station thinking I would find one there but then I asked someone there and they told me that I would find it in Susukino...-_-.... basically I had to walk back past the Norbesa center to find. And so I did.... but really...it took me more than 45min to find a place. At first I tried one and they told me they served at 9:30 pm and it was just 7:30.... it was on a 9th floor so I took the elevator to go down and in the elevator there was 3 women with a man, and they started talking to me asking where I came from but they seemed to had a couple of drinks so they were impressed I could understand them and one of them was talking and she sort said that I was beautiful (LOL) or that Canada was beautiful...that was ambiguous but it was a funny moment. Then I went to another one and they told me they didn't have a table so I just left and finally I found one and went in. The place was busy but the food was worth it. I tried 3different meats but my favorite one was the marbled meat....wow.... first time I had that cut and for sure I won't forget the taste and texture of it....never had a meat that was this heavenly haha. After eating I had to walk back to my apartment but I was satisfied that I had the opportunity to eat this dish.

While walking back, I just enjoyed the scene at night, looking back at these last two weeks I was in Hokkaido. For some reason, this part of Japan resonated with me as it had some sort of resemblance with home and the people were very nice, even more so than last year....or simply I have become a little bit more accustomed to this culture that I appreciate a lot. Such a lovely country with such amazing rich history and culture. Itekimasu!
