When you get out of the car, a simple wooden door opens, and a soft light illuminates your feet from an alley-like approach to a private house. When the next door opens, the field of view expands at once, and Mt. Yotei, which is cut out by the windows on the entire surface up to the high ceiling, looks like a wide picture. It has an overwhelming presence and fascinates the viewer. The welcoming sight is a luxurious space surrounded by the warmth of light-filled trees. A charcoal fire is burning in the hearth, and steam rises gently from the iron kettle. The gallery is furnished with &nbsp;&nbsp;antiques and aspirations of Hokkaido.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"681\" src=\"https:\/\/www.raku-suisan.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/K12_0843_Lounge-1024x681.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-249\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.raku-suisan.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/K12_0843_Lounge-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.raku-suisan.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/K12_0843_Lounge-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.raku-suisan.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/K12_0843_Lounge-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.raku-suisan.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/K12_0843_Lounge-1536x1022.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.raku-suisan.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/K12_0843_Lounge-2048x1363.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.raku-suisan.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/K12_0843_Lounge-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This land is blessed with ingredients brought about\nby the four seasons with different temperatures. Everyone knows, there are few native\ningredients during winter in Hokkaido.&nbsp; These\ningredients are delicately connected to nature. For example, cows feed on green\ngrass in summer and hay in winter. Therefore, the milk in summer is lighter,\nand the milk in winter is sweeter and richer. Even the taste of milk has four\nseasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The characteristic of winter vegetables in Hokkaido\nis sometimes described as &#8220;earthy&#8221;. It is a word you don&#8217;t hear often\nin other areas. However, the earthiness gives us a variety of foods that are\ntypical of the untouched woodland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"681\" src=\"https:\/\/www.raku-suisan.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/K12_0881-1-1024x681.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.raku-suisan.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/K12_0881-1-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.raku-suisan.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/K12_0881-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.raku-suisan.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/K12_0881-1-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.raku-suisan.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/K12_0881-1-1536x1022.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.raku-suisan.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/K12_0881-1-2048x1363.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.raku-suisan.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/K12_0881-1-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Various beans are harvested in\u3000Shiribeshi\nas well as Makkari area around Niseko.
