#HokkaidoThings
Many people think “horou” is standard Japanese.
But the standard word is actually “harau” (to brush/sweep off).

#SnowCountryThings
When the snow melts, all kinds of things start appearing ξ(･ω･)3

#HokkaidoThings
We only know how to call this “bokko.”
Honestly, we don’t know any other word for it ξ(･ω･)3
In standard Japanese, it’s probably closest to “stick,”
but it still feels a bit different…

#HokkaidoThings
Hokkaido’s famous “Zangi” isn’t just fried chicken ξ(･ω･)3
Chicken, octopus, squid—even lamb—can all be made into zangi ξ(･ω･)3

#SapporoLife
When heading to central Sapporo, people say “I’m going to the city.”
But honestly, no one really knows why it’s called “the city” or what exactly that “city” means…

#HokkaidoThings
People in Hokkaido are actually bad with both heat and cold.
“Since you’re from Hokkaido, you must be good with cold, right?”
The answer is a strong NO! ξ(･ω･)3

In fact, the average indoor temperature in winter
is the highest in all of Japan ξ(･ω･)3

At the Sapporo Snow Festival, if it’s too warm the sculptures melt, and if there’s too much snow they get buried — either way, it’s a bit worrying.

The Sapporo Snow Festival starts today and runs until the 11th! ξ(･ω･)3
Everyone coming to visit, bundle up and come on over—come on, come on! ξ(･ω･)3
If you use the underground walkways, it’s not as cold and you can enjoy it more—give them a try! ξ(･ω･)3

When you’re about to cook pasta but one noodle chose a different life.

#Setsubun
Demons out! Good fortune in!
Snow—enough already!!! ξ(　・Д･)3

※In Japan, on this day people throw roasted soybeans while chanting
“Demons out! Good fortune in!” to wish for good luck.
Fun fact: In Hokkaido, many regions throw peanuts instead of soybeans 🥜

🎉 The first-ever collaboration between
Jingisukan no Jin-kun and Puyo Puyo has been announced!

To celebrate Puyo Day and the opening day of the Sapporo Snow Festival,
the collaboration items will go on sale starting February 4th ✨

Don’t miss these limited-edition collaboration goods!

#SapporoToday
It’s snowing like crazy again!
ξ(　・Д･)3 We really don’t need any more snow!
Everyone, please be careful today and tomorrow too!

Something yucky?
Yucky~
Let’s bury the bad one!

#HakodateThings
I love HASESTO’s yakitori bento 🍱
HASESTO is a well-known local shop in Hakodate.

Fun fact:
Their “yakitori” is actually made with pork, not chicken!
In Hokkaido, using pork for yakitori is surprisingly common.

Have you ever tried it? ξ(･ω･)3

#TodayInSapporo
I said earlier that there wasn’t much snow this year…
Turns out there’s WAY too much now ξ(　・Д･)3

#HokkaidoThings
People in Hokkaido actually eat Hokkaido souvenirs too.
How about in your area? ξ(･ω･)3

#HokkaidoThings
Hearing snowplows while sleeping feels so precious.
Thank you… ξ(´TωT｀)3

#HokkaidoThings
When people spot a car stuck in the snow, a crowd naturally gathers.

The spirit of helping each other kicks in:
“Oh no—what happened?” ξ(･ω･)3

#HokkaidoThings
I love butter rice with soy sauce on top 🫶

At Matsuo Jingisukan in the New Chitose Airport food court,
their “Jingisukan Steak Rice Bowl” even comes with butter on it ξ(･ω･)3

Butter rice is sooo good—let’s gooo! ξ(･ω･)3

#TodayInSapporo
I thought it was a total whiteout,
but I could see a little bit again!
Is everyone okay?
ξ(　・Д･)3

#TodayInSapporo
“Winter trip to Hokkaido!
Let’s rent a car and drive around♪”

Here’s a video that instantly crushes that idea ξ(･ω･)3
If you’re not used to winter driving, I really don’t recommend it.

#HokkaidoThings
Sudden, totally unexpected holes 😱
ξ(　・Д･)3

#HokkaidoThings
On narrow snowy paths, people politely give way—
and end up both sinking into the snow.
Getting buried by kindness 😇
ξ(･ω･)3

#HokkaidoThings
Getting stuck face-to-face with someone on a narrow snowy road,
and both of you go like “uh— uh—” ξ(･ω･)3

#SnowCountryThings

There’s actually a “snow shoveling forecast.”
Did you know that? ξ(･ω･)3
That feeling of despair when it turns red… ξ(･ω･)3

#TodayInSapporo

It wasn’t just a flag being fulfilled—we actually broke a record… sorry 😇
(See the post from January 3)

40 cm of snow in just 12 hours!
This is the highest snowfall record ever for January ❄️

#NanakusaGayu
Did you eat it? ξ(･ω･)3
How about nanakusa rice porridge with lamb broth?
ξ(･ω･)3

Nanakusa-gayu is a traditional Japanese rice porridge eaten on January 7th, made with seven spring herbs.
It’s eaten to wish for good health and to give your stomach a rest after New Year feasts 🌿🍚
