Here was my lunch at the Hakodate Beer Hall Restaurant in the tourist dock area. It is ikura donburi. Donburi refers to any number of things sprinkled over rice - ikura is the orange salmon eggs. Hokkaido is famous in general for seafood. Hakodate is famous in particular for ikura and ika (squid). I just had to sample the ikura while I was there. The waitress bought me this big vat of fish eggs and I got to scoop as many scoops as I wanted myself on top of my rice (they charged per scoop of ikura). This bowl represents two scoops! I could have gone for more, but I didn't want to seem like a glutton. I also had the two beers seen here. The red one is the brewery's famous "red brick beer" and the lighter pilsner is a secret recepie from the Meiji era. The Meiji beer was better.
