Kitami City has the largest number of yakiniku restaurants per 100,000 people in Hokkaido.

This tour will allow participants to learn about the roots that led to today’s Kitami yakiniku, and to understand the importance of life and how the yakiniku we eat in our daily lives is distributed and brought to our tables. The participants will also have the opportunity to try their hand at making a fire using a variety of tools, something that is rarely done in Kitami Yakiniku, which is also eaten over a charcoal fire or a seven-wheeled stove. In Kitami City, there is a culture of eating unseasoned meat with cured sauce made with plenty of vegetables and fruits.
