After warming up, we're back out at Ramen Alley for some famous Sapporo miso ramen! Every shop has their own spin, be prepared to wait more than an hour for the popular ones!

Short line for this place - roasted miso ramen, only 6 seats!

Chuuya, that beam overhead...

Susukino ice festival! This is the Ainu culture, the original indigenous folk of northern Japan and Hokkaido!

Chuuuya, do you think freezing in ice would be...?

I'm going to fucking leave you behind if you don't shut up.

Hokkaido's icon, the 'snow fairy,' shima-enaga.

And what place is this, Chuuuya?

An ice cream speakeasy 😏

And how does it work?

Ya see those vials behind me? Each one holds a different (strong) alcohol. Including some exceptionally rare and popular ones...

You finish the top of your milk ice cream, place your spoon like so, and top it with a miniature ladle of liquor. It brings to mind the experience of imbibing in absinthe, poured over a sugar cube - which is also one of our selection.

It's a secret ice cream place, only for adults...
