<\/p>\nWe are very excited to announce that the Christmas Fair has started at Dai-ichi Takimotokan!<\/p>\n
At the buffet, we overheard customers in line for the Christmas menu saying how delighted they were to have a first taste of the holiday season.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Our chef\u2019s special recommendation is the Hokkaido Cream Stew. It uses plenty of Noboribetsu milk from Hokkaido-raised cows, and lots of local, seasonal vegetables.<\/p>\n
We also think the Steamed Shrimp in Cream Sauce and Fluffy Egg Whites is particularly nice. The steamed egg whites have a gentle texture that blends well with the shrimp and cream sauce. It is rarely tasted at home, so we recommend you sample it at this very special time of year.<\/p>\n
Of course, we also have an extensive selection of cakes!<\/p>\n

To add to the festive feeling, we also offer glasses of sparkling wine, Yellowglen Vintage Pinot Noir Chardonnay, part of their Botanics series, along with Mio, a sparkling sake. Both are available only for a limited time, so please don\u2019t miss this chance<\/a>!<\/p>\n During the Christmas Fair, there is also fun to be had in our gift shop, Yunomachi.<\/p>\n This adorable postcard is a gift to all customers who purchase something there. The Santa Takimaru version is for Christmas, and Takimaru on a spinning top will make a lovely New Year\u2019s card. You can choose whichever version you like. Both are really cute, so good luck trying to decide!<\/p>\n The Christmas Fair runs from November 25 until Christmas Day, December 25.<\/p>\n Why don\u2019t you make Christmas extra special this year and celebrate with a relaxing visit to our onsen, delicious food and sake, and a sweet little postcard? We hope to see you soon!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We are very excited to announce that the Christmas Fair has started at Dai-ichi Takimotokan!
