Adverbs of degree

Yep I've got them all served up in this one And first i'm taking you straight to the sapporo central wholesale market just a 20 minute drive from sapporo station Although this northern japan street food paradise took a bit of a hit after the c word that shall no longer be mentioned It still has them local seafood hitters So it looks like in this restaurant here you can just choose the crabs and eat it inside of the restaurant this place is awesome Number one kaisendon from kitanogurumete Okay, so i'm gonna take you to one of the freshest kaisendon places in all of hokkaido But we gotta go through this market first.

Let me take you inside You can see all this crab dried fish Oh, they have these huge snow crab legs Oh boy.

Oh boy This spot is a seafood specialty shop where they offer freshly caught seafood directly from various ports all throughout hokkaido So, you know you're getting that fresh fresh It's even a popular spot for japanese travelers since they offer seafood delivery services hidden behind this souvenir shop They serve the freshest seafood bowls at this spot It's a giant space so it's perfect when you're traveling with a big group of people.

Okay, check this out Look at this kaisen rice bowl.

This is looking Beautiful this kaisendon sashimi rice bowl.

I ordered basically has everything you can think of It's got uni sea urchin ikura salmon roll abalone crab torigai shellfish three giant pieces of salmon Fatty tuna chutoro tuna white fish three slices of scallops squid octopus amaebi shrimp and botan shrimp Everything I don't even know where to start but this place is just so amazing.

There's so much fresh seafood This is nothing but hokkaido love.

This is the soy sauce drip it in like that What I actually like to do is just mix it all up like this And I just like to drip it all over the kaisendon so I don't have to mess with it later on like this Oh, yeah Get it nice and coated with that luscious shoyu So the first thing we are gonna have is look at this this fatty tuna big Piece of tuna take a little bite Holy mother of sushi that is so fresh that literally just melted in my mouth That is so buttery soft you can just taste all the oils coming from that that was amazing That is the way to start this.

You can try some of this chutoro as well here You know, what's also nice is that that shoyu has I wouldn't say strong sweetness But it does have kind of a unique sweetness to it.

And then let's have some of this ikura Maybe I can mix the uni and the ikura all at the same time If you guys don't know ikura is salmon roe and then the uni is sea urchin get all in one bite This is pure joy, it's so fresh here.

Let's take another bite Oh, we got these three pieces of salmon just sitting all by themselves Let's grab some of that just kind of make a little sushi roll like this.

Let's get this sushi roll going right here Oh That is so fresh salmon is so creamy look at that guy he's like eat me I just ripped off his head One thing about this place and i've been to a lot of kaisendon places is that sometimes you order it They'll get like very thinly sliced pieces.

Look at this, man That's like a girthy piece of salmon and it's such a great value.

It's three thousand yen So I think that's probably around twenty three twenty four dollars, maybe even less I also love the squid which was glorious it had that perfect melty texture combined with a fresh complementary sweetness And the abalone had an exquisite mixture of soft and crunchy textures.

Even the rice is good here I am so satisfied with this meal Oh Look at this A little hidden alley.

Let's go inside Number two ramen from tokuichi put your fork down for this one as this Unassuming ramen shop is tucked away in this tiny hidden alleyway open just a year ago It's no joke and definitely a must a must as it's quickly gained in popularity among the locals Consistently drawing lines for its hearty bowls of pure love So this spot is hokkaido's chicken soup for the soul and i'm telling you you can't go wrong here.

Let me show you supervised by a michelin french restaurant chef and run by a former italian cuisine chef their ramen is unlike any i've ever had before I got their chicken python ramen, which is a creamy milky white broth chicken soup topped with a rosemary flavored foam Wood-fire oil chopped scallions two giant baked shirako cod milk and roasted lily roots Didn't I say it's one of a kind?

You can see the foamy loveliness right on top.

I have a little bit of these bubbles Has like a hint of rosemary rosemary bubbles, it's more satisfying than taking a bubble bath.

Oh Oh That is a rich rich thick soup there is just so much flavor in here mild sweetness to it But you can definitely taste like the chicken broth.

It's so thick It's almost like eating gravy to have some of this shirako looks like it's been grilled on the outside or just flame broiled Yes Has that like crispy crunchiness outside and then that creamy creamy center filling this will have me coming back for more I've never actually had a shirako as a topping and they cooked it perfectly.

Let's try the noodles These are kind of thicker side thick round noodles Oh My goodness, oh that's amazing all of the thick Python soup just clings to the noodles like it doesn't want to fall off the noodle building and just like i'm gonna stick with you No matter what i'm gonna be here for the rest of my life.

Then you take a bite and it just goes down So smoothly the noodles are cooked perfectly freaking delicious.

This is what it's all about man I love hokkaido what I love about this too is like so thick but it's not even oily has a slight sweetness It's kind of like rich but has an elegance to it They also have some green onions here to give it kind of that refreshingness perfect combination So one thing that they also do we can do is you can actually get a side of rice And you can add this to your soup This way of eating is called shimei in japanese kind of like porridge at the end Ensuring that not a drop is wasted of this creamy.

Okay, so we are doing some street food action right here We got these cream karaokes.

So that's crab just look how crispy this looks Wow, it's just coming off of my fingers.

Oh, not a lot of oil Whoa That is so crispy the first thing you taste is that creaminess you get that textured crunchiness like no other You can hear this crispiness It even sounds like someone's shoveling snow I just love this like panko that they use that just makes it so crunchy like for me I love having two different textures and she even uses hokkaido milk.

She does it all by hand That's why it's so so creamy.

This is worth traveling all the way to hokkaido, too Number four all you can eat crab at ebikani gassen So at this spot we're getting our all you can eat crab on Did someone say all you can eat?

Let's hokkaido Oh You know You've got to throw down on some crab if you're in this area and no better than this place as it's only a three minute walk from the susukino subway station The all you can eat crab course I ordered came with the snow crab zuwai hairy crab keikani and of course the king crab Taraba along with three appetizers three pieces of sushi assorted tempura and egg pudding Which of course are all you can eat as well.

This is amazing We have all of this crab.

Just soak up all that energy Mmm Wow That is so fresh all of the juices from the crab legs sauce itself has a delicious sweetness to it Oh, this is beautiful.

It's a four finger claw I'll make me three fingers.

Wow, look at all of this crab meat i'm pulling out it's all in my hand  What's nice about this crab, too You don't even need to put like any sauce on it.

It has like a natural sweetness to it without it It's amazing just unto itself So right now what i'm gonna do is i'm just going to work on opening up my crab Then we're gonna have like a huge plate of crab.

Just give me one second So here's what i've done.

This is probably not the most conventional way to do it I've got a whole lot crab meat right here And then what I do is I take some of their special sauce and I just kind of throw it all on here boom boom boom Then we just have our way with the meat, you know Have you ever had your way with the meat?

My friend ryan likes to have a way with the meat There we go Oh, this is so Fresh the meat is so tender.

It's so good This is some of the best crab i've ever had and the fact is it's all you can eat.

They have this full leg right here This is literally undeniable if you come to hokkaido, you've got to try this all you can eat crab I'm, so happy we're doing this and number five spicy miso ramen from teshiokawa So this spot is hidden away behind me in this little japanese drinking alley and they have this awesome Garlic ramen that's local here to hokkaido.

Let me show you so i've made my way to this 150 year old seppodo shopping street anuki koji, which has a strong local vibe and this ramen shop I'm taking you now is inside of this tiny food hall buried a couple of doors from the street Produced by two brothers One is sushi chef and the other a chinese cuisine chef who brilliantly decided to offer with their mouth-watering ramen a bowl of seafood Which is quite rare in japan And today i'm going all in on their local horomon intestine ramen, which is a delicacy in northern hokkaido How so look at this ramen you got the kara miso so it's the spicy version It has bamboo shoots mizuna a slice of chashu tons of horomon intestine meat and their local gyoja garlic Ah, that is thick it has like a really deep umami and kind of like a nice sweetness to it The soup itself is made with a chicken bone pork bone and vegetable.

It's full of umami It has that spicy kick to it.

But for me, it's not so spicy because you know I've got my hot sauce and that's super spicy.

Maybe it will give you a little bit of sweat.

You just taste some of these noodles I like how the noodles itself they're kind of on the harder side, which I prefer I don't really like soft soggy noodles kind of like crimped.

Oh, look at this big piece This is amazing the intestines just adds like a beautiful texture to it look at these little pieces right here You usually don't find this in ramen, but you can get it, which is pretty cool It's like pretty unique and then just right here.

This is the gyoja garlic It's like a local delicacy here and it's pickled in soy sauce It's kind of like a green onion with a strong nira The garlic kind of gives it like this unique freshness.

Look at this thick piece of chashu Oh that chashu was just fabulous they use nikoma buta marinated for a long time and it's grilled Oh, and I should say that I got the sashimi.

You can also get yutoro Which is kind of like a raw minced beef and then they also have grilled pork You can try all the different kinds, but I got the sashimi today.

Oh, look at the steam coming from there Oh I sweated out so much and what's awesome is that it doesn't even break the bag.
