Mr Han Fook Kwang Editor at Large, shared on sake:

It is quite nice drink and I tried it at Nada Sake district near Kobe.
At this district, there are lots of sake brewery and some offer free tasting of their sake.

Review by the couple:

Thanks to Dimitri_can for the great effort despite my last minute request for his help. The trip went smoothly as planned with no time wasted. Every minute is used wisely. haha

Despite only exactly 6 days to cover Hokkaido, using JR Pass with no self drive, we managed to cover Asahikawa, Hakodate, Otaru and Sapporo just by following Dimitri's itinerary.

For those who don't drive, I recommend taking JR Train rather than buses as it save time but a bit more expensive.

With June Lavender season approaching, it is good to go 7 days so that the extra day allows you to travel to Furano and Biel.

Once again, thanks Dimitri_can for your effort
