Hokkai at Home: Hotate Bacon

Introduction

Hokkai at Home with Mariko (42) from The Hague: "A year ago I moved from Japan to the Netherlands for work. From the first moment I felt at home here, but it was difficult to get used to the typical Dutch food. Then my colleagues surprised me with an authentic Japanese dinner, I was incredibly happy, what a pleasure to enjoy real Japanese food in the Netherlands! My colleagues bought their fish at Hokkai Suisan, wherefrom that moment I order the tastiest fish and sashimi every month. "
