Tokachi Tsukada 2026 Early Summer Recommendations: Tokachi Asparagus. The "Deep-Fried Whole Asparagus" (473 yen/stick) and "Charcoal-Grilled Pork-Wrapped Asparagus" (495 yen/stick) use magnificent Tokachi asparagus, which can only be enjoyed for a short period until early July. These dishes allow you to directly savor the seasonal sweetness and freshness, with sales planned until around early July. Deep-Fried Whole Asparagus, Charcoal-Grilled Pork-Wrapped Asparagus. Hokkaido Whelk and Tokachi Mushroom Ajillo (1,023 yen). This ajillo contains Hokkaido whelk and Tokachi mushrooms. It's a delightful dish featuring a contrast in textures between the rich-flavored, chunky whelk and the juicy, thick Tokachi mushrooms that have absorbed the whelk's umami. Hokkaido Nemuro Herring Carpaccio (1,078 yen). Seasonal Nemuro herring is attractive for its firm flesh and mild-flavored fat. We've prepared it as a refreshing carpaccio with plenty of herbs. A squeeze of lemon enhances its refreshing taste. Hokkaido Nemuro Herring Carpaccio. Stone-Grilled Jidori Chicken Fried Rice (1,078 yen). This stone-grilled fried rice uses thigh meat from Tokachi Tsukada's signature Shintoku Jidori chicken. The charcoal-grilled chicken is appealing for its chewy texture and refreshing flavor.
