―Why did you invent this recipe?
“I wanted to create a Hokkaido-like appearance that would catch the eye of foreign customers, so I combined potatoes, salmon roe, and colorful Hokkaido vegetables.
The ham is marinated in a special broth for three days, cooked at low temperature, and finally lightly smoked.
The ≪Yume no Daichi≫ shoulder loin used in the ham is tender and has a robust aroma.
While retaining the juicy aroma of that pork, we devised a way to create a two-step enjoyment by adding a smoked aroma only on the surface. ”

Pork loin is grilled over charcoal, a characteristic of Japanese cuisine that goes well with it, and seasoned with teriyaki sauce.

―What is your message to overseas visitors?

We hope you will come to Hokkaido to experience 〈Hokkaido-ness〉.”

INGREDIENTS-SERVES 4

SPECIAL BROTH FOR HAM

  • Cooking sake
  • 3% salt
  • sugar
  • pepper
  • Garlic slices
  • ginger
  • Green onion
  • celery

GALETTE DOUGH

  • 2 potatoes
  • 100 cc milk
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 tablespoon rice oil

PROCEDURE

  • Put the pork shoulder loin and the ingredients for the special soup stock in a double plastic bag, close the bag so that the air can escape, and refrigerate for 3 days. Put it in an airtight bag and heat it at 60° for 2 hours at low temperature.
  • When the pork is cool, smoke it with cherry chips.
    (*Put the smoking chips, net, and ham on a heavy pan and heat with the lid on.)
  • Shred and grate each of the two potatoes, then mix all the dough ingredients, spread the batter thinly on a greased pan and cook over low heat.
  • Roll the ham in the baked dough, place on a plate, and top with the marinated vegetables.
    (Do not marinate green vegetables because they lose their color.)
  • Finally, top with salmon roe and green vegetables.
    The ham and salmon roe have a salty taste, so it is just the right amount of saltiness as it is, but you can serve it with pepper or chili pepper to taste.
