Vale Bar & Grill’s Brekky Buffet deal
Feb 08, 2010
Your mum used to tell you that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and who am I to argue!
￥1500 will get you this great all-you-can-eat brekky buffet deal down at the Vale Bar & Grill. Bacon, Sausages, Eggs, Hash browns, mushrooms, toast, cereal, pastries fruit etc etc. Wash it all down with their selection of fresh coffees available separately and you’ll be fuelled up and ready to charge the slopes all day.
The brand new VBG is a stylish addition to our local restaurants and definitely worth checking out! If you have an opportunity check out their lunch or dinner as well.
Hmmm…

Just about the only the I can think of wrong with this picture is that I’m behind the camera instead of laying down a turn or three up on these fantastic hills.
You have to be prepared to hike to experience Annupuri’s beautiful north eastern face with its Higashi-one and Jacksons areas, and the north face of Iwaonupuri as well, but the turns you earn with the hike will be amongst the sweetest you’ll ever experience. Hire a qualified and locally experienced guide, read the daily avvy reports at niseko.nadare.info; be properly prepared and ride smart.

Snowboards as Art
Feb 08, 2010
Over at Moiwa’s Kanronomori Hotel you’ll find this gorgeous installation of snowboards displayed as art.
If you haven’t been over that way, Kanronomori is worth a trip. Spend an afternoon sliding Moiwa’s powdery and deserted slopes, then nip down to Kanronomori hotel for an onsen and a good meal, before you take in the live music (nightly from 7.30) Buses run regularly, check with your accommodation service for details.

Outstanding value… Hanayoshi Sushi
Feb 08, 2010
Offering outstanding value and some of the best food in Niseko, Hanayoshi should be on everyone’s list of places to visit while in town.
The amazing seafood salad (Kaisen Sarada) will impress anyone, and it only gets better. Recommendations include the “Nigirizushi” plates, starting at “Yuki” then proceeding thru “Tsuki” & “Hana” up to the chef’s special selection; the grilled Hokke; and the grilled fish with miso (Miso-aji Ginmutsu-yaki?).
It’s pretty hard to go wrong with Hanayoshi, and I take all my O/S guests there for a reasonably-priced, but delicious Japanese meal. Expect to pay between ￥2000 – 4000 per person, plus drinks.
Hanayoshi is located in Niseko town, so you’ll have to organize a ride over there. Your accommodation provider will be able give you details on the best way to get there – but if you make the effort you’ll be glad you did!
