I'm joined by Tatsuya, a Sapporo local, to talk about what summer in the city is actually like. We get into biergarten (ビアガーデン — large-scale outdoor beer events that run through July and August), Hokkaido specialties like jingisukan (ジンギスカン — a Hokkaido-style grilled lamb dish) and zangi, regional beer brands, and the best day trips if you want to see Hokkaido beyond the city. If you've ever thought about visiting in winter, this episode might just change your mind.
Tatsuya also teaches Japanese online. If you're looking for a teacher, check out his trial lesson and Instagram in the links below!
