cheeseman 1 Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 I would definitely recommend taking some cheese out there. Of course, not only is it delicious, but also highly nutritional and fun for all. Perhaps cottage cheese is not the best choice. Link to post Share on other sites

stemik 14 Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 not food but the hot chocolates at the Virgin Cafe on Happo-one in Hakuba are very very very good! Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Ah yes stemik is that the really really thick hot stuff - almost like a chocolate sauce. I had one of those when I was there. Very very sweet it was. Link to post Share on other sites

Slippery Jim 65 Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Minestrone & garlic toast at the Ace Hill cafeteria in Niseko Hirafu. The turkey chile at Deer Valley ain't bad either, and the chile at the Roundhouse in Whistler is pretty good (does anyone see a pattern here?). Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Love chilli but it's something that more often than not disappoints big time in Japan. Link to post Share on other sites

grungy-gonads 54 Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Thick cut fried spuds with their little jackets still on with tomato sauce and mayonnaise. Even better if they are garlic taste. Link to post Share on other sites
rach 1 Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Oh yes I like those too. Usually try to avoid only breaking down occassionally. Link to post Share on other sites
Sciclone 2 Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 At Takamagahara, the pizza in the hotel across the road from the lifts and carpark is good. The curries and stuff at the cafe infront of the lift is also quite satiating Ichinose - Nepalese Curry/Tandoori Furano - Pizza at the top of the high-speed ropeway. Otherwise Katsu curry at the bottom of Kitanomine zone isn't bad. and beer... Link to post Share on other sites

Two monster egg and fish sandwiches (made with real bread, not hotel bread) on the bus on the way to the hill. Keeps you going from first lift until 2 or 3pm. The sweet lunchtime void is perfect for high-speed straightlining runs. If I do start to fade, it's takoyaki for me. Link to post Share on other sites
