From September 1 to October 31, 2022, “Eating Butter Apero” will be held, where visitors can taste butter made in Tomamu and Hokkaido wine in a vast farm area.
Eating Butter made with Tomamu milk produced by Farm Hoshino, a project that engages in agricultural production activities within the resort, and Hokkaido wine that goes well with it will be served.
This event will feature 10 different flavors of edible butter. The flavors have been developed so that visitors can enjoy the taste of the ingredients themselves while savoring the flavor of the butter. The butter made with Farm Hoshino’s Tomamu milk is paired with ingredients unique to Hokkaido, such as crab, salmon, and haskap, as well as autumnal ingredients such as pumpkin and chestnuts.
Crab and Kelp” has a mild taste of unraveled crab meat with rich crab miso and the saltiness of kelp, which is balanced by the butter. In the “Haskap and Milk Jam,” the butter harmonizes the sourness of the fruit with the sweetness of the milk jam made with Tomamu milk.
＜Ingredients for Eating Butter＞
・Crab and kelp
・Chestnut and maple syrup
・Salmon and Yuzu
・Sweet potato
・Haskap and milk jam
・Apple
・Adzuki beans
・pumpkin
・Pistachio and white chocolate

Hokkaido wine is the perfect accompaniment to eating butter. The protein and fat content of dairy products mellows the wine’s flavor and softens its astringency and acidity. Also, since we offer 10 types of wine, you can enjoy a total of 100 different combinations when paired with the 10 types of eating butter. The staff will recommend the best combination so you can find the one you like best.
The vast farm area of approximately 100 hectares offers the idyllic scenery unique to Hokkaido. Cows, goats, sheep, and other animals live peacefully under white birches whose leaves turn yellow. Butter to eat is best enjoyed at the chairs and tables set up in the farm area. You can enjoy your apero to your heart’s content while watching the sunset and the sky as it dips into the mountains in the distance.

Hoshinoya Tokyo, a Japanese-style inn located in Otemachi, Tokyo, will again this year host the “New Year Kabuki Stay” program, a two-day and one-night stay from January 5 to 26, 2024.
For people living in Edo, one of their New Year’s pleasures was to watch Kabuki, and it was a chic way to spend the New Year. Theatrical teahouses supported this way of enjoying Kabuki. In addition to arranging tickets to the theater, the teahouses delighted patrons by providing a complete range of services, including plot notes, tea, sweets, makunouchi box lunches, and snacks and drinks (*1). Hoshinoya Tokyo offers a stay to celebrate the New Year with hospitality similar to the theatrical teahouses of the time.
