みなさん、一緒にマーケットを盛り上げましょう！！

クリストフと彼のオーナーは、ジンジャエールを飲みながら、のんびりとした金曜の午後をバルコニーで過ごしていました。東京に帰る前にまた会えるといいけど。好奇心おう盛なクリストフ。ちょっとだけ臆病なところもあるけど、とってもフレンドリーだから、ニセコのみんなにかわいがられるでしょうね！

The fundamental principle of Royce’ has been, and always will be, to painstakingly source for high quality ingredients.  This is a vision that J-Sekka shares, to source and provide high quality, local ingredients.

We are now featuring a ROYCE’ chocolate plate at Sekka Dining & Maki Lounge, where you can sample a range of their delicious chocolates.  For just ¥700 you can try Caramel, Honey & Coffee Prafeuille, which are a thin chocolate disc containing a molten liquid centre; Caramel Milk & Creamy White button; Hazelnut & Cacao nib cookie, cacao nibs being the roasted & shelled cocoa beans, giving the cookie a nice crunch; Kokutoh black sugar molasses chocolate and Gianduja which is a sweeter, creamy chocolate containing hazelnut paste, coated macadamias.

We discovered some interesting new Hokkaido milk products this Autumn at the annual Kanko Bussan Hokkaido Food Fair.  Of course a sampling was in order before these new items were featured in the deli.

Of course, they were all good …  So you can now see these delightful little Hokkaido Milk chocolates & ROYCE hot chocolate for sale in the deli.

So refreshing that you can now get some genuine jalapeño chili’s grown at Niseko Green Farm during the Summer & Autumn months.  Never fear, if you aren’t lucky enough to be here during that time you can still pick up jars of Dennis the Dutchman’s Jalapeño Pickles at Sekka Deli.  The Jalapeño chili’s are simply sliced and pickled in a vinegar / water / salt mixture allowing the true flavor, & mild heat, of the chili to shine.  A medium sized jar will set you back only ¥850 and make a great addition to pizzas, tossed through salads or to spice up your favorite sandwich.

Before being added to sauteed onions & garlic, that have been cooked over a long heat until translucent.  Then the cauliflower is added along with Hokkaido Takahashi Bokujyo farm fresh milk and simmered until the cauliflower is tender.  Blended and seasoned with salt & pepper the creamy soup was served topped with seared Hokkaido diver scallops & local salmon roe.

It was a pleasure meeting Mike in Niseko, and getting to taste all of his wines while having him there to answer any questions and discuss with us flavor profiles of the wine.  So refreshing to see someone so passionate about what they are doing and really pushing the new world wine industry to new levels.  We hope to see you, & the family, back in Niseko soon !!

The following week we had a very different wine tasting event in Maki Lounge.  All Japanese, including some Hokkaido, wines.  Each bottle looks like a showpiece, but unfortunately the product just isn’t there yet …  especially for the price they have to charge for them.  I found 1 fortified wine I liked, and a red from Nagano down south that was also quite passable.

Terra Vin wines are available throughout the J-Sekka building, including Maki Lounge, this Winter season.  As for the Japanese …. well, let’s just say Japanese Whiskey, Draft beer, rice wine as well as plum wine will be available in Maki Lounge this year.  We will let them have a little more practice with the wine

SHIFT is an online art community based in Sapporo, that have their finger firmly on the pulse of what’s cool & the up-and-coming i Japan and beyond.  J-Sekka was thrilled to meet the team, and it’s an exciting prospect to think of what creative & artistic visions may come by & be created in the future.

They did a lovely little feature on J-Sekka after their stay in the Suites.  Check it out!

After a little break to prepare for the season, Sekka Deli has swung open it’s doors again today.  We are open from 8 am, serving up delicious fresh-baked hot muffins, bacon & egg rolls, a bowl of hot porridge with brown sugar and other daily breakfast options.

Lunch will be served from 11 am, this week including some old favorites like Sekka’s Chilli with potatoes and sour cream, Roast Lamb Sandwich, Salmon Burger, Hokkaido Venison Spaghetti Bolognese and Niseko Green Farm Butternut Pumpkin Soup with Country Style Bread.

The menu will still be changing regularly before comfortably settling in around mid-December for the winter.  Don’t miss this chance to enjoy some of your favorite Summer items, and the chance to sample some of the upcoming Winter menu dishes before the crowds start arriving.
