"Eating Japanese Heritage?!"
The Energy Source for Workers: "TANTETSUKO Meals"

Introducing the "Tantetsuko Meal" recommended by Ms. Mami Uemura, a Hokkaido Assembly Member who loves Hokkaido and Sorachi, and hails from Akabira City! The "Tantetsuko Meal" is available for breakfast and lunch at the BAR & GRILL Splish in SAPPORO STREAM HOTEL.


Since the Meiji era, Japan's rapid modernization was supported by Hokkaido's coal, steel, ports, and the railway network that connected them. The food culture that became the source of nutrition for the workers, who were the protagonists of these stories called "Tantetsuko," involving coal ("Tan"), steel and railways ("Tetsu"), and ports ("Ko"), has created unique dishes in each region and continues to breathe life into the lives of people today. We introduce the "Tantetsuko Meal," still loved by the people of Hokkaido.

Akabira Gan Gan Nabe

At its peak, as many as 23 coal mines operated in Akabira City. At that time, a popular meal in the homes of coal miners was Horumon-nabe, a hot pot of pork hormone, tofu, and vegetables simmered in a miso-based soup over a red-hot coal stove. The coal stove was fired up, the food was stewed, the people ate with gusto, talked with gusto, and worked with gusto! It is a "tasty coal mining heritage. In Akabira City, restaurants still serve Gan Gan Nabe with their own ideas. Please try and compare the unique "Gan Gan Nabe".
