Rudy Maxa's World

Hokkaido

Season 4, Episode 2 of 6

The northernmost Japanese island of Hokkaido is the home of the international food favorite, ramen. Known as Japan's "soul food," ramen is revered in Hokkaido, where it enjoys a long history. Host Rudy Maxa and Washington, D.C. chef Daisuke Utagawa explore the island that's a world-class skiing venue-Sapporo, Hokkaido's capital, which hosted the Winter Olympics in 1972. Along the way, they track down the multi-generational families that produce the ingredients of ramen and visit the island's stunning lakes; one of the island's premier ski resorts, as well as a whiskey distillery that helps makes Japan's award-winning spirits.
