Sapporo Downtown again

Again we decided to spend the evening exploring Sapporo again but as we'd done most of the good places the night before we were retreading our steps again.

Dinner was spent at the food fair. This dessert was lush. It's kakigori or shaved ice with fruit sauce. A great healthy alternative to ice cream just totally impractical to make as the ice has to be at a stupid temperature and the shaving is done on some hand cranking machine.

Back for another walk down Tanukikoji

Not the Japanese equivalent of the Happy Eater food chain I suspect.

This restaurant does not look out of place at all.

The pachinko parlours were LOUD!! and as I never recreated the streak I got in Beppu I didn't really play them all that much.

Liking this poster. It was advertising a small animation exhibition of animated shorts that I would have liked to have seen, but it was closed this time of night.

Not something you'd see in London :)

and this would likely be covered up too!

Cute kiddy bugs!

Lovely looking seafood.

Not sure if this was intentional for Halloween or just coincidence but this looks cool!

Oh dear! A little bit of Ireland, or is it London, in Sapporo.

We spent the rest of the night at Norbessa playing the games again.
I'd managed to miss this billboard with some cool, and some not so cool, manga artwork at the back of the games floor.

Heh Heh!! She's actually a character in one of the coin shooting games.

A selection of drinks in the local 24 hour supermarket. Over the course of the holiday I think I'd made my way through all of these...except the Coca Cola of course!

One of the more neon-lit crossings in Sapporo.
