With Taro Tamai, Gerry Lopez, and the Gentem Family!
Cold snow, warm hearts.

last night we went to the main town to check it out. i couldn’t believe how many foreigners are in niseko. more foreigners than japanese. i felt like i was in america or something.

we went to visit Kei-san’s new hawaiian pizza take out shop.

Big Wave Tomato in a popular pizza in hawaii, now it is a popular pizza in niseko. Kei-san brought it here and now you can enjoy the aloha here in hokkaido.

pretty cool stand and custom handmade pizza done in 8 minutes. check it out at: 倶知安町山田191-39
(191-39 Yamada Kucchan cho).

so stoked to see local surfers in Hokkaido bringing some aloha here. made me feel like i was back home. thank you Kei-san for the awesome pizza. after this, we bought some beer and headed to Osamu-san’s house for our pizza party!

OMG, the fried green tomatoes were awesome! so good!

and yes, the pizza was amazing. made with aloha.

catch a lift to the top of the mountain, snowboard in the stars, and land right in your hotel lobby. what an awesome place!

then for last night’s part 2, we all went to Dragon Restaurant and drank with a Sommelier. wine with good food all night. we finally put on the brakes at almost midnight as everybody was feeling pretty good. another story in a story so will load it up tomorrow.
today some deep back country crazy powder snowboarding. body tired and done. big party tonight again at Dragon. more food, more wine, and more laughs. back on the road tomorrow morning. have a wonderful night!

This is crazy!
