Eating Bear Burger in Hakodate;Hokkaido, Japan
YES! BEARS DO APPEAR IN THE HAKODATE AREA. AND I'M EATING BEAR BURGER RIGHT NOW. Bear attacks are increasingly frequent in Northern Japan. On 19 October 2025 Brown Bears appeared in the Hakodate area. The municipality has been recruiting hunters to cull the bears but few want to face a 300 kg angry animal which has lost its fear of humans and road traffic. Now, as the snow storm rages on, I am eating Bear burger in Japanese curry at a restaurant that specializes in bear meat. The burger comes with lots of vegetables: carrot, potato, eggplant, broccoli, capsicum. Washed down with a very good bottle of Sapporo Beer.
