About Bibai Yakitori
Bibai Yakitori (美唄やきとり, Bibai yakitori) is a flavorful dish that originates from Bibai City, located halfway between Sapporo and Asahikawa.
The western part of Bibai features lowlands that are part of the Ishikari Plains, known as one of Hokkaido’s major grain-producing regions. On the other hand, the eastern area is a mountainous region that connects to the Yubari Mountain Range.
