JAPAN TRAVEL: Steak+Wine Hige Bar in Hakodate
The Motomachi District of Hakodate is known for its historical, Western-style architectural marvels along its streets. However, not a lot of people know that there are more things to see in this part of Hakodate, such as fancy restaurants.
Nestled in Motomachi, Steak+Wine Hige Bar is your go-to place for steaks and wine. This quaint little modern bar specializes in full course meals.
The restaurant’s bar area is located on the ground floor, with its array of alcoholic drinks neatly displayed on the counter. Prized wines are also on display on the wall, available for consumption.
Their windows are also worth noticing as it is accentuated with stained glass design. This is because the location of the restaurant was formerly a church.
