The reports are filed from Niseko, a ski resort on Japan’s north Island, Hokkaido. These days, the resort is famous for its incredible and seemingly endless powder days.

The Daily Flake is available for viewing on a range of key snow and travel related websites, so it’s easier to find than an Izakaya in Tokyo.
