Furano Cheese Factory （富良野チーズ工房）| Furano

Furano Cheese Factory （富良野チーズ工房） is famous for delicious cheese, of course, but I also recommend ice cream made from fresh milk, and pizza with their cheese!

Look at this comfortable atmosphere! The facility is sounded with the nature!

We just relaxed for a while, taking pictures and walking around this compound!

Let's enter the building!
Visitors can learn how to make cheese on the 1st floor.

As we looked at the cheese-making process, we got very hungry suddenly, and dashed to the second floor! Hahaha!

Before shopping, we fully enjoyed tasting their cheese!

Three kinds of cheese were served; "Wine Cheddar" (made of Furano wine and fresh milk),  very milky " Maison de Pierre",  and .............

"Sepia" made of fresh milk and squid ink. Personally "Sepia" is my favorite, tasting very Hokkaido!

Don't forget to take pictures with this cow!

Would you like to eat pizza with Furano cheese?
If so, I recommend a pizza restaurant next to Furano Cheese Factory.

They mainly use local ingredients and

baked pizzas in the stone oven! Yummy x 2!!

Actually Furano Cheese Factory reminds a lot of local people of their gelato!

There's a long line in front of the ice cream parlor all the time!

Which should I eat today??

They serve several kinds of flavors, all of which are made of local ingredients.

As I wanted to eat three flavors, but they don't serve triples, I ordered a double and a single gelato! Hahaha!
These are cheese and asparagus! Yummy x 2! You cannot miss cheese flavor because this parlar is in the"cheese" factory. I also recommend vegetable gelato such as corn, pumpkin, and asparagus because Furano produces delicious vegetables!!

"White" tastes very milk! I should have ordered Furano melon flavor, too? Hahaha!

How do you like pumpkin ice milk?

I also recommend grape ice milk （ふらのぶどう果汁）, made of local milk and local grape.

We fully enjoyed this facility!

Welcow Ice from Nakashibetsu （Welcow アイス from なかしべつ）| Ice Cream & Parfait Shop | Kitahiroshima

There are a lot of recommendable ice cream shops in and around Sapporo and "Welcow Ice from Nakashibetsu" - located in Kitahiroshima, 15 mins away from Sapporo -  is one of them.

They use milk produced in Nakashibetsu, which is very famous milk production site located in the eastern part of Hokkaido. You can also buy Nakashibetsu milk here.

This is the facade↓ Cute, isn't it? It is packed with a lot of ice cream lovers all the time!
Let's enter it!

I love this atmosphere!!!

The items on the table are also lovely!!

They serve monthly soft ice cream, and the ones in August are milk and Mocha coffee flavor.

I ordered both of them!!!→→→Mocha(above)&Milk(below)
Well, well, well................... The Mocha is I guess the BEST among all Mocha ice cream in Sapporo area!  This is a monthly special in August and you should be in a hurry to try it!!!

As for parfait, the most popular one here is berry parfait↓ and I recommend to put cream cheese on the top.

Like soft ice cream, they serve monthly parfait such as Mocha parfait (Mocha ice cream with coffee jelly, orange and chocolate sauce), Yogurt kiwi fruit parfait, and Cherry parfait.

I ordered a cherry one↓　They use cherries produced in Jyozankei, which is the southern part of Sapporo and famous for hot spring.

Yummy x 2!!! It's a perfect combination of sweet cherries and milky ice cream. Really delicious!! Do you want to try it, too? Please!! Hahaha!!!

How about kiwi sorbet and pear sorbet with milk ice cream? Yummy x 2?

This is my favorite ice cream shop and whenever I come to the Mitsui Outlet Park, I drop by this shop! It takes only a few mins from the shopping mall.

Coffee Shop Rapport （コーヒーショップ ら・ぽーと）| Tancho Kushiro Airport

I've arrived at the Tancho Kushiro Airport （たんちょう釧路空港）, located in the eastern part of Hokkaido↓

As I got hungry as usual, I dropped by "Coffee Shop Rapport （コーヒーショップ　ら・ぽーと）". It looks like a usual airport cafe, but I've found a special menu!!

Have you notice why I've decided to stay here?

I didn't know I can drink rich and delicious milk produced by Moritaka Farm （森高牧場） in Akkeshi （厚岸）  here in this cafe!! Wow!! Wow!! Wow!!
Its milk fat content is more than 4.0%, and it tastes very tasty! Furthermore, it is available only in the eastern part of Hokkaido! How lucky I am to find this cafe!!

I ordered soft ice cream made of the special milk and sugar only! Yummy x 2!!

I'll be back to Sapporo!

PRATIVO（プラティーヴォ）| Vegetable and Dessert Buffet | Niseko

Niseko （ニセコ） is famous for its powdery snow, fresh vegetables and milk. If you'd like to enjoy all of them at the same time, why don't you visit "PRATIVO（プラティーヴォ）", a local vegetable and dessert (dairy) buffet restaurant near Hilton Niseko Village （ヒルトンニセコビレッジ）?

It takes around 15 minutes on foot, or 5 minutes by shuttle bus from Hilton Niseko Village Hotel to the restaurant.

Look at the snow world. How beautiful it is!

Well, well, well, let's enter "PRATIVO（プラティーヴォ）"!

From the huge windows,

we can enjoy the wonderful nature!
(We should come back here in the summer time!!)

Main dishes are chosen among the four↓

and I ordered the shrimp tart （海老のタルト）.

Actually it is smaller than what I expected.... Hahaha!

It comes with bread↓

Are you ready?
I'll show you the wonderful vegetable buffet!

All of them are local products, which taste very dense and yummy!

Don't forget the dessert corner!

What makes different from other buffet restaurants is we can eat desserts made at "Milk Kobo （ミルク工房→click here!）", a famous dairy dessert shop, in this restaurant! How lucky we are!!

Voila!
This is custard pudding （特製プリン） made at the famous dairy shop! This is included in the buffet! Of course, I ate it a lot! How creamy it is!!

This is milk rice cake （ミルク餅）, which tastes unique..... Hahaha!

Look at the sponge cake （お乳かすていら） made of fresh milk! It is supper delicious! Am I in the heaven to be able to eat such yummy yummy desserts without going to Milk Kobo???

You must be surprised at the drink selections. Guess what?
Yogurt drink made by Takahashi Farm （高橋農場）, which provides fresh milk for Milk Kobo, is also included at the buffet! Wow! Wow! Wow!

The location is perfect!
The vegetables are perfect!
The desserts are perfect!

We really enjoyed the restaurant!
