Kitchen Farm Yard | Farm Restaurant | Blueberry-Picking | Yuni

Yuni, 30 mins away from Sapporo, is an agricultural town and has a lot of delicious restaurants using their local products.
Today I'll show you "Kitchen Farm Yard", one of my favorite farm restaurants in the town. Let's go through a green arch or

a flower arch!

You will find a popular farm restaurant in front of you!

There's nothing but vegetable and fruit fields around the restaurant. I love this location♪

Let's go upstairs! I love this waiting area between their cafe and restaurant.

This is a restaurant floor.

You can enjoy meals on its terrace, looking at the beautiful scenery!

Their vegetable dishes are very delicious because the owner is a farmer and uses their freshly-picked vegetables.
We ordered tempura, soup curry set and a quiche set, all of which are cooked in the limited number. Dressing for salad and the kind of rice can be chosen among several kinds first.


■Salad
The yellow tomatoes are very sweet and the herb dressing really suits these delicious vegetables!

■Normal white rice mixed with black rice
Black rice has distinctive flavor and I love it!

■Soup curry (soya beans)
It has a lot of kinds of vegetables,

and a lot of beans like this↓

■Tomato tempura
It was delicious, but very HOT! When you order it, please be careful!!

Actually it was the first time to eat "tomato" tempura, but it is very recommendable! Please try to cook it at home!

■Quiche set
I chose tomato dressing. I like it better than herb dressing!
Actually this quiche is really BIG!

I put my iPhone beside the quiche so that you can imagine how huge it is. See!! It's HUGE!

I love this rich-tasted vegetables on this very crispy pie! I'm sure I'll be back to eat this quiche!!!

On the first floor there is a cafe like this↓

 You can buy the vegetables grown in Farm Otsuka, the owner's farm.

We bought the yellow tomatoes called "Aiko". I'm sure we cannot buy such delicious tomatoes in normal supermarkets.

They have home-made jam and

seasonable fruits such as blue berries in the summer time.

But look at the home-made cakes and pies!!! All of them are made with fruits and vegetables grown in their farm! Looks very delicious!!!

■Blueberry tart/ Raspberry tart

■Blueberry tube cake/ Japanese yam tube cake
Japanese yam cake? Isn't it very special???

■Pumpkin cheese tart/ baked cheese cake with blue berries/ Chocolate cake/ Carrot cake
The carrot cakes look very cute!

■Cheese tart with rhubarb/ Gateau chocolat/ Apple pie
I'm interested in rhubarb cheese tart!!!

■Rare cheese pie with blue berries/ Raspberry pie
Look yummy x 2!!!


■Blackchokeberry tart/ Oats cake/ Pumpkin pudding/ milk pudding with blueberry source
Blackchokeberries are popular fruits around this area.

 Among these, we chose apple pie↓

and raspberry pie!! Both of them are really good♪ I love their crispy pies and fresh fruits!!

If you have time, you can enjoy picking  fruits in Farm Otsuka. The kind of fruits depends on the season and this time we can enjoy blueberry-picking!

Several kinds of blueberries are grown in this field and

we enjoyed all of them for one hour!


When we looked up the sky, we could clearly see airplane track by chance! What a lovely day it is!

Hakkou Gakuen Farm Stand (八紘学園 農産物直売所)| Fresh Vegetable & Delicious Ice Cream Stand | Sapporo

Are you an ice cream lover?
If so, please visit this farm stand located in Sapporo!!

Hakkou Gakuen(八紘学園)is an agricultural vocational school, which also has a popular farm stand in their huge compound.

You can buy a lot of kinds of vegetables, dairy & meat products here, which are cheaper and more fresh than ones in normal supermarkets.

If you want to buy their products, please come here in the morning! Their vegetables are so popular that they are instantly sold out!

Other than the vegetables they produce, you can buy fresh vegetables grown in and around Sapporo in this stand.

Some of them are grown by graduates from this agricultural school!

You can also buy locally-produced meat in this stand. I love meat produced in Asano Farm in Tobetsu near Sapporo. Pork in this farm is really recommendable!

Today, I bought a bottle of yogurt drink↓ produced in this school! The school keeps dairy cows and their milk and dairy products are really delicious!

I also bought a bottle of tomato juice↓ produced in this school! Taste really rich and you must love it!!!

Last but not least, their soft ice cream is super!!! You cannot leave the stand without eating it!

They serve home (school)-made ice cream.
First, choose the size and kind of waffles.

This is BIG soft ice cream. Taste fresh milk!!! Yummy x 2!!! Do you have any idea how much it is? It is 250 yen only!!!

This is milk soft ice cream with chocolate waffle.
During the spring time only, they serve strawberry ice cream, which is really delicious!!! Of course, the strawberries are grown by the students in this school!

Are you interested in this ice cream?
The stand is near the Sapporo Dome. Please enjoy super-delicious ice cream after concerts,  succor or baseball games and other events held in the stadium!!
