I really recommend this
farmers market held in Ebetu, 20 minutes away from Sapporo! The venue has several booths selling a lot of local products made of
vegetables,
milk, and
meat produced in this city!
This is the event venue, "Ebetsu River Disaster Prevention Station （江別河川防災ステーション）"↓
This event is held once a month during the
winter time, when farmers make and sell delicious processed food such as jam, ketchup, and cakes with
their own agricultural products!
Look at the city mascot named "Ebechu"! So cute♪
But when we look at it from the back........
We've found his
secret! Hahaha!
Let's go upstairs and observe a HUGE
ship object!
"Kamikawa maru" was used in the 19th and 20th century, when Ishikari River was the only channel to bring goods from the ocean to inner Hokkaido.
Actually one of the reasons to come here was to enjoy a special lunch set made of
local products cooked by
their producers! Sounds very delicious and healthy!
And guess what?
The set is only
500 yen! Unbelievable!!
Here comes the lunch set!
I really love this
hayashi rice or hashed beef with rice. This tomato source tastes very rich and delicious!
Tomato, tomato source, ketchup, vegetables, and cheese are
local products.
The pickles are of course
home-made↓ We usually eat
Fukujin-zuke, a kind of pickles, with curry and rice, but this
Fukujin-zuke tastes really different! Tastes very
vegetables!!!
This locally-grown potato is very
dense, steaming, and appetizing♪
We also love this potato salad made of
okara, or tofu-refuse, which is
high in protein &
dietary fibers, and low in calorie! Great for our body, isn't it?
Of course, every ingredient in this salad is from this city!
Last but not least, we enjoyed this tomato jelly made of local
grape tomatoes! Yummy x 2!
Would you like to cook all the dishes?
The
recipes are distributed at the cafeteria and we can buy all the ingredients on the 1st floor!
After having the lunch, we came downstairs and enjoyed shopping!
Look at the
whey milk pork sausage! Tastes very wonderful!!!
The tube cakes are made of
Hokkaido local flour!
Look at the price tag!
The melon jellies are usually 1,050 yen, but today
only 500 yen! Wow! Wow! Wow!
The list price of this pork
motsu (guts) is 500 yen but today
500 yen in the three bags!!
One bag of five pieces of yakitori, (grilled chicken or pork) is
only 100 yen!
5 kg of potatoes are
only 200 yen!!!
We were so surprised at the prices!!!
The venue has something unique, too. This booth sold some unusual kinds of juice, and.....
We bought
yacon juice! The vegetable is rich in oligosaccaride, polyphenol, and dietary fibers, which we believe has
anti-aging effects and tastes very delicious!
We also bought snack buns such as egg and sausage buns!
We really enjoyed the farmers market today!
I love the local commodities made by the producers, using their own agricultural products!
