Toritama Shokudo Kokkoya (とりたま食道 こっこ家)| Chicken Restaurant | Tobetsu

If an owner of a chicken farm runs a chicken restaurant, the restaurant must serve the best chicken dishes. I know the restaurant in Tobetsu, 1 hr away from Sapporo!

The restaurant is at the perfect location to raise chickens!

Please find this sign! There's nothing but this restaurant around this area! Hahaha!

This is the restaurant! The prefabricated restaurant opens only during the spring and summer time!
Let's enter it!

This is a self-service restaurant. During the lunch hours, it is packed with local people!

There are a lot of recommendable chicken dishes, but one of my favorites is..........

chicken ramen called "Kokko ramen". The broth is made from special chicken called "Yokubari Kokko".

Looks delicious, doesn't it???

The red eggs are used for the noodles, too! Yummy x 2!!!

The broth is transparent and tastes very rich and very chicken!!!!

I love this half-boiled egg!!The yolk is veeeeeeeeeeeeery soft!!

After eating the noodles, you can eat "that"!
What is "that"?
When you take the soup to the cooking counter, the chef puts rice in it and makes rice porridge!

Voila!!!!
I really recommend it or "that"!!! The rice absorbs the delicious chicken soup!!!

I always order "that"!

Next, we order chicken bowl. The range-free chicken is used for the bowl. The meat is char-grilled, and the seasonings are all Hokkaido products! Sounds perfect!!

Wow! Wow! Wow!
This bowl is called "Oyako don" or "parent-and-child bowl" because chicken and eggs are parent and child!

This soup tastes super-super wonderful!!! It's worth coming here all the way from Sapporo!

Look at the half-cooked egg!!

The very soft egg and the juicy chicken make us very happy!!

After enjoying the lunch, we visited the farmer's egg shop next to the restaurant.

Let me see........what should I choose???

You can buy delicious raw eggs here, but I bought

 smoked eggs and pudding!

 This pudding is made of Hokkaido milk and "Yokubari Kokko".

I really enjoyed the chicken and eggs today!

Machimura Farm (町村農場)| Farm Stand (Dairy Products & Ice Cream) | Ebetsu

"Machimura Farm" is located in Ebetsu, which is 20 mins away from Sapporo. There are nothing but the nature around the farm, but it is always crowded with a lot of ice cream lovers especially during the summer time.

First, we've learned how to produce milk in this farm in front of the cow shed. The president said, "The milk fat produced here is used at Starbucks in Japan". I didn't know that!!! Wow! Wow! Wow!!!!

After learning milk production, we went to this stand.

You can buy their dairy products such as yogurt, cheese, butter, and so on, but

the most popular dessert here is soft ice cream. You cannot leave here without eating this vanilla ice cream!!! Tastes VERY MILK!!! That's way a lot of people come all the way here even from Sapporo!!

Why don't you enjoy chocolate soft ice cream, too???
It's not so sweet and perfect in the summer time!!! Depending on the season, they serve different flavors such as strawberry.

Looking at the farm scenery, we really enjoyed delicious ice cream. Yummy x 2♪

* A dairy cafe was opened in this premise recently, serving desserts such as cakes, parfait, and ice cream. If you are interested in it, please refer to my other post→click !

Egg House (たまごの家)| Egg Vending Machines in Yumi

There are a lot of kinds of vending machines in the world; drinks, tobacco, ice cream and so on. But have you ever heard or seen EGG vending machines in your community?

When I found it, I was soooooooooooo surprised!!! This "Egg House" is in Yuni, which is 1.5 hrs away from Sapporo and

blessed with the nature!

A local poultry husbandman runs these vending machines and always keeps the fresh free-range-eggs in the dispensers!!

Let's enter the "house"!
There are several kinds of eggs or egg products there!

■Egg soup (light): You can buy soup, too!!
■Eggs with double yolk (middle and right): I'm really interested in double yolk.! When you make sunny-side up with this egg, it should be very cute!


■Hot spring eggs (Eggs boiled in hot spring) with its special soup (left): Have you heard that hot spring eggs can be bought from a machine? I cannot believe it!
■White Free-range-eggs (middle): Sounds very delicious! 
■Brown eggs (right): These have a lot of minerals!

■Jumbo eggs: They are bigger than I thought! I guess they are twice bigger than usual small eggs!

If you need some coins to buy eggs, plz use this change machine in the Egg House! Perfect!

Small eggs (left and middle): A bag has 30 eggs at the cost of 300 yen!
Smoked eggs (right):Wow! I want to buy them, because

they are GOLD!!!

Why GOLD????

They look unnecessarily beautiful and nice :-)
I like the name of the eggs: Golden Egg!!!!

It's shiny :-)

When you peel the eggshell, it becomes a normal smoked egg (of course).

I cut the egg and ate it with beer :-)

We really enjoyed the egg vending machines and Golden Eggs!

■Where is Egg House?
It opens 24 hrs a day.
