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!

Farm Restaurant Chiyoda (ファームレストラン千代田)| Biei Beef Restaurant | Biei

Would you like to eat delicious beef stew like this?

"Farm Restaurant Chiyoda" is a very popular beef restaurant in Biei.

Just for reference, the scenery in the winter time is like this↓

Please make a reservation in advance because it is always packed with beef lovers like this↓

They use "Biei Beef", a brand beef. Here are menues↓ All of them are delicious beef dishes♪


"Biei Beef" is very tender and tasty because its feed grains is mixed with sake cake, whose barm energizes bacteria activities and the beef cattle absorb a lot of amino acid in their body! Sounds very yummy!!

We ordered a beef stew set, the most popular item in the restaurant.

Look at the salad. It looks normal, but the vegetables in Biei are very delicious!! The soil here is very fertile and its agricultural products taste very rich! All of my tour guests were impressed with this salad before eating main dish! Hahahaha!

This is pumpkin potage. Of course this pumpkin is a local product. When you come to Biei, please appreciate pumpkins and potatoes produced in Biei. Taste very different!!

Voila!!!!
This is my favorite beef stew!!!

The beef is very tender and we didn't have to use knife to cut it! The fat is naturally sweet!!! Please open your mouth, and enjoy this beef stew!! 

After enjoying the lunch, we enjoyed "Fureai Bokujyo" (animal farm) in front of the restaurant.

 They keep several kinds of animals like this↓

First, we bought the food for the animals and enjoyed feeding them.
This is a peacock.

They are silky fowls. Actually we ate ramen with silky fowl broth  at "saijyo", a famous ramen restaurant, in "Asahikwa Ramen Village" in the previous day, and all of us felt some guilty...... :-(

(If you are interested in Asahikawa Ramen Village (ramen complex), please refer to my previous post→click!)

The ponies are very cute!!

They are Jersey, whose milk is very delicious!!!

They are walking steak!! Just kidding :-)

It's like scenery in New Zealand, isn't it? Hokkaido is very spacious!!

We really enjoyed Biei!
