Kinchan's Ginzushi (金ちゃんの店 吟寿司)| Sushi Bar | Obihiro

Would you like to eat delicious (raw) beef sushi? If so, I know a great sushi bar in Obihiro, serving super-delicious beef sushi that you cannot eat anywhere else.
This is "Kinchan's Ginzushi (金ちゃんの店 吟寿司)" in the downtown↓

They serve reasonable sushi sets during the lunch time, but I recommend

"Gyutoro Kinchan bowl (牛とろ金ちゃん丼)"↓

Let's enter it! They have a lot of fans from abroad, too. The owner showed us a lot of celebrities' signatures and pictures with him. Actually costumers behind us were from Hong Kong.

Voila!
This is "Gyutoro Kinchan bowl (牛とろ金ちゃん丼)", a seafood bowl with gyutoro (minced raw beef).

You don't have to pour soy sauce over it. It is already seasoned with special miso sauce. Put gyuroto on seafood like this, and eat it! This is super delicious!!!

Would you like to try gyutoro sushi, too?

If so, I recommend "Kinchan sushi set (金ちゃん寿司)". Kinchan is the nickname of the owner.

Gyutoro nigiri zushi
Just after I put it in my mouse, the beef part is melted instantly! Yummy x 2!!! I love it!

Gyutoro gunkan zushi
I'm sure nobody can make this spacial miso sauce except him! The sauce really goes well with this sushi!! Perfect!

Gyutoro maki zushi
Yummy x 2!!! I wanted to order another helping!!! Hahaha!

The set comes with three pieces of normal sushi including sea urcin, botan prawn, and queen crab!

When you look at the menu, you'll notice they also serve several other sushi such as

conger and squid sushi, but please ignore them! You can eat normal sushi anywhere, but cannot eat delicious gyutoro sushi at sushi bars in your town!!!

I really recommend their gyutoro sushi!!! Beef produced in this area has a lot of DHA, or Docosa Hexaenoic Acid, which is omega-3 fatty acid that is a primary structural component of the human brain cerebral cortex, sperm, testicles and retina. It is very healthy and delicious, as well as has anti-aging effects! Perfect, isn't it?

MASUYA MUGIOTO (ますやパン 麦音) | Bakery | Obihiro

"MASUYA (ますやパン)" is a very popular bakery in Obihiro, using local ingredients such as wheat and vegetables. Today I'll show you "MASUYA MUGIOTO (ますやパン 麦音)", one of its branches↓

We can eat their bread at the terrace or courtyard. Sounds wonderful, doesn't it?

It opens at 6:55 a.m. When we arrived at this bakery at around 7:30, it was already packed with a lot of customers!! How popular the bakery is!!

A lot of types of delicious bread are carried fresh from the oven one after another..........

Their ingredients are almost all from this area, which is very famous for agriculture.

First, I bought my family members some bread such as brown rice bread↓,

Amaou strawberry bread↓, and

prawn sandwich with chili and tartar sauce. They must love it!!

After choosing some of the berad for breakfast, we went to the terrace.

Chowder and coffee are free of charge! I love this service!!!

Would you like to drink cold barley tea during the summer time? It is also free of charge!

The facility has a windmill like this. Very interesting, isn't it?

At the courtyard, some wheat is dried in this season.

Voila!
This is our choice today!

"Tokachi beef curry bread (とかち牛カレーぱん)" has all delicious ingredients produced in Tokachi area.

This crispy bread has a lot of delicious beef and beans. Yummy x 2!!

This croque-monsieur has delicious ham and cheese! I love it!

How about this marron cabatta (マロンチャバタ)? The chewy and elastic cabatta contains a lot of high-grade marron glace!! Perfect!!

Would you like desserts? How about soft ice cream without any additives?

The milk is from Asunaro Farming in Shimizu Town near Obihiro. It is very creamy, and just like frozen rich milk!

I really recommend this bakery!!

Gosh (ゴーシュ)| Cafe & Restaurant | Biei

"Gosh (ゴーシュ)" is my favorite restaurant, located near JR Bibaushi station (JR美馬牛駅) in Biei.

Everything is perfect: comfortable atmosphere, delicious food, and friendly staff............

When it's sunny, I recommend

the terrace! It is surrounded with trees like this↓

This is the lunch menu. They serve very delicious meat dishes, bread, home-roasted coffee and so on..........But actually I recommend everything they cook! Hahaha! Whatever you order, I'm sure you must love it!

Today we ordered two of my favorite dishes.

Voila!
One of them is stewed beef!!! It is super x 2 delicious!!  The rib is very tender and very juicy!! Yummy x 2!!

This is pork stew with prunes. Sweet and sour prunes go well with pork!! The meat is simmered for a long time, and of course very tender!!! Would you like to try it? Hahaha!

Both of them come with this salad and several kinds of bread.

Biei is an agricultural town, and its vegetables taste rich and dense!

It is worth coming here just to eat their bread!! How flagrant the homemade bread is!!!

Their home-roasted coffee is so popular and delicious that a lot of people come here all the way from cities like Sapporo and Asahikawa to drink it! Wow! Wow! Wow!
The lunch sets come with their delicious coffee or soft drink such as local grape juice↓

This is their today's special; pork loin confit and grilled summer vegetables with Gorgonzola cheese. This seasonal limited lunch is also appealing, isn't it? They used special pork produced in Akaigawa(赤井川), a famous pork production site in Hokkaido.

I also recommend their desserts such as pudding, cheese cakes, chocolate cakes, fruit tarts, and Swiss rolls.
Would you like to come here? It may be difficult to find it, but it is within walking distance from JR Bibaushi station (JR美馬牛駅). Please check the map↓

MISSU HOUSE FUSHIMI MAIN SHOP (ミッシュハウス伏見本店)| Ice Cream & Parfait Cafe | Sapporo

This is one of my favorite gelato parlors in Sapporo, located near Mt. Moiwa.

They have a take-out corner on the first floor, and I recommend..........

"Zenzai monaka (ぜんざいモナカ)", vanilla ice cream with red bean jam! Yummy x 2!

Look at this poster! Their crab ice cream, sunflower seed ice cream, and coffee ice cream got awards in the FOODEX JAPAN2012!
Actually they make more than 10 flavors, and I've tried eight of them! All of them are so delicious that I'm crazy about their ice cream!

We went to the second floor to eat some parfait today!

As it is a sunny day today, we chose terrace seats!

It is always packed with ice cream & parfait lovers like this↓

Let us check the menu! They serve monthly parfait. We must order it of course!!!

How about seasonal limited parfait? We should also order it!! Hahaha!

Voila!
This is "Lemon berry parfait (レモンベリーパフェ)", available only during the summer time. The raspberry mousse and lemon jelly really go well with the lemon ice cream! Perfect for the summer time!!!

This is "Mango fruit parfait (マンゴフルーツパフェ)", a monthly parfait in August. It is filled with mango, my favorite fruit!!! I really love mango mousse below the delicious milk ice cream!!! Yummy x 2!!
