During the Golden Week holidays a few days ago, I visited the popular tourist spot "Ryugetsu Sweet Pia Garden" in Otofuke Town✨ The warm weather tempted me to have ice cream🤤, and I enjoyed the limited menu item "Tokachi Kinagoromo Soft" from the Garden Cafe🍦🫘 This soybean-flavored soft serve is topped with brown sugar syrup, and the cone is filled with plenty of Tokachi red bean paste, making it a delicate treat characteristic of Ryugetsu! It was very delicious✨ Be sure to try this exclusive flavor that can only be enjoyed in Otofuke Town!
