All of Hokkaido's "deliciousness" is here. Perfectly roasted beef with exquisitely melted Gouda cheese. Local ingredients like Mashu Soba and Mashu Udon are also abundant. In the morning, enjoy a tasting of three types of milk, and a "sashimi bowl" featuring fresh seafood over steaming hot rice. Add some mountain wasabi for extra flavor. There's also a nostalgic sweet omelet. 🍓A strawberry fair is currently being held (until 5/31). The most enjoyable part is deciding what to eat first.
