At Roadside Station Otofuke Natsuzora no Furusato lies Western-style restaurant Petit Joie 🥘
I had the white omurice with curry sauce and a baked curry set 😋
The “white omurice” used local vegetables, eggs called "Kometuya" from Takeuchi Poultry Farm 🥚 and butter from Yotsuba Dairy, and paired beautifully with the curry sauce—very delicious! ✨
The baked curry was made by baking a rich curry with cheese, so it arrived piping hot and tasted great 😍
White omurice is hard to find, so please come and try it ✨

Tokachi Pork Workshop Yutaku, a popular tonkatsu restaurant in Obihiro✨
Founded in 1962 as a local butcher shop, this direct-run store selects pork raised in Tokachi, one of Hokkaido’s leading pork-producing regions. The meat undergoes low-temperature aging at their own factory, which tenderizes the pork and brings out its full savory flavor. 🥩
This time I had the hirekatsu set meal!
It has less fat than the rosu, but it was freshly fried and crispy, and the meat was tender, juicy, and very delicious😋
They offer many other menu items, so be sure to give them a try💓

Tokachi Pork Workshop YUTAKU✨
Founded in Showa 37 (1962), Tokachi Pork Workshop YUTAKU carefully selects pork from the Tokachi area, runs both a butcher and a restaurant, and operates its own factory. The meat used in the restaurant is processed using low-temperature aging, which softens the texture and fully brings out the pork’s natural sweetness. 🥩
This time I ordered a tenderloin pork cutlet, which has less fat than loin but is tender and juicy—very delicious😋
The shop also offers many other choices, so if you visit Tokachi or Obihiro, you should definitely stop by and try it!
