I stopped by on the way to the destination of Kawayu Onsen. The building looks impressive, but the inside was not that great. The sales area was quite small. It felt like a facility promoting local celebrities, not very enjoyable. However, the bread and sweets were delicious.

"I was heading towards Ashoro Michi-no-Eki in Tokachi, but I wanted to go to Asahikawa because I wanted to eat Asahikawa ramen. However, I was defeated by the weather forecast. It said that the wind was blowing fiercely over the pass, so it required a bit of courage to cross it. If it was just snow, I would have gone, but I couldn't risk it because if there was an accident, I wouldn't be able to go to work and I couldn't afford to ruin my current happy environment. So, I decided to be obedient. Surprisingly, the weather forecast had a sunny mark for Obihiro. So, I decided to go to Obihiro. I will pass through Ashoro on the way. Last week, I couldn't go to Ashoro Galaxy Hall 21 due to running out of time, so I plan to stop by this time. It's like a revenge. While thinking about what to buy, I found dried shiitake mushrooms. They were thick and impressive. I also found fresh shiitake mushrooms from the same company. They were so thick, I had never seen ones like that before. I decided to buy them even though they were a bit expensive. I wondered how to eat them. I also bought soft serve ice cream, even though it was a bit pricey. I'm not very good at rolling, but it doesn't matter since the taste doesn't change. I started with milk. It was delicious even on its own. It was smooth for milk. I guess there are various production methods for soft serve ice cream. By the way, it's been a while since I had soft serve ice cream. It was delicious. The shiitake mushrooms were quite good. I was struggling to decide what to buy. Tempura was the top choice. I didn't agree with soup. It came out as butter-grilled. It was smaller than expected, but the texture was firm. It must have become rich as the moisture was removed. I also had tempura. This one had more moisture and was softer. The thickness of the mushroom was amazing. My wife said, 'This one is delicious,' but they are different, so both are delicious. I enjoyed the delicious shiitake mushrooms."

I was able to purchase products from Ashoro Cheese Factory, which is manufactured by Ashoro. The cheese factory is located by Lake Ashoro, but you can also buy their products in the city center of Ashoro, making it very convenient. The cheese had a delicious taste, true to Hokkaido's dairy products.

This is a very convenient roadside station that you will definitely stop by when traveling. There is a shop inside, and this time I bought a red bean bun. It is made by Takahashi Confectionery in Ashoro Town. The crispy crust with a strong roasted flavor is delicious. When you think of red bean buns, you usually expect a soft and moist crust, so this unexpectedly delicious red bean bun was a pleasant surprise!
