This is the Michi-no-Eki Eniwa. It's summer vacation, which means it's corn season in Hokkaido... Hokkaido corn is delicious, so whenever I buy it, I always decide to go to Michi-no-Eki Eniwa! They also sell corn at New Chitose Airport, but the quality is almost the same and it costs 400 yen per ear, so I prefer to buy it here for home use. I bought 2 ears of "Megumi Gold" for 150 yen each and 2 ears of "Yuki no Yosei" (White) for 200 yen each. They are sold at the newly renovated direct sales market "Kanona" located at the Michi-no-Eki. There was a large corn corner in the center of the store, but unfortunately, they were low in stock when I visited around 3 pm. However, they restocked later. I got 2 ears each of the classic sweet yellow "Megumi Gold" and the visually appealing white "Yuki no Yosei". In my household, the classic yellow one was more popular. The freshly picked corn in the morning is so delicious. The facilities were cleaner and more attractive than before, making it a place I want to visit again. It was delicious, thank you for the meal.

I have visited this place many times, but this time there was a huge line of about 40 people outside the neighboring shop. It was the first time I've seen it so crowded. I bought some bread at this shop. They were also selling Chelvo's frozen pizza. I decided to try the recommended item, the "Isobe Mochi" for 185 yen. It had a mysterious flavor with seaweed, soy sauce, bonito, and a hint of wasabi. Thank you for the meal.

The family participated in a daily bus tour around Tomakomai, Chitose, and Eniwa, and received this souvenir. It looks delicious, and I shared half with my younger daughter. It was soft from the moment I split it, so it was definitely tasty. When I ate it, it was just as delicious as I imagined, with crispy seaweed, super soft mochi, and a nice aroma of soy sauce. My daughter also enjoyed eating it. If I find this again, I will definitely buy it. Thank you for the meal!

When I visited Eniwa in Hokkaido for work, I had lunch at a restaurant located at the Michi to Kawa no Eki Hana Road Eniwa. The station faces the national highway with a lot of traffic, and with a Starbucks inside, it attracts a bustling crowd of cars. The vast grounds have a space called "Hanafuru" which is filled with various flowers, creating a beautiful scenery when in season. From the end of June, the "Garden Festa" event starts, attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors... I would love to visit again during that time. The restaurant operates with a food ticket system, and after some hesitation, I selected the "12 Vegetable Curry." They use pork called "Konayukitonton" raised stress-free in the grassland area of Ekorin Village in Eniwa. The curry has four levels of spiciness to choose from, and you can also choose the amount of rice you want. The curry ingredients include... potatoes, carrots, tomatoes, eggplants, broccoli, green beans, lotus root, pumpkins, cabbage, onions, red peppers, yellow peppers. *This is based on my observation and may not be accurate! They blend 16 spices uniquely, creating a curry that is rich in spiciness yet delicious with the flavor of vegetables. The Konayukitonton is juicy with just the right amount of fat, making it surprisingly easy to eat despite its volume! The interior of the restaurant is set up like a campsite, with tents pitched and a space for children to play, giving off a family-friendly vibe. Although there were signs indicating Wi-Fi availability, the connection was weak and I couldn't access it at all... Thank you for the meal!

Everyone, let's have a blast today! We visited Hanaroad Eniwa, a roadside station located about 30 minutes by car from New Chitose Airport in Sapporo. I heard that the bread here is cheap and delicious, so we stopped by for a snack. Even though it's already March, Eniwa City is still covered in deep snow. As soon as we entered, we found a large bakery on the right side selling the popular "No. 1 Pumpkin Custard Bread." We bought 6 of them for everyone. With the price of wheat expected to more than double soon, these breads are very affordable. The government sets the price of wheat twice a year, in April and October, and it has been decided that the price will increase by 18% next month. In October, it will definitely double. They also had other delicious options like Milk Bread, Choco Crunch Rustic, Cheese Cheese, Soft Chocolate Muffin, Pumpkin Melon Bread, Raisin Bread, Bread Flower, and Apple Bread, all priced at 160 yen each. The Pumpkin Custard Bread was fluffy, not too sticky, with a perfect mix of caramel and pumpkin cream, giving it a moist and delightful taste. We will definitely visit again. Thank you very much.

When it comes to roadside stations, soft serve ice cream is a must! I had always wanted to try the pumpkin soft serve ice cream here, and finally got the chance to visit. They offer four flavors of soft serve: plain, strawberry, haskap berry, and Mont Blanc-style pumpkin. Previously, the soft serve itself was pumpkin-flavored, but it seems they changed it to milk-flavored soft serve with pumpkin sauce on top. I was a bit disappointed, but still ordered the pumpkin one in a cup. The soft serve machine I saw behind the counter was a Carpigiani, which got me excited. The soft serve in a clear cup was quite generous in size. I started from the top where the sauce was not drizzled yet and took a bite. It had a rich milk flavor and was quite sweet. It tasted more like sugar than natural sweetness of milk. The soft serve made with Carpigiani was light and fluffy, but melted smoothly. Maybe it had a lower milk fat content. The pumpkin sauce on top was more like sweetened pumpkin stew than a dessert. It had a strong sweet taste that didn't lose to the sweetness of the soft serve itself. I wish I could have tried it when the base soft serve was pumpkin-flavored. Thank you for the meal!

I took a short break and decided to buy the "Kona Yukitonton Pork Jerky" for my evening drink. It was softer, more flavorful, and saltier than I had imagined. It would be even better if it were a little cheaper. There were also various other products like curry available, and I could feel the enthusiasm to make this brand of pork more popular.

I was running towards Chitose when I saw a sign for Michi to Kawa no Eki Hana Road Eniwa, and I noticed a very impressive facility, so I decided to stop by. I had no idea when this impressive place was built. So, first things first, I got some soft serve ice cream. Typically, when driving in Hokkaido, I end up getting soft serve ice cream during toilet breaks. Today was no exception, following that pattern, I placed my order at the counter. I was planning to leave after that, but ended up deciding to have lunch here as well.

I visited the Michi-no-Eki Hanarodo Eniwa (Konayuki Tonton) in Hokkaido and tried their Konayuki Tonton seared bacon curry. The station is near New Chitose Airport and offers a variety of local products. I was impressed by the quality of ingredients used in the curry, which was surprisingly spicy and delicious. Overall, it was a great dining experience.

Rest stop on the road. I have been coming to this road station many times over the years, and it has been renovated and rebuilt, making it very lively! The parking space is large and very good. There are gardening, bakery, souvenirs, and eat-in options, and the menu highlights the uniqueness of Ebetsu, which is very nice. I usually buy bread and take a break. Today, I had pumpkin soup, which was comforting with the natural sweetness of Ebetsu's pumpkin. The unique Ebetsu limited menu is interesting, so I recommend it.

I had a local soft serve ice cream with pumpkin sauce at a roadside station. The soft serve itself was creamy and delicious with a milky flavor, but when I tried the pumpkin sauce, it had a gentle sweetness of pumpkin and was very tasty. Since the weather was nice, I ate it on a bench outside.

This is a roadside station in Eniwa. The dining space is set up to look like a large camping area with tents and hanging pot stands. I had the seared bacon curry (1120 yen) inside one of the tents. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

Visit date: Around 1:30 PM on December 21, 2020. I visited this store, "Michi to Kawa no Eki Hanarodo Eniwa," while taking a walk. This time, I ordered the "Soft Serve Ice Cream Cup (¥350)" and the "Konayuki Tonton Pork Bun (¥280)." The ordered items were handed to me right after payment, and I moved to a table seat. First, I tried the pork bun. It was warm, with a thick and chewy skin. Each piece of meat had a flavorful taste, but I couldn't quite feel the uniqueness of "Tonton" and it felt slightly overpriced. The price has been reduced from ¥300 before, but it may still seem a bit high. Next, I had the soft serve ice cream with haskap sauce. I had never visited the store before the renovation, but I heard that the pumpkin soft serve was yellow back then. If they had continued that tradition, the haskap soft serve might have been a light purple color. Considering the past reviews, I can't give a high rating for just putting sauce on soft serve ice cream. Also, it seems that the menu no longer includes the "Konayuki Tonton Pork Cutlet Curry"... If you want to enjoy the delicious cutlet from "Tonton," it seems you'll have to visit the main store. Thank you for the meal.

Facilities have been renovated, but I wonder if it's really necessary to allow new registrations... Strange, isn't it? Anyway, I recently visited, so I will move my review from the old site... Strange management! On a day off during the Bon holidays, starting with a visit to the restroom, buying fresh vegetables, having meals and snacks, and using the food court inside "Keinetoi no Eki, Hana Road Keinetoi". I visited around 3 pm, so it wasn't too crowded as it was off-peak hours, but there were about 5 people in line at the register. I ordered the "Miyako Pumpkin Ice Cream" for 300 yen, which I always eat whenever I come here... I love it~ After eating it, my throat gets a little dry, but well, the taste makes up for it. Looking at other reviews, the price seems to be increasing little by little, from 250 yen to 270 yen... Is it getting more expensive? It's delicious, but what about the thirst after eating it? Is it a problem with my own body constitution? After that, I bought a lot of vegetables and went home. Thank you for the meal.

In July 2020, the "Michi no Eki Hanarodo Eniwa" in Eniwa City, Hokkaido, was renewed as "Michi to Kawa no Eki Hanarodo Eniwa". The "Kanona" direct sales store was previously registered for renewal, but this seems to be a new registration. I happened to take a photo of the roadside station, and my family bought some potato chips, so I'll sneak in a review. Located in Eniwa, the "Ekorin Village" is operated by the Arefu from Bikkuri Donkey. These potato chips are produced by the Fukagawa Oil and Fat Factory in Fukagawa City, so you can trust the taste. These potato chips have a "tomato" flavor that really stands out. I couldn't stop eating them while enjoying a shochu and soda.

When my spouse and I visited the Eniwa area, we stopped by the Michi no Eki Eniwa. The newly renovated building was quite busy on a Saturday. There was a vegetable market and it was bustling. Since we had already had lunch, we decided to get some soft serve ice cream. By showing our Michi no Eki stamp rally book, we got a 20 yen discount, making it 330 yen. Normally, you purchase tickets from a machine, but if you have a discount, you pay at the register. There was a shop selling bread and curry. The eat-in space had a stylish atmosphere. In Hokkaido, the standard for soft serve ice cream is quite high, so the soft serve here was decent, with a normal quality. It had a moderate richness between creamy and milky. The cone was nothing special. Next time, I'd like to try the curry. Thank you for the meal.

Visit date: Afternoon of June 28, 2020. I visited the Michi to Kawa no Eki Hanaroad Eniwa for Jalan's Ice Stamp Rally 2020. The inside of the store was bustling with various customers including individuals, moms with children, couples, and families. I purchased a ticket for "Pumpkin Sauce Soft Serve (with a soft drink for ¥500)" as planned and went to the counter. Shortly after handing over the ticket to the staff, the soft serve was ready. The evenly poured pumpkin sauce looked delicious! I took a small spoonful of the ice cream into my mouth with high expectations. Mmm! The rich flavor was delicious! I later found out that the pumpkin sauce is a mixture of white bean paste and pumpkin. Red bean paste and pumpkin go well together! I chose orange juice as my drink, which came in a large cup and surprised me a bit. Maybe just the soft serve alone would have been enough. They also offer curry with tonkatsu using meat from Konayuki Tonton and pumpkin bread, which I would like to try someday. I will definitely visit again in the future!

The bread looked delicious, so I decided to order the Spicy Curry (curry roux only for 850 yen) to dip the bread in. However, I was given a tiny cup with less than 100cc of curry, which was not enough to fill me up. The taste was okay, but the cost performance was terrible, and I will not eat here again. It is run by the same company as Bikkuri Donkey, but I would recommend eating hamburgers there instead. Please be careful when dining here.

I went to the restaurant after the renovation was done. It looked nice, but the menu hadn't changed at all. I was debating between getting the potato set or the soft serve, and ended up choosing the soft serve. I had heard about it before, but they just put syrup on it. Hmm, it's just okay! Before, they had yellow pumpkin soft serve and the haskap berry soft serve which looked beautiful and tasted delicious.

I went after a long time and found out it was closed. I tried the curry that I had been curious about. The curry had less sauce than in the picture... Just as I expected. The pumpkin was delicious though. Maybe it will be different after the renovation... I'll look forward to spring.
