"YAMAMOTO" in Makubetsu town is interesting!! I was alone and the two restaurants I targeted were closed, with no information on Tabelog, so I thought I'd try running to the outskirts of town since I had come this far. But there was nothing there, so I decided to head back towards Sappunai. As I was heading back, I happened to see a funny sign saying "Ultimate Pudding, only 6 steps away". I went in and the interior of the shop was also interesting. Who came up with this? Just a normal countryside guy, not me, right? That's what I thought, but as I kept looking, it started to seem possible, which was strange. Of course, I bought the recommended "Pudding" but also ended up buying the Miso-stewed Mackerel. You can buy it for 100 yen at Seven-Eleven, but it was 500 yen here. You can even use PayPay here, and the customers were just ordinary middle-aged women. Anyway, it was a fascinating shop. On days when my wife is not around, I open a can of Mackerel Miso. Lately, I've been comparing different Mackerel Miso cans. Today is the second day. The consistency of the miso is normal, unlike the firm one on the first day, so this is a safe Mackerel Miso. The miso has a good flavor and richness, not too sweet. The miso may not be standing out, but it's delicious and the Mackerel is a good ingredient without a doubt. I don't recall eating Kinu-Saba, but this is a delicious fish. And the Mackerel Miso can was delicious. If I eat something this delicious on the second day, the next one will be tough. As for the Custard Pudding, when you look at the inside, it's quite runny. Is this how Custard Pudding is supposed to be? It's like a soup. They say it's "extremely delicious". Oh really, this shop is not just interesting, it's the real deal. Seriously, I want to visit this shop again."

I visited for the first time the "Daily Shop Yamamoto" in Makubetsu Town, which I had always wanted to go to. The shop is filled with carefully selected products from all over the country by the store manager. There are many products that are not sold in Hokkaido, as seen on TV programs like "Matsuko's Unknown World", making it fun just to look around. Before I knew it, I had 11 items of 9 different products in my shopping basket. I paid over 4,000 yen at the register. Below are the purchased items introduced in order of preference. 1. "Kanazawa Mackerel Miso Stew 498 yen" - A premium mackerel can using large, fatty Kanazawa mackerel landed at Ishinomaki fishing port. It has a sophisticated seasoning that brings out the original umami of mackerel. A bit pricey but delicious. 2. "Fresh Pudding 143 yen" x2 - The rich and melting mouthfeel of Hokkaido-produced pure fresh cream is amazing. (According to the store manager, it's the ultimate pudding) The creamy texture is irresistible. 3. "Stick Pineapple Pie (4 pieces) 787 yen" x2 - The pineapple version of Ragno's Stick Apple Pie. The combination of syrup-soaked pineapple with a crunchy pie crust is excellent. It's delicious whether warm or chilled. (I prefer to eat it chilled in the refrigerator) 4. "Café Silver Plate Napolitan Sauce 368 yen" - It tastes close to the one you had at a cafe in the Showa era. The sweet and rich flavor of Napolitan is nostalgic. 5. "Kujo Green Onion Fried Rice Seasoning 398 yen" - Just pour it over the finished dish to make a delicious fried rice with a rich flavor based on chicken and pork bone soup, with the aroma of Kujo green onions. 6. "Gold Baum Milk 150 yen" - The moist texture is delicious. It's quite large. 7. "Lemonade 200 yen" - A rich and sweet lemonade made with flavorful Sicilian lemons. It's refreshing and tasty. 8. "JA Okinawa Shikuwasa 180 yen" - A refreshing taste of shikuwasa that goes down smoothly. 9. "JA Okinawa Pineapple 180 yen" - The refreshing taste of pineapple is easy to drink. *All prices are excluding tax. There are many other products that caught my eye, and they regularly introduce newly arrived products on Facebook, so I want to check and visit the shop again. It may have been a special treatment because I visited from a distant place, but it's helpful that they can also hold products for you over the phone.
