This shop is a tenant located within the Seseragi Onsen, a hot spring facility. Their pork bowl has juicy and delicious pork with a crispy coating. I always end up ordering it whenever I come here, so I haven't been able to try out other menu items yet (laughs).

I usually eat soft serve ice cream, but today I decided to have some nostalgic cold kitsune soba. They also gave me soba-yu and a small dish for mixing wasabi. The soba was delicious! This restaurant has friendly customer service, but in other soba shops in the area, they often give a strange look when I ask for cold soba with soba-yu and a wasabi dish. Maybe the soba culture is more prevalent in Sapporo, but not so much in other regions?

I always use it before going to the hot springs. The pork bowl set is recommended after all. The pork with batter is delicious with the sauce coating it well.

I went to Seseragi Onsen ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ I was actually planning to go to Nanaihama no Yu, but the parking lot was too crowded so I gave up. It looked like the bath would be too crowded like a potato wash (≧∇≦) There are some cars in the parking lot here too, but not as many. Plus, the bathing fee is only 300 yen, which is a low price ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ The water is definitely hot as expected (≧∇≦) It says 42 degrees, but it feels even hotter o(≧▽≦)o I managed to bear it and took a dip. After such a hot bath, the non-alcoholic beer after bathing tastes delicious ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ I was able to relax on the tatami mats after a long time♪

Even though it's only a short distance away, I always used to go to Shinwa no Yu along the road. I decided to stop by here for a change. It's been over 10 years since I last visited, and I enjoyed the specialty quince hot spring. The hot spring fee is 300 yen, and Hokkaido has many affordable places which is convenient. I thought it would be crowded because there were a lot of cars, but it was spacious and relatively relaxed. There was a dining area with a more proper menu rather than just light meals. While it may feel a bit unsettling to eat on the spot, there is a large training room available, so it might be better to eat there. When I considered getting soft serve ice cream, it didn't seem to be the typical soft serve made with certain milk. So, I thought of having shaved ice, a cold sweet treat. They generously poured syrup over it, and it was delicious. My mouth turned red as I ate more and more. The person who came up with the idea of using a spoon that turns into a straw is amazing, perfect for enjoying shaved ice outdoors. When my daughter was young, she once spotted a spoon like that at a tourist spot and insisted that there must be shaved ice here. It's nice to see that her love for food is inherited.

The noodles had a nice firm texture and were delicious!
