Hokkaido Wandering Trip 114 They often set up a stall at the Hokkaido products exhibition in Kiyosumi-cho, Kamikawa-gun. It is a sales outlet directly managed by a ranch. I wanted to buy milk, but they only had 1L size available, so I bought yogurt soft serve instead. It was full of milk flavor and had a refreshing sweetness, very delicious! I had the yogurt the next morning with bread, it's also highly recommended. After that, I visited Lake Shikaribetsu and saw the lake bottom railway. I also enjoyed the high-quality moor hot spring at Kino Onsen for ¥400 on a Thursday.

Haskap soft serve with 350 Asunaro milk 50. It was my first visit in a while. The taste was just as I imagined, delicious. It was a hot day, but the duck outside was lively. I will definitely stop by again when I pass by for work.

I bought this yogurt drink at the Hokkaido products exhibition because my daughter likes yogurt drinks and asked me to buy it. It was heavy, but I had to buy it. I've never held anything heavier than chopsticks before. The yogurt drink was priced at 540 yen each, but the lady said 2 for 1,000 yen, so I bought a plain one and a haskap one. I thought haskap would be sour, but it was actually a refreshing and easy-to-drink drink.

I purchased this at the Meitetsu Hokkaido Local Products Exhibition. There are always several ice cream and gelato shops, so I was unsure where to buy, but I decided to try this one for the first time. Surprisingly, the milk flavor was light, and I felt it was a bit lacking, but the quantity was large, so it was easy to drink.

In Tokachi, "Asunaro Milk" is known as a popular milk brand. I had their soft serve ice cream at the factory and direct sales store. There is also a dining area where I enjoyed it inside the store with permission. I'm sorry I don't have a photo. After enjoying the delicious ice cream, I saw a photo book of Nogizaka46's Asuka Saito in the store. I looked through it and found out that some of the photos were taken at this store. That's pretty cool. Thank you for the meal. I'll definitely come back again.

The deliciousness that hits you right from the first sip has started to feel too strong, maybe it's my age (laughs). I used to find Asunaro Farming's milk too light, but now I enjoy it every day. What I've learned from drinking it every day is that the key is to have a taste that never gets boring. As time passes from the production date, the milk fat rises and the taste becomes richer, which is an interesting change. This is because the milk fat is not homogenized, allowing for a unique way of enjoying it. A friend who couldn't drink milk because it upset their stomach was delighted to find that they could drink this without any issues. The milk fat not being finely crushed allows for gentle absorption, which seems to be the trick. Low-temperature pasteurization is also a secret to its deliciousness. This milk is processed at the standard 63 degrees for 30 minutes as low-temperature pasteurized milk. It does not have the typical milk smell and allows you to enjoy the natural sweetness and clean aftertaste of milk. Ideally, instead of drinking it straight from the carton, pour it into a cup and heat it to around 19 to 30 degrees (microwave-safe), and you will experience a whole new level of deliciousness (laughs). If it exceeds 40 degrees, a film forms on the surface, making the texture crumbly, so be sure to keep it under 30 degrees! The ranch of Asunaro Farming in Shimizu-cho, Tokachi, Hokkaido, is a land with clean water and air, designated as a protected area for Japanese freshwater crabs. It has been working on pesticide-free and chemical fertilizer-free farming for 25 years, making it a pioneering ranch in Tokachi. In recent years, ranches that handle production and sales have been popping up, but this one seems to be the starting point. There are several ranches nationwide that produce and sell high-quality low-temperature pasteurized non-homogenized milk, but the processing such as removing milk fat adhering to the machinery raises the unit price. Asunaro Farming's price is in the range of 300 yen per liter (Hokkaido Tokachi price. In other regions, the price may increase due to shipping costs). It is kept at an affordable price for low-temperature pasteurized non-homogenized milk. I speculate that this is because of the following reasons: - Having a factory adjacent to the ranch. - Using milk from two ranches. - The direct store is attached to the factory and is not costly. - It is in a paper pack container. - A relatively wide range of sales channels is secured, such as local supermarkets and cooperatives in Honshu, which may have allowed many people who have tried their soft-serve ice cream at department stores and local food fairs nationwide. The origin of the deliciousness of dairy products is milk, so it is a joy as a Tokachi resident to be able to enjoy the safe and secure products from Asunaro. Not only the milk but also the yogurt is extremely delicious. It has a rich and creamy taste with a refreshing finish. The sweet yogurt is like a condensed deliciousness, just like a cheesecake. I have been having this as a dessert while on a diet. The simple milk pudding and homemade caramel without additives are safe sweets that can be recommended even for small children. ... I seem to be becoming a spokesperson for the ranch (laughs). The traditional churn-made butter is a forbidden delight. When placed on freshly cooked rice with tarako, it's like, wow!! The milky taste reaches its peak, it's just too good! I can't resist having seconds (laughs). There was a ban on carbohydrates at home for a while (laughs). You can also order milk online, so if you are interested, please give it a try (^O^) https://asunaro-farming.co.jp/smartphone/page2.html

I got off at Tokachi Shimizu Inter and immediately found this sign! It seems to be open early in the morning, so I stopped by to buy soft serve ice cream "Milk Soft Serve from the Ranch" (300 yen). You can choose from three types: waffle cone, cocoa cone, or cup. I chose the waffle cone. I also bought a cup of Asunaro milk for 50 yen! I drank the milk inside the store where the morning sun was shining, and it was rich and delicious. The soft serve ice cream had a strong milk flavor, but it was a bit too sweet for me, so I got a bit tired of it towards the end. I'm curious about the 50 yen yogurt candy, so I'll try that next time! Thank you, Asunaro!

I live by the motto of eating well and drinking well, and I also love sweet treats. One of the happiest moments in my life, which I can count on my fingers, was when I ate all the desserts at Apicius (I really caused a lot of trouble). I especially love ice cream. I visited Hokkaido this time, as you may know, Hokkaido is a dairy paradise and an ice cream heaven. Even though the end of September in Hokkaido already feels like autumn, this year the temperature was relatively high, so I could still enjoy ice cream. The weather was great, the temperature was high, and I might be a sun god. After climbing the Karikachi Pass and getting all sweaty, of course, I wanted to eat ice cream, so I came here. It's located a bit off the beaten path in Shimizu-cho. I ordered the milk soft serve from the ranch. It costs just over 300 yen. There are no benches outside the shop, so you have to eat while standing. Maybe it's biased, but this soft serve is delicious. It has a texture that is a bit like gelato with fine ice crystals, and you can really taste the milk. The way it melts on your tongue is really nice. It's also quite sweet. It melts quickly, so it's better to eat it quickly. It was past 2 pm at this time, and the sun was scorching, so my hands quickly became sticky. Soft serve ice cream is often overly sweet with a hint of vanilla, but it was nice to have a strong milk flavor here. I realized how delicious milk is. Ice cream in Tokachi. It's a typical touristy thing to do, but it's fun. It's far from Obihiro city, but if you happen to pass by, give it a try.

I was drawn in by the high ratings and decided to visit. There were many toppings to choose from, but I ordered the normal soft serve to fully enjoy the taste. I took a bite in the car. The milk flavor is intense!! The taste is like milk! It's refreshing! With a mild sweetness, the milk flavor stands out even more. By the time I finished eating, the refreshing aftertaste was so much like drinking milk that I was almost fooled. It was a soft serve that lived up to its high ratings!

I think I saw it somewhere... Did I order it online? Or was it at Pipo Papo...? It seemed like a good deal, haha. Ranch Milk Soft Ice Cream. The appearance of the meat was... well, I guess that's how it is. The soft ice cream... it says it's better to eat it slightly melted. When you put a spoon in, there are traces of soft serve ice cream frozen in the cup. It's not very smooth, more of a smooth and refreshing type. I tried mixing it more to see if it would get smoother, but it didn't. The milk flavor was good though. Oh, the meat was just average. Bon appétit!

Today, the highest temperature in Ashoro was 37.4°C. I spontaneously made a reservation for rafting and miraculously got in the day before. We rafted from 9 am to noon in Niikappu. After that, I had pork bowl for lunch and visited a sauce shop. There were various types of sauces, but I chose the "Normal Cup" for 300 yen. It had a rich flavor but was light and had a low melting point. It was the perfect soft sauce for today, which was too hot!

It's been a while since I visited the Hokkaido exhibition. Asunaro Farming, a familiar name at Ikebukuro, had a variety of items on display, but the Cheese Berry Parfait featured in their flyer was outstanding. The cheese sticks were delicious, and I ended up buying a lot from the two cheese shops that were also at the venue. (^-^;

This is a shop called Sarukuru at Michi no Eki Hidaka-san. I felt like eating something, but not in the mood for soft serve ice cream... Hmm? My eyes are drawn to the freezer. Ah, nostalgic ice candy! There are about 6 flavors like milk, peach, and more. I chose grape❤️ When I took a bite in the car, it was so hard and cold! It was tough on my teeth~ It might look like a hot dog in the photo, but it's a grape-flavored ice candy. The grape flavor is not too strong, it's delicious. The stick felt like it might get stuck in my throat? I finished it in no time, thank you for the meal. Next time, I want to try the soft serve ice cream from Asunaro Farming.

I came here to eat the fluffy soft serve ice cream, but it was just a regular swirl. So, I got it in a cup and added chocolate topping. The milk soft serve is light, so it goes well with the chocolate.

Tokachi Shimizu ramen shop is closed for Golden Week, while the soba shop is refusing entry to elementary school children. Lunch options are limited to only this place. The milk soft serve ice cream is generous with ice, giving a refreshing and non-greasy taste. The corn is in a waffle type cone, and I also bought plain yogurt and milk. The milk is not overly sweet or fatty, but it is also not lacking in flavor. It was clear that they did not over-process the soft serve ice cream.

The cup is cute!! The soft serve ice cream I ordered that day was Milk Soft Serve from the ranch for ¥351. It's great value for money! It's generously filled! The soft serve ice cream has a strong milk flavor but it's light and refreshing, not heavy in the mouth. It may look a bit watery but that doesn't bother me.

Recently, I have been going there occasionally. The desserts are not too sweet and refreshing, perfect for hot days.

It was a hot day and my daughter requested to search for soft serve ice cream. It had been a while since I had milk-flavored soft serve and it was delicious. We had to eat it quickly before it melted away. I would like to go back again to have more of this soft serve ice cream. Thank you for the treat!

Farm Milk Soft Serve for 300 yen. It is lightly sweetened and refreshing. No additives are used, so you can taste the direct flavor of the milk!

This soft serve ice cream is smooth and creamy with no aftertaste, making it delicious and refreshing.
