There are many popular bakeries within New Chitose Airport, but two in particular, "Biei no Corn Pan" which is only baked 4-5 times a day, and "Biei no Mame Pan" which is only available once a day at 8:00, attract limited queues of around 30 groups each. The bakery ensures that the lines do not become too long due to the limited availability. Additionally, these items sell out quickly upon release, and can only be purchased at the Biei Senka New Chitose Airport store. There is no online shopping option available. Customers are limited to purchasing two boxes per day, and children are not allowed to line up alone. It is also not permitted for the same person to line up multiple times in a day to buy in bulk; if purchasing more than two boxes, it is required for at least two people to be in line. Starting around 30 minutes before the sales begin, plastic tickets are distributed to indicate that you will be able to make a purchase during the current selling period. However, these tickets do not guarantee a purchase, so it is important to remain in line until you have made your purchase. These freshly baked breads can only be obtained when there is enough time during your stay at New Chitose Airport. On this particular day, I arrived at 12:30 and was lucky to receive ticket number 30 while being the 20th person in line. The limit was 40 boxes, so it was a close call. I was able to purchase the hot and fluffy "Biei no Corn Pan" which had a sweet aroma of corn. It was packed with Biei corn and made without any sugar or water, using only the moisture from the corn. The bread itself was delicious, and the crunchy corn added a nice touch. I understand why there are long queues for this tasty treat. I also enjoyed a yogurt made with 100% fresh Biei milk. The yogurt was creamy and rich in the taste of fresh milk. Despite the wait, it was worth it to enjoy these freshly baked goods. Thank you for the meal!

The best thing I fell in love with in Hokkaido was their corn. So, I had been wishing to bring back this corn bread from Biei and waited in line for an hour to buy it. While waiting, I enjoyed watching the process of making the bread through the glass window. I was amazed at how quickly they made it when I watched how they were making it. The corn bread is handed over with the top lid open as it is freshly baked. Since I had just eaten miso ramen, I couldn't eat it right away and had it when I got home. This bread is made without using sugar or milk, only using the moisture and sweetness of the corn. That's why the color is like corn and it's packed with corn inside. When I first tasted it, I was a little impressed by how sweet it was even though it was just corn. The thought of mayo corn bread I usually eat crossed my mind, so I decided to try a little mayo just in case. But it felt different, and I realized it was better without mayo. It's delicious even without anything added, which made me understand why there's always a long line. I plan to freeze the rest and savor it slowly.

I heard from a friend that this bakery is famous, so I decided to stop by when I arrived at New Chitose Airport. Unfortunately, they were sold out of bread for the day. Determined to try their freshly baked bread, I called to ask about the baking times but was told they only knew the next one at 1pm. I arrived at the shop at 11:30 am on a weekday, and of course, the popular mamepan was already sold out. I decided to wait for the next batch at 1 pm and managed to get the first ticket in line! After waiting for an hour and a half, I finally got my hands on the bread, limited to 2 boxes per person. The freshly baked bread was truly delicious, soft and filled with corn. I had it at the food court and was pleasantly surprised by how good it tasted. The next day, I was worried that the bread might have been squished in my full paper bag of souvenirs, but to my relief, it was still fluffy. I regret not being able to toast it in my hotel, so I will definitely wake up early next time to try the mamepan again. Overall, despite the wait, it was worth it in my opinion.

When I visited New Chitose Airport, I stopped by this shop. Unfortunately, the famous corn bread was sold out, so I bought curry and other items as souvenirs instead. It was delicious, and my friends were happy with it, so I'm glad. If I have the chance, I would definitely visit again to get my revenge!

This is a highly sought-after and rare bread called the "Corn Bread of Biei" that is a collaboration between VIRON and New Chitose Airport. It is only available at the airport and there is no online shop or other store where you can buy it. The bread is baked every 1 to 1.5 hours starting at 8:00 in the morning. The timing of when it is available varies each day, so you have to be there at the right time to buy it. I arrived at 10:20 and already the batch for 10:30 was sold out, but I managed to get a ticket for the next batch. I waited in line and finally got my hands on the bread at 12:20. It was warm and delicious, with lots of corn inside. It was definitely worth the effort to buy and enjoy this unique bread.

I remember discovering a market at Biei's land where I bought Biei onion flavored rice snacks and they were delicious. I found out that there is also a store at Chitose Airport! The store at Chitose Airport is famous for Biei corn bread and Biei bean bread. I wanted to buy some, but by the time I got there in the evening on a weekday, they were already sold out for the day! So, it seems like it's better to visit the store in the morning when you arrive at the airport. The Biei onion consomme soup made from Biei onions is a masterpiece. It's easy to make, just add hot water. The soup has a gentle sweetness from the onions and it's so delicious that I ended up drinking two cups right away! If I can make it to New Chitose Airport early in the morning next time, I want to line up for a chance to try the bread! Credit card payment is accepted at the store.

Finally made it here. The baking time varies each day, so other people's reviews aren't very helpful. On this day, the next batch was at 11:00, with the one before that at 8:30. People start lining up around 10:00, with about 5 people already in line. Not many customers like me who buy just one box. Taking that into account, they probably can only serve around 30 people per batch. The best time to buy is around 40 minutes before the batch is ready, so for an 11:00 batch, that would be around 10:20. I waited for about an hour to buy. The filling was packed with corn, and the sweetness of the corn was really concentrated. It's worth the wait, and it can even last until the next day, making it a good souvenir.

I headed to New Chitose Airport earlier to buy corn bread on my way back. When I arrived, it was just freshly baked. They were already sold out with the tickets distributed. I decided to wander around a bit until the next batch was ready. About an hour before the scheduled baking time, I went to check and saw people starting to line up, so I decided to join the line. Here, each person can only buy up to 2 boxes, and the representative must line up, so everyone who wants to purchase must line up. By the way, if you come early in the morning, you can also get soybean bread, but it's limited to one per person, so it seems quite difficult to get. After waiting for a while, I managed to buy 2 boxes. Since they were freshly baked, the boxes were loosely opened. I intended to have a light lunch, so I moved to an empty seat and enjoyed it with a Sapporo Classic beer (bought nearby). The bread was fluffy because it was freshly baked. The corn filling was packed to the brim, making me feel really happy. When I took a bite, the sweetness of the corn spread throughout my mouth, truly a blissful experience. I had eaten this before, but this time I found out something new. It seems that they are collaborating with VIRON. No wonder it's so delicious. It was a really delicious corn bread. I recommend going to the airport with plenty of time to buy this. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

In July, during my trip to Hokkaido, I visited Shikisai Bakery at New Chitose Airport. When I arrived, there was already a long line. I arrived at the airport around 9 am. I received a plastic ticket and waited for about 40 minutes before I could purchase the rare bread for 1500 yen. When I tried it, it was not exactly what I had imagined. I expected a sweet dough that would complement the sweetness of the corn, but the actual bread had a salty flavor with the sweetness of the corn standing out. It was still delicious, but I probably wouldn't wait in line for it again.

Probably, the most difficult item to get at New Chitose Airport right now is the Biei Senka's "Corn Bread (5 pieces for 1500 yen)." It requires luck and patience to line up for about an hour before the baking time, and only the representative is allowed to line up, and you must not leave the line, etc. The "Corn Bread" from Biei Senka at New Chitose Airport is like the final boss, requiring both luck and patience. This long weekend, I lined up quite a bit... (laughs) I had set aside plenty of time for shopping at New Chitose Airport, but first thing after arriving at the airport, I checked the situation of the final boss. The next batch will be ready at 1:00 PM. The current time is 12:10 PM. There's already about 8 customers lined up. Of course, I decided to wait for an hour in line. Biei Senka is not really a bakery. I mean, they have "Bean Bread" and "Corn Bread." How can they become famous with just these products? While waiting for what seemed like an eternity, I received a redemption number tag about 15 minutes later, and then waited for another 45 minutes. The bread was hot and the aroma of corn as I opened the box was irresistible. The bread was fluffy and soft, filled with plenty of corn. The sweetness of the corn was a bit unexpected, but it had a strong sweetness and umami flavor. It was really delicious! Probably the best corn bread I've ever had. I'm not a big fan of corn bread, so my opinion might not be very helpful, but it was really good! Thank you for the meal. I'll definitely come back again.

The purpose of visiting the 100 famous shops was to buy corn, but it was sold out. However, I was able to buy mountain wasabi and popcorn seasoning. Popular items always sell out quickly. But if you come with at least 3 hours before your flight, it can't be helped if you can't buy it. I bought mountain wasabi, so I'm looking forward to eating it with roast beef. Exciting!

This place is famous for its corn bread. I tried to buy some before returning to Tokyo, but it was already sold out. Oh well, I still wanted something, so I got some popcorn kernels instead. I'm looking forward to making delicious popcorn when I get home. Exciting!

I was told by a local in Hokkaido that there is a delicious bakery at the airport, so I went to check it out the day before. It was written that they open at 8:00, so I thought maybe it would be fine to arrive around 7:45. However, I was told that some people start lining up an hour before! What!? Haha. The next day, I made sure to line up around 7:15 and was able to successfully get my hands on some bread. I tried both the corn bread and red bean bread, and I recommend eating them fresh out of the oven. They were fluffy, sweet, and addictive. Thank you for the delicious treats!

The main store is located in Biei, and they sell bread at the Biei antenna shop inside New Chitose Airport. The shop opens at 9 am, and there is always a line before opening for the limited "Bean Bread" (5 pieces for 1500 yen) and the freshly baked "Corn Bread" (5 pieces for 1500 yen). You receive a numbered ticket when you line up, and they ask how many you want to buy. You can only purchase up to two boxes of Bean Bread and Corn Bread per person. However, the Bean Bread often sells out before the shop even opens, especially for those who line up early. When I tried lining up almost right at opening time on a weekday, there were already over ten people ahead of me, and the Bean Bread was sold out. The Corn Bread finishes baking at 10:20 am, which means a wait of 1 hour and 20 minutes. (The baking time may vary by day.) Once you receive your ticket, you cannot leave the line, so you have to wait patiently. You also cannot increase the quantity after placing your order. I was determined to buy it today, so I endured the wait. The freshly baked Corn Bread I finally got at 10:20 am was delicious! It was crispy with lots of corn inside, and it was hot. I enjoyed it with coffee at the food court. When I reheated it in the oven at home and added mayonnaise and pepper, it was even more delicious! It may be challenging to get, but if you have the guts, please try to get it! Thank you for the meal.

This is an antenna shop of Biei in New Chitose Airport, selling corn bread and bean bread. The bread is sold out by 8am, so if you're on a regular flight, you probably won't be able to eat it. I bought some rusk and drinkable yogurt instead. I didn't have high expectations for the rusk, but it was surprisingly delicious. I had some mild expectations for the yogurt, but after drinking it, I ended up buying another one...

On Fridays around 8:30 am, people start lining up for the 9:30 am batch of freshly baked corn bread at Pan EAST, a popular bakery at New Chitose Airport. You can order a box of corn bread (5 pieces) for 1500 yen. The bakery is located on the 2nd floor of the airport. Payment can be made with QUICPay or credit card. The corn bread and red bean bread are limited edition items only available at New Chitose Airport, with the red bean bread being offered only in the 8 am batch, making it difficult to purchase. Each person can buy up to 2 boxes of bread. To purchase, customers must line up in front of the store and wait for a numbered ticket. Only about 30 tickets are distributed before sales end. As the line moves forward, customers wait for their freshly baked bread. Despite the challenge of eating the piping hot bread, the corn bread is packed with corn and has a natural deliciousness. The dough has a simple flavor similar to salt bread.

I arrived at the airport early by taking a fast train because I had a 9:00 flight. When I checked out the shop at 7:08, there were 15 people waiting in line. I had to line up as well. Around 7:30, the shop staff asked us what bread we wanted to buy and gave us tickets. - You can buy up to 2 boxes at once. - The black bean bread is only available at 8:00 once a day. - The corn bread will be baked at 8:00 today (it was written that the second batch will be baked at 9:30). Last time I visited, I bought 5 for 1300 yen, but now it's 1500 yen. It's a bit expensive given the current situation, but since it's hard to come by, I decided to buy one box each of black bean and corn bread. Just to note, the corn bread sold out for the 8:00 batch right after me, and the black bean bread was already sold out by 8:00. The corn bread was warm and not covered, while the black bean bread was covered when handed over. I bought 10 pieces for 3000 yen as a souvenir for my in-laws! Quite a pricey souvenir! But it's not just expensive, the dough and shape of the black bean and corn bread are different, and I think they are unique compared to other shops. The black bean bread from Biei Wheat Workshop can be bought individually for 250 yen each, while this shop only offers 5 for 1500 yen, making it a souvenir price.

I arrived at New Chitose Airport just after 9 am and went straight to the shop, but the 10 am batch was already sold out. The next available slots were at 12:30 or 12:40, or maybe even 1 pm, it was still uncertain. Some people, including one who came all the way from Tokyo, decided to wait for the next batch and a waiting line started forming. Unfortunately, I had to give up due to my travel schedule. When I inquired about the evening baking time, I was told it would be around 3 pm or 4 pm, which was too late for my flight back home. The baking time was not available beforehand and only announced on the day, making it quite challenging. Therefore, on a certain weekday morning, I arrived at New Chitose Airport from Sapporo by the first JR train. I was already the 7th person in line by 6:35 am, with more people lining up behind me. The shop opened at 8 am, and the transparent shutter was closed, creating an intense atmosphere. At 6:45 am, a rope was set up for the line. The kitchen lights turned on. The work could only be done by 1-2 people in a small space. At 7 am, the preparation for packing paper bags and bread boxes began inside the shop. There were 21 people in line. Everyone was taking photos of the closed shops and signs. At 7:10 am, the staff started handing out bread tickets for corn bread and bean bread. The corn bread sold out quickly, and only bean bread was left for those around the 20th position in line. A brave woman even told someone who sneakily cut in line to go back. Well done! It was possible to briefly leave the line for the restroom by informing the staff. At 7:15 am, there were still a few boxes of bean bread left. At 7:20 am, the shutter opened, and a delightful smell filled the air. At 7:30 am, a person who happened to come by got the last ticket for bean bread. At 7:45 am, the freshly baked corn bread was being packed into boxes. At 7:55 am, the sales began. I finished my purchase by 8 am and was advised to wait for the bread to cool before closing the lid of the box. It felt like a long battle had finally ended. I wanted to enjoy the warm bread, so I headed to a table in the airport food court. The airport was still quiet. The paper bags and boxes were designed to showcase the bread's visual appeal, enhancing the brand power. The bean bread (available only at 8 am) had a beautiful presentation with various beans neatly arranged on top of the dough. The beans were not overcooked, and the bread was moist and flavorful. Even the simple white dough had bits of beans inside. I enjoyed the rich taste of beans and flour from Ebetsu Seifun, which helped me relax. After it cooled down, I lightly spread unsalted butter and warmed it in the microwave, which preserved the moisture of the beans. The corn bread (available about 4 times a day, with no sales after 4 pm) had an irresistible sweet corn aroma when it was still warm! When you break it open, the corn spills out generously, bringing a smile to your face. The crispy texture of the corn and the jam-like dough were unique and delightful. The dough's composition and shaping were impressive, as it remained soft but held its shape well. I could see the kitchen, and it was amazing how they could pack so many corn pieces in the center. After it cooled down, reheating it was a must. I also enjoyed changing the flavor with black pepper, soy sauce, or butter. The bakery from Biei Sengaku was selling only about 30 to 40 boxes per batch, attracting customers from all over the country with their platinum tickets. The bar was set too high, but if I ever come back to New Chitose, I would definitely make time to buy these breads again. Thank you to the staff for the wonderful experience.

Following my friend's recommendation, I waited for an hour before the pastries were ready! Just as instructed, I got two boxes. Even though I felt 100% embarrassed among the girls, I finally managed to get them. My friend, on the other hand, finished a box of 5 pastries just 15 minutes after they were ready, exclaiming, "Delicious! Delicious!" Well, they must be really tasty. It was nice to see them smiling. Highly recommended.

The 9:40 batch seems to have run out, and even on weekdays, there is quite a line. Eating it right after buying it on the spot seems to be the most delicious. No matter how hard I try, the bean bread is of a high quality to purchase. I have only eaten it once.

Visited at 1:30 PM on June 16, 2023. This "Biei Sankaku" shop is operated by JA Biei and was selected as one of the top 100 bread shops. The popular items are the bean bread and corn bread, which can be enjoyed freshly baked. There was already a line, and each person was limited to purchasing 2 items. I managed to get just one corn bread as I forgot to take a photo. Despite the shop being open until 8 PM, they were already sold out. The bread was indeed delicious, but I wonder why they don't make more. Thank you for the meal.
