I have been here many times, so I don't usually write reviews, but I wanted to share my thoughts on the Gorgonzola plate this time. The hamburger made from beef raised by the owner is lean and flavorful, seasoned with salt and pepper to bring out the natural taste of the meat. The Gorgonzola sauce on the plate is unique and adds a strong blue cheese aroma that enhances the simplicity of the hamburger. The chunky potatoes and carrots, a signature of Country Kitchen, complement the cheese and meat flavors well. The Capricciosa pizza with pastrami and asparagus was also delicious. The hot plate arrived bubbling, and the combination of cheese and meat was perfect. I enjoyed alternating between the hot plate and the pizza, adding some of the restaurant's original chili-infused oil for extra flavor. Although I usually choose rice with the plate, I thought bread would be a good option to savor the Gorgonzola sauce completely. However, I will probably choose rice again next time.

This is a popular restaurant near Asahiyama Zoo, frequented by locals as well. Their hamburg steak is especially popular. I visited for lunch and had the Gouda cheese hamburg steak for 1480 yen and the Haskap yogurt parfait for 650 yen. The hamburg steak was delicious. The Haskap yogurt parfait had a refreshing acidity and was very tasty. The restaurant was busy with customers coming in one after another, but the turnover was fast. They also sell various souvenirs near the register, and there were many customers getting soft serve ice cream to go.

I visited a restaurant famous for its huge pork cutlet set meal near the zoo. I ordered something called a Hamburg Dome! It's a hamburger wrapped in pilaf, then baked on a hot plate with plenty of cheese sauce. It was delicious and filling, but my son thought it was a bit pricey. I wonder if I'll visit again?

Today, my daughter and I visited the restaurant. When my daughter was younger, we used to come here often. My daughter, who loves pizza, had the beef and okonomiyaki cheese, while I had the recommended ribeye steak. The steak was so tender and delicious, and it even came with wasabi which added to the flavor. The hamburger also looked tempting, but I'm glad I splurged on the steak. I even had a beer before the meal, which was rare for me. For dessert, my daughter enjoyed the mini okonomiyaki souffle. It was delicious and she loved it. It was a satisfying and filling meal after a long time.

2023.06.09 (Fri) 18:20 It's been a week since my first visit, and I've been working hard. I'll be staying in Asahikawa this weekend as well. I felt like having dinner out to change things up. I wanted to eat hamburger, so I visited this restaurant. As expected on this cloudy evening, there were no other customers. I ordered the recommended menu item of Omu Agri Farm's Angus beef hamburger steak rice bowl (1,580 yen). It arrived in 15 minutes. The hamburger was packed tightly. There was no juiciness at all. It was surprisingly absent. You can clearly taste that it's 100% beef. It was probably made mostly with lean meat. Some people may like this dense and refreshing type of hamburger. The vegetables like carrots and potatoes were average. The carrots didn't have an outstanding freshness in terms of texture. Compared to the satisfaction after eating, it left an impression of being a bit expensive. Considering the operating hours and the distance from my home, I may have the opportunity to visit again. Next time, I would like to try the mixed plate that I've been curious about and evaluate it. Thank you for the meal.

I went for lunch at a popular restaurant in Asahikawa. We arrived a bit earlier than 12 o'clock, so we didn't have to wait to be seated. I had the Basil and Mozzarella Tomato Sauce Pasta for ¥1000 and the Farm Gratin Lunch for ¥1250. The pasta was topped with plenty of cheese but was light and easy to eat, and the gratin was delicious with a rich milk flavor. It truly felt like Hokkaido! The meal also came with bread and was quite filling.

Today I had a delicious hamburger in Asahikawa at the North Plain Farm in Kofu Town. The meat was juicy and tasty, with lots of vegetables. The cooking was perfect. I used to dislike vegetables like corn and broccoli, but after trying the vegetables here, I realized how delicious they can be. I am grateful for this restaurant. I will definitely visit again. It's located near Asahiyama Zoo, which is nice.

The yogurt made with Hokkaido milk was delicious, almost like cream. The coffee jelly had a rich aroma and depth, very tasty! The soft serve ice cream was also delicious. Located just a few minutes drive from Asahiyama Zoo, Farmer's Restaurant is a great place to satisfy your sweet cravings. The interior is stylish with a lot of wood, creating a cozy atmosphere perfect for enjoying tea. They offer small-sized parfaits at a reasonable price, making it a great spot for a sweet treat. I had the Haskap yogurt parfait (small size for 500 yen) which had a nice tartness from the Haskap berries. The yogurt made with Hokkaido milk was smooth and creamy, more like a soft serve with reduced fat content. It was delicious and just the right amount of sweetness. Highly recommended. The coffee jelly parfait (small size for 450 yen) had a strong and authentic coffee flavor with a rich aroma and depth. The coffee jelly was well-made and you could taste the effort put into it. However, the soft serve ice cream was good but lacked richness and punch, leaving a slightly unsatisfying feeling.

Soft Serve Ice Cream Cup 350 yen After eating, I had soft serve ice cream at Esperio. The restaurant across from Kuma-kko Ramen serves delicious soft serve ice cream. The milk soft serve ice cream, not too sweet and refreshing, was addictive. Parking tends to fill up on holidays. It's been hot lately, but let's get through it by enjoying delicious soft serve ice cream.

The North Plain Farm's direct store in Okabe has a spacious parking lot, plenty of parking spaces, a large and stylish interior, perfect for Instagram photos. The menu is extensive and reasonably priced, with delicious cakes, soft serve ice cream, coffee jelly, and pudding. The cakes have a rich aroma of fermented butter, the pudding is made with "The Egg Pudding" which I love, and the soft serve ice cream has the perfect balance of creaminess and sweetness. The coffee jelly has a refreshing taste. Overall, it was a delightful and satisfying visit to this wonderful farm restaurant. I look forward to trying their meals next time!

Located in Higashi-Asahikawa-cho, Asahikawa City, close to Asahiyama Zoo, this farm restaurant is affiliated with the popular North Plain Farm in Okoppe-cho. Known for their high-quality hamburgers, pizzas, steaks, and soft serve ice cream, this restaurant is always busy, with a wait time of around 30 minutes on weekends. I decided to try the Mozzarella Hamburger Plate for 1,700 yen, which came with bread (rice is also an option) and the choice of adding salad and a drink for an additional 200 yen. I opted for coffee as my drink. Of course, I couldn't leave without trying their soft serve ice cream, which I ordered in a cup for 360 yen after my meal. The salad was simple and fresh, with lettuce, tomato, and daikon radish. The Mozzarella Hamburger Plate arrived 15 minutes later, featuring a juicy hamburger topped with plenty of melted mozzarella cheese and tomato sauce. Made with locally sourced lean beef, the hamburger was bursting with flavor. The side dishes included skin-on potatoes, bacon, sausage, broccoli, and carrots, all of which were satisfying, but the standout was the fluffy skin-on potatoes. After the meal, I enjoyed the soft serve ice cream made with fresh Okoppe cow milk, which had a mild sweetness and a rich milky flavor. The takeout corner at the entrance was also popular, with people buying soft serve ice cream and the famous cheese pudding.

I wanted to eat a delicious parfait, so I visited after 4 pm. It was empty! I ordered a Coffee Jelly Parfait in size M, but the soft serve ice cream was so delicious that I couldn't stop eating it. Next time, when I order the Coffee Jelly Parfait, I plan to ask for it without the powder (maybe cocoa powder?) sprinkled on the soft serve. I didn't like it (maybe it's just me...).

The other day, I wanted to go for lunch at the top-ranked restaurant because it was delicious. Since it was Saturday, I avoided the busy hours and went around 2:30 PM. Last time I had the Red Meat Grated Japanese-style Hamburg, so this time I tried the Red Meat Foil-baked Hamburg. My husband had the Esperio Hamburg. Both were simply seasoned and delicious! The potatoes baked in foil had absorbed the flavors and tasted like delicious Nikujaga (meat and potato stew). I received a coupon last time and the Mini Soft Serve ice cream portion was surprisingly generous. Today, I had decided on the Rum Raisin Parfait, but since the rum was soaked in, I skipped it. Instead, I had the Haskap Yogurt Parfait. The sweet and sour Haskap sauce with soft serve ice cream was perfect! There was a little yogurt under the Haskap ice cream, but it was refreshing. The aftertaste was excellent. This place is remarkable for its direct competition of flavors from the ingredients. The confidence in the ingredients allows them to keep the flavors light. When having hamburg and parfait elsewhere, I usually get full quickly, but there's no need to worry about that here. I finished both the Mini Soft Serve and Parfait without any problem. A truly delicious restaurant. I am curious about other menu items, but I have a feeling I will go for the hamburg again next time.

I have come to this place several times to eat soft serve ice cream, but it's always crowded on weekends and I had to give up and go back home several times... A restaurant I've always wanted to try. Suddenly, I had the chance to have lunch on a weekday, so I decided to come today... and it was surprisingly empty, probably due to the current situation. Finally, I got to have the lunch I've been wanting. I had the grated Japanese-style hamburger steak set with red meat, and my partner had the Margherita set. The hamburger steak was simple in flavor and came with a generous portion of locally grown vegetables. It was delicious with a light seasoning, which was a pleasant surprise as I was expecting a rich sauce. (The soft serve ice cream had a fluffy smell when I bought it) You never know until you try it. For dessert, we had the baked apple and black tea parfait. It was the ultimate parfait with delicious soft serve ice cream. The fact that it doesn't use whipped cream is also great! The combination of delicious ice cream, soft serve ice cream, and baked apple was the best and strongest. It was so delicious that I will definitely visit again soon.

Honestly, I had high expectations because everyone's reviews were good, but it didn't suit my taste. I ordered the Gouda cheese hamburger and the Mozzarella cheese hamburger. Perhaps there was not enough binder? The hamburgers were on the hard side. The Mozzarella one had a very weak tomato sauce flavor and when combined with rice, it was like "hmm." The cheese was also thin for the price, and I think the hamburgers at Bikkuri Donkey are tastier. Was the rice not enough? Suddenly, frozen rice that seemed overcooked in the microwave came out, and the dry, hard rice took away all the moisture in my mouth. It wasn't delicious, so I left it. The staff's eye contact, attentiveness, and register service were good, so it's a shame. The atmosphere inside the restaurant and the paper mask holder they gave were thoughtful.

Mixed Plate - 1480 yen Today's lunch was at Esperio. It was a hot day, but I decided to go for the hot mixed plate. It included hamburger, sausage, bacon, and vegetables. The vegetables were delicious and satisfying. The hamburger had a nice meaty flavor.

I had soft serve ice cream at Esperio for my afternoon snack. The milk soft serve here has a great flavor just like pure milk, and it's light and not too rich, so I really like it. It's busy during lunchtime. On weekends, there can be a line for the soft serve as well. In addition to soft serve ice cream, they also have dairy products, desserts, and pudding, so it's also good for souvenirs.

On the way to Asahiyama Zoo, there is a large parking lot along the main road. The lunch menu includes hamburgers, pizza, and pasta as the main options. Around noon, there may be a line to wait in. The seasoning is simple and not too strong. The vegetables are cut into large pieces and taste like natural vegetables. This time, I didn't have any soft serve ice cream, but I highly recommend trying it.

Managed to avoid the flight cancellation caused by Typhoon No. 19 and comfortably moved to Asahikawa in the morning on the Lilac train. After revisiting Asahiyama Zoo, we went to this restaurant near the zoo at the request of my partner. The parking lot was spacious, and there were many customers who came just for soft serve ice cream, so we quickly found a space. We waited in the waiting area near the cashier. It was the first day of the three-day weekend, and although there were fewer tourists due to the flight cancellations, we still had to wait for 8 groups ahead of us. In the end, we waited 50 minutes to be seated and another 20 minutes for our food to arrive. The service was very polite, and there was no sense of rush, but we were kept waiting leisurely. I ordered the red meat hamburger with grated daikon, and my companion ordered the gratin. The salad was served first, but after we finished it and the plate was cleared, another salad was brought to us. The Hokkaido vegetables were delicious, and although we could have had seconds, we declined. The set drink, black tea, was average. The red meat hamburger with grated daikon was served on a hot iron plate. The meat appeared small and compact, but it was packed with quality meat, low in fat, and provided a good chewy texture with meat juices. It tasted even better when topped with the special sauce. The vegetables were cut into large pieces. They were tasty and filling. The hot gratin with garlic toast was also delicious. The Akkeshi yogurt drink we had while waiting was sweetened, but refreshing with the use of natural sweeteners. Waiting for an hour during sightseeing can be tough... It might be better to set some time limits if possible.

When I visited Asahiyama Zoo, I had lunch here. The restaurant had a nice wooden interior and even though it was a Friday afternoon, it was still packed after 2 PM. The lunch menu included hamburgers, pasta, and pizza. I tried the Esperio hamburger and pizza. The hamburger was a bit lacking in sauce, but the vegetables served with it were really delicious. Even my son, who doesn't like vegetables, enjoyed them. The fresh vegetables in the salad were also amazing. Hokkaido truly is impressive! The cheese on the pizza was excellent, probably because they sell cheese. I also ordered the cheese chiffon cake, which was fluffy and delicious. It wasn't a sweet cheesecake, but a cake made of cheese, and it was also amazing. Highly recommended! ♡

August 2019. chappytsum visited Hokkaido for the second time. The first time was a solo trip, and the second time was a family trip. From now on, I will be sharing the Hokkaido family trip edition for a while. Please stay tuned until the end. The destination for the first day is Asahikawa. Since I am traveling with a 9-month-old baby, I try not to travel long distances. Well, I ended up traveling quite a distance on the second and third days, but I'll save that for later... First stop is "Esperio" for lunch. When we arrived at exactly 12 o'clock, there were already several groups waiting. With a 9-month-old baby, it would have been nice to have a sunken kotatsu-style seating, but unfortunately, there were only regular chairs. Surprisingly, my baby seemed to really like the child's chair we tried for the first time, so that was a relief. During the wait, I fed my baby some baby food. Bringing baby food from home was allowed. The mixed plate had a crispy salad with a delicious Japanese-style dressing. The milk was rich yet refreshing, making it easy to drink. The hamburger was not juicy but solid, with a meaty flavor that was delicious. The vegetables like carrots and potatoes were also good. It's no wonder this place is popular.
