Family of 3 went on a monthly trip and decided to have a light lunch. We opted for takeout, and although the appearance of the cream with film on it may not look great, the taste was crispy and satisfying. The atmosphere in the shop was nice, and the service was polite. The shop was almost full, so the takeout took a bit of time, but we were happy and satisfied with the taste. We noticed people lining up at the ramen shop across the street, but we enjoyed Tokiwa Shu (whipped cream) for 460 yen and Tokiwa Sand (hot dog) for 550 yen, along with Shiruko Latte and Strawberry Latte, which were delicious. Thank you for the meal! We promise to visit again next time, this time dining in.

Renovated cafe in Tokiwa-dori, Asahikawa City, with high ratings. This visit marks my fourth time, but it's been three years and three months since my last visit. Popular among locals and tourists alike, the cafe was quite busy around 2:30 pm. The most popular item here is the "Tokiwa-yaki," but they also have a new item called "Tokiwa Choux." I decided to try the "Tokiwa-yaki (Ham Mayo Cheese)" (280 yen, excluding tax), "Tokiwa Choux (Red bean paste whipped cream)" (460 yen), and "Strawberry Milk" (550 yen). Placed my order at the counter, paid, and waited at my table for the food to be served. The Tokiwa-yaki (Ham Mayo Cheese) is shaped like the nearby Asahi Bridge, with a crispy texture similar to Danish pastry and a good combination of ham and cheese. The Tokiwa Choux (Red bean paste whipped cream) is a cut Tokiwa-yaki with red bean paste and whipped cream injected inside, using Hokkaido milk for the whipped cream, which goes well with the red bean paste. The Strawberry Milk features milk poured over strawberry sauce with fruit chunks, offering a delicious and refined taste. The cafe has a great atmosphere, but it would have been even better if the prices were a bit lower.

On my day off, I headed to Asahikawa from Sapporo in the morning. Even though I live in Sapporo, I chose to go to Asahikawa to explore new restaurants that I haven't visited before. Asahikawa is already my third stop of the day, and I arrived at Fukuyoshi Cafe Asahibashi Honten. This historic building was built in 1924 as the former Kitajima Flour Mill, with a unique design combining stone walls and wooden facade. The cafe offers a variety of food options, including buffet, curry, hamburg steak, roast beef, and chicken sauté. I decided to take out two types of Tokiwa-yaki, "Tsubuan" and "Ham Mayonnaise", and enjoyed them at a bench in Tokiwa Park. The Tsubuan had a crispy croissant-like texture with a subtly sweet red bean paste filling, while the Ham Mayonnaise had a balanced flavor of ingredients with a warm and crispy dough. Overall, I was pleased with the quality of the pastries, although a slightly lower price would have been even better. I also looked into the history of Asahibashi, a symbolic bridge in Asahikawa known for its historical significance and architectural beauty.

I wanted to take a morning walk and have a cup of coffee, so I entered the shop as soon as it opened. I ordered coffee and their original Tokiwayaki (red bean paste filling). The interior of the shop is very calm and has a historical atmosphere since it was renovated from a historic building. I wish I had more time to spend there. The coffee and Tokiwayaki were both delicious.

For matcha and hojicha lovers, I highly recommend going here. I ordered the Fukuyoshi Latte and Fukuyoshi Hojicha Latte, and they even gave me a free mini soft serve with my order. I also tried the Tokiwa-yaki and the summer limited Lemon Custard Choco Chip, both were delicious. The freshly made treats were crispy on the outside and refreshing on the inside. I will definitely come back for lunch next time to try more items in the cozy interior.

During a tea break in the middle of sightseeing in Asahikawa City, we visited a charming cafe with a traditional Japanese house interior. The shelves were filled with books about Asahikawa, creating a cozy atmosphere. We ordered the Tokiwa-yaki, a croissant-like pastry with chocolate chips, and a delicious cafe latte made with the Great Daisetsuzan Mountain blend. My companion had a Hojicha latte and the Ham Mayo Cheese Tokiwa-yaki. It was a delightful meal.

It may give the impression of being a place for sweet treats, but in fact, they have a variety of food options besides cafe menu. The lunch menu is also great. The atmosphere is stylish as it is located in an old Japanese house. I had curry before, and this time I tried the hamburger. It's not a huge portion, but it's satisfying. It's not super delicious, but I think it has a lineup that would appeal to women.

I had mistakenly remembered that a calm and warm weather in early winter is called "小春日和" (small spring-like weather). Today is just like that. I arrived at my destination after 12 o'clock. I noticed a nice smell and decided to enter the Fukuyoshi Cafe that I had been curious about. I bought a Tokiwa-yaki (red bean paste) which is a pastry (Danish pastry) that is easy to eat. It's perfect for when you're a little hungry. It's in the shape of Asahi Bridge, so it's easy to eat while walking. The article mentioned that the cafe doesn't have coffee, but it seems to be related to the Cocoma Meiya chain. Thank you for the meal!

I have always liked this restaurant, but the location is a bit tricky with the roundabout. Once you get in, it's hard to find your way out... I once drove around in circles for a while years ago... It was some kind of gathering for advice or something, I think? On the way back, I bought some "taiyaki" and my mind was occupied with that, so I was mostly just nodding along. When I got home and ate the taiyaki, it brought back nostalgic feelings and was quite delicious. The customer service at this restaurant is also very good. I can't seem to conquer the roundabout, so I'll have to be taken there again... Thank you for the meal~ (*´∀`)♪

I visited an old-fashioned o-yaki shop, thinking that I could enjoy not only their famous "Tokiwaki" but also a hearty meal at a nostalgic restaurant. However, it was completely different. The shop is located between Asahibashi, the face of Asahikawa, and the Asahikawa Tokiwa Rotary intersection, with the famous ginger ramen shop "Shoga Ramen Mizuno" across the street. Nearby is Tokiwa Park. The shop, which was originally a collaboration between a local confectionery manufacturer and a Japanese tea specialty store, now offers drinks such as matcha lattes in addition to their signature o-yaki "Tokiwaki" and dishes made with locally sourced beef, pork, and chicken. The shop is housed in the old Kitajima Flour Mill, built in 1924, giving it a historic feel with its beautiful soft stone walls and interior design. The shop is popular among young people, rather than being the nostalgic place I had imagined. The shop was bustling with customers, both dining in and waiting for takeout orders. I ordered a Tokiwaki with sweet red bean paste for 250 yen and a Hokkaido chicken sauté (150g) with salt and pepper for 1050 yen. The Tokiwaki was unique in that it was shaped like Asahibashi and had a special red bean paste, which was delicious with a subtle sweetness. The Hokkaido chicken sauté was hot and tasty, but quite expensive. The menu offered a variety of sauces and the option to choose the amount of meat in three different sizes, making it a bit overwhelming. Overall, the food was delicious but on the pricier side. I recommend getting a latte and Tokiwaki for takeout on a warm day and enjoying them at Tokiwa Park.

I visited after a long time ♬ The last time I came here was... a few years ago, I think I remember guiding a friend who came from Tokyo...? (*^ω^*) Usually, I avoid this area because it's close to the rotary... haha. On this day, I visited after eating delicious ginger ramen for the first time in a while to have coffee after the meal ♬ I remember the previous atmosphere as retro-chic, but were there such cute chairs? There were several young female staff members... all of them were cute and provided good customer service ♬ Since there seem to be many tourists, I hope this shop leaves a good impression as a souvenir from Asahikawa...♪*ﾟ I enjoyed the coffee slowly inside the shop...♪*ﾟ It was delicious with a mild acidity ♬ Also, after a long time... I had 【Tokiwayaki】♬ It looks similar to taiyaki, but it's a bit different... It has a pie-like texture and the surface is crispy ♬ There are several varieties, so I bought some as souvenirs. My family also enjoyed it and we warmed it lightly in the toaster oven and enjoyed it (*´∀`)♪ I hope for the day when people from all over the country can visit Asahikawa for sightseeing as usual...♪*ﾟ Thank you for the meal~(*´∀｀*)

I visited the "Fukuyoshi Cafe Asahibashi Main Store" in Asahikawa City for the first time. It is a cafe renovated from a building dating back to the Taisho era. The spacious and relaxing atmosphere makes you feel the history. I ordered the "Fukuyoshi Latte 572 yen" and my companion ordered the "Fukuyoshi Sundae 693 yen". The "Fukuyoshi Latte" has layers of Biei-produced red bean paste, Uji matcha, and Hokkaido milk, creating a beautiful contrast. It looks so beautiful that I hesitated a bit to mix it before drinking. It is a delicious Japanese-style latte with just the right amount of sweetness. The "Fukuyoshi Sundae" allows you to enjoy the flavors of red bean paste, Uji matcha, and milk soft serve all at once, creating a "Japanese-style dessert". It was delicious to taste each aroma and flavor separately. This cafe also offers a variety of meal options, and I would like to try the popular "Tokiwaki" on my next visit.

Gourmet Journey Part 7 - Hokkaido Crossing Edition (Ashikawa Region with Extreme Temperature Differences) Located near the Jokawajinja Shrine, just a short walk from the Ashikawa Jampu Rotary, this restaurant has an old-fashioned exterior with a modern twist. It is a renovated historic building, the former Kitajima Flour Mill built in 1924. It has even been recognized by the "Ashikawa Historical Building Preservation Society". It's commendable that people appreciate it, but it seems like a limited recognition, haha. Anyway, it's nice to see local young people preserving the old culture in a contemporary way and revitalizing the area. It could be a theme for a novel! I tried: - Fukuyoshi Latte 520 yen - Tokiwa Yaki (Red Bean) 250 yen - Tokiwa Yaki (Ham Mayo Cheese) 270 yen Total: 1,040 yen First, the Fukuyoshi Latte. It's a drink made with matcha, milk, and red bean, a tried and tested combination that tastes really good. The red bean isn't too sweet, making it easy to drink. The wide straw allows the red bean bits to flow through, which was a nice touch. It's a drink that would appeal to those who like sweet Japanese-style drinks! Next, the Tokiwa Yaki. The crispy outer layer wraps the filling nicely, giving it a croissant-like texture. Unlike the drink, the red bean in this was sweet, so eating it with the latte made it a bit too sweet. The Ham Mayo was salty, so it paired well with the sweet drink, and the croissant and ham combination was delicious on its own. Overall, the drinks, food, and interior were well thought out and beautifully presented, giving off a trendy vibe that's becoming more popular in places like Nihonbashi and Tokyo Station. For those looking for a cozy cafe with a great ambiance near Ashikawa Station to enjoy a leisurely breakfast, I highly recommend this place!

I had soft serve ice cream at "Fukuyoshi Cafe Asahibashi Main Store" near Asahibashi Rotary in Asahikawa, located at 2-1970-1 Tokiwadori, Asahikawa City. The soft serve was large and cost 421 yen including tax. The cafe opened in March 2016 and now has a branch in Fukuko, Higashi-ku, Sapporo. This was my second visit, and I had previously tried their Tokiwaki. The menu includes various options such as soft serve in a cup or cone starting from 390 yen before tax, different types of Tokiwaki starting from 250 yen before tax, and Tokiwa Shu for 400 yen before tax. They also offer rice dishes like Keema Curry starting from 890 yen before tax, Tokiwa Sandwich, Japanese Plate, kids' menu, drinks, and sweet red bean soup. It's been hot lately, with temperatures exceeding 30 degrees Celsius, so soft serve ice cream is a great choice. Enjoy!

At the 4th anniversary Thanks Fair, the additional whipped cream on the Tokiwa-yaki was free. The Tokiwa-yaki Custard with whipped cream added was irresistible for those with a sweet tooth, with a smooth and happy taste. The Sake Kasu Anko with whipped cream added had the flavor of Kasu from Takasago Sake Brewery. The delicious azuki beans combined with the flavor of Kasu were very tasty. Thank you for the meal!

Fukuyoshi Cafe offers takeout with 4 items. The pork burger was juicy and delicious. The Keema curry was spicy and the red bean paste blended well. I also added whipped red bean paste to the Tokiwa grilled dish, which was satisfying to eat. The soft serve ice cream was rich and milky.

A cafe that I always stop by when I go to Asahikawa. To be honest, the taste is nothing special, just average. But the sweets shaped like Asahi Bridge look amazing. The stylish building and lovely atmosphere make this cafe a great place to visit. Plus, it's conveniently located right in front of a bus stop, so you can wait until the last minute to catch your bus.

Tokiwaki! I feel like eating it regularly. You can also take it home, so I recommend it (photo of the one I took home). Is the red bean paste still the most popular? The cheese curry was also delicious! The menu is extensive, and there are still many things I haven't tried, so I want to go again. Tapioca and more!

This is from last summer's trip to Hokkaido. Fukuyoshi Cafe in Asahikawa. The red bean and matcha latte here was so amazing, and the atmosphere inside the cafe made me feel like I wanted to stay longer. I love the vibe of cafes I visit while traveling. This place will definitely be a memorable one.
