Last year, I was researching a restaurant to have lunch at during the balloon festival, but couldn't make it there. Hot air balloons are very sensitive to wind, so I checked the weather forecast the day before making a reservation. I thought I had a general idea of where the place was, but the long gravel road leading to the restaurant made me anxious because I couldn't see any signs of a building. Finally, I spotted a sign on the right side and a fancy building deep in the woods, which put my mind at ease. The building was so cute and charming, with everything from the sign, furniture, to tableware creating a unified atmosphere. It's definitely a place that would appeal to women. I apologize for this old man's intrusion. Among the various pizza and set combinations available, I chose the "Asahi + Nanairo Set" for 2000 yen. The basic pizza comes with corn, soup cheese, cherry tomatoes, small bread, and a drink of your choice. Most of the ingredients on the menu seem to be sourced from Hokkaido and Tokachi, showing a strong commitment to local produce. Everything I tried was incredibly delicious. If I didn't drive there, I would have loved to enjoy a beer or wine with my meal. Located away from the hustle and bustle of the city, the restaurant offers kind and attentive service from the couple owners in a stylish building, serving delicious food. Though my visit was short, I had a wonderful time. Upper Shihoro Town has many scenic spots like Mikuni Pass, Tausubetsu River Bridge, and Naitai Plateau, making it a great place for a drive with a detour to this restaurant. While walk-ins may be possible if there are available seats, the restaurant is not very large and was fully booked on the day I visited, so I recommend making a reservation in advance for peace of mind.

I had a relaxing time in a calm atmosphere. The pizza had a perfect balance of dough and toppings, and it looked beautiful and tasted delicious. I would like to visit again in warmer weather. Thank you for the meal.

I visited a newly opened pizza restaurant. The lovely couple who moved here from Kansai make delicious pizzas using wheat from Tokachi. The pizzas were soft and fluffy. We ordered 3 pizzas for 4 people, which was just right. There were many choices, but my favorite was the "Hidamari" pizza. Reservations are required, so please check the website and give it a try.

Sairo (Sairo) 2022.03.20 What I can do now is to support at least the food and beverage industry while being careful enough. Let's all work together and make it happen ✨ Yesterday was the annual (unpleasant) March snow ⛄️ I'm glad it's not today. Today, I checked on Instagram, saw a post by my admired and respected "Captain Haru," and learned about a new inn that opened this month in Kamishihoro. I immediately made a reservation and visited "Sairo - Travel, Pizza, and Inn" for the first time (^-^)/ @sairo_kamishihoro. The location is in Kamishihoro Town, near the Kamishihoro Line in Kamiomofu Kamishihoro. The exterior looks like it could be in a picture book, with a cute yellow two-story building. The interior is cute and cozy, with currently two 4-seater tables. I made a reservation for 11:00. The lunch operating days are Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, by complete reservation only. The menu includes: Set A: 2,000 yen~ Set B: 2,800 yen~ Your favorite Puzzle: Plus 1,500 yen I reserved Set B for 2,800 yen (tax included). ★ Puzzle (Hoshizukiyo): 1,800 yen (tax included) ★ Set: 1,500 yen (tax included) Total: 3,300 yen (tax included) In about 15 minutes, I received: ☆ Your favorite Pizza ☆ Homemade mini bread ☆ Soup ☆ Assorted appetizers ☆ Drink ☆ Mini dessert The pizza is stone-baked, with a chewy crust and delicious cheese. The scallops on the Starry Night pizza are plump and delicious. The aroma of flower onions, rock salt, and mugwort is very tasty. The appetizer consists of Swiss chard, cheese, prosciutto, scallops, and salad greens. The prosciutto is aged for 1 year, with just the right amount of saltiness and delicious flavor. The friendly and polite young couple who run the place took good care of us, providing information on the snow conditions this morning and reminding us to be careful on our way. They also explained the menu in advance, and we had a delicious and happy time. They even saw us off until we got into our car. It was truly a wonderful dining experience. I will definitely come back to enjoy the pizza. Thank you for the meal. Sairo - Business hours: 11:00-15:00 (First session 11:00, Second session 13:00), 17:00-21:00 - Operating days: Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays

This is a newly opened pizza restaurant. They use Tokachi flour for the pizza dough and Hokkaido cheese, with detailed information on the menu. Set menus include soup, cheese, homemade bread, and after-meal drinks (coffee, black tea, herbal tea), cheesecake, and ice cream. Personally, I recommend the pizza with four types of cheese, it's delicious.

Last February, I discovered the restaurant's Instagram account with its 6th post! By late August, I had visited the place and was looking forward to it, only to find out that it was featured in Hokkaido Shimbun and Hokkaido Shimbun Press in September (expecting it to be crowded). The grand opening was on March 6th, and reservations were limited in March and April, so I cheekily tagged along with journalist K. Kubo from Hokkaido Shimbun who was doing coverage. I had them make a reservation for me and visited the restaurant "Sairo" which is a newly built establishment with a fox-colored theme. The first floor serves as a dining area and the second floor is a residence, which was a deciding factor for my relocation as it offers a view of the Naitai Kogen in the distance. The place sits on a land of about 5000 square meters and there are also old buildings that used to be cowsheds, adding to the charming atmosphere. Upon entering the restaurant, you change into fabric room shoes and are greeted by fox figurines scattered around, a wood stove, high ceilings, and large windows allowing the warm Hokkaido sun to shine in, creating a cozy space. The Launch Set includes the basic "Asahi (Asahi) for 1300 yen" pizza, which can be changed to your favorite pizza for an additional fee (I think). The A Set for 2000 yen includes pizza, homemade mini bread, soup, a post-meal drink, and a mini dessert. The B Set for 2800 yen includes the A Set plus an appetizer platter. I requested one of each set when making the reservation, and upon being seated, I carefully examined the menu and ordered the Hanamoe Negi (Flower Spring Onion) for 1500 yen (basic +200 yen). The appetizer featured fresh vegetables from Yumoso Farm, "Shiawase" cheese from Ashiyoro Cheese Factory, one-year aged ham from Hamon Minakami in Gunma Prefecture, and scallops with wasabi greens from Yumoso Farm in Hokkaido served as a salad. The soup was a potage made with Daisho Kin Tokitoki Hime from Kamishihoro, "Shiawase" cheese from Ashiyoro Cheese Factory, and homemade mini bread. The pizza was served one at a time to ensure you enjoy it fresh from the oven. The video of the pizza being sliced by the owner was posted on Instagram. The pizza, named "Asahi," is made with about 70% Yumechikara super-strong flour (as using 100% would make it difficult to stretch, so the rest is blended with Haruyoko Koi, Kitanokaori, and Kitahonami). The crust was particularly chewy and delicious. The homemade tomato sauce was not heavily used, but it packed a concentrated tomato flavor. The pizza also featured fresh mozzarella from Shironuka-cho Rakueisha, and basil freshly picked from an indoor potted plant, along with a nice wood-fired aroma. The Hanamoe Negi (Flower Spring Onion) was packed with soft white onions! The cheese (Tantaka: Shironuka-cho Rakueisha) and onions paired surprisingly well. The mini dessert included New York cheesecake and apple cinnamon milk ice cream. The rich cheesecake and cinnamon-flavored milk ice cream with cooked apples were delicious. The herbal tea with lemon balm was also fragrant and tasty. The restaurant is named "Sairo" using one character from the owner's name. They plan to create a garden with grass and flower beds, an open-air bath for glamping, and even a small fox-colored building for accommodation in the future, making it an even more exciting place to visit. The day before the grand opening, the owner saw a real fox for the first time (previously only seeing its footprints). I have a feeling that this place will become quite popular. I'm planning to visit again around May for accommodation and glamping coverage, as I'm eager to return to this place. Since the seating is limited (I believe it's a maximum of 2 groups), I think it might be better to keep it reservation-only rather than risk not getting a seat by just dropping by in the future.

★Pizza★ Great place for pizza lovers! The crust was crispy and the toppings were generous. The service was quick and friendly. Will definitely be coming back again.
