Bullet train trip in Hokkaido. First stop, New Chitose Airport in Sapporo. This airport has amazing gourmet food that you just have to try. Hokkaido cuisine starts at the airport. Hokkaido is known for its fresh soft serve ice cream made with local milk. There are so many famous sweets from Hokkaido available at the airport, it's hard to choose! From Royce chocolate chips, Rokkatei butter sand cookies, LeTao cheesecakes, Kitakaro cream puffs, Sanpachi Roku Yuki, Snaffles cheese omelette, Kinotoya, Morimoto, Chitosean dorayaki, and more. Each shop offers their own soft serve ice cream as well. At Cafe Pronto, you can enjoy Iwase Farm soft serve, and at Snow Brand Parlor, you can try Snow Royal. There are so many options! Biei Senka has popular freshly baked corn bread, and you can even buy the salmon kimchi that SMAP's Nakai recommended at Marui Imai's Kita Kitchen. Unfortunately, the White Lover's store has closed down, but you can still enjoy White Lover's soft serve at Snow Brand Parlor, so no need to worry. Snow Royal costs 375 yen and was specially created for Emperor Showa in 1968. It took two years of trial and error to achieve its smooth texture and rich milk flavor. With a butterfat content of 15.6%, it surpasses Häagen-Dazs! The intense milk flavor is truly remarkable, with a smooth, gentle sweetness. The creaminess is unlike traditional ice cream, with a velvety smoothness that is simply divine. Thank you for the feast! Unfortunately, I couldn't buy the freshly baked corn bread at Biei Senka, so I headed to Saimi in Sapporo!
