【Takeout】The closest Lawson convenience store chain to JR Shin-Sapporo Station is located on the 2nd floor walkway of the Ark City Hotel building. On March 18, 2023, at 6:30 am, revisiting with a JR one-day free pass to go to Toyoura Town, there are limited patterns available. You need to arrive in the morning and take the third train to Higashi-Muroran for a leisurely hot spring course. Before boarding that train, stop by Lawson to get a hot coffee in size M for 180 yen. The taste, flavor, and coffee quality are from the machine, but it is piping hot, which is the highlight. Now that you have a seat, enjoy a relaxed two-hour ride to Higashi-Muroran.

Convenience store series. Today is LAWSON^^ ◎ Blanc Moist Vanilla Roll (2 pieces) / 135 yen This is a roll cake from the Blanc series (*). (*): Bread and cakes made with wheat bran, low in sugar and low in calories. I want to maintain my figure while enjoying delicious food, so I sometimes try low-calorie desserts^^ This roll cake is 109kcal per piece. Normally, it would be around 160-200kcal, so it's significantly reduced in calories. Low-calorie bread and cakes are often dry and not tasty, but this one is moist and quite good. It also has a proper "vanilla roll" flavor. ───────────────── And the other one I bought is, ◎ Home Pie Mimi / 135 yen The end part of a home pie is crispy and delicious, right? Only the delicious part is included^^ Crispy, sugary and crunchy. Mmm, delicious. Eating a low-calorie roll cake and this, well, it doesn't really make sense (laughs) Oh well, it's okay (*^ω^)

【Takeout】The nearest Lawson convenience store chain from JR Sapporo Station is located right on the 2nd floor walkway of the Arc City Hotel building. Visited again on December 11, 2017 at 7 pm. It was my first time using Lawson this year as I usually only go to the nearby 7-Eleven to buy steamed buns. I rarely use convenience stores otherwise. I only eat sweet Chinese buns, so I have no interest in the meat, curry, or pizza buns. However, when I went into the store this time, I saw chocolate buns and decided to buy one. The rich chocolate bun costs 140 yen and is similar to last season's version. Despite the higher price, it has a touch of luxury. The thick chocolate inside is delicious. The store is always crowded due to its location.

【Takeout】At JR Shin-Sapporo Station, go out of the ticket gate and head to the second floor along the connecting passage to find a Lawson convenience store on the second floor of Ark City Hotel. They offer fried foods all year round, and Chinese buns are available only during the winter season. The operating hours and alcohol availability are unconfirmed, so I will check next time. In late July 2013, this Genkotsu Menchi (fried minced meat patty) priced at 150 yen has been gaining popularity among reviewers, but it's difficult to get due to frequent sell-outs. After visiting several Lawsons, I finally found it! There were about 5 Genkotsu Menchi lined up. I purchased one for a trial this time. It comes with sauce for the minced cutlet. The minced meat has no unpleasant odor and is juicy. It's delicious on its own, but even better when topped with the special sweet sauce. I finished it in no time. Thank you for the meal!

During the state of emergency, I was looking for snacks to have at home while drinking, so I went into LAWSON store and found Hokkaido cheese flavored chips! Unfortunately, the shape of the chips was not Hokkaido-like (lol), but the flavor was a strong cheddar aroma with a hint of cheese following the buttery taste. It goes well with a highball, perfect for quenching my thirst!
