Bekochichi Factory in Rumoi, Hokkaido is the reason we traveled all the way here! The soft serve ice cream here is delicious, which is why we drove 3 hours to get here! The pumpkin soft serve, regular soft serve, and cheese soft serve were all tasty! However, it's a bit far, so next time I'd like to stop by before or after going to Wakkanai City! We bought some pumpkin here and my wife made a delicious pumpkin potage soup with it - it was sweet and tasty! #Hokkaido #Rumoi #BekochichiFactory #SoftServeIceCream #Cheese

This is our 300th time at this soft serve ice cream shop, which is the number one in Hokkaido, known for its thriving dairy farming in the north and east. The soft serve ice cream here has not changed in 8 years, made with freshly squeezed milk. It is incredibly rich yet refreshing, melts easily without any additives. It is so delicious that we always end up wanting a second one. Normally, my wife and I share one ice cream, but when we come to Rimo in Abashiri (gelato) or here, we each order one. It may be a bit out of the way from Wakkanai, but I recommend taking a detour on the Orolo Line to visit this place.

The milk flavor is strong but not too sweet. Toppings are also recommended.

The soft serve has a strong milk flavor but not too rich aftertaste. They offer a variety of cheeses but the customer service made me annoyed so I didn't buy anything. Won't be going back again.

The soft serve ice cream was delicious(((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o)))♡I have to go back to eat it again ε=ε=ε=ε=ε=ε=┌(^○^)┘ ===========

When you drive on Route 40 from Otoineppu Village to Teshio Town, you will come across this shop. Although your navigation system may guide you off Route 40, if you continue on Route 40, you will arrive at the shop. The milk, which is hand-squeezed, is produced on the Watanabe Ranch on the same day. As you enter Teshio Town, you will see more ranches where cows are raised on vast land. The milk from these cows is used to make delicious soft serve ice cream and cheese. The freshly squeezed milk soft serve ice cream (300 yen) has a unique texture due to being additive-free, making it irresistible. It's best enjoyed fresh. This is a great place to take a break and relax on your way to Wakkanai. The shop is only open on Fridays (summer only), Saturdays, and Sundays, but the quality of their products makes it worth a visit. I bought some cheese as a souvenir.

On the way to Wakkanai, I took a short break in Tenpoku-cho and came across "Bekochichi Factory" on the left side while heading north on Route 40. I tried their milk soft serve (300 yen) as shown in the picture. The soft serve was overflowing in the cone, unlike the slim servings in other photos I saw. But the most shocking thing was the outstanding sweetness of the soft serve! However, it had a refreshing aftertaste, so it wasn't overly sweet at all! I've tried soft serves from various places in Hokkaido, but this one at Bekochichi Factory is currently my top favorite. Alright, recharged and ready for the final stretch to Wakkanai! Oh, I want to have another one already. ^^;

I visited the restaurant recommended by a colleague at work and I was impressed by the variety of cheeses displayed in the Bechichi Factory showcase. With the help of the staff, I decided to try the cheese tofu with wasabi soy sauce, which was highly recommended. They also had unique options like miso-marinated cheese and cheese kimchi! The soft-serve ice cream was delicious too! I definitely want to visit again to complete my cheese tasting experience. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

This is "Bekochi FACTORY" located along National Route 40 in Teshio Town, Teshio District. I stopped by on my way back from Asahikawa to Wakkanai the other day. Bekochi offers various cheeses and soft serve ice cream made from milk from Watanabe Farm. They have 4 counter seats inside where you can enjoy your treats. The soft serve ice cream comes in flavors like milk and national sake lees. I tried the milk soft serve (300 yen) and it was delicious, perfect for a break during a drive. Bekochi FACTORY is located at Tatsuneushi, Teshio Town, Teshio District, phone number 01632-4-355. Open Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays from 10:00 to 17:00 from May to October, and Saturdays and Sundays from 10:00 to 16:00 from November to April. You can also order cheese online on their website.

After being moved by the delicious "Otoikosoba", I headed towards Wakkanai on Route 40. Along the way, I came across a log house with a green roof in a wide gravel area. The surroundings were mostly grasslands, making it stand out even while focusing on driving. Several flags were displayed outside, indicating it was some kind of shop. I parked my car in front of the building and saw a sign that read "Handmade Cheese" and "Farm Soft Serve Ice Cream", with vegetables being sold as well. The shop's name was "Bekochichi Factory", clearly indicating it was a dairy product shop. The opening hours were quite limited, only open from May to October, 3 days a week on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. They sold cheese year-round, but soft serve ice cream was only available from May to October. The shop had a cozy and homely atmosphere, with a variety of unique cheeses on display. I decided to try the "Haskap" flavored soft serve ice cream, which was a limited-time offering due to the low harvest of Haskap berries that year. The ice cream was smooth and had a slight purple hue from the Haskap berries. It was sweet and tangy, with a creamy texture that started melting as soon as I got it. Despite the limited availability, I highly recommend trying this rare and delicious soft serve ice cream if you have the chance.

When I passed by here in July and also when I went to Soya Camp this time, I was always curious, so on the way back from Wakkanai, I stopped by "Bekochichi Factory". It is located at 3416-34 Tatsuneushi, Aza, Ten'ei-cho, Teshio-gun. Open from 10:00 to 17:00 (until 16:00 from November to April), closed on Mondays to Thursdays (closed on Mondays to Fridays from November to April). They have parking and it's non-smoking. Basically, they are only open on weekends. Soft serve ice cream is available from May to October. It's located about halfway between Nayoro and Wakkanai, in the middle of nowhere. The main items they sell are cheese and sausages. Oh, they have soft serve ice cream! And you can add toppings too. I tried the normal soft serve ice cream in a half size for 200 yen. Wait, isn't this a bit smaller than usual? But the taste is amazing, it's like eating creamy milk. It's like eating sweetened milk directly. I really liked it. It's the best soft serve ice cream I've ever had! I also bought the Cheese Basil for 432 yen. It's delicious. When you chew it, the basil-flavored juice slowly spreads in your mouth. It's really good.

☆Visited on 2013.08.04 (Sun.)☆ I visited Oro Line Michi no Eki for a stamp rally event, and also went on a hot spring tour from Kodaira to Teshio. This area is close by, but surprisingly not visited often. It always feels like you can go anytime. It was a good opportunity, so I finally visited a place I had been curious about for a long time, the Bekochichi Factory. It's located about 20km from Route 232 in Teshio town, Hokkaido. The place is surrounded by fields, making you wonder if it's really there. After passing through the Oshinai Tunnel, you'll see some banners along the road. The shop opened in 2011 and is only open on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays during the summer, and only on Saturdays and Sundays during the winter. The shop looked small from the outside, so I didn't have high expectations, but inside, they had a good selection of products. I was surprised by the variety of sliced cheese they had. They had plain, black pepper, chili pepper, soy sauce, basil, parsley, sansho, and sesame flavors. We chose soy sauce. I was delighted to learn that they use soy sauce produced in Motomachi. The cheese was moist and soft, much more than regular sliced cheese. They also had mozzarella, plain and miso-flavored. I've been a fan of the combination of miso and cheese ever since I tried Needs' miso cheese. They also had Kachocavallo, "Teshio" semi-hard cheese, and "Tatsuneushi" hard cheese on display. My husband is picky about cheese, so we only bought a little. We also tried the cheese tofu, which you can eat with wasabi soy sauce or fruit sauce. It had a slightly tart flavor. The kimchi sauce was easy to eat, not too spicy. They also have a salt-flavored soft serve that was delicious. We tried the plain flavor, which was not too sweet and had a gelato-like texture. I'd love to come back and try the salt flavor next time. Thank you, Bekochichi Factory, for the delicious food!

There are various types of soft serve ice cream, such as milk-based, vanilla-based, refreshing, and rich. This one highlights the taste of milk while having just the right amount of sweetness. The texture is unique and crunchy thanks to being additive-free. The taste is exceptional thanks to the fresh milk. Despite being in a remote location, this place attracts quite a few customers. The cheese that melts in your mouth is also delicious. With varieties like plain, basil, parsley, and soy sauce, it is easy to eat without any strong flavors. It must be because the ingredients are fresh that everything tastes so good. Make sure to try not only the soft serve ice cream but also the cheese.

Chocolate cookie cup ice cream for 300 yen. This ice cream shop offers ice cream, cheese, and soft serve. The shop is small but you can also eat inside. I was looking forward to the soft serve, but they don't serve it in the winter. They have limited hours in the winter, only open on weekends from 11 am to 4 pm. This time, I only had the cup ice cream. The ice cream had a fine texture and wasn't overly sweet, with lots of chocolate cookies inside. It was delicious. It would be even better if the price was lower.

Located along the national highway between Horonobe and Nakagawa Town, not many people may pass by here. However, the soft serve ice cream here is truly valuable. I have visited various places in Hokkaido, but so far, this place is number one. They offer different types of soft serve ice cream, such as cheese-like, yogurt-like, and butter-like, but the special full-bodied milk type here is the best. The sweetness and richness overflowing in your mouth are irresistible! They also sell cheese and other products. Please consider stopping by during your drive in northern Hokkaido.

I visited the Bekochichi factory a while ago (early August). I didn't know about it beforehand, but I discovered it while visiting the Teshio Onsen Yuhana, which is famous for its Chuchu pudding. The factory is located along Route 40 as you head inland from Teshio City. After passing through the Oshinai Tunnel towards Nakagawa, you will see a ranch with a log house-style building where you can buy soft serve ice cream. The ice cream is incredibly rich and delicious. It's rare to find a place selling soft serve ice cream next to a ranch in the Rumoi region. They also sell cheese, which I didn't buy at the time but would like to try on a future visit.

On September 13, 2015 (Sunday), the Higashi Hokkaido Cheese Festival was held at a special venue in Nakashibetsu Shirubetto from 12th to 13th. I visited the venue on Sunday afternoon, and although most shops offered samples, they were sold out. However, I found a shop where I could purchase the product. I enjoyed it while playing bingo. I'm not a fan of very spicy food, but this one had just the right amount of kick, making it easy to eat. Thank you for the meal.
