I won a spot at an event for fan club members only at the Escanfield Fighters game, and to celebrate successfully fulfilling my role, I decided to order a dessert that I had been curious about for a while. The shop is known for using plenty of strawberries in their sweets, and I chose a parfait-like menu item that looked the most delicious. It was a scorching hot day, and as soon as it was handed to me, the ice cream started to melt. However, the coolness was a welcome relief for my overheated body, and I finished it in no time. It may be pricey, but indulging in a luxury treat once in a while is worth it.

I visited before the start of the baseball game with the purpose of watching. This time, I ordered the Baby Milk Whole Strawberry Smoothie and Baby Soft Serve Ice Cream (mix). The strawberry milk was not too sweet with a strong milk flavor. The smoothie had a decent sweetness with a noticeable strawberry taste. The soft serve ice cream had the most sweetness among the three and had a nostalgic feel to it. All of them were delicious. Thank you for the meal.

I also wanted to try this place. When I looked into the showcase, oh, the prices here are high too, haha. This is not a drink to quench your thirst, it falls under the dessert category. It had the same taste as Bikkudon's strawberry milk. Since I'm comparing it, it must be delicious! Thank you for the meal!

In June 2023, I visited Hokkaido Ballpark F Village. My main purpose was to watch the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters vs. Hanshin Tigers game at Escon Field Hokkaido, but I decided to explore the village beforehand. First, I went to "ICHIBIKO" on the 2nd floor of "THE LODGE". It seemed to be a strawberry specialty store from Taishido, Setagaya-ku, Tokyo. This time, I ordered the Fresh Ichibiko Milk. It was made using strawberries from three different regions - Miyagi Prefecture's fresh Migaiki strawberries, French strawberry puree, and diced Chilean strawberries as toppings. Each cup is made fresh using fresh strawberries. You can choose between an original milk bottle or a takeout cup for the container. The Ichibiko rabbit on the takeout cup is a limited design exclusive to the F Village store. I enjoyed it outside, and it was delicious with its rich strawberry and milk flavors. Thank you for the meal!

Strawberry milk at this place costs over 900 yen for one cup, which is quite expensive. The taste is just average, nothing special. I thought I would rather have strawberry milk at a certain hamburger restaurant instead. When I visited around 4 pm on a weekend match day between Hanshin and Nippon-Ham, the round strawberry sweets (ichigo kururun) were already sold out. I have seen products like Ichiboko's instant strawberry milk mix at a miscellaneous goods store in Ebetsu Tsutaya, but this is the first store to open in Hokkaido. If you are a fan of strawberry milk, I recommend trying it at least once. But if you are not a big fan, it's better not to buy it because it is quite expensive. *The store is open regardless of Fighters' game days. It opens relatively early compared to other stores, so I recommend visiting before the game starts.

☆Visited on a weekend in May 2023 around 3 pm (not a game day), the showcase had few items and no wait at the register☆ The shop is a takeout specialty store with no tables or chairs nearby☆ Purchased item: Strawberry Milk for about 888 yen - it was delicious with just the right amount of sweetness♡ It's a bit on the pricey side, but worth it as a treat for myself! I had been curious about this shop, so I'm glad I could easily buy it for takeout.

May 18, 2023✎︎＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿・Strawberry Milk/888✎︎＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿ Newly opened on March 30th♡ Located inside Hokkaido Ball Park F Village, the first store in Hokkaido! It is a strawberry sweets specialty store that mainly operates in the Kanto region. The fresh strawberry milk mixes three types of strawberries: fresh Miigaki strawberries from Miyagi prefecture, strawberry puree from France, and diced strawberries from Chile as toppings! You can choose between an original container and a take-out cup! The bottle was cute and I was tempted to buy it, but I was worried about how to use it afterwards so I decided not to ( ´ㅁ` ; ) It was very rich with fresh strawberries♡ The price is not cheap, but I wanted to have a refill! The strawberry swirl was also cute, and I want to come back again (´ω｀) Thank you for the meal♡

After being locked out at 3:00, we enjoyed the sweets inside the lodge. There is a coffee shop and Ainz-san on the second floor, while the first floor has a bicycle shop and North Face. It was a cold day, so everyone was trying to stay warm for an hour. There was a huge line at TruffleBAKERY, the bakery at the back. We decided not to wait because it was too cold. We shared an order of "Strawberry Kururun Red" which was a sponge cake with macaron-like dough and cream filling. The sweetness of the cream paired well with the tartness of the strawberries. It was a bit pricey, but sharing made it enjoyable. There is also a place to buy drinks and a bonfire area at TAKIBI BACE. Further back, there are real lodges where you can stay with 6 people, cook your own food, and even have a barbecue on the terrace. It's a fun place to visit in the ballpark.

In the separate building called "THE LODGE" on the Esconfield premises, there are 6 shops. Upon entering from the Esconfield side door, the first thing you see is "Habbelo," followed by a sweets shop called Ichibiko. I purchased the "Strawberry Curlun (White)" (702 yen) from Ichibiko. It turned out to be a super sweet meringue confection with fluffy cream, strawberry sauce, and diced strawberries. The meringue was very sweet, but the cream was rich and not overly sweet, with a nice balance of flavors. Overall, it was delicious, even though it was a bit too sweet for my taste. "Ichibiko," which is an old term for strawberries, thank you for the meal!

I went on a regular day and waited for about 10 minutes. It was past lunchtime and there were only a few Strawberry Curlunds left. The Strawberry Milk was delicious with a generous amount of strawberries! It's a bit pricey at 888 yen, but they use a lot of strawberries. The dessert I had at home was a thin macaron, I think. It sticks to your teeth (laughs). The cream and strawberries are delicious! The cream is sandwiched between the macaron crackers, making it difficult to eat. Cream keeps popping out from all over, so it's hard to eat on the spot. The macaron itself is probably delicious, but it's a bit disappointing that it's not crispy because it has absorbed moisture over time. It's delicious but expensive, so my rating is a bit low.

[Takeout] This is a shop that opened in Setagaya Ward, Tokyo in 2017 and started operating in March 2023. It is located on the second floor of The Lodge in the multipurpose experience area F Village, where there is a baseball field. This is the first store to expand to Hokkaido. The shop is called "Ichigo Kururun" and the item purchased was priced at 702 yen. The reviewer mentioned that the texture of the cake part was surprising, resembling a Swiss roll. They did not want to spoil the surprise by revealing more details. They also commented that the strawberry flavor was not very strong, but the appearance of the dessert was very cute, which is important for this type of treat.

Not a cake, but a texture I've never tasted before. It's not sponge cake or cream puff, more like candy art... Inside, there was a lot of cream and it cost 700 yen. Thank you for the meal.

The outside was like a macaron, and the inside was filled with strawberries and whipped cream♪ It was a bit pricey at around 700 yen, but the taste was not too sweet and very delicious! I would love to go back again♪
