This month's second food adventure was at Kubota Agri Front Cafe, where I had the "Vegetable-packed Chicken Soup Curry" set for lunch. Located inside the Hokkaido Ball Park F Village, this cafe is part of the agricultural learning facility operated by the agricultural machinery manufacturer Kubota. The cafe opened at the end of March, and it aims to encourage customers to think about the ingredients used in their meals, serving as a learning opportunity. As expected from a facility operated by an agricultural machinery manufacturer, the cafe is located to the right of the main entrance. Upon entering, you place your order and payment at the counter, receive a receipt with a number, and find a seat in the self-service area. The food menu includes three options: the vegetable-packed Chicken Soup Curry, the vegetable-filled Minestrone, and the creamy Carrot Potage. The Curry comes with a choice of rice or bread, and you can also opt for a set that includes salad and a drink. The drink options include coffee, tea, apple juice, grape juice, tomato juice, as well as local Hokkaido specialties like "Garana" and "Soft Katsugen." For an additional fee, you can upgrade to a Cappuccino, Spicy Chai, Lassi, and more. I chose the Lassi. The curry had a tomato base with a thick consistency similar to a roux curry, and the spiciness was mild. The chicken leg was tender, and the vegetables included pumpkin, bell pepper, eggplant, tomato, shiitake mushrooms, broccoli, lotus root, potatoes, and burdock. The salad featured lettuce harvested from the facility's plant factory, and I enjoyed a refreshing Lemon Lassi. For dessert, you can choose from gelato, rice flour roll cake, apple pie, custard pudding, and you can also add a drink to your dessert set.

Today, I visited Kubota Cafe, which is located inside the Escon Field Hokkaido. I had the "Vegetable Chicken Soup Curry Set" which was delicious with various vegetables and chicken leg in a creamy curry sauce. My companion had the "Rice Flour Roll Cake Set" which was moist and flavorful. The cafe has a nice view of Escon Field Hokkaido and you can also take a picture with the utility vehicle used on the field. Overall, a great dining experience at Kubota Cafe.

There is a Kubota cafe in the waterside area on the south side of Escon Field in Hokkaido. Since it is a cafe of an agricultural machinery manufacturer, the menu mainly consists of dishes made with vegetables, fruits, and milk. The glass-walled interior is bright, and you can enjoy the view of the glass walls, which are the symbol of Escon Field. As the grass grows a little more and the leaves of the trees become lush, it will be a pleasant place to spend time. When you enter the cafe, the staff will guide you, so you can secure a seat and then place your order at the counter. Since it was shortly after breakfast, I selected the apple pie set from the dessert menu. I actually thought the pudding looked good too, but the apple pie turned out to be surprisingly voluminous, stimulating the gluttonous side of me. After waiting for about 5 minutes while sitting and looking at the outside view, my number was called. The apple pie set served on a tray made a strong impression with the first thought being "Wow, that's a big coffee cup!" The coffee cup seemed to have a diameter of about 10 centimeters and was filled with plenty of coffee, a size that coffee lovers would appreciate. The apple pie was also large and looked delicious. When I tasted it, the crispy texture was nice. The apple compote was sweet with little sourness, but the refreshing taste of the apple was clearly felt and it was delicious. The ice cream had a mild sweetness and a nice mint aroma. The coffee was a city roast with a predominant bitterness, which paired well with the sweets. Enjoying a cafe time while looking at the newly built innovative stadium before watching the game was nice. Thank you for the meal. Go Fighters!
