There are various sundries and items from Hakodate displayed here. I also use the wooden spatula placed here at home. I bought the wakame seaweed that can be used quickly in miso soup because it is from Hakodate. It's not incredibly delicious, but I use it because it's from Hakodate.

This is in Hakodate. For dessert after a meal, I wandered towards the station and found a sign for soft serve ice cream. It was "Ezorisu" where they sell local specialty products and goods, with soft serve ice cream on the side. I ordered the "Yamakawa Ranch Vanilla Soft Serve @350" and the "Kuririn Kabocha (pumpkin) Soft Serve @350" in a cone. A woman in her 30s quickly scooped the soft serve and handed it to me. I sat in the eat-in area across the aisle, which was like a rest area. The pumpkin soft serve was a vibrant yellow color and had a smooth texture without the typical graininess of pumpkin soft serve. It had a generous amount of whipped cream, and it was quite delicious. Due to the impact of the coronavirus, there were fewer tourists around. I haven't been to Hakodate for leisure in about three years. I hope we can travel leisurely again soon. Thank you for the meal.

This is a specialty shop located on the first floor of Kirarito Hakodate. The name suggests that Gagome kelp is the main product, but they also offer a variety of vegetables and dairy products. The store has a good selection of items. I purchased Gagome kelp curry and Gagome kelp and mushroom soup.

The store shelves display specialty products such as Agome Miso Ponzu, Agome Dashi Pon, Hakodate Ma Konbu, Osatsube Kenjo Konbu, powdered Agome Konbu, Hokkaido Wakame, Natto Konbu, Naka Shiro Tororo Konbu, Agome Soup... Among them, I purchased the minced Agome Konbu from Hakodate, Hokkaido. It is versatile in various dishes with its sticky texture being its charm. Next time, I plan to purchase the grated Konbu with root, and Osatsube (a blend of natural Konbu from Osatsube and Kyoto rice vinegar, winner of the Northern High-Grade Food Award) Tororo Konbu.

Welcome. ---------- August 2016 ----------Recently opened antenna shop on the 1st floor of Kiraris Hakodate, visible from Hakodate Station Square Station. Hello, it seems that Nebaneba Honpo has moved here. They have a wide variety of Hokkaido specialty products along with Hakodate's famous products. I was intrigued by the drink selection at the eat-in area, especially the Onuma Yamagawa Farm milkshake. It looks like soft serve, but when you sip it through a straw, you can feel the thick, creamy, milky richness with a refreshing aftertaste. The portion size is generous and it's a great treat to cool off in the summer heat. I also picked a konbu (kelp) flavored treat, but it's a bit bulky to carry around, so I opted for the konbu caramel for the kids. It seems like there will be more openings on the 2nd floor and above in the future, but Hakodate is becoming a city that can compete with Asahikawa. Thank you for the delicious meal.

Cold weather calls for soft serve ice cream. The sweetness is just perfect. Even though I know it's cold, I can't resist the craving for soft serve ice cream. When I think of Hokkaido, I imagine delicious seafood and soft serve ice cream.

Kiralis, located across from Hakodate Station. Ezorisu is a souvenir shop on the first floor. In addition to food, they have a variety of items such as soap and accessories, giving it a trendy boutique feel that would attract women. I was really interested in the new cosmetic products made with kelp, and I wish they had a trial size available for purchase. They also had kelp chips recommended by GLAY Takuro and KinKi fish sauce recommended by Daio Yoko, but since these were local products, I thought I could buy them in Sapporo. So I ended up buying the Matsumae pickling kit instead! It's a great product that allows you to enjoy dried squid without having to cut it yourself! It's also lightweight! I definitely want to stop by again!
