I arrived at Kushiro Airport around noon. Since I had some time before my flight and wanted to use up my regional coupon, I decided to do some shopping here. The store is called Gate Store, but it's actually in the lobby. I bought the following items: - Hokkaido Specialty Zangi Mix - Hokkaido Butter Potato Soup - Haskap Jam - Akari - Hogaja Hotate - Kushiro Zantare Rice Crackers I haven't opened any of them yet, so I can't comment on the taste, but I imagine they are all as expected. I skipped the popular Jagapokkuru because it's available at the local product exhibition, but I think this store has a decent selection of souvenirs.

I'll also get a souvenir for myself. I chose something that made me go "oh, this looks good" rather than something that's considered the most popular (lol)! I didn't go for something famous, I chose this instead. Had a great time in Hokkaido, I'll definitely come back!

Bought famous sweets at the airport. Purchased Tancho Crane's Egg, a combination of Western and Japanese with white chocolate, castella, and yellow anko. Sweet and delicious. Also bought a pudding similar to Marimo Yokan. Popped the balloon and ate the pudding. Is the pudding okay? Seems to have gelatin, so it's quite firm. Is it really pudding? The color and taste are like pudding, but the texture is subtle. The caramel is delicious. Thank you for the meal.

After passing through the security inspection at Kushiro Airport, I found myself waiting near the boarding gate. Due to the delayed arrival of the aircraft caused by a typhoon, there was a need for extra time for preparation, so I ended up waiting in front of the boarding gate. The area was not very spacious and there were no seats available, so I had to stand around awkwardly. I was intrigued by the "Delicious Pork" being sold at a nearby shop, but I felt a bit pressed for time. Therefore, I decided to make the most of my last memory of Kushiro by indulging in a White Lover soft serve ice cream. I purchased the vanilla and chocolate mix for 350 yen. Despite the lack of available tables and the crowded waiting area, I enjoyed the rich flavor of the ice cream, which had a hint of saltiness. It was a nice way to end my trip. As I was savoring the delicious treat, boarding began. Thank you for the meal.

This is the ANA Festa inside the boarding waiting room. It's small. I was hungry, but since it was light, I decided to go for this recommended item. Is this it? Sunset over Kushiro Cheese Busse Impressions are based on other people's reviews. The sunset at Nemuro Bridge is said to be one of the world's top three sunsets, and many photographers come to take pictures. I've stayed in Kushiro for probably 100 nights, but I've never seen it... 1. I'm not at Nemuro Bridge during sunset. 2. When I'm at Nemuro Bridge, the weather is bad. It seems difficult statistically. I'd like to see it someday. Thank you for the meal.

A shop located in the restricted area of Kushiro City, Hokkaido, at Kushiro Airport. There are discounts available for payment with an ANA card or by showing it. When shopping at ANA Festa, the staff always asks, "Do you have a card that earns ANA miles?" The pudding I bought here had a unique way of unwrapping the packaging, and if done incorrectly, it could turn into a snake firework, which made my wife and I burst into laughter. The taste was rich and delicious, as expected from dairy products from Hokkaido.

While waiting for the plane, I ate Shiroi Koibito soft serve at Kushiro Airport ANA Festa. It was delicious. I hope they expand to Tokyo as well.
