I'm not in the mood to write a terrible review, so don't worry. I won't buy Kuraso, I'm alone in Asahikawa. There is quite a bit of stock in Asahikawa, but there was a ramen shop I wanted to try. I had a bit of a stubborn side, so even though I came last week, I couldn't eat there. I spent a frustrating week and finally managed to eat there. There was a place I wanted to go in the city, so I went there. I visited the Kuraudo 4th Street store. I was planning to go in the morning, but for some reason I skipped it. I found a curry takeout shop nearby and came back to the city again. This time, I made sure to stop by. It was time to go back, but I always end up staying for about an hour. I really need to hurry. I found it in one shot. This is not the right word to use here. It's a bit off the beaten path, so we walked. Even after entering, I couldn't take pictures as it was a small store with one woman and one other customer. There are no mochi or anything here. I don't care about Kuraso, so I picked up three cute packages - one with azuki beans, one with pumpkin, and another one I can't remember. The service was very pleasant, with one woman. Azu-chan? I've heard of that before. Wasn't it also in Asahikawa? Wasn't it caught in Asahikawa? Azu-chan was fine until then, but Maichan said, "It's not stylish," and Yome-san said, "This is the kind of snack it is." I don't know this snack. The dough is soft, right? It looks crispy, but Yome-san said, "This is the kind of snack it is." You don't know, do you? The dough is the same, right? The filling is sweet bean paste, and this filling is delicious. It's Azu-chan after all. When I opened it, the dough was the same, right? The filling... Yome-san said it was pumpkin, but it's definitely pumpkin. It's delicious, with a fluffy filling. The taste... is it really pumpkin? It doesn't stand out that much. It was a delicious snack. Maichan opened it, and the dough was the same. It was delicious. The filling was even more orange. The taste... is it pumpkin? It doesn't assert itself that much. It was a tasty snack.

I had some business at Hokuyo Bank, so I stopped by the new store "The Sun Kurando" on the first floor, which opened on February 23rd. Compared to the main store in Kaguraoaka, this shop is quite compact, but it seems to have most of the popular items. They also had a variety of bread. There was a featured item called "Yomogi Daifuku" displayed at the storefront. I bought two pieces of "Yomogi Daifuku" (140 yen) and two pieces of "Sakura Pie" (156 yen) looking for something spring-like. Yomogi Daifuku... When you open the package, a strong scent of "yomogi" (mugwort) fills the air. You can taste it even more when you put it in your mouth. The Daifuku made from 100% Hokkaido mochi rice is soft. Inside, there is sweet red bean paste, which goes well with the yomogi-flavored Daifuku. Sakura Pie... A fragrant butter-flavored crispy pie. Inside, there is a rich milk bean paste with small red beans and sakura scent. It's a seasonal spring-like pie. I usually visit the main store in Kaguraoaka, but I found out that besides this 4th street store, there is also a store inside Asahikawa Station. It's convenient to have a store in the downtown area, so I'll probably buy more often now!!

"The Sun Kurouto" has taken the place of "Roteldo Hokkaido Club" in the Hokuyo Bank building on 4th Avenue. It is another brand by Roba Kashishi. According to their website, it will open from 2/23. They offer Azu-chan and Kabo-chan, and a new character called Maimo-chan. These are traditional Western-style sweets loved by people of all ages in Asahikawa, where my grandmother, who was born in the Meiji era, used to give them to me. Azu-chan has red bean paste inside, while Kabo-chan has pumpkin paste. The Roteldo Hokkaido Club was established during the bubble economy era when the building was still the Hokkaido Bank building. Personally, I feel that the atmosphere has become more approachable and easier to enter now (laughs)."

I visited the 13th Hokkaido Fair at Takashimaya in Gifu and bought items such as Kura Namachizu for 601 yen. It was my first time trying Kura Namachizu, and it was incredibly moist and delicious. I would love to try it again. It was convenient to use PayPay for payment.
