[4/6-12] "Spring Hokkaido Products Fair" held at Hakata Hankyu

The "Spring Hokkaido Products Fair" will be held from Wednesday, April 6th to Tuesday, April 12th, 2022 at the event hall on the 8th floor of Hakata Hankyu.

This time, the theme is "Enchanted by Milk," and the store will feature a lineup of products from Uno Farm in Teshio Town, Hokkaido, which captivated the buyers, as well as Hakata Hankyu exclusive products that use these products.

Of course there will also be seafood, sweets, and eat-in ramen! A total of 35 stores will be gathering together offering gourmet food made with Hokkaido products.

Of course you can enjoy it at the venue, but there are also many products available for purchase at the online shop.

Let's take a look at some of the exciting lineup.

Hakata Hankyu's first appearance! "Milk Toriko" from "Uno Farm"

Uno Farm in Teshio Town is located on the Sea of Japan coast in northern Hokkaido. It is one of the few farms in Japan to practice "free-range dairy farming" on a vast area of about 230 hectares. They create fertile soil, grow nutritious grass, and allow the cows to eat as much of that grass as they like, living a leisurely life on the farm.

The milk squeezed from these cows is sweet, rich, and has a clean aftertaste - a flavor unlike any other!

Going clockwise from the back of the photo, the following will be coming to Hakata Hankyu: "Thick Organic Plain Yogurt" (1,000g, 1,620 yen), "Uno Farm's Best Milk Ever" (900ml, 2,052 yen), "Organic Drinking Yogurt" (200ml, 540 yen), "Panna Cotta Uno" (75g, 481 yen), and "Trocchete Uno" (plain, strawberry sauce, haskap sauce) (381 yen each).

"Uno Farm" introduces a first! Cream puffs with a rich milky taste

The cream puffs, "Cream Puff Yogurt Cream" (432 yen), which are the first cream puffs to be demonstrated at Uno Farm and have not been available at any other fairs, are a must-try!

The cream is made with plain yogurt, which gives it a strong milky sweetness, and the batter also uses milk. It's rich and full-bodied, but the refreshing taste of the yogurt is what makes it so appealing. It's a cream puff that even people who don't like milk can enjoy.

I'd love to try the milk flavor that captivated our buyer, who knows all about delicious food...!
