A population of the Sapporo is the 4th largest city after Yokohama, Osaka and Nagoya in japan, and the population accounts for 36 % of Hokkaido's population! So the Sapporo has been flourished as the center of the Hokkaido. The area of the Sapporo is 1,121.26 km2, and is about as big as Hong Kong, and is the 7th largest city in the Hokkaido.

Rakuno Cheese Pudding and Yakitate Cheese Tart

I bought a Rakuno (Dairy Farming) Cheese Pudding (酪農チーズプリン) and a Yakitate (Hot from Oven) Cheese Tart (焼き立てチーズタルト) this time. Both are popular sweets. Milk produced in Biei and cream cheese produced in Hokkaido were used in the Rakuno (Dairy Farming) Cheese Pudding. The rich taste pudding was tasty.

As for the Cheese Tart, the outside was crispy cookie, and the inside was fluffy and moist cheese mousse. Mellow cheese taste spread out in my mouth.

Prime Milk Soft Serve Ice Cream

There is a cafe room at the Shiroishi Head Office, too, so visitors can eat cakes or baked sweets there. I ordered a Prime Milk Soft Serve Ice Cream (極上牛乳ソフトクリーム). The price was JPY 388. They serve the soft serve ice cream with a holder if customers eat those at the cafe room. I ate it immediately, and I was suprised at the rich milk taste. It was marvelous! In addition, the soft serve ice cream was just smooth texture like a silk, and was slightly sweet.
