The head office is near a rotary intersection, and Chuo Branch near Asahikawa Station and Chuwa Branch near Asahikawa Tunnel open a buiness. They serve baked confectioneries, cakes and pie.
My visited place is the head office. A white building designed by Tosei Kensetsu corp. (東成建設株式会社) is cool, and their concept of making up stores is North European Hotel. A place for custmers to enjoy foods and drinks is not provided at the store.

ASAHIKAWA
Asahikawa (旭川) that about 340,000 people live is the 2nd largest commercial city in Hokkaido, and has flourished as the center of the North Hokkaido area. Woodworks have been prosperous since the old days, and furniture is famous. Because water is clear, a liquor such as sake of Otokoyama (男山) and Godo Shusei (合同酒精) are famous, too. Popular tourist attractions such as Asahiyama Zoo (旭山動物園) and Biei (美瑛) are around the Asahikawa, so a lot of tourists use tourist bases in the North Hokkaido. As for a climate, the Asahikawa is located in Kamikawa Basin, the largest basin in the Hokkaido, so it is hot that temperature rises to 30 degrees C in a summer, and it is cold that temperature falls to -25 degrees C in a winter, and it snow very hard, too. So a winter festival using the snow is famous. Read More
Cornet
They had recommended sweets including Golden Fresh Sable (金の生サブレ), New York Cheesecake (ニューヨークチーズケーキ) and so on, but I was full at that time, so I purchased only a type of sweets. That was Cornet (コルネット). The baked confectionery had been sold since its foundation, and the price was reasonable, too. The cornet was JPY 115 per one.

Because there was not a place for customers to enjoy foods at the store, I decided to return to my car, and to eat it. The cornet was a barrel pie covered with sugar, and its length was about 10 cm. The outside was crispy pie, and the inside had a mushy custard cream. It was tasty! I bought only one, but I might eat 5 pieces of the Cornet. The light taste was good, too. Thanks for the tasty sweets!
