Tasty Gelato Using Raw Ingredients -Paisible in Kushiro-

Gelateria Paisible (ジェラテリア・ペジブル) is a popular western confectionery run by Kushiro Nozomi Social Welfare Service Corporation Association (社会福祉法人釧路のぞみ協会) which supports for handicapped job seekers in Futaba-cho, Kushiro city and was founded in 2010. They sell cakes or baked confectioneries, but it is reputable for very tasty gelatos, too. I visited here around 16:00 on weekdays to eat gelato. 3 cars stopped on a road in front of the store. There were 3 groups of visitors when I entered the store. Everyone ordered the gelato. I waited at the checkout line.

About 10 minutes later, my turn came. There are different 6 kinds of gelato every day, and the price of a scoop gelato was about JPY 340, the price of double scoop gelato was JPY 370, the price of triple scoop gelato was JPY 400. A soft serve cream cone is able to choose among a soft serve cream cone, a plastic cup or a waffle cone. I ordered a triple scoop gelato, and chose strawberry and milk flavor (いちごミルク * the strawberry produced in Kushiro), fresh milk flavor (搾りたて牛乳 * the milk produced in nakashibetsu) and pistachio flavor (ピスタチオ). In the case of the triple scoop gelato, visitors can choose only soft serve cream cone. There is a place for customers to enjoy foods at the store, and I ate it there.

The gelatos were light and tender, a texture was good. The fresh milk flavor that milked a cow in Yorouushi, famous for milk, Nakashibetsu town was a just right sweetness and refreshing taste. The strawberry and milk flavor had good balance of a sourness and a sweetness, and seeds of the strawberry provided a excellent accent. The pistachio flavor called the Queen of nuts had a strong taste of the pistachio and was tasty! Because I felt that the gelato was large in quantity, it was attractive that the gelato was a good buy.
