Soft Icecream Cup with Kibana Cookie and Kibana Hot Chocolate -Tsuboya Kibana-no-Mori in Asahikawa-

Tsuboya (壺屋) is a long-established confectionery store in Asahikawa city and was founded in 1929. Kibana cookie (き花) reflecting an image of diamond dust is famous. The kibana cookie has been awarding 'Gold Prize' by Monde Selection for 27 consecutive years. That is great! Such Tsuboya opened Kibana-no-Mori in 2014. There are a factory, a cafe, a craft shop, a flower shop at a building, and a courtyard is constructed, too.

I read a menu to look for the kibana cookie at CAFE Bunraku (CAFE 文欒). I ordered a soft serve ice cream cup with the kibana cookie (き花のカップ絹ソフト) and a kibana hot chocolate (き花チョコレートドリンク). The both price were JPY 350 per one. By the way, visitors can not use CAFE Bunraku if the visitors order only foods (soft serve ice cream cup with kibana cookie) to go. On the other hand, the visitors can eat at a rest place. There is a brick table at CAFE Bunraku, and interior decoration has a stylish atmosphere.

As for the soft serve ice cream cup with kibana cookie, almond galettes and white chocolate sauce were poured into soft serve ice cream used milk of Creamery Noumu (クリーマリー農夢), and it was topped with the kibana cookie. It was just right sweetness. When I ate it to put the soft serve ice cream on the kibana cookie, it was a taste different from the usual. The kibana hot chocolate was a drink that poured milk into white chocolate used in kibana cookie. It was foaming with creamy feeling and tasted very sweet. The visitors can eat a dish at the CAFE Bunraku, too, and I want to eat a dish on the next time.

Kibana of Tsuboya is found on Amazon.
