Hanabatake Bokujo's flagship product soft caramel is beloved for how it melts in the mouth. It has won the grand prize at the Monde Selection contest nine years running. Their popular hand-made cheeses are made with 100% Tokachi milk, and their melted Raclette won grand prize at the ALL JAPAN Natural Cheese Contest."

ラクレットかけを注文しました。1,200円以上もしたのに具材のボリュームが残念。一番残念だったのがラクレットチーズの最後の方の面積があまりない所を使用され、少ししかチーズが来ませんでした。私の次に注文した外国人観光客のタイミングで新しいチーズに変わり、沢山チーズをのせてもらってました。残念すぎます、もう二度と行きません。

Hokkaido Areas

Not just a prefecture but an island of its own, Hokkaido is the most northerly prefecture and island of the Japanese archipelago. Arriving in Hokkaido, which is rural and bursting with breathtaking nature, means entering a world where vast national parks, towering mountains, and natural hot springs can be found at every turn. Come December, these natural splendors freeze over and morph into a winter wonderland.
