In addition, these farms sell not only ice cream, but also dairy products such as milk and yogurt, which are sure to make great souvenirs. Enjoying ice cream in the clear winter air while looking at the vast landscape of the farm provides a luxurious experience that you can't get anywhere else.

Limited-edition winter flavors and recommended ways to enjoy them

Hokkaido's rich ice cream is also known for its special winter-only flavors. For example, you can enjoy flavors perfect for the cold season, such as "Sake Ice Cream" in collaboration with a local sake brewery and "Yukimi Flavor" based on white chocolate. Some stores also offer special sweets of ice cream on warm waffles or freshly baked cookies, proposing a new style of enjoying ice cream in the cold. In addition, an increasing number of ice cream shops are being established with the aim of taking photos in the snowy scenery, offering unique menus and toppings that look great on social media. Enjoying these limited-time menus in between sightseeing will make your travel memories even more special. In winter in Hokkaido, be sure to enjoy the luxurious seasonal flavors while experiencing the excellent compatibility between cold snow and rich ice cream.
