“Incredibly Rich Flavor!” The Secret Behind the Special 100% Fresh Milk Yogurt from Shibecha, Hokkaido's Dairy Town
Drinking Yogurt Made with Fresh Hokkaido Milk
A popular product from Kaze Farm! “Tiara Yogurt 150ml” for 324 yen
Shibecha Town, one of Hokkaido's premier dairy regions, is famous for its “Hoshizora no Kuroushi,” a crossbreed of Japanese Black and Holstein cattle. The town is popular nationwide for its mail-order products, ranging from processed goods like sausages to dairy products such as milk, yogurt, and cheese.
Located in Shibecha, Kaze Farm produces the exquisite drinking yogurts “Puritia Yogurt” and “Tiara Yogurt,” made from 100% fresh milk. Using oligosaccharides and granulated sugar, they are characterized by their natural sweetness and rich texture.
A Flavor That Evolves Over Time
Tiara Yogurt and other products are available for purchase at the online shop
Their commitment is to use no unnecessary additives. Because the yogurt is slowly fermented at a low temperature for a long time, its flavor gradually changes even after purchase. The expiration date is 14 days from production. The balance of sweetness, acidity, and richness changes from day 1 to day 14, allowing you to enjoy a different delicious taste at any time.
A Special Yogurt Collaborates with Snow Miku! “Kaze Farm's Puru Puru Mousse”
“Kaze Farm's Puru Puru Mousse” (353 yen), based on their signature yogurt
A must-try this winter is “Kaze Farm's Puru Puru Mousse,” a collaboration between their special Tiara Yogurt and “Snow Miku,” a character that supports Hokkaido. It is based on Tiara Yogurt around the 10th day, when its flavor is most balanced, giving it a satisfyingly rich character.
At the same time, it maintains the refreshing lightness characteristic of a mousse, exquisitely blending the charms of both. This is the first time Kaze Farm has developed a mousse product, and it reportedly took over a month to create.
“Kaze Farm's Puru Puru Mousse” can be purchased at the Shibecha Town Bus Terminal Tourist Information Center
The mousse comes with a coaster (7 types in total, random *with purchases of 1,000 yen or more) and a pick featuring an illustration of Snow Miku (2018 design). “Kaze Farm's Puru Puru Mousse” can only be purchased at the special booth in the tourist information center inside the Shibecha Town Bus Terminal, located just outside JR Shibecha Station, during the “Hokkaido Shiawase Sweets Map” event period.
The “SL Fuyu-no-Shitsugen Train” runs between JR Kushiro Station and Shibecha Station for a limited time in winter
Shibecha Town is also the final stop for the “SL Fuyu-no-Shitsugen Train,” which operates during the winter (January 17th to March 15th). Along with the special mousse, be sure to enjoy the sight of this precious steam locomotive.
