Newly opened in July from GAKU, famous for its risotto and parfait, the OKASHI GAKU vending machines "Shortcake Can" and "Fluffy Can". The cakes are filled with fresh Hokkaido cream and are packaged in transparent cans. The appearance of the cans could be mistaken for a package, but this is the real fruit and cream inside showing through.

Meat from Meat Shop Ito, a butcher store known for its super-spicy hormone, "Geki Hotta Nan DEATH," is available in a vending machine. You can also stop by for a "meat mikuji" to win the very popular Hidaka Wagyu Beef and other special items with limited quantities, so be sure to stop by and buy some early in the morning before going to a BBQ or in the evening after a day out without worrying about the time.

The "Nanikore vending machine" is located at the entrance of Michi no Eki Rumoi in Rumoi City. It sells sweets from "Sunset Town Confectionery Le Monde," which has stores in the roadside station and in the city. The vending machine sells interesting products to look at and buy, such as "too-hard pudding" that does not fall off even when shaken upside down, as well as dashi (Japanese soup stock) and spicy mayonnaise made from herring roe and other ingredients.

What a "shampoo" you can buy from a vending machine at Sapporo's Misono Subway Station. It is an original shampoo that was developed in-house with particular attention to skin quality and feel. Why not try the salon-quality shampoo at home?
It is very convenient that you can easily purchase our products anytime. Please stop by when you are in the neighborhood. There are still many surprising vending machines in Hokkaido, so it might be interesting to take a trip to look for something a little different!
