By MOOK Attractions Jun(e), compiled and reported

Hokkaido is a truly enchanting island, not only rich in natural scenery but also brimming with a strong rural charm. Its warmth and friendliness create a comforting atmosphere. Among Hokkaido’s diverse tourist attractions, this time we’re introducing its food scene — a must-try dessert at Midorigaoka: cantaloupe ice cream from POPURA FARM. Sweet cantaloupe is topped with rich, delicious ice cream, and because the ice cream is shaped upside-down like Santa’s beard, it’s nicknamed “Santa’s Beard.” Creative and incredibly tasty, it draws long lines every visit. If you have the chance to go to Hokkaido next time, be sure to try this ultra-popular dessert.
