This souvenir shop & cafe operates along the national highway in Nakafurano Town. They serve a sweet called "Santa's Beard" here, which is a melon topped with soft-serve ice cream. There are many signs along the road, so it has an impact. The name of this product is probably more noticeable than the name of the store. The name of the shop is so named because the soft-serve ice cream on top of the sliced melon looks like Santa Claus' beard. I visited the store before going to the hot spring next door, because I noticed the impact of the store. However, I am not a big fan of melons, and I had just received a large amount of melons from a friend, so I decided to get a drink this time. This time I ordered a drink called "Blue Pond Cider. Aoi Ike is a famous sightseeing spot in Biei-cho, the next town over from here. The drink is carbonated, so I heard that you have to slowly turn it upside down and mix it evenly before drinking. The taste is more refreshing than it looks. The container has a strange shape, but how do they put the lemon in it? It was a moderately interesting store. If you like melon and soft-serve ice cream, you should definitely try it at least once. The price is high, probably due to the touristy price, so be careful.

The place to get your melon fix. Melon ice cream and slices of melon, so fresh and delicious. They specialize in it, so you know they know their melons from lemons. Indoor and outdoor seating. Not much of a view or comfortable seating or free wifi, but it's meant for a quick stop, with plenty of parking, and value for money melons.

The melon icecream is costly, but the melon is sweet and the dessert looks great and it is enjoyable to eat it. The sweet corn is ordinary. We bought a melon in this shop but it was only so-so.

Located by the road, they're popular for their melon ice cream dessert which is super yummy. We ordered half of a melon with mixed soft cream, the melon was super sweet and was very delicious. Later we ordered the potato pizza and it wasn't as good as we expected. The potatoes on the pizza weren't cooked well and it was super hard. Some of them were still raw. So come here for the famous dessert and stay away from the pizza, unless they learn how to cook the potatoes properly.

One of life's little indulgences ...... Worthy of being called the king of fruits (over the durian IMHO is the sweet and juicy Hokkaido melon. Pricey but unbelievably worth it. The melon ice-cream is also incredible.
