Manufactured at their Chitose factory in Hokkaido and primarily sold locally, it's become a beloved souvenir from Hokkaido.

I found the Hokkaido Butter Fries, a duty-free exclusive flavor, at New Chitose Airport.

I’ve always loved their products. No matter the flavor, they’re hard to put down, and I just keep reaching for more. The small individual packs are especially convenient to take on the go and don’t take up much space.

I’d heard the name Kokushi Muso for a long time, but never really knew its background. This time, I finally had the chance to step inside the brewery and see its brewing world with my own eyes. The aroma of sake filled the air, making me want to stop and take it all in.

Besides tasting seasonal limited-edition sake, there were all kinds of related items to shop for.
From sake ware to sake lees products, each one carried a distinct local character.
By the time I left, my hands were full of great finds.
