Saturday, May 24, 2025

For three days from Friday, May 23rd to Sunday, May 25th (11am-7pm), Kurosengoku's kitchen car "Loving" will be setting up a stall next to the entrance to Takasago Onsen, a hot spring in Asahikawa City!

Kurosengoku Kitchen Car "Loveringu" opens

Two connections led to us opening a store in Takasago Onsen.
Kazuhiro Ushiro, the developer of the baked donuts and the head of the manufacturing department of the Kurosengoku Business Cooperative Association, used to visit Takasago Onsen often, and Yuji Takada, the managing director of the Kurosengoku Business Cooperative Association, formed a new connection and opened a store here.

Renewal! Takasago Onsen

Takasago Onsen, which was founded in 1965 and has a 60-year history, will undergo a renovation in 2022, upgrading its Showa-era retro space and becoming increasingly popular!

The retro shops inside the building are filled with a nostalgic Showa era atmosphere, with a retro game corner, manga corner, and Famicom corner, and the shop is packed with cheap snacks.

Among them are products related to Kurosengoku soybeans, which sparkle and shine.

Delicious baked donuts delivered with love

People looked with interest at the unusual food truck they had never seen before set up in front of the entrance.

"What is it?" "A baked donut?" "What's heart-shaped?"

"Delicious baked donuts delivered with love!"
"A healthy donut made with rice flour, Kurosengoku soybean flour, and Kurosengoku bean paste!"

Conversations like this were flying around, and some customers even made purchases. Thank you very much!

"Lovering" is a heart-shaped baked donut filled with Hokuryu Town's delicious rice flour, Kurosengoku kinako, and Kurosengoku donburi!

These delicious and healthy baked donuts are soft and chewy, with the gentle sweetness and fragrant flavor of Kurosengoku soybeans!

Be sure to try this as a souvenir on your way back from the hot springs!
