La Laiterie Nakashibetsu

Yoghurt Gelateria in Hokkaido's Milk Town

Amanda Ho   - 1 min read

Opened in the 1990's, La Laiterie Nakashibetsu is a small cosy cafe serving fresh hand-made yogurt products in Nakashibetsu. A one minute drive from Nakashibetsu airport, this is a good place to chill and relax while waiting for flights or on the way home from the airport.

Using fresh milk from Nakashibestu, a town known for its dairy products, the yogurt products are freshly made and range from yogurt drinks, yogurt ice cream, yogurt gelato to non-yogurt items like coffee, toast and dumplings. Be sure to try their specialty block cheese made from the area’s milk. There are seasonal products as well like rhubarb jam in September. Delivery within Japan is also possible.

I still clearly remember the day I first landed in Japan, and since then it has been my goal to set foot in all 47 prefectures. I try to look for less touristy areas, preferring the countryside to the city. I'm always amazed by the many Haagen Dazs and ice cream flavors available only in Japan.
