Hokkaido Melon & Hokkaido Corn Fair to be held in August

Hokkaido, the melon kingdom, boasts the second largest yield of melons in Japan. Many red-fleshed melons with bright orange are characterized by their strong sweetness and melt-in-your-mouth texture. They are rich in potassium, and the carotene content of the red flesh is outstanding among fruits. It is also effective in preventing summer fatigue, as its sugar content provides an immediate source of energy.

Hokkaido is also the number one producer of corn in Japan, accounting for more than 40% of the national share. Corn is high in insoluble dietary fiber, which regulates the intestinal environment and stimulates intestinal movement. Although the hot weather may reduce your appetite, we are sure that these seasonal fruits and vegetables will whet your appetite.

* Amusement park ticket or hotel stay is required for admission to Rusutsu Resort (The Westin Rusutsu Resort is available without amusement park admission or hotel stay).

Amusement park: various melon sweets

Bright orange flesh and juicy sweet melon juice. The lineup of melon sweets will make you happy from the moment you hold them in your hands. The most eye-catching is the melon soft-serve ice cream, which consists of half a melon topped with soft-serve ice cream. Other sweets available include melon parfait, melon smoothies, melon smoothie soft serve, etc.

Izakaya Kakashi: Pickled melon only available for a short time

One melon bears two or three fruits, and the excess will be removed to ensure that a large fruit grows. The early picked melons are made into pickles. The fruity and crunchy texture, the aroma of sesame seeds and salted kelp make it a great snack for alcoholic beverages.

The Kakashi-style corn pizza, which is easy to eat for both adults and children, is made with corn, Rusutsu pork, Tokachi cheese, and summer vegetables (tomatoes, eggplant, and bell peppers), and served with Kakashi’s original garlic mayo sauce. For dessert, we have prepared red flesh cut melon, which you can sample at the end of the meal.
