Latest update :

Seisen Ryoku is the birthplace of the history of the Kiyosato Highlands and is a symbol of the area.

The vast grounds, located at an altitude of about 1,400 meters, include a Jersey cow ranch, as well as accommodation, restaurants, a museum, and shops.

Today I would like to introduce the specialty soft serve ice cream at Jersey Hat Shop.

The soft serve ice creams sold at the Jersey Hat Shop cost 450 yen each.

Made with organic Jersey milk, it has a rich milk flavor, a deep taste and a smooth texture.

The key to its deliciousness is the rich milk from Jersey cows raised in the lush natural surroundings of the Kiyosato Plateau.

The only flavor of soft serve ice cream they offer is milk, which is the only flavor they have, because they are so confident in their product.

During the Valentine's season, special flavors such as chocolate are sometimes added, so look forward to it.

Seisenryo's soft serve ice cream has a long history, having been created as a menu item at the Seisenryo cafe in the early summer of 1976.

At the time, it was a very expensive dessert, costing 250 yen, but it became popular through word of mouth among hikers in the Yatsugatake Mountains and guests staying at youth hostels, who said it was "rich and delicious."

Its popularity spread nationwide during the "Kiyosato Boom" of the 1980s, and even today there are long lines in the summer.

Enjoying the soft serve ice cream on the terrace whilst looking out at the Yatsugatake Mountains, Mt. Fuji, and the Southern Alps is a special experience.

In the winter, a foot bath will be available! You can spend a luxurious time enjoying the cold soft serve ice cream while keeping your feet warm.

The Jersey Hat Shop also sells souvenirs.

You can purchase Seisenryo original souvenirs, including adorable Jersey cow-themed items and dairy products.

And there is a bakery shop behind it.

All of the breads, made using the famous water from the Yatsugatake Mountains, carefully selected milk, and butter, are delicious and highly recommended.

I actually bought and tried the Milk Melon Bread and Jersey Milk Bread, and they were fluffy and soft, so I highly recommend them.

Next to the bakery shop is a milk bar that sells drinks, burgers, etc.

If you want something light to eat besides soft serve ice cream, this is the place to go.

Seisenryo's soft serve ice cream remains as popular today as it has always been.

If you come to Yatsugatake, be sure to try it.
