The Takanashi Milk Parlor, a direct sales office for Takanashi Milk, is located on the second basement floor of Sogo Yokohama. Soft serve ice cream and milk drinks made from pasteurized milk that makes the best use of the deliciousness of raw milk are sold here. It's so delicious that I think "Is this a ranch?"

The fluffy fromage blanc, which is limited in production, is also delicious. This is a gem that cheese lovers should definitely try!

◆ Light and light, rich in taste

The signature menu is soft serve ice cream (400 yen, tax included, same below) using pasteurized milk from Kuzumaki, Iwate Prefecture. You can choose from cones or cups.


This is delicious anyway! Rather than being mellow and rich, it has a refreshing taste like gelato, but the taste is very strong! Feeling like that. It melts gently on the tongue, leaving a smooth milky richness.



I want people who are not good at milk to try it, rather than those who like milk! There is no dullness and the aftertaste is refreshing, and only the good points of fresh milk have a condensed taste. I don't really like drinking milk as it is, but I love it.

◆ Fromage to eat as it is

The "Brise de mer FAISSELLE" that you can buy at the store is a must-try item for cheese connoisseurs. The price is 400 yen with 100g (3.53oz).


This is fromage blanc, which is made from flavorful milk from the Neku district of Hokkaido, fermented at low temperature for a long time, and packed in a fessel (drainage basket). It features a crunchy texture and a fresh, creamy milky taste.


Remove the drainage basket from the cup, transfer to a plate and sprinkle with olive oil, rock salt, black pepper, etc. to finish. It is recommended that you feel the taste of the cheese itself straight with a simple seasoning.



When I try to eat it, it tastes like drained yogurt. It is thick and fluffy, but it melts softly on the tongue, with a slight sweetness, a light acidity, and the richness of milk.


You can season it with salt or sprinkle it with honey or nuts to make it sweet. It seems that it can be widely arranged for side dishes and snacks. The price is a little expensive, but it's a cheese packed with specialties. Why not try it on a day when you want a little extravagance?
