Three Proposals for "Ebetsu Tsutaya Bookstore"

■ "Food" Building - A town that makes you want to go on a food tour -
The key to a fulfilling life is food. The "Food" building aims to be Hokkaido's number one comprehensive food proposal, and will propose a total "food culture" that is connected by stories, including not only "eating," but also "knowing," "reading," "coloring," "nurturing," and "making."

●Connecting and deepening our relationship with food through books, miscellaneous goods, and cooking utensils
We offer a wide range of food suggestions through books, magazines, cooking utensils, kitchen goods, and events.

●A food park where you can enjoy a variety of foods
A popular food shop based in Hokkaido has opened a new store with an eat-in space in the center with 120 seats.
