2026 Hokkaido Latest Snack Recommendations | On-site Staff's Tasting and New Product Review Report
I participated in the "Hokkaido Product Business Matching Fair" held on June 10th.
This is an exhibition and business matching fair where companies and producers dealing in Hokkaido products can conduct business discussions with buyers and distributors. We sampled products, listened to presentations from manufacturers, and engaged in business negotiations.
This article will share my impressions of the fair and the products I liked.

1. Before entering the venue
First, I was surprised by how large the hotel was. The attendees were all dressed in formal suits and looked like executives, which made me very nervous. (I was wearing a red shirt and carrying a pink North Face bag, I had no idea what I was doing 😌)
After checking in and entering the venue, I was amazed by the astonishing number of booths, with each manufacturer having their own exhibition space. I started to feel excited, realizing that being able to conduct business with these impressive manufacturers would be very beneficial for my own growth. It was also my first time exchanging business cards, and I was incredibly nervous.
2. Impressive products
【Kitami Suzuki Seika】Premium Yubari Melon Chocolate Sandwich Cookie
Chocolate sandwich cookies made with Yubari melon.
Known as the "King of Fruits," Yubari melon is characterized by its fragrant aroma and rich sweetness.
Since this is a product I personally enjoy eating, I had a long conversation with the manufacturer at their booth.
【Kitami Suzuki Seika】Yubari Melon Konjac Jelly
Yubari Melon Konjac Jelly, a box of 12 pieces. It is completely different from regular konjac jelly. Simply put, the melon flavor of this jelly is so rich that it is almost like the Yubari melon itself. What surprised me was that such a premium product could be purchased at an affordable price.
3. Overall impressions
Not only did I gain product knowledge and learn about the hidden charms of Hokkaido products, but I also heard many valuable stories from various manufacturers. This experience was truly wonderful and very helpful for my growth.
