What comes to mind when you hear the word "Tokachi"?

Fluffy potatoes, bright red tomatoes, and rich, freshly squeezed milk. The Tokachi region is a treasure trove of delicious things.
Furthermore, the region is also a major producer of red beans and wheat, making it a treasure trove of sweets.

A delightful aroma wafts from both the right and the left, making it a place where you inevitably end up overeating.
Here's a suggestion for you! How about cycling around Tokachi while getting some exercise?

The Tokachi region is vast, and cycling along its endlessly straight roads feels incredibly refreshing.
Sweet treats, fresh air, and refreshing cycling – why not take a bike ride to Tokachi to experience these luxuries?

Donut Lab is a small shop located a little away from the bustling downtown area of ​​Obihiro.
It's located about 1.4km from the Rokkatei main store, along a shopping street lined with famous shops in Obihiro.

It's a small shop, so it's a little hard to find, but when you do find it, just finding it makes you happy—it's a cute little green building.

The shop is bright, and a sweet, pleasant scent fills the entire space.

Donut Lab is a shop started by the owner with the desire to create safe and secure snacks that he would even feed to his own children.
They have a deep commitment to their ingredients, and most of them are sourced from Hokkaido and Tokachi.
No preservatives or additives are used.

Made with local ingredients and crafted with love, these donuts bring a smile to everyone's face with every bite.

Everyone is surprised when they try Donut Lab's donuts because they're not greasy at all.
This is because they are very particular about the oil used as an ingredient, and they use a superior oil that adheres to the donut dough 70% less than regular salad oil.

Donuts can feel heavy and make it difficult to eat them all, often leading to the feeling that "one is enough." However, Donut Lab's donuts are easy to eat and less taxing on the body, so you'll find yourself gobbling them down one after another, and before you know it, you've eaten three, four...
Donut Lab's delicious donuts will bring a big, round smile to your face.

The interior is warm and inviting, with the warmth of wood palpable and sunlight streaming in through the large windows.
The owners, a husband and wife, are both from Honshu, and Hokkaido was a place they had longed to visit since their days as bakers.

Having fulfilled my dream and opened my shop, I aspire to be the bakery closest to Tokachi's wheat farmers, and I spend my days experimenting and refining my techniques to express Tokachi wheat through bread.

Hoping to give people a chance to think about life and food, they started accepting visitors to the farm.

The number is increasing year by year, and along with that,
Voices began to spread saying, "I want to try the milk from the farm!" and "I want to try dairy products like ice cream!"
