Ice candy 's representative of Japan that has not been pressed by long sellers for over 30 yearsGarigari"Honjo Sakura" 5S "factory in Akagi Dairy Milk is known for producing the most ice cream in Japan. You can watch a factory that you can say such "Gorigari's holy place" for free! As I said, I have seen how Garrigaly is created.

The address of "Honjo Senmon Sakura" 5S "factory" which is Garigari's production site is "Kodama Kodama-cho, Honjo City, Saitama Prefecture 850-10", and the nearest station is "Kodama Station" of JR Hachimaku Line.


However, it took about 2.5 kilometers from Kodama station to the factory, so I dared to get off at Honjo station on the JR Takasaki line.


I will take a bus from Rotary's Asahi bus "Honshu Station South Exit" at Honshu Station South Exit.


Such a bus.


About 25 minutes by bus, I arrived at the terminal point "Kodama returning place". The fare is 350 yen, and IC card can be used for payment.


It is approximately 850 meters from Kodama returning place to the factory. That's why I will walk as I make it.


After walking for about 15 minutes I found a factory where Akashiro Milky Wood signs were placed along the river.



This is the Honjo Sakura Sakura "5S" factory. There is one garbage in the premises with a very beautiful building on a vast land. Hygiene management seems to be perfect only for food factories.


Since the truck for transport always comes and goes within the premises, it is necessary to walk along the green line.


There was also a parking lot for visitors to the factory.


According to the guardian, most factory tourists come by private car.


Because "Akagi Dairy milk is said to be garrigal," a big garrigal is drawn on the signboard, and it feels like a factory factory factory.


The entrance is here.


Girigari's huge doll will welcome you.


When entering inside with automatic door ... ...


A shoe box for changing to slippers. In addition, slippers for children are not provided and must be brought.


There are two automatic doors to prevent insects from entering, and the other does not open as long as one is open.


I told that I came to the plant at the reception desk.


First of all alcohol disinfection.


Honjo Sakimoto Sakura "5S" We handed out brochures and postcards from the factory.



Akashiro milk ice cream is sliding next to the reception.



Goodwill of anticipated "ice" is also ants.


First go upstairs by elevator.


The door is cracked spec.


Even in the elevator, you are completely garrigal.



There is a rest space on the second floor where you can wait until the plant tour begins.


As the capacity of the factory tour is 20 persons per time, the waiting space is rather wide.


The backrest of the large sofa is also specially crimson.


On the bookshelf you can find comics of Garrigaly ... ...


Garrigal's picture book.



You can see the ingenuity that children can spend happily, such as face-up billboards that you can become criminally girlfriend.


There are also exhibits that can enjoy not only children but also adults.


Dad, Mom also was excited that "I have familiarity with this package ~".



Orientation will be held before the factory tour.


My older sister who will guide me. In addition, following the orientation, he took charge of the explanation inside the factory.


When the participants arrive at the seat, the start of the slide show.


First of all check the schedule. Company introduction -> DVD viewing -> factory tour -> Garrigali Kimi Square (ice cream sample meal / goods sale - enjoyment). Garrigaly you are overly concerned ... ....


That's why the explanation about Akagiri Milk Industry started with Garrigal's birth parent. Established on December 20, 1967, Honjo Senbon Sakura "5 S" factory is a relatively new factory completed in 2010.


Ice cream made at the Fukaya factory with headquarters and Honjo Sakura Sakura "5S" factory at two major factories will be sent to branches across the country.


Garigari was born in 1981. The price at that time was 50 yen, now 60 yen. Price increase for only over 30 years is only 10 yen at one time. Garrigaly seems to be an excellent student of price. In addition, it was said that Garrigaly at the time of sale was "junior high school student" setting.


Garrigaly in 1992. It is unpopular with women and it was said that there was a claim that "This one can not bring it to the cash register" ... ....


Comical garrigal will change more and more.


In 2000 it is 3D-like.


And it reaches the present.


Then the DVD appreciation party.


Akagi Dairy's history


Established in 1955 as a Hirose store.


After that, in 1951 the organization was changed to a stock company. "Akagi Shigure" released in 1964 recorded an explosive hit.


However, there is also an inconvenient aspect that Akagi Shigure can not be eaten with one hand.


After thinking that I managed to eat ice confection with one hand, it was Garigari who was born.


By the way, what is "5S" of Honjo Senbon Sakura "5S" factory which is the largest ice cream manufacturing factory in Japan?


It is the initial letter of "initialize", "tidy", "cleaning", "cleanliness" and "discipline (discipline)".


In Akagi Dairy Milk, we respect the morals of working people the most, and they are working hard to educate employees and motivate them.


5 ideas for security and security


To the factory, we introduced X-ray inspection machines, metal detectors etc. to thoroughly eliminate contamination of foreign matter ......


By putting on clothes to be worn at the factory, plus inside the factory, and introducing "intermediate use" for wearing in the dining room and rest space, we realize food safety.


In addition, the IC tag is attached to the clothes to wear in the factory, and the mechanism that the door does not open without the IC tag. He said he knew who was when and when.


Various sanitary tools such as cuffs of doubled clothes and shoes and air showers covering the knees are installed.


Considering the health of employees, build a comfortable space.


It seems that we are thoroughly recycling resources by thoroughly separating garbage.


When the orientation is over, we finally go through the red door in the mouth of Garrigaly and start plant tour ....


Although it is from here, shooting / recording is prohibited. That's why I will explain words in the factory like this.

You can observe the state of the factory from the top in a glassed condition. As it is a food factory with sanitary control thoroughly, it is natural to visit through the glass, but a passage is provided so as to surround the factory so that it can be observed quietly in the factory as it is in ordinary clothes, it is obvious It was structured conscious of existence of a visitor in the.

The first thing is "laboratory". Ice cream manufactured on that day is brought in regularly here, and it seems that the taste is checked by a special inspector.

Next is the space where the package design and working clothes of the past Galigali were exhibited. Branding marks for burning "hit" on the ice sticks were also exhibited extensively here.

Suddenly, I notice that every color, such as a passage, a wall, or a woman's clothing that will guide me, is the light blue of "Garigari Kimi Soda Taste". This seems to be the image color of Fukaya factory and Honjo Sakura Sakura "5S" factory, and this color is called "Gariburu".

Next is "manufacturing room". It is a manufacturing process of liquid called ice cream mix which should also be called "raw" of Garigari. Ice cream mix is ​​made by mixing water, sugar, fruit juice, syrup, etc., homogenization, heat sterilization, cooling treatment is done. A giant tank called an aging tank stores 8000 liters of ice cream mix, which means that 100 thousand garlic crickers can be produced per one. 34 tanks were lined up. Masterpiece.

There are two kinds of ice cream mix, and it is mixed with ice which was dark and heavy in color, and the thinner one is used for the outer part of Garigari you. Ice cream mix & quickly cooled in the state of being cooled to -32 degrees after inserting the ice stick with putting the cut ice in the mold. After that, put a little water on the mold, lower the temperature and pull out the ice sticks, you appear to be fine Garrigaly.

After that packing work. In addition, all of these processes are mechanized, ultra-fast work. Thanks to these thorough mechanization, I was impressed that Gurigari 's low price is being maintained.

In addition, manual operation by a skilled worker remained in the packing work of the final process. This is because it is more efficient for humans to do it manually than to switch machines to pack different types of ice cream into boxes. Reliance on 'sense' without counting the number, it seems worth seeing how to pack a garigari or other ice with speed that does not fit in the eyes.

After the factory tour is over, we are waiting for you "Garrigal Kimi Square". It is such a space that you can relax at ease.


In the vicinity of the entrance, an ice box packed with ice of Akagiri milk.


The time of 30 minutes or more was secured, and during the time my favorite ice ceremony was all-you-can-eat.


I also saw the manufacturing process of Garrigal, and my hands extend to the soda taste of Garigari again.



There is also a hot water server for warming up cold body after eating ice cream.


Of course the hand washing place is also ant.


In the corner to sell Garrigal Kimi goods ......



It 's a free UFO catcher.



I tried playing, but the difficulty is rather high.


However, the children who grabbed the trick at once and got the crackling succession.


This is a quiz machine perhaps a factory tour.


If you answer the contents of factory tour with a quiz like this, OK.


Because I mistakenly mistaken one question, I became "research student" rank.


This is lurking with your grin.



A stamp pushing place beside lucky laughter.


I stamped the postcard I received at the reception first.


Garrigal you great Buddha too.


If you write a wish on the ice stick and throw it into the mouth of the Great Buddha, the wish will come true .... Maybe.



There were also Omikuji.


9 types + 1 secret


One person is a rule.


When I drew it, it was "Love Love".


Experience corner like stalls of fun days ... ...


Also a factory-specific preclach "Garipuri" is an ant.


Tamashi is a package exhibition of your past garigari.


It seems there were cola and grapefruit besides soda from the first generation.


Some are "soft men A · B · C" ... ...


Also a sub character such as "Gazillo".


Suddenly when I looked up at the ceiling, I discovered a hidden garrigal in the clouds. There are garrigaly everywhere in the factory, but there are also "hidden garrigaly" secretly blended into the landscape, so it seems to be fun to look for.


So, a fun time in Garrigaly Square ends. Get souvenir on the way home.


The inside was a clear file of Garrigali original and an eraser.


In addition to visiting the production process of Garrigal as well as this, Honjo Senbon Sakura "5 S" factory tour without the satisfaction of all-you-can-eat ice cream full of various entertainment, centered on weekdays except Saturdays and Sundays It is open to the public for free. Draws are held for most of the day because it is limited to 20 people each time 5 times a day. Entries for plant tours are available from the internet as well as round-trip postcards. Since it is not possible to view the application period immediately after application, from 1 day before 3 months prior to the desired date of visit to 20 days before 2 months, it is necessary to apply in a systematic manner.
