Graubunden is a local bakery which sells cakes, cookies, and fresh sandwiches. Opening hours are in the picture and coming here you can always expect a good healthy sized meal. To get here take bus number 1 from Niseko Grand Hirafu ski slopes and get off at stop number 24. A quick walk around the area should get you to its front doorstep. Prices are not exactly on the cheap side but you get extremely large sized portions, so it about evens out. A quick stop here for coffee and some breakfast is probably the best way to go before spending a good 5 hours or more on the ski slopes. Well this is what we did anyway. They also do takeout if your in a hurry to get back to skiing and just want to throw something down.
Prices vary depending on what you are eating, but there’s is hardly anything here cheaper than 400 yen and can over a 1000 for some sandwiches. But again the giant sized portions make up for it. The sandwiches here are extremely fresh and are like everything else very large. There is a few different types of bread you can choose from and a wide variety of sandwiches. I purchased the Original Graubunden and was not disappointed. If your staying at one of the local east lodges there isn’t really too much selection unless you head into town, and that is what make’s this restaurant quite expensive (in my opinion). A couple thousand yen got us, some onion rings, a sandwich each, potato chips, a slice of cake, and 2 drinks. The drink menu here is also quite extensive with several different kinds of shakes and home made fruit juices. After out stomachs seemed to expload we finished off with a good sized fruit cake with an abundance of fruits gracing its top later, with a pie like tart on the bottom. This by far was the best part of the meal and would no doubt eat one again, if I had the chance.
On the way out we picked up some home made cookies that we ate for snacks as we spent the rest of the day skiing. If your hungry and have a little bit of spare money lying around, you should definitely visit Graubunden. There’s one thing that I can guarantee here – for the normal person, after eating here and leaving, your stomach will be full!
