平岡公園(位於札幌市清田區)以梅花而著名。園內種植約1200株的梅樹,每年5月時白色與鮮豔的粉紅色梅花一同綻放。在日本本州梅花會比櫻花早一點開花,然而在札幌梅花幾乎與櫻花同時期盛開。在梅花的時節,商店也會販賣梅子口味的霜淇淋。此外附近也有大型超市AEON。
Hiraoka Park (Sapporo City Kiyota-ku) is famous for ume blossoms. Ume translates to Japanese apricot in English. Both white and vivid pink flowers of the ume tree bloom at the same time in this park, typically in May every year. Ume flowers bloom a little earlier than cherries do in Honshu, however, in Sapporo, ume and cherry trees bloom at nearly the same time. In the season, ume flavored food, such as soft ice cream and noodles, appear on menus at the shops in the park. Aeon, one of the bigger super market chains in Japan, is located near this park.
