On October 23, 2021 (Sat), revisiting the "Rokkatei Maruyama Store" in Hokkaido during the autumn trip. I purchased souvenirs at my favorite store. I used to buy them at New Chitose Airport on the way back, but recently, it has become a custom to stop by a suburban store in Sapporo. It's nice to be able to choose without crowds! I bought the Marseille Butter Sand and Chestnut Sweet Potato, among others. The store is decorated with seasonal flowers, which is always a pleasure to see. This time, with Halloween approaching, pumpkins were the main decoration, adding a festive touch. The staff who assisted were all kind and polite, making shopping comfortable and enjoyable.

I visited in the evening the other day. The place was packed with tourists, so I had to wait a bit. They were sold out of cakes, so I ordered pancakes instead. The hot coffee was refillable, which was nice. The pancakes were firm and tasted just as I expected. I enjoyed them with butter and maple syrup.

Rokkatei is famous for their butter sandwiches souvenirs, but not many people know that their suburban stores have cafes. The Maruyama store, which is mainly accessed by car, attracts many local customers. The spacious interior is very comfortable, and the food is delicious. However, today's highlight is the summer limited edition Rokkatei ice caramel flavor. Unlike the trendy and expensive shaved ice, this simple shaved ice costs 700 yen. It has a unique crunchy texture that I have never experienced before. The caramel sauce is not too sweet and easy to eat. It is also enjoyable to dip the provided Marseille biscuit into the melting ice. My family loved the biscuits, so I bought a 24-piece pack for 1270 yen, which is a great deal. Enjoying the Rokkatei ice while looking up at the lush Maruyama forest is a wonderful way to spend the summer vacation. It's a great summer break.

I wanted to chat with a friend, so I went to Rokkaen. The inside of the restaurant was busy with many families. The atmosphere inside was bright, and the staff were very polite. I had coffee and cheesecake, both of which were delicious. I was able to get a refill on my coffee and ended up staying longer than I should have. Despite that, the staff were still friendly and I had a great time.

I visited "Rokkatei Maruyama Store". I waited for about 20 minutes on a weekday after 12:00, with 3 groups ahead of me. - Summer Vegetable Pizza 1,100 yen - Tomohiro-style Hayashi Rice 1,200 yen - Rokka Ice (Strawberry & Matcha) 700 yen - Cold Shiruko 580 yen - Coupe (Poroshiri) 400 yen The atmosphere was open and the greenery of Maruyama Park next door was beautiful. You can ask the staff for a birthday song. On the first floor, Rokkatei sweets are also sold. It is a popular cafe for locals and tourists alike.

I visited at 10:50 on a weekday. There were only two tables available. Luckily, there were four of us so it worked out. We had pizza, beef stew, pancakes, and shaved ice. Despite the limited menu, we were very satisfied. It was a cozy experience as always.

The shaved ice season has started again. I love cold sweet red bean soup so much that I wish it was available all year round. Even in the cold weather, I still crave something cold to eat. Shaved ice might be too much for winter, but I would love to have cold sweet red bean soup even in the winter! I started with the strawberry flavor at Rokkatei Ice.

I visited the cafe around 12:30 on a weekday and had to wait for about 15 minutes before being seated as it was full. I tried the Clam and Shiitake Mushroom Arugula Pizza (1,100 yen), Cheese Souffle (285 yen), Original Blend Tea (450 yen), and Lemon Tea (450 yen). This cafe is a must-visit when in Sapporo, it has a lovely atmosphere with a view of the greenery of Maruyama Park from the large windows. The arugula pizza and fluffy cheese souffle were delicious. The floral tableware at Rokkatei is so cute, I wish I could buy them! The shop offers various sweets, cakes, dressings, frozen rice, and even Jingisukan (grilled lamb) - quite surprising! It's always worth visiting to discover new things. Be sure to check out Rokkatei's official Instagram too. Shop info: Rokkatei, 174 Minami 2 Jonishi 27 Chome, Chuo-ku, Sapporo, Hokkaido. 4 minutes walk from Maruyama Koen Station. Phone: 0120-12-6666. Open from 9:00 to 18:30, cafe open from 10:30 to 17:30 (last order at 17:00). Closed on Tuesdays. Parking available.

We had lunch at Rokkatei's Maruyama store. It's right next to Maruyama Terrace, so even though we went around 11 o'clock, we had to wait a little. We ordered this month's pizza, shimeji and clam basil pizza. I'm not sure what it was, but the spices were amazing. It might have been the best pizza I've ever had at a restaurant. I could have easily eaten two pieces in a row. After 12 o'clock, a line started forming, so going early is recommended. And of course, the cakes looked delicious too.

My mother-in-law bought Chimaki and Sasa Dango from Rokkatei in Maruyama for Children's Day. Today, we gratefully enjoy them. The Chimaki comes in two flavors, normal and brown sugar, with my older daughter wanting the brown sugar flavor. There is no visual difference between the two, so I chose one based on intuition. It turned out to be the normal flavor, a good omen. The Chimaki is wrapped in three real bamboo leaves and has a subtle, elegant taste. It was delicious. Thank you for the treat!

I purchased a butter sandwich at Rokkatei near Maruyama Park. The soft, crunchy cookie dough filled with plenty of butter cream and raisins was delicious, a classic and still good.

This time, I went aiming for a birthday present. A few years ago, it used to be for the birth month, but now it's only on the day of the birthday. Still, you get a cake and a drink, with a service worth almost 1000 yen. For the drink, you can choose from strawberry milk and strawberry juice, and for the cake, you can pick from the showcase on the first floor, the cake of the month, or the Premium 25 Chocolate. You need to order at least one item from the cafe menu, but it seems like it's okay if your companion orders it. They politely decline the birthday candle on the day of your birthday, no singing service was offered this time, maybe due to COVID. They did say "Congratulations" when serving, which made me smile. My family ordered lemon tea and it came with lemon syrup instead of lemon slices, which was nice. I would like to use this service again if the timing is right. Thank you for the meal.

This is a store of Rokkatei located a 2-3 minute walk from Maruyama Koen Station on the Sapporo Municipal Subway Tozai Line. The first floor of the standalone building is a sweets shop, while the second floor is a cafe. I always visit this area whenever I come to Sapporo, but this time I learned for the first time that there is a Rokkatei store here. The opportunity came when I was shopping at a tea house in the Hokkaido Shrine grounds, which is part of the same chain. The staff told me that if I made a point card, I could use the points from that day's shopping to have coffee at this cafe. With that information, I had no choice but to visit. On my way back to the city center on the subway, I stopped by the store located just off the circular road. It was around 3:30 PM, and unfortunately, the restaurant with about 30 seats was full. I wrote my name on the waiting list and was seated at a table by the window after about 20 minutes. I ordered a hot coffee for myself for 400 yen or 25 points, and my companion ordered the popular strawberry juice for 530 yen. Since it was a special item with a limited shelf life of 2 hours available only at stores with cooking facilities, I also ordered two "Yukon Cheese" for 250 yen each. While waiting after being served the coffee, a staff member in a chef's outfit brought the "Yukon Cheese" from the kitchen within a few minutes. This confection is a popular product from Rokkatei, where the chocolate in "Yukiyanako" is replaced with baked cheesecake in a thin cocoa biscuit. It seems that it is made to order and has a shelf life of 2 hours due to the cake's moisture making the biscuit soft over time. When I tried it, the refreshing acidity of the cheesecake and the bitterness of the cocoa biscuit were a perfect match. The crispy texture of the extremely thin biscuit was also good. I only came here because of the coffee I could get with points, but unexpectedly, I was able to have a delicious experience. Additionally, the coffee, which can be refilled for free, was also delicious. My companion also enjoyed the strawberry juice very much. I must express my gratitude to the staff at the Shrine Tea House who told me about this place.

The condition is that the companion must order something, so it's not possible to go alone, and it's only valid for that day. Please note ⭐️ You can choose one dessert and one drink. If you show your ID, the service is free for the person themselves. I was accompanied by a friend. I could choose any dessert from the showcase or the menu, but there was only chocolate cake in the showcase, so I went with the recommended pudding cake, which was more expensive. I had a café au lait for my drink. Thank you for the meal. The dessert was unusually delicious. I usually prefer cream puffs.

It had been a while since I visited, and I noticed that the partitions had been moved from facing each other to the side of the next table. It was easier to hear and talk! It was a cold day, so I had some hot sweet red bean soup. It was served in a clay pot, piping hot and delicious! The pancakes were as tasty as ever, and I ended up having three cups of coffee. Haha.

After finishing breakfast and returning to the office, I was unexpectedly asked to run an errand to Rokkatei. It was a shop I used to visit occasionally in the past, so there was a sense of nostalgia. As I decided what to buy and waited in line at the register, I noticed a mountain of dorayaki nearby. "Goyosatsu Dorayaki"!? It seemed like something had changed... I could have sworn it used to be "Goyosatsu Dorayaki." I couldn't resist and picked one up, then headed to the register. This dorayaki is so delicious, priced at just 160 yen including tax, only 10 yen more than regular dorayaki. I brought it back to the car, opened the bag, and cut it in half. Oh, it hasn't changed at all. The azuki beans are almost intact, making the red bean paste. You can taste the deliciousness of the azuki beans themselves in this exceptional treat. When I took a bite, I could truly savor it. This kind of dorayaki is not something you find everywhere.

The impression of the shop is that the first floor is a neat souvenir shop, but the second floor is a very clean and beautifully designed shop with wide seating spaces, mainly in white. It's a place that you don't often see or enter in Tokyo. I went for lunch and ordered Hayashi Rice and a seasonal limited Gâteau Chocolat-like dessert (I forgot the name). The Hayashi Rice was delicious with lots of ingredients, and it had a natural taste. The Gâteau Chocolat was just amazing, with a subtle sweetness and a moist texture that paired perfectly with the chilled sensation. The shortcake was also delicious, but I highly recommend trying something like the Gâteau Chocolat.

Before going to the shrine, I had lunch. I was lucky to be seated by the window with a great view. I ordered beef stew with bread. Looking around, I saw calm couples, groups of friends, grandpas, grandmas, and grandchildren. My beef stew was bubbling hot. It looked so hot that I was afraid of burning myself. I cautiously scooped some with a spoon and blew on it before eating. It was delicious - the meat was tender, the bread was crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. It was a leisurely and tasty lunch. Thank you for the meal.

Sapporo Jingu Shrine to Maruyama Koen Station is near Rokkatei Tea Room. Because I walked, I felt like having something sweet. Well, maybe it's because I walked, so I deserve something sweet. No, no, it's because I walked, so I can have something sweet, right? No need for excuses. I just like sweet things. I really wanted to have a shortcake, but it was sold out... So, I had a dessert with shortcake cream instead. I ordered a strawberry parfait and a strawberry juice. The cream in the parfait was delicious. It was different from the cream in a shortcake, but it was amazing. The strawberry juice was made with just strawberries, a little sugar, and water. It was really delicious... so full of strawberries. I couldn't resist ordering hotcakes with plenty of butter and syrup. The fluffy texture and the delicious taste of the cake were irresistible. I also couldn't resist ordering the hot pudding that I've been craving since last month... It's especially good in the cold season. Rokkatei Tea Room. Delicious. - Strawberry Parfait ¥600 - Strawberry Juice ¥530 - Hotcakes ¥650 - Hot Pudding ¥550 Thank you for the meal.

Wandering novice curry mania / rookie ramen mania, a solitary middle-aged man. This is a memorandum-like review. If you are looking for concise information about the restaurant and food, please move on to other reviews here. On New Year's Day, I visit the local shrine, and on the 2nd, I visit the Hokkaido Shrine. It has become a tradition for me. And as part of the shrine visit, I always stop by here. Going up to the second floor where there is a cafe, the clean restroom is also a nice convenience. This year, the weather is not as cold as usual, probably around 3-4 degrees Celsius? There is no wind, and the weather is clear. It's a calm New Year. Compared to previous years, there were surprisingly few visitors this year. It was about half the usual crowd. In any case, it's very much appreciated to have a year where things go smoothly. I arrived around 11 am (on a Monday) and the restaurant was full, so I got a waiting ticket and went to the restroom first (laughs). I was the third group in line as a waiting customer. I didn't have to wait more than 5 minutes, and I got a seat when someone left. This time, I planned to eat somewhere else, so I opted for something light (the outcome of the meal was different though). I ordered a Strawberry Parfait, Hot Pudding, and a Hot Coffee, totaling 2,000 yen including tax (650 yen + 550 yen + 400 yen + 400 yen). The hot coffee didn't have a special feeling. But it was nice to have free refills, especially for someone with a slightly cold body. The Strawberry Parfait looked interesting from the menu image, and as a sweet tooth, I wanted to try it. It arrived in less than 10 minutes from ordering. The portion seemed a bit on the expensive side compared to the rising prices of shortcakes. The Strawberry Parfait consisted of whipped cream, strawberries, vanilla ice cream, strawberry sherbet, and a macaron. The whipped cream was not too sweet, and the strawberries were not too sour, making it easy to eat. I enjoyed it, although I thought a bit more sponge would have added to the parfait feel. The Hot Pudding was a moist sponge-like pudding with warm custard sauce poured over it. Diced sweet potatoes and apples were hidden behind the pudding. The custard sauce was poured by the staff. The "rum-flavored" aspect was not too strong. When I tried a bit, the pudding had a "sweet potato" flavor. It makes sense. If it had a custard flavor, it would clash with the custard sauce. Overall, the "sweet potato" flavor was quite pronounced, but it was elegantly presented and delicious. Hmm, it's too early to worry about next year now... As for the dishes I haven't tried here, there's only the "pizza" left. What should I do next year...

It was my birthday, and I knew that if you go on your birthday, you can get a free cake set. I hadn't been able to go before because my schedule didn't allow it, but I finally made it this year. The strawberry parfait I wanted was not included in the free set, so I ordered it separately, while my companion got the free shortcake. It was busy because it was the end of the year, but the staff were friendly. I would like to come back when it's someone else's birthday. Thank you for the meal! :)
