I was really surprised when I came across a retro-looking shop while driving on the road, it was like a wax figure museum. I decided to check it out since I was looking for antiques, and when I entered the shop, I was like, "Huh? They're selling biscuits here?" It turns out they were actually a biscuit manufacturing and selling shop. I couldn't resist and bought a few small packets of biscuits. I couldn't wait until I got home to try them, so I ate a sesame biscuit in the car, and it brought back memories of my childhood. The biscuits were nostalgic and delicious, with a simple taste and texture that I couldn't resist. I will definitely be going back to this shop in the future.

Founded over 70 years ago (including the starch factory era in Shibetsu City, making it a century old). It is also listed on Wikipedia. They sell biscuits at the shop attached to the factory. The "Shio Aji Fry" here is nostalgic. When I was a child, I used to eat it in a big bag as a snack. Now that I am an adult, I enjoyed the small bag for 90 yen as a beer snack. The volume is just right for a 350ml can. The saltiness is also perfect. It's delicious. Thank you.

It's 24 Kens. On the way back while walking. I realized I had never seen the exhibit inside Saka Biscuit, so I stopped by. The store was filled with maniacal goods, almost to the point of feeling a bit uncomfortable. I felt like I might be scolded if I took a photo in the store, so I quickly bought some ABC Biscuits and headed home. When I brought them home, my mom asked, "Did you buy this?" I replied, "I bought them at Saka Biscuit!" She then asked, "How much?" I said, "XX yen." She said, "The supermarket sells them for XX yen!" In the end, it turned out to be more expensive. The A-shaped Biscuits had just the right amount of salt and tasted nostalgic. I enjoyed them. It was a somewhat frustrating review! Thank you for the meal.

This is a nostalgic factory direct sales store of Sakabiscuit (*'ω'*). I wonder if people from outside the area are not familiar with this place? I bought the "Line Sand" (350g economy size) for 280 yen, taking advantage of the factory direct sales store. It's a light biscuit with light cream inside, giving off a retro Showa era vibe...!! It's nostalgic and delicious (*'ω'*). There were a lot of them, but once you start eating them, you can't stop (laughs). Many people seem to come here for the retro space. There are many retro goods to see. However... there are many early Morning Musume goods, and I felt the flow of time, wondering if Morning Musume is also retro... (laughs). Admission to the retro space is free, but there are signs asking you to purchase biscuits. If I have the chance, I would like to buy the economy size again (*'ω'*).

On September 12, 2019 (Thursday), I had a special day off on Wednesday in addition to my regular days off on Thursday and Friday. I decided to take a short trip by riding the ferry that connects Miyako City in Iwate Prefecture and Muroran City in Hokkaido for a 3-day weekend. I was born in Morioka but moved to Sapporo shortly after, where I spent my time until I was in 7th grade. One of the purposes of this trip was to visit the house I used to live in, the elementary and junior high schools I attended, and reminisce on the memories. One of the places I visited was "Saka Biscuit," a shop located just a 5-minute bike ride from the house where I lived until I was in 7th grade. I found out that the shop was still in business through Tabelog, and I was excited to visit during this trip. I entered the shop and saw the familiar "Saka Biscuit" sign, which brought back nostalgic memories. I remembered my mother occasionally buying biscuits from this shop when I was younger. I purchased a pack of "Shio Fry A-shaped Biscuits" for 160 yen, which had alphabet-shaped biscuits that I remembered from my childhood. I was filled with joy and nostalgia as I reminisced about the past. I initially bought one pack but later went back to the shop amidst heavy rain and bought another pack, realizing that one pack wouldn't be enough to share with my parents. I finally enjoyed the biscuits with my parents the next day, and we all loved the nostalgic taste. The biscuits had a gentle sweetness with a hint of saltiness, reminiscent of the salt soft-serve ice cream from a roadside station in Iwate. It was a delightful experience to taste the familiar biscuits from my childhood. Overall, the nostalgic "Shio Fry A-shaped Biscuits" from Saka Biscuit were delicious and brought back fond memories.

As the weather got warmer, I was able to go out on my bicycle and decided to visit this interesting shop I found on Tabelog. They had a variety of old-fashioned sweets that I remembered from my childhood. I wanted to buy more, but I was afraid of crushing the sweets on my way back home, so I ended up buying two different kinds. The attached retro space called Sakakai-kan was really fascinating. I recommend visiting it when you come here. I actually spent more time looking at the retro space than choosing the sweets. They had a lot of old idol-related goods and dolls on display, and I was surprised by how clean everything was. I wonder how they keep it dust-free. Please note that they are closed during Golden Week (4/28-5/6), so be careful if you plan to visit during that time. Liner sandwich (160 yen): I wonder if I've had this sweet before. I can't remember, but it feels strangely nostalgic. It's a biscuit with cream in between. I think I'll buy some to take home next time I visit my parents. They might say, "You used to eat this a lot as a child." Beer cracker (110 yen): According to the shop's website, this is a snack developed in collaboration with Sapporo Beer. It's a bite-sized salty cracker. I enjoyed it with coffee. It's a delicious cracker that goes well with coffee. It also came with a bean snack that was really tasty.

"Saka Nutrition Foods" is a long-established store that has been selling delicious biscuits like "Shio Aji Fry" and "Line Sand" since I was a child. I used to buy their snacks every time I passed by, but it seems that they have stopped selling them in recent years (tears). The retro space next door, which is a remnant of the Showa era, is a must-see! All the biscuits here are delicious, and I want to continue buying and supporting them to help maintain the retro space. Thank you, "Saka Biscuits"! :)

There are multiple entrances, so it is possible to visit only the shop, but... It is a place where you can feel grateful to be alive in this day and age.

The English biscuit is 10 pieces for 1000 yen, and the accompanying retro space Sakaikai-kan museum is quite suspicious (free admission). Cards are not accepted.

Along the old Route 5, there is a noticeable presence of "Sakae Nutritional Foods Sakae Biscuit Store." People who have passed by will surely remember it. It has been featured on TV a few times, but I saw on TV that parents of young children in the neighborhood do not want to bring their children close to the store. The atmosphere of the "retro space" adjacent to the store selling biscuits may give off that impression. Visible from the street are mannequins wearing flashy women's underwear, adding to the suspicious vibe. In the past, the store used to sell "broken biscuits" from the factory at a cheap price, which was popular, but it seems they are no longer selling them. I tried the "sesame stick" and it was very convenient for snacking at home - I finished it in about three days. I occasionally stop by. Thank you for the meal.

Visited the outlet store of the main factory of Sakano Biscuit, which can be considered a soul food for the people of Hokkaido, around 11 am on Saturday, June 18, 2016. The store offers discounted items like broken biscuits, and local ladies stop by while shopping in the area. On this day, I purchased sesame sticks (100g - \90, 200g - \160) and Hokkaido biscuits (90g - \90, 175g - \160). The sesame sticks, in particular, have a nostalgic taste that I have enjoyed since long ago. I compared them to Ginbis, which have a similar shape, but Sakano's flavor is much better. They also go well with beer or highball. Next to this factory, there is a place called "Retro Space Sakakan" which is like an antique collection exhibition hall, filled with various nostalgic items. It's truly a must-see place, and many people come here just for this. It's easy to spend about an hour looking around. The museum is facing difficulties in continuing its operations, so there is a request to support it by purchasing biscuits. Admission is free.

This is a place I've always wanted to visit. I think it's a deep spot in Sapporo, haha. I'm really interested in hidden treasures, and I even went with a friend before it closed down because I like weird things. Finally, I infiltrated Retro Space Saka!!! The store is packed with retro items lined up one after another! The variety is so wide-ranging that it's difficult to explain what kind of store it is. It feels chaotic? There were lots of kokeshi dolls, lots of nude photos on display, and for some reason, there were also relatively new items like stationery and Sailor Moon goods haha. There were also lots of Taku-Gin goods. Many Jenny dolls tied with string too haha. There are plenty of books and videos related to SM too. It's too interesting. They don't charge money. As you go further inside, they sell biscuits haha. You can even taste them. I still like the salted A-shaped fries the most ❤️ but I bought some cookies that you can only get here. They had a strong margarine taste and no flavor, just okay cookies. I think Morinaga's Moonlight ones are tastier haha. But if you're looking for a simple taste, it's not bad. Anyway, this is a place you must visit at least once!!! I love it haha. Thank you for the meal!

I was very interested in this shop that Myrebi visited when she returned to Sapporo in September 2015. They mentioned that it's a place for solo travelers or those who won't be surprised by anything, so I decided to visit alone! There is a parking lot next to the store, and from there, you enter a retro space. I nervously entered and was immediately struck by the strong retro vibes. This is definitely not a place for families. The store is filled with retro items, and I was greeted by the curator. It was impressive to see all the items they have collected. As I walked further in, I found a bright store with classic A biscuits and sesame cookies. The biscuits had the perfect amount of salt and were a timeless classic. It was a very stimulating retro space!

▼Ordered items ◎ Handmade cookies (various flavors) 200 yen ◎ Health food around 150 yen I visited this place, which is quite famous in some circles, mainly to see the annex. The collection of rare and valuable items gathered by the curator! I haven't actually been to the Treasure Hall, but I imagine it's similar to that. Now, about the main cookies, they were just, well, delicious! It's tempting to say, "they're just tasty cookies!" The combination of delicious cookies and the shady annex is indescribable. The annex is facing a crisis and we need everyone to sign the petition, so please help out＞＜ Thank you for the meal!

This is a direct sales store for Sakabiscuit. In addition to regular products, they also sell discounted outlet items that are cracked but still taste great and look good. I bought a large bag of mixed biscuits with various flavors and enjoyed trying different tastes. I visited on November 16, 2013 (Saturday) in the evening, and ordered the Cracked Biscuit Large Bag for 100 yen. The biscuits have a simple taste and are perfect for enjoying with tea. The store is very affordable, and if you buy in bulk, there are additional benefits. They also have a retro space next door displaying various curious items. The biscuits have a nostalgic taste that Hokkaido locals may be familiar with.

Roteba-chan & Rote Aunt, Rote Mother, on the way to Otaru, made a discovery. I had a vague feeling about the existence of this building even during my student days. However, this time I stopped by for the first time. My recent obsession with biscuits is abnormal... Excitedly, I parked my car behind the building and approached the store. Danger!! Danger!! The smell is dangerous!! Looking up, mannequins in swimsuits are looking down at me from the second floor. It's not just one. They are lined up in a row. What is this place!? Next to the biscuit shop... it says Retro Space. Upon entering, I was shocked!! Rika-chan is being tied up in all sorts of ways!! Roteba-chan innocently says, "Oh! She's tied up so her arms and legs don't come off." No, grandma! This is a kinky play!!... Without saying that, we proceed inside. The most intense part is here, where it is indeed a retro space. Antiques and junk items are lined up in a cramped space. Further in, finally the biscuit shop. Broken biscuits for 100 yen, as well as other bargain items are sold in a space less than 1/4 of the retro space. After much deliberation, I bought about 9 bags of broken biscuits, which contain all varieties of biscuits. Rote Aunt also bought over 10 bags, so we got an extra bag as a gift. There are also samples available for tasting, so you can choose your favorite. Customers with children seem to enter from the entrance on the national highway side without passing through the retro space. Well, that SM space might be too stimulating for children (laughs). Even though I lived in Hokkaido for four years, I had never heard of Saka Biscuits... Buying 10 bags means I can still enjoy them every day even two months later. I want to go buy more again!!

<Visited multiple times until October 2012> This roadside stand always catches my eye when I pass by. I like biscuits that are not too sweet, so I always buy some when my stock runs out. I also tried the recommended line sand biscuit, which was simple and delicious! I bought alphabet-shaped biscuits as a souvenir for a friend's child. The displays are subtly changed, which makes it fun. I can't post photos, but oh well (laughs). Thank you for the meal. I'll be back again soon! Below is a previous post: I have visited many times, but choosing photos is difficult so I always put it off (laughs). I love the 100 yen "broken" items. Lately, I've been buying the not-so-sweet "square crackers" a lot. They are easy to fill with ingredients and eat on the go! They are convenient when I'm short on time. I also bring them in small portions for hiking. They may be crumbly, but since they are labeled as "broken," it doesn't bother me. But in reality, as harudannji mentioned, they are hardly broken and very reasonable (laughs). The hand-baked cookie series lined up in front, as onikuma also mentioned, is not great value for money – that's why the "broken" items are so attractive! Thank you for the meal. Now, onto the main topic? The president's hobby space is indeed interesting and popular among retro enthusiasts. As the president said, "I don't display things like in a museum, but rather items that intrigued our ancestors." He has filled the space with everyday items and local goods that reflect real life and experiences. The collection is vast, and through many connections, he has gathered and organized various items that can only be purchased on the spot. Just looking at the items on display is quite enjoyable, but if you're interested, he will explain various things, including the second floor that is currently not open to the public. Lately, he seems to have trouble with theft, as many people find items and don't feel guilty taking them, which is a sad situation he often talks about. I always feel compelled to support places like this run by individuals, as they face many challenges due to their proximity. When I go on hot spring tours, I also enjoy interesting collections from all over the country, but this place is the best in Hokkaido. "Broken biscuits" about three types, 270g each for 100 yen – plenty! "Hand-baked cookies" chocolate chip, cocoa almond, etc., 70g for 100 yen – pseudo-goods "Old Sakabiscuit logo matches" for 100 yen. As I enjoy outdoor activities and don't smoke, I still find matches intriguing (although I mostly use lighters now, not being able to start a fire is critical, so I always bring spares). The matches are neatly stored and displayed, but it seems it's a struggle to keep them in place...

I heard from a friend that there is a factory direct sale for discounted biscuits at 100 yen, so I decided to check it out. I often see these biscuits being sold at supermarkets, but I didn't know there was a factory direct sale. Unfortunately, they are only open on Saturdays since they are closed on Sundays and holidays. The discounted biscuits come in a large bag of 270g for only 100 yen each! If you buy 10 bags, you get one bag for free. The biscuits are not broken at all and are a great deal compared to buying them at the supermarket. They also have crackers that go well with beer as a snack, and they are perfect for kids' snacks too. You can also try samples before making a purchase. They offer self-service hojicha tea that you can pour from the pot.

＊＊＊＊＊ Revisit I visit this place regularly, almost every month, because of my dad's snacks. My dad used to be a fan of cigarettes and Meiji Black Chocolate bars, but in recent years, he has started enjoying a variety of biscuits more. Every time I go to buy snacks, my mom always says, "I'll order more," so I end up buying 30 packs of biscuits. They have a special offer where you get 1 pack free for every 10 packs you buy, so I end up with 33 packs, giving away 30 and keeping the remaining 3 as a bonus. This time, my mom insisted that we don't need that many, so I sadly left behind this huge quantity. Tom loves these cream-filled biscuits, which are quietly his favorite. I love them all, but these biscuits hold a special place in my heart. Revisit Located on the old Route 5, this retro building houses a gallery space and a snack shop that has been around for a long time. To cut to the chase, I only buy discounted snacks here. They are what you would call "imperfect goods" but honestly, they taste just like regular snacks. They are more than enough for personal consumption, but they also sell regular products. Most people come here to buy discounted snacks in bulk. The taste is simple and traditional, which I love. Next to the snack shop, there is a gallery space filled with vintage toys and knick-knacks. It's fun just to browse through them. This local shop is a gem, and I think it's a great place to visit, especially for tourists.
