I made a reservation to use points on a reservation site. I used a coupon that allowed me to choose 2 of my favorite apple pies for 777 yen! The store was small, and the staff were very friendly and accommodating. Each pie was around 500 yen, so it was a good deal! I chose the Tarte Tatin and the Strawberry Apple Pie. I ate them as soon as I got home, and they were delicious. The strawberries were not sour even though they were not in season, and the Tarte Tatin was made with care. I am very satisfied! Thank you for the meal!

Located under the elevated tracks of JR Kuwaen Station in the Kuwaen area, this apple pie shop is a great place to stop by. After having lunch at a nearby restaurant, I decided to purchase some apple pies here for home. Although I have visited different branches in Sapporo before, this was my first time at this particular shop. Inside the showcase, there were various types of apple pies displayed, and this time I bought the "Fruit-packed Apple Pie (410 yen)" and the "Custard-packed Apple Pie (380 yen)". I tried the fruit-packed one, which had a generous amount of apple chunks and a mild sweetness, allowing me to enjoy it until the last bite. My wife enjoyed the custard-packed one as well. Although it may be a bit pricey, I believe it is a good choice for those who love apple pies.

On my way to a business trip, I stopped by to satisfy my hunger. I was looking for something quick and easy to eat, and I found the perfect match - Custard Stick Apple Pie. It's in stick form, perfect for eating on the go! Although I ended up eating it leisurely at work, the taste was great. The custard was rich and the apple pie was delicious. The apple pies here are more like cakes or custard pies rather than traditional apple pies. They have interesting flavors like Cheesecake Apple Pie or Tiramisu Apple Pie. Looking back at the photos, I noticed they also have a tea-flavored stick apple pie. I might try that next time. Thank you for the meal.

Wow! I heard there's an apple pie specialty shop in Hokkaido that I haven't been to yet, so I decided to check it out. I went to Kuoen, where the shop is located under the station guard and near Kuoen Aeon. There are many branches of this popular shop. Until the end of April, if you spend over 1000 yen, you can get one free pie out of five choices: Fruit Apple Pie, Custard Apple Pie, Old American Apple Pie, Rum Raisin Apple Pie, or Black Tea Apple Pie. When I visited, they were out of Black Tea and Old American, so I tried the Rum Raisin Apple Pie. The prices are around 400 yen each, so it's a great deal to get a free pie when you buy three! They have unique varieties like Hokkaido Rare Cheesecake Apple Pie and Shortcake Apple Pie. The Fruit Apple Pie has chunky fruit pieces, not completely transparent, with a bit of a chewy texture. The Rum Raisin Apple Pie was a new experience for me and surprisingly delicious! I felt like I could eat twice as much of the Shortcake Apple Pie because it was so good! I definitely want to go back before the end of April! Thank you for the delicious meal!

There is an apple pie specialty store in front of Sanyuen Station. I often passed by the store but never had the chance to visit until my birthday. They had a promotion where you get one free on your birthday and another free if you spend over 1000 yen, so I ended up buying five pies. The best one was the Florentine. The crispy surface really brings out the apple flavor. Highly recommended. The second best was the rum raisin. All the flavors had a solid apple pie base. They also take orders for birthday pies with custom designs. The staff were friendly, so I think I found my new favorite spot.

On a certain weekday, I remembered a place I had not visited before and stumbled upon a shop specializing in apple pie near JR Kuwanazono Station on the east side of the guard. There doesn't seem to be a dedicated parking lot. The interior of the shop is compact, with a refrigerated showcase immediately upon entering. From the menu on that day, I chose a few items that seemed like they would last a while. The "Fruit-filled Apple Pie (410 yen)" seemed familiar, but I had completely forgotten about it, so I purchased it based on the name alone. The pie had a thin crust on top, and underneath were large slices of apples packed in! It was slightly moist yet crispy, with a strong apple flavor. The crust, which was slightly firmer than average and not too buttery, was to my personal liking. I also purchased the "Sweet Potato Apple Pie (465 yen)" which was listed as a "fall limited edition." Upon tasting it, I could faintly sense the cinnamon, and the sweet potato with just the right amount of sweetness was accompanied by the sweet and sour apples. I remembered that in the past, there was only one shop in town, making it highly sought after and popular. However, with shops now popping up everywhere, it has become less rare, and it seems like it will now be a competition based on quality. Thank you for the meal.

Wandering rookie curry mania/ramen mania dining alone. This is a memo-like review from an old man. If you are looking for concise information about the restaurant and dishes, please check out other reviews. This is my second time visiting "Isenjo" to have ramen after my appointment at the municipal hospital. Last time, I tried the three types of classic apple pies and confirmed that they are my type with "no strong flavors". The prices are reasonable, around 400 yen per piece. So this time, I decided to try the "Shortcake-style Apple Pie" that I skipped last time. Looking into the showcase, I also saw a light apple pie. I ordered the following: Ark Crispy Apple Pie, Shortcake Apple Pie, and Truffle Chocolate Apple Pie, totaling 1263 yen including tax. My thoughts after trying them... As the title suggests, the "Ark Crispy" has a light and crispy pastry with a generous amount of mildly sweet custard cream inside. Hmm, the custard cream seems different from last time. Maybe the texture changed due to heating after being spread on the pastry and baked? When comparing the custard creams, I found that I prefer the one in the classic apple pie. The "Shortcake-style" and "Truffle Chocolate" both have apple paste spread on a tart-like base, but the apple flavor gets overshadowed and lacks presence. Personally, I think if they could enhance the apple flavor and make it more intense, it would be better. The whipped cream also lacks the expected richness and sweetness. When I asked the staff, they mentioned using different types of apples in autumn to winter. I don't know what kind of apples they use, but I look forward to experiencing more unique flavors.

Wandering rookie curry mania / rookie ramen mania, a solo middle-aged man. This is a memo-like review for those interested in brief information about the restaurant and food. If you are looking for concise information about the restaurant and food, please move on to other reviews around here. During a break between appointments at the municipal hospital, I had lunch at "Gyoza and Men Ise no Jou" located in SOEN EAST PLAZA. The restaurant caught my eye as it faces the outside of SOEN EAST PLAZA (facing AEON Sapporo Kuwazono store), so I was already familiar with it. Originally, I had known about the restaurant located near Nishi 18-chome Station on the Tozai Line. I had been curious about it but hadn't had the chance to try it out. I have a weakness for apple pie, which is not approved by my family as only I like it. Apparently, they absolutely do not approve of "heating apples." However, I enjoy strawberry jam (which is heated). This time, after enduring tests until the day before, I wanted to let loose and also because I couldn't go to the same "Sankakuyama" as a substitute... When I peeked from the outside, I could also see something like strawberry shortcake. I thought it was an "apple pie specialty store," but they also sell shortcakes. According to the staff, the shortcake-like structure is based on apple pie. Oh, I see. That's interesting. So, I couldn't buy some for my family to take home... I requested three types of apple pie that they were serving that day: Custard-rich Apple Pie, Fruit-filled Apple Pie, and Old American Apple Pie, for a total of 1188 yen (389 yen + 410 yen + 389 yen). All three types are light, without a strong taste, and easy to eat apple pies. The apple varieties available at this time of year may be of this type. I don't like apple pies with a strong acidity or cinnamon. I have very few memories of enjoying apple pie as a child, as the type I ate occasionally had a strong acidity and cinnamon. Since becoming an adult, I have started to enjoy apple jams and apple pie-like pastries that can be easily obtained. In recent years, I have also become a fan of the slightly sweet apple pie at "Donguri" (the one available only on weekends). Now, let's talk about how they tasted. The custard from "Sankakuyama Apple Pie Specialty Store" is different from the common yellow, thick, and creamy custard. It is slightly sweet, not very sticky, and less viscous. I initially couldn't distinguish the custard's presence because I thought it was the same as the custard in other apple pies, so I wondered if I was eating the "Fruit-filled" one. The custard is unique, slightly restrained, but with a distinctive taste that makes you want to eat more. The apple pies have two layers: one where the apples are solidly cooked and the other where the apples are lightly cooked for a crunchy texture, which is the same for "Fruit-filled." As expected, "Fruit-filled" is filled with plenty of apples, to the point where you can clearly see the two layers. On the other hand, "Custard-rich" has a layer of distinctive custard under the two layers, where two types of apples are placed. Lastly, "Old American" has cinnamon sprinkled on top of the pie. I think there was only one type of apple cooked solidly. Under the apples, there was a slightly thin layer of custard. For those who believe that apple pie should be made in a classical style, this type may feel lacking. The butter flavor in the pie crust is not very strong, although I think it was used. This kind of structure makes it feel light and crispy. The pie was crispy and well-made. As we head into autumn and early winter, the use of...

Today, I purchased an apple pie from Sankakuyama Apple Pie shop. I tried the summer limited edition lemon mousse apple pie, which was refreshing with a perfect balance of acidity and sweetness. The fruit-filled apple pie was mostly filled with apples except for the crust. I was actually looking for the tiramisu apple pie, but it wasn't available in the showcase, so I will have to visit again.

I stumbled upon an apple pie specialty store while walking by. I have been to the one near Nishi 18th Street Station before, but I didn't know there was one here too. It had been a while since I had apple pie, so I decided to go in and try it out. I ordered the limited-time menu item: - Hokkaido Rare Cheese Apple Pie for ¥400 I felt that the rare cheese was a bit sweeter than usual. The apple part was quite sweet, so personally, I wished the cheesecake part had a bit more acidity. But well, that's how apple pie usually is. It was delicious.

This shop is located on the side of a building opposite JR Kuwanazono Station, facing the back entrance of Gusto at Aeon Kuwanazono. I stopped by on my way back from a visit to the municipal hospital. It seems to be a relatively new shop, and I used it for the first time. I bought a Basque cheese apple pie and an adult tiramisu apple pie. I don't remember the exact price, but they were both in the 400 yen range. Buying cakes in this price range takes courage for me, as I am not rich. And buying just one cake seemed strange, so I ended up buying two. It was a rare luxury for me. Both were delicious. If I have the chance, I would like to try a different kind (probably a fruit apple pie) in the future. Thank you for the meal☆

Under the JR Kuwon High-rise East Plaza in December 2020, I visited Kuwon for the first time in a while and found a new store there. I needed a gift, so it was perfect to buy it here. I also decided to get something for home as well. When I entered, there were rows of products in front of me. There were regular apple pies, but the unique variations were more attractive! I was hesitating, but the automatic door that opened with just a slight movement was so responsive that I couldn't resist. I chose the following items: Adult Tiramisu Apple Pie for 440 yen - a slightly bitter adult taste, not too sweet; Basque Cheesecake Apple Pie for 430 yen - sweet and fragrant with caramelized cheese, and half of it is apple pie, so you won't get tired of eating it. Both have an apple pie base with a cake hybrid crust that is crispy. The apple filling does not have cinnamon, making it suitable for any flavor. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

After finishing work near the Kuwanazono Station, I decided to stop by a nearby shop before heading home. I searched for a shop and found this one - the West 18th Street store and the 24th Street store were familiar, but the Kuwanazono store was new to me. It was within walking distance, so I decided to check it out. Upon entering the shop, I was greeted by a display case filled with a variety of apple pies, from traditional ones to unique ones like a strawberry shortcake-inspired one. This shop had some interesting apple pie options. I decided to try the chestnut Mont Blanc and the Apple Ark, which was a slightly unconventional apple pie. The chestnut Mont Blanc had a soft pastry base with apples, plenty of whipped cream on top, and chestnut cream. The apples had a hint of cinnamon but didn't overpower the chestnut flavor. The chestnuts on top were sweet and had a good texture. The Apple Ark had a rectangular pastry filled with custard cream and large chunks of apple. The pastry was crispy, and the apples had a nice balance of sweetness and acidity, complemented by the subtly sweet custard cream. I enjoy coming back to this shop because they always have a variety of apple pies to choose from. It's fun to try different flavors each time. I might come back to try another unique apple pie next time. Thank you for the delicious treats!

I found it a bit strange that a shop opened so close to my home on Nishi 17th Street, but I decided to stop by and check it out. I usually don't buy things like Totoron or apple pie, but I must say that they are quite tasty when I do have them. This time, I was intrigued by the variety of options available, and I ended up trying the limited edition caramel cream and strawberry short apple pie. Both offered a new and enjoyable way to experience apple pie. I also tried the custard stick apple pie, which is a convenient handheld option, although the pastry tends to crumble easily. Overall, it was a delicious experience.

I intended to go buy bread, but my plans changed when I saw a newly opened apple pie specialty store. As soon as I walked in, I saw a display case filled with cakes. To the left were two types of apple pie. In front of me was...??? Cake. It didn't look like apple pie. Apparently, the toppings were placed on top of the apple pie. It was quite interesting. There were many options to choose from, making it difficult to decide. I chose two types of normal apple pie and also the limited edition salted caramel apple pie. Depending on the type, each pie cost around 380-450 yen. I'm looking forward to trying them. Now, I'm going to take them home and enjoy them. The normal apple pie and the cake apple pie had different colors of apples. The cake apple pie had a darker color. The cake apple pie perfectly combined the cake and apple pie. You can eat just the top or eat it all together for a delicious combination of the apple's texture and the cake. The custard apple pie had a firm custard filling with a gentle flavor. I like the apple pie with plenty of fruit filling the most. It had so much apple in it, and it paired perfectly with the flaky pie crust. I devoured it in no time. I really liked it. I might try the Basque cheesecake and tiramisu next time. The apple pie with plenty of fruit filling is a must-have.

I was able to visit the 24th Autumn Great Hokkaido Fair being held at JR Nagoya Takashimaya on the final day after waiting in line for about 40 minutes. I bought custard and cheese apple pie which was very delicious and had a generous portion. I would love to eat it again. It was convenient to use PayPay for payment.

The food at this restaurant is absolutely delicious! The service is also top-notch. I highly recommend trying their signature dish.
