北のもみたろう
On a certain weekday, after bookmarking for a long time, I finally had the opportunity to visit this cake shop in Kita-ku, Sapporo, run by the owner who is originally from Asahikawa. There is also an eat-in space available. The parking lot can accommodate a few cars in front of the shop. The shop is spacious for a cake shop, with a showcase displaying elaborate cakes, traditional ones, and dry sweets. There is a small eat-in space with a counter for six seats and one table. The background music playing is stylish Western music. From the menu on this day, I couldn't decide what to order, but eventually settled on the "Cream Puff (single 250 yen)" and couldn't resist getting the "Apple Pie (single 260 yen)" and "Hot Coffee (single 400 yen)" with fruits and ice cream on the side, so one of them was treated as the "Cake Set (700 yen)." Even though I couldn't decide on a cake, the owner, who was waiting with a smile, kindly took my order. Let's take a bite... Mmm, the cream puff has a nice balance. The fluffy cream piled high on the light and crispy choux pastry has a subtle sweetness and a milk flavor, making it delicious. There is also a creamy custard at the bottom, which was unexpectedly excellent. Next, the apple pie also tastes great. The shiny pie crust with a beautiful color has a buttery texture and a slightly firm bite, while the apples inside are not only sweet but also have a rich syrupy taste, making it a recommended dish for those who like intense flavors in their apple pie. Additionally, the set includes vanilla ice cream, tangy blueberries, grapefruit, oranges, kiwi, and strawberries on top of the delicious cream and powdered sugar. Finally, I enjoyed a cup of hotel-quality coffee before finishing. Most customers seem to take their orders to go, but the limited seating area provides a relaxing space, and the complimentary homemade wet towel service was a nice touch. I enjoyed the consistently delicious cakes. Thank you for the meal.
