【Non-smoking】It all started from a small bakery in Minamisato 7-chome, where the super popular menu item, Chikuwa Bread, was born. Now, there are more stores popping up. This particular store is located in the commercial facility directly connected to Kotoni Station on the Tozai Subway Line, Aeon Sapporo Kotoni Store. The location of Aeon Sapporo Kotoni Store is right at the intersection of Doro Doro 276 (Kotoni-Sakaemachi Street) and Niju Yonken-Teine Street. There are entrances on both the Aeon side and the outside at Don Guri Kotoni Store. 2023/5/26 17:00 Revisited Kotoni Stroll 30min. The 5th stop is here, because I came to the Chikakoto area, I definitely wanted the Butter Rolls from Don Guri Kotoni♡ The main store is by far the best, and I've only bought from the Nishioka store once, so I'll put it on hold. Among all the stores, it competes for 2nd or 3rd place in deliciousness with the Ebetsu store. Today, I'll just buy the Butter Rolls and go home. 3 for 177 yen. I wanted about 10, but I've already spent a lot of money today, so I'll hold back. Eating at home (´～｀) Chewy texture, crispy baking, the amount of moisture, and the wheaty fragrance. I eat it with margarine without reheating it, and it's still delicious. It's perfect for me (#^.^#)

Don Guri, a super famous bakery in Sapporo, has a branch at AEON Kotoni store on the 1st floor. They offer a variety of delicious breads from the morning opening. The basil sausage, salmon cream cheese, and grilled salmon bread were all tasty. The chikuwa stuffed with camembert cheese was also delicious. The bean salad was simple and tasty, mostly made of edamame. I will definitely go back!

Do you know what this animal-like bread is supposed to resemble? It looks like something out of a child's drawing and I couldn't resist buying it. The taste is not bad either. I bought the one with plenty of red bean paste, as I love red bean paste. This is the first time I've had a bread with this much red bean paste. It's amazing. The red bean paste is not too sweet, but with this amount, I think they could have used less. And then there's the cream brulee-like bread... so delicious! Oh, I'm worried about the calories, but I want to eat it again. The moderate sweetness and rich cream are irresistible. It's delicious.

It is located on the 1st floor of the Ion Kotoni store. There are so many varieties, I always end up buying too much! I usually end up buying about 5-6 pieces of sweet bread. Today, I managed to resist and only bought 3 pieces! (I really had to hold back! lol) Today's purchases were: [Camembert Imomochi] ¥172 tax included, [Salt Bread] ¥118 tax included, [Miso Bread] ¥151 tax included. The Camembert Imomochi is a bread with Camembert cheese melting inside, it's chewy and delicious! The Salt Bread is small but tasty. The Miso Bread has a nice flavor, the bread is soft like castella. I enjoyed them as a late-night snack! It was delicious! Thank you for the meal! Bye-bye! (^^)/

I don't really remember what I bought, so buying four of them in that situation is something Yome-san wouldn't do. We stayed at a hotel in Koto-ku with two people in Sapporo. Even if they say "it's good here", Susukino is obviously the best place to go. We drank at two places, took out from three places, and decided to drink at the hotel. The hotel was the venue for the third party, and I had been curious about it for a long time. It was Yome-san who stopped by. Why did you put four on the tray? I thought. But the next day, I had already forgotten. Were you that drunk? I had chiffon cake for breakfast. It's fluffy chiffon cake. It's sweet. I think of a chiffon cake from a confectionery shop, but it's different from a cake-type one. Still, it's delicious, as expected of Donguri. It's a bean bread, right? It's the one with various beans in it. The standard for bean bread is the mochi mochi texture. There are quite a few dry ones, but this one has a moist and chewy dough. As expected of Donguri, it's delicious. There are various beans in it, and when heated, the discomfort may increase. The slight saltiness may also come from the fact that it was heated.

Yesterday, after eating ramen nearby, I stopped by and bought red bean paste bun, pumpkin paste bun, and bean bun (made with Daisho Kinshu beans). Both types of buns cost ¥140 each including tax, while the bean buns cost ¥243 for 3 including tax. When I picked up the red bean paste bun with tongs, it felt heavier than expected for its size! However, the skin felt a bit too soft... The pumpkin bun was the same. I decided to leave them at home until today, as I had high hopes. Unfortunately, someone had already eaten the bean buns. I wanted to try them myself, but oh well. When I brought the red bean paste bun and pumpkin bun home on my bike, they got a bit squished due to the soft skin and generous amount of paste. When I cut them in half, the key factor turned out to be the amount of paste. For this price, the amount of paste in both buns was quite impressive. When I tried them, the paste was delicious in both. The pumpkin bun, which is a rare find for me, was surprisingly tasty. It strikes a good balance between not too sweet and maintaining the flavor of the pumpkin, while bringing out the deliciousness of the bun. The red bean paste was also delicious, but it was overshadowed by the pumpkin.

After lunch with a friend, I bought a delicious mentaiko France bread at the nostalgic Donguri store in the Ion parking lot. I reheated it the next morning and it was delicious. Thank you for the meal. This Ion used to be a Daiei. It brought back memories of taking the bus from this bus terminal to high school.

I had soup spaghetti for lunch and now I'm on my way back home. I'm taking a bus from Konoe Bus Terminal to Asahikawa Station, but this route only runs every 30 minutes. So, should I stop by the shop across the terminal to adjust my time? This shop has been in business since the days when it was still Daiei Konoe store. The building was built in April of Showa 52, so it's quite... (laughs). Back then, the Tozai Line only ran between Konoe and Shiraoi, so it was bustling. Well, when it was extended to Miyanosawa and Shin-Sapporo, the number of customers dropped... There aren't any large commercial facilities, but the old Kitaniijuyo Station was also a terminal, so it was lively. But this bakery is always busy. The eat-in corner is always packed with older ladies (laughs). I chose the "Bacon Bread for 172 yen" and the "Chikuwa Bread for 183 yen." The Bacon Bread has bacon inside a hollowed-out French bread, seasoned with soy sauce. It has a great flavor and goes well with beer. The Chikuwa Bread, with tuna salad inside the chikuwa as an ingredient, is baked to a chewy texture and is the number one bestseller, a classic from Donguri-san (laughs). The tuna salad does a great job... Ah, it was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

Don Guri-san's stores have a consistent taste across locations, making it easy to purchase without hesitation. This store also seemed very busy, almost reaching full capacity. I quickly bought home some melon bread, salted bread, croissant, and apple pie before leaving. There is nothing particularly special, but the taste is always reliable. Consistency is important.

Review of the bread purchased this time. Well, I always end up buying the Zangi skewers, haha. - Braised Pork Bun: A classic menu item at Donguri. The surface is generously covered with white sesame seeds, and inside, a whole block of braised pork is included. The taste and portion size are just right, not too heavy on the stomach, so I often buy it for breakfast. - Salt Bread: I didn't eat it fresh out of the oven, so it lacked the crispy texture, but it had a consistent taste and texture. - Zangi Skewers: Consistent. The taste is too good to resist. Despite knowing it's high in calories, the deliciousness is irresistible. Even if I plan to eat just one, before I know it, I end up eating all three. It's dangerously delicious! Will buy it again. - French Toast Pudding: French toast with a pudding flavor. It's not a type of bread I usually see, and the taste seemed to suit my preference, so I bought it. Upon trying it, the egg mixture didn't penetrate as much into the bread as I had hoped, which was disappointing. The texture is firm, but I was expecting a more moist and sweet taste, so I probably won't buy it again. - Mini Croissant: Despite its small size, it's packed inside and feels quite substantial. It has a good bite to it, so it's best to eat it gradually. It might be a bit heavy for a snack though. It was delicious, but there weren't any new items that left a lasting impression this time. I'll continue to review items I'm interested in and the usual favorites. Thank you for the meal.

"Donguri" Sapporo has become a place I only visit when I have a purpose. In the past, more than half of my visits were for the purpose of using coupons from food review sites. But has my savings increased? Not really, as I, an old man who can't sit still at home, have acquired new hobbies, causing my money to decrease instead. If I run out of money, I'll just become a star in the sky. I'll do what I want to do. For my birthday celebration, I heard that I'm going to make sandwiches. Despite having plenty of other delicious dishes, why sandwiches? Apparently, they have a good reputation with the kids. It's made with Donguri's bread. I don't have a strong impression of it, but I remember seeing news about long lines forming there a while back. I'm being threatened to eat bread spread with homemade jam. I'm a butter enthusiast, and I really don't like jam. But the bread is so delicious that it's hard to resist. It's incredibly soft, even up to the crust, which is moist. It has a natural sweetness, and both the jam and the bread taste great. Especially the bread, it's amazing how soft and moist it is. I once again realize that it's truly delicious bread.

I bought some pastries on my way home from work. I got the Mentaiko France, Croissant Amande, and Hojicha Roll. The Croissant Amande was moist and different from a regular croissant because it had almond on top, giving it a rich sweetness and aroma. The Mentaiko France was delicious as always, with its hard texture complementing the spicy cod roe. I tend to buy a lot when I stop by this bakery. I'll try out any new items that catch my eye in the future.

Sticky rice flour bread, not too hard even though it's not in a bag on display. Chocolate roll? (Forgot the name) Often seen in convenience stores, a bread with chocolate mixed in. Walnut bread, not round but long and slim. Miso bread, slightly sweet with a hint of miso flavor, similar to mitarashi dango. Good for snacks. Red bean paste bread, moist dough filled with plenty of red bean paste. Mini croissant, sweet and soft croissant. When freshly baked, it's soft and buttery or margariney. Either way, it's a tasty treat that you can't stop eating.

There is a cafe that I love at the Ion (formerly Daiei) similar to a koto, and I visit it once or twice a month. After enjoying a delicious coffee as usual, I buy ingredients in the food section on my way home. My wife, for a change, suggested, "Let's take a look at Donguri!" Donguri, known for their chikuwa bread, has expanded to many stores in Sapporo and Hakodate. I used to go there often in the past, but their product display became messy in recent years, so I stopped going. Recently, due to the influence of COVID-19, the messy display has improved significantly. I bought a bread with edamame and cream cheese. It's a bit questionable for breakfast, but it was delicious. The edamame and cheese ciabatta had plenty of edamame and processed cheese. The fruit and cheese bread had cream cheese with walnuts, raisins, oranges, and other dried fruits. The bread was semi-hard and the combination of cream cheese and dried fruits was delicious. It had been a while since I visited Donguri, but their products are still tasty. If they can maintain this kind of display, I will continue to buy from them. Thank you for the delicious meal!

Lunch at a cafe-like place♪ Due to the heavy snow, the usual narrow alley leading to the parking lot is a potential spot for getting stuck (;＞_＜;), so I parked at the nearby Aeon mall instead. From there, I walked to the front of Aeon and noticed a sign for DONGURI CAFE, which I had never seen before! While you can enter from inside Aeon, you can also enter from outside. It seems like the bakery DONGURI has now started serving drinks and set up a cafe corner? Or maybe they created a cafe space to offer drinks? Either way, let's consider it as a cafe since there is a sign for DONGURI CAFE. I ordered a cafe au lait for 280 yen. There are counter seats and table seats, with USB power outlets available at the counter. There is also wifi, so hopefully it can be used like a Starbucks, but I hope that older folks who are not familiar with smartphones won't occupy the place as a rest area♪

Spring Fair Chocolate Noel Chocolate has a similar taste to the swirl one. The chocolate is crispy and delicious. It stays moist even without heating. Honey French - It feels a bit dense and the flavor is light if not heated, so it's better when heated to bring out the full honey flavor and taste delicious. Strawberry Chiffon - It comes with four slices of strawberries. The amount of whipped cream is a bit less, but it's still satisfying. The chiffon cake is delicious on its own, so I always end up buying it even without any toppings. Sausage Curry Chicken Sandwich - Rice bread.

I stopped by at Donguri for a walk, as per my family's request. I bought cinnamon rolls, mentaiko egg, teritama chicken, strawberry cream chiffon, salt bread, strawberry coronet, and chocolate coronet. The strawberry cream chiffon was like eating a shortcake, delicious but a bit costly. Thank you for the meal, I will visit again.

I stopped by because I was craving Don Guri's curry bread and cinnamon rolls for the first time in a while. While many cinnamon roll specialty stores have too much icing coating, making it overly sweet, Don Guri's has a more subtle sweetness, allowing you to enjoy the deliciousness of the bread dough. It tastes even better when you warm it up a little in the toaster at home.

Everyone loves the bakery called Donguri. Whenever I see it, I can't help but buy something. Especially their Zangi skewers are huge and delicious, always satisfying. I always have to order them. Their cookies and baked goods are also great value for money and taste delicious, highly recommended. I often buy muffins here too. This time, I bought something called Showa Donuts. It's like an old-fashioned donut, with a retro taste and texture. It's moist and delicious. I'm thinking of trying something different next time I visit. I'll write a review again when I do.

Chikuwa bread is delicious, right? Whenever I pass by, I can't help but stop by. I always end up getting a variety of items. The Chirikonkan at the Kotoni store was delicious. It had spicy meat and beans, perfect for summer. The baked curry with lots of summer vegetables was also tasty. The yomogi anpan I bought was soft and chewy when freshly baked. Both the savory and sweet bread are delicious. The prices are reasonable too, which is great.

Last month, when I went to the area near Kotoni, I found an acorn inside the Aeon where I stopped for shopping! My companion got excited when they saw the signboard for "BBQ Burger" and wanted to try it! I wondered if they also have daily changing bread or other acorns like that. They all looked delicious, so if you're a fan of acorns, you might end up going there often (playing right into their hands). My favorite is the Mayocorn, while my companion got the BBQ Burger and a cream-filled bread, totaling 3 items. The Mayocorn had plenty of mayonnaise and corn on a soft and fluffy bread, delicious as it looked. I tasted the BBQ Burger, but the meat was tough, the BBQ sauce was too sweet and sticky, and the buns were soggy, so it was quite disappointing for the price. The cream bread had an abundance of cream, more than a regular cream bun. It would definitely make someone who loves whipped cream very happy. Despite my complaints, I think I'll end up buying from another branch again (lol). Thank you, "Kotoni store"!
