This is a souvenir from Tokachi Diary, ¥5000 for 33 pieces. I was planning to buy cream puffs for myself on the way back, but they were sold out. The journey to the lucky bag is far, so I'm considering using my points. If they don't accumulate by the end of the year, they will expire, so I'll have to redeem them. I also want to try the buffet at the main store.

The Tokachi Nisshi's classic Marseille butter sand, which contains 17 types and 19 pieces of various sweets packed tightly in a box, is a delicious Western confectionery that exudes the unmistakable goodness of its ingredients. In addition to Western sweets, there are also monaka and yokan included. You can enjoy a variety of confectioneries from Rokkatei that you may have seen in stores but never tried. Highly recommended.

After several years, I tried Marusei's butter sandwich again. I used to be really into it in the past. Marusei's butter sandwich comes in a pack of 10 for 1450 yen, with each piece being 168 calories. There are so many raisins in it that you might be surprised (laughs). The moist cookie with rich buttercream goes well with white chocolate and raisins! It was delicious (*´艸｀*)

My mother is starting to live alone again, so I thought I would make a cookie tin and leave it for her. Somehow, having some cookies when feeling lonely can bring a little happiness. The tin is in a Christmas version, and my mother was happy about it. She would open the tin and choose what she wanted to eat. As the cookies started to run low, I added more.

Huh? Have you ever been to Rokkatei here? They have autumn-themed menus now! - Potato Pie: It was delicious with chunks of sweet potatoes inside the crispy pie. The sweet aroma of butter and sweet potatoes was amazing. It might have been even better if I had warmed it up a bit. - New Chestnut Chantilly: It was like a refreshing Mont Blanc. The chestnuts were crumbly, and the cream at the bottom was tasty when mixed together. I couldn't really taste the rum. It was a bit pricey at 300 yen each, but it was a simple yet autumnal treat. - Ohagi: In spring, they sell "botamochi," and in autumn, it's "ohagi." It's 140 yen per piece with sweet red bean paste. The right balance of saltiness from the sticky rice and sweetness from the red bean paste made it delicious. I enjoyed these seasonal limited edition items at Rokkatei. However, they don't accept PayPay, so I had to borrow money from my husband to pay for it. Thank you for the meal!

I came to the entrance/exit of the ion. Shall we buy some snacks for the office lady Sachan? Oh! They are sold individually! ← The stingy boss smirked (laughs) and bought only 2 each. Let's have them as snacks in the office tomorrow. Yukiya Konko for 95 yen and Marusei Biscuit for 50 yen. Thank you! (^^)v

After finishing some errands at the airport and before heading home, I went shopping for dinner ingredients at Aeon Chitose store. While walking around the store, I came across my favorite shop, Rokkatei. Whenever I see Rokkatei, I must stop by! On this day, I bought Marusei Butter Sand, Menkoi Ohirahara, Goma Daifuku, and Mizugoyomi (water yokan). Butter Sand is a favorite of my companion, while Menkoi Ohirahara is my favorite! Goma Daifuku is a limited edition daifuku that changes with the seasons, filled with plenty of sesame paste and delicious Tokachi red bean paste. I hope they make it a regular item! My companion enjoyed the Mizugoyomi. I love Rokkatei, so whenever I see it, I will definitely visit another branch in the future. Thank you, Aeon Chitose store, for the delicious treats!

"I visited the store on Monday around 6pm. I had some errands at the mall and decided to stop by Rokkatei on my way back. I used to love Rokkatei in the past. They have a simple yet elegant and stylish selection of traditional Japanese sweets. I haven't been there in a while, but whenever I come, I always have a hard time choosing! I purchased the following items: - Crispy Karinto Gokuraku for 160 yen - Hachijuhachiya for 400 yen I bought the monthly special sweets. Seasonal sweets always have a special charm, right? Hachijuhachiya is a matcha-flavored sweet dumpling with sweet red bean paste inside. You sprinkle matcha on it before eating, so the matcha flavor is really strong. It's not too sweet and perfect for adults who enjoy Japanese sweets. Crispy Karinto is a new product! It's bite-sized karinto, easy to eat and just the right size. It's crispy and light, with a mild sweetness that goes well with tea. I still love Rokkatei! While their souvenir sweets are nice, I also feel like buying these home-use sweets at a reasonable price from time to time!"

Image Blog ⇒ "http://kouji328.blog59.fc2.com/blog-entry-3715.html" The familiar logo on white wrapping paper, the thin box of Rokkatei's Marusei Butter Sand, which contains 5 pieces for 650 yen including tax. About 40% of Rokkatei's sales come from this Marusei Butter Sand. Marusei Butter Sand WEB ******************************** Rokkatei's original biscuit made with North American wheat flour, sandwiched with a cream made from white chocolate, 100% Hokkaido fresh milk butter, and California raisins. Ingredients: butter, wheat flour, raisins, sugar, fresh milk, cocoa butter, almond powder, rum, liqueur, brandy, salt, leavening agent, flavoring, plant lecithin. Released in 1977 as a reference to Ogawa-ken's Raisin Witch to commemorate Rokkatei's name change. Ogawa-ken uses shortening in the cream, while Rokkatei sandwiches raisin butter made with white chocolate and butter between biscuits, resulting in a crispy texture even after some time. It gained popularity in the late 1990s and became nationally known in the early 2000s. By the way, "Marusei" is written with the character "成" inside the circle. It refers to butter that was first commercialized in Hokkaido in 1905, and the packaging is a reproduction/re-design of the label of the original Marusei Butter, with the nickname "Banarita" from the characters "バ成タ". ********************************************************** The last time I ate Ogawa-ken's Raisin Witch was over 20 years ago? Since I eat it far less frequently, my memory of the taste of Raisin Witch has almost merged with that of Butter Sand... maybe. So, Marusei Butter Sand, a derivative of Raisin Witch. Moist biscuit, slightly sweet cream, and raisins. It's already a staple, but it has a stable and delicious taste typical of this type of standard confectionery. 80 points.

I bought a butter cake with walnuts from Rokkatei. Also tried their coffee jelly and custard pudding after a long time. The pudding was not the smooth type, but more firm, but still delicious. Ate with a colleague at the food court.

Rokkaen is a shop that has blended so well into people's lives. They offer not only butter sandwiches and chocolates, but also rice cakes, traditional Japanese sweets, and Western sweets. It doesn't feel special, just like a regular neighborhood sweet shop.

Custard pudding, coffee jelly, and Ohiradai chocolate. There are so many varieties to choose from, it's hard to decide. The Ohiradai chocolate flavor is also delicious. Reliable quality from Rokkatei.

It's so easy to end up buying it, right? (*´∀｀*)

The food is delicious.

I found a photo from a while ago. It was at Chitose Airport, where I bought a souvenir, "Rokkatei Marseille Butter Sand 10 pieces" for 1,300 yen. Well, it's a classic staple of Hokkaido souvenirs. I hadn't eaten it in years, so I remember buying it on impulse. The photo was taken after opening the package, but it seems like I couldn't wait to eat it??? I tore open the bag, opened the biscuit, and the photo was so blurry that you couldn't even see the raisins. Well, as for the taste, it's the classic flavor that everyone knows. I wonder how long it has been around. When was the first time I tried it?

Surprisingly, there is a small, somewhat local shop inside the Aeon, or rather right next to the same building. The shop is located in an open corner space, making it very easy to see and you can really buy things on the go while shopping at the supermarket. As someone from another prefecture, I was a bit impressed by this. There is no need to go out of your way to shop, and you can buy snacks one by one for everyday use. The selection is surprisingly wide. It's the charm of the local area. I felt like a local from Hokkaido and I definitely want to go back again.

On the way back from Lake Shikotsu, I stopped by Chitose. It was my first time at Aeon Chitose store. After walking around, I thought, "Oh, it's just a regular Aeon (like the ones in Muroran, Noboribetsu, Date)." As I was about to leave, I stumbled upon Rokkatei! For people from Ishikari, this is not just a "regular Aeon"! And I also found their summer greeting gifts! I had received one from relatives last year and it was really delicious, so I had thought about ordering some, but it was a seasonal product that was no longer being sold. The one I received last year was in a box with paper inside, so the surface was smooth and very tasty. The one I bought this time was in a plastic wrap, and the surface was sticky and the sugar had melted, so I couldn't taste that deliciousness. I didn't realize the Tokapu Roll I chose wasn't the plain one, but the grapefruit flavor, and it was actually more delicious. But I feel like grapefruit is not the kind of ingredient that "Rokkatei, which is particular about ingredients," would use. Imported grapefruits use preservatives... I looked it up and found that there are domestic grapefruits, but they are quite expensive. If they were using such expensive and precious ingredients, they would probably advertise it prominently on the packaging like "Made with domestic grapefruits!!" and there was nothing mentioned on Rokkatei's website. I had always thought Rokkatei was particular about ingredients... But if you don't think about it too much, the taste is the usual Rokkatei, with rich cream and delicious flavor. The yogurt I chose without thinking turned out to have not just 100% fresh milk but also cream, skim milk powder, and other ingredients. It was slightly sweet with added sugar, but smooth and delicious. It's delicious, but I was a bit surprised because I had assumed it would be "delicious 100% fresh milk from Tokachi because it's Rokkatei." Marusei cake was denser and harder than I expected. I quite like this firmness. It tastes better when chilled. The rating of 3.6 is lower than the ratings of other Rokkatei branches (in my opinion), but that is not a difference in this branch, but rather a difference in the products purchased at that time. The service was still good as always.

I became determined to visit the main store in Obihiro where the popular confectionery store Rokkatei is located. At first, I couldn't find the main store because I mistook another building for it. I had frequented a nearby branch of the store before, enjoying their affordable and delicious snacks. The selection was wide, and I would often go in with some spare change and pick out different treats like butter cookies. However, I felt that I had to visit the main store to truly experience the full range of their offerings. The cream puffs were also affordable at 90 yen each, and the staff were friendly and efficient. The cream puffs were small but had a simple, light sweetness to them. They were a delightful treat.

My junior who was on a business trip to Hokkaido bought me some Marusei Butter Sand from Rokkatei. A couple of months ago, I had purchased the butter sand at a Hokkaido product exhibition, and at that time, I had eaten all the butter sand that was left in the refrigerator while she was away. It was only a few pieces, but she was really angry about it. Food grudges are scary, right? So, I had to deal with it quickly. Luckily, my junior was in Hokkaido, so I was able to buy it at the right time. She was in a super good mood when I gave it to her. We enjoyed the butter sand with tea. The rich butter cream made the tea taste sweet enough without adding sugar. I only had one, and I let her eat the rest to her heart's content.
