I love the classic Gateau Russe Goutte de Roi at 691 yen, my favorite Digle (chocolate cake) with 3 pieces for 648 yen, and the Halloween edition Digle with 3 pieces for 756 yen. I also bought the Hokkaido exclusive Digle North White for 270 yen. I tend to buy too much when I come here!

Gâteau Festa Harada is not a product from Hokkaido, but it is easily available at Sapporo Daimaru, so my daughter often asks my son to buy it for her. My daughter loves Gout de Roy♡ The only option for the requested product is a simple large bag, but when I asked for a photo of the display, I saw a yellow package that I didn't recognize. I asked what it was, and it turns out to be a version with reduced oil. Gout de Roy Légé - Butter is reduced to the extreme to pursue lightness. Compared to the regular type of rusk, the use of butter is reduced by about 98% and the fat is cut by about 95% in this healthy oil-cut rusk. This is perfect for me, a perennial dieter, I thought. So I also requested to buy that. Gout de Roy 13 bags for 1080 yen, Gout de Roy Légé 13 bags for 518 yen. The price is less than half of the conventional one, so it's a good deal. When I tried it... Honestly, it was not that great. It lacked sweetness and tasted kind of flat. It's like a deflated cola! When I told my son, he said it's because it's a butter-cut version, so that's how it would taste. Basically, he figured out that I don't like low-fat or calorie-cut foods. (This was a fail.) From now on, I won't cheat on the traditional Gout de Roy♡

I often visit various collaboration projects, and this time it was Pom Pom Purin! The can was very cute and soothing. The flavor was normal type, but the individual packaging inside was also cute. Of course, the wrapping paper had Pom Pom Purin on it. It would definitely be a well-received gift! The taste is unquestionably my favorite rusk. That hard texture is addictive.

It's been a while since GATEAU FESTA HARADA's limited-time offer, Gute de Roi Fromage 8 bags (2 pieces) @864. This sweet rusk incorporates three types of cheese, and there's also Tigres North White, a Hokkaido-exclusive treat, @270. It features macadamia nuts in the dough and white chocolate sauce in the center.

In October 2022, I often receive souvenirs from Tokyo from "Gâteau Festa Harada," a popular pastry shop. My impression is that I have received quite a few "rusk" type snacks from them. While they have a stylish glass-fronted store near Daimaru Sapporo and the Sapporo subway station, I wonder if it is more of a shop for Sapporo residents to buy gifts rather than souvenirs from Tokyo. However, this assortment is labeled as "Hokkaido limited edition," so it should be suitable for tourists looking for souvenirs in Sapporo. I haven't tried "Tigres North White," but it seems to be a white chocolate twist on Gâteau Festa Harada's "Tigres" chocolate cake. It is a snack with a crispy texture and white chocolate sauce, with a mild sweetness that even I found delicious. It would be a good choice not only for Sapporo residents but also as a souvenir from Sapporo.

I entered Gâteau Festa Harada DAIMARU Sapporo store to purchase a can of rusk that collaborated with One Piece, and found a limited edition "Tigres North White" which is only sold here. I couldn't resist and bought it immediately! My daughter loves rusk, so I also bought a small bag for her to eat in Sapporo, and a can each of Luffy and Zoro rusk. The rusk has a high recognition, so I will skip the details! The Hokkaido limited edition Tigres North White is a white chocolate version of Gâteau Festa Harada's famous chocolate cake "Tigres". It is made with Hokkaido cream blended into white chocolate dough, with macadamia nuts added for a crunchy texture, and topped with a white chocolate sauce made from Hokkaido cream powder. It has a creamy and gentle flavor. It was delicious with plenty of macadamia nuts for an interesting texture. Highly recommended for white chocolate lovers. The surrounding dough is moist and dense, making it even more delicious with the added value of being only available here. Thank you for the meal.

Surprisingly, this traditional Japanese confectionery shop has a history of over 100 years. Their signature product, the Gâteau Russe "Goutte de Roi", is a crispy rusk with a rich wheat flavor, subtly sweetened with granulated sugar that is not too overpowering. It is light and crunchy, making it easy to enjoy. Gâteau Festa Harada has been in business since 1901, and has been cherished by customers for 120 years. Originally a confectionery manufacturer, they started making bread during the rationing period in 1946. Over the years, they have gained a reputation for high-quality bread, as well as their sister products of Western and Japanese sweets. With over 60 years of bread-making research and experience, they have perfected their French bread and created the popular Gâteau Russe "Goutte de Roi" along with various other Western sweets.

Gâteau Festa Harada's shop is located at B1F of Daimaru Sapporo Store, at 4-7 Kita 5 Jonishi, Chuo-ku, Sapporo City, Hokkaido. It is a confectionery store known for its rusk, originating from Takasaki City, Gunma Prefecture. When the shop first opened, there was a huge line of customers. The entrance had a POP display for the spring limited edition Triple Berry rusk, which I really like. The shop has an elegant atmosphere, resembling a jewelry store rather than a confectionery shop. I purchased a box of Gâteau Rusk Gout de Roy Triple Berry (5 pieces) in a light purple box. Inside, the rusk pieces are coated with chocolate containing strawberry, raspberry, and blueberry. The colors are vibrant, with silver glitter in the center. The rusk itself has a deep brown or black color, made with blueberry puree. The product has a refreshing berry acidity, beautiful colors, and is perfect for spring. The berry chocolate is rich and aromatic. The box design is stylish with illustrations of the three berries. The company has grown significantly, also offering a chocolate cake called "Tigres" and region-specific flavors like Red Velvet in Tokyo, Matcha in Kyoto, Lemon in Hiroshima, and North White in Hokkaido. I would love to try all the flavors, either by visiting the locations or ordering them. It would be great if they had an event where you could collect all the flavors.

I received some delicious rusk from a friend, so when I visited Satsueki, I decided to buy some. I found some adorable sablé cookies, so I bought those instead. They are called "Gute de Princess" (6 pieces for 604 yen). The unassuming bird wearing a crown on the packaging is so cute! I imagined they would taste like pigeon sablé cookies, but these are way better! They are so crispy and the buttery flavor is amazing. They must be using high-quality butter. They are definitely worth the price at 100 yen per piece. I will definitely buy these more often in the future. Thank you, Harada!

It's been a while since I received a snack supply. I've received it many times before, but it has been a while. I didn't even know what rusk was until I started my food log. I really didn't eat snacks back then. Since starting my food log, I have started eating a variety of things, but I am conscious of gaining weight, so there has been no change in my weight. However, I have started eating snacks. I have to eat them to write about them. They are crunchy, of course, but if you're not careful, your mouth can end up all bloody. But I don't make such mistakes. They are sweet, just right, and delicious. I always think I'll stop at one piece, but end up eating more. It's a troublesome snack.

This is a souvenir from my family. I received two items, "Gateau Rusk Gouté de Roya" and "Gateau Rusk Gouté de Roya Cacao". I don't know the prices, so I'll skip that. The former has a mild sweetness with sugar sprinkled on top, and the salty rusk dough has a hint of salt, creating a perfect combination! The crispy texture unique to rusk is still present. The latter, although I ate it as a substitute for dinner, is completely unrelated to the mini castella on the same plate, so please ignore that haha. The mild bitterness of cacao and the sweetness of sugar complement each other well, making it delicious too! With such delicious options, it makes me want to try other flavors as well. There are also limited-time products available, so it's hard to choose and decide! Thank you for the meal.

- 2021 Otaru/Sapporo Trip Part 21 - On July XX, I purchased Gâteau Festa Harada's Hokkaido limited edition product "Tigres North White" for gifts and personal use. - Tigres North White (3 pieces) @ 810 yen (tax included) A popular item for personal use, Tigres North White is the white chocolate version of Tigres, with a high-quality white chocolate sauce in the center and the added flavor of macadamia nuts, all baked together. The dough also contains white chocolate, making it a must-have item for white chocolate lovers. Additionally, a 6-piece gift box is available for 1,782 yen (tax included), and there is also a 10-piece option.

- Tigres North White Makeup Large Box, 2,916 yen This is a chocolate cake "Tigres" that has been arranged with a white chocolate taste, limited to Hokkaido. The rich sweetness of white chocolate combines with the texture and aroma of macadamia nuts, making it delicious! The dough also contains whipped cream and white chocolate, so it is sweet but not too heavy. Thank you for the meal!

Under the entrance of Daimaru Sapporo store, there is an independent shop. The atmosphere is a bit different from the department store basement floor. The interior is glamorous and clean. The staff also have a sophisticated feel. I visited after a long time. I looked around the store to see if there was any unusual rusk. In one corner where pink boxes are lined up, there is a sign saying "Limited time offer" "Pinkie Sweets". When I asked the staff, they said, "This product is a limited edition item until the end of May, it's a rusk made with berries." It feels like spring, and I have a weakness for "limited edition" items, so I decided to buy that. I purchased a 5-piece pack of "Gute de Loa Triple Berry" (864 yen including tax). When I opened it at home, there was a nice scent coming from the pink box. When I broke it, I could see that the rusk had berries kneaded into it. The rusk has blueberry puree in it, and on top, there is chocolate coated with three kinds of berries - strawberry, raspberry, and blueberry. It has a sweet and sour, refreshing flavor, and the rusk has a crispy texture. It's a very elegant taste. Although Gâteau Festa Harada has nationwide store expansion, they also have "local limited edition items" in each region, and in the Hokkaido area (even though it's just one store here in Hokkaido), there is a rusk called "Degrees North White" made with white chocolate, which seems to be popular as well!

This is a limited edition product only available in Hokkaido called Tigre's North White. The dough is made with white chocolate and also includes macadamia nuts for a nice crunchy texture. Another limited edition product available from November to late April is Goethe de la Soleil, which has a smooth chocolatey taste. Tigre's North White is a white chocolate cake topped with white chocolate. It's quite sweet, so it might go well with coffee. However, my favorite is still the classic white chocolate rusk.

I received Gateau Festa's rusk as a souvenir from a friend. The rusk is crispy, coated with white chocolate on the outside, and has a rich sweetness. It was so delicious. I enjoyed it with black tea.

After my check-up, I bought some rusk at "Gâteau Festa Harada." I tried the "Goutte de la Reine" for the first time, which is a bit pricey, so I got the 3-piece pack. It's like a thin rusk sandwich with creamy raisin filling. The light rusk texture with rich cream and raisins is delicious. It had been a while since I last visited, and I noticed they have added more varieties. It seems challenging to try all of them, especially with limited edition items.

"Located outside of Daimaru department store, Gâteau Festa Harada is a standalone shop known for their 'Gâteau Rusk.' I visited during the New Year period and found the shop to be clean with polite staff. The customers also seemed sophisticated, which made me feel a bit intimidated. I purchased the special New Year assortment set for 1,000 yen plus tax, which was a good deal compared to buying individual items. The set included items like 'Goutte de Roi,' 'Goutte de Roi White Chocolate,' 'Tigres,' and 'Love Sleeves.' I only tried a few, but my favorite was the 'Goutte de Roi White Chocolate,' which had a nice balance of sweetness with white chocolate on rusk. The 'Love Sleeves' were also delicious, with crunchy sablé, macadamia nuts, and a subtle sweetness. The shop's convenient location makes it a place I would like to visit occasionally. Thank you for the meal!"

I bought some white chocolate snacks for my friend who is in the hospital. I also bought some for myself. They are delicious, especially the white chocolate ones. There is a nice shop in the basement of Daimaru where I found them. The staff there provide excellent customer service and they watched over me with a smile while I was choosing the snacks.

I usually buy rusks, but this time I decided to try the coffee jelly that I had been interested in from the catalog! It was a soft and delicious jelly! Of course, it's more stylish to put it in a dish, but you can also eat it straight from the bag (it said so on the package). The bag stands up, so I was able to pour milk into it and eat it like that. As the weather gets hotter, this would be a great gift idea! I definitely want to buy this coffee jelly again in the future.
