My mother called me worried about my father being hospitalized for tests. To comfort her, I'm going to buy the famous Marusei Butter Sand from her hometown of Obihiro. I found a set called "The Marusei" which includes 3 Marusei Butter Sand, 3 Marusei Butter Cakes, 4 Marusei Butter Caramels, and 5 Marusei Biscuits - perfect for tea time! My mother is from Obihiro, so any distraction will be appreciated. Let's pray for my father's hospital tests to go well, just like the Emperor's. When I was a child, I used to enjoy buying the Richland cookies set from Rokkatei in Obihiro, with different poems printed on them. I would read one poem each day on the train ride back home. Oh, the memories! Thank you, Rokkatei.

Despite it being the end of June, Japan is experiencing abnormally high temperatures nationwide. Even Sapporo is just below 30 degrees! When looking for a souvenir to take to Tokyo, I wanted to avoid snacks that might melt in the heat, so I found these butter sandwich cookies at Rokkatei and purchased them. I tried them as a snack in Tokyo and found that while they didn't have the same rich aroma as butter sandwiches, they were still quite delicious cookies. If you're thinking about shelf life, these cookies are a good option for next time.

Strolling around the station, I sometimes get a craving for the Marusei Butter Sandwich. I buy it at Rokkatei in Tokyu Department Store and take it home. I don't actually think it's that delicious, but occasionally I feel like eating it. One sandwich is enough to satisfy me, so I freeze the rest for later. However, I often find that my wife has eaten them all. They also sell Marusei Butter at this store. I will definitely visit one of these places again. Thank you for the meal.

When I go to Rokkatei, I always buy Hyakusai and Ohirahara without fail. I love them. Lately, I've been buying the cute little Ohirahara as well, which is perfect for popping into your mouth. Hyakusai has a harmony of pie crust, almond sponge cake, and the tartness of black currants, which is just the best. It's a sweet I've loved since long ago. Ohirahara is a delicious, delicious sweet that never disappoints.

I often use Rokkatei in the basement of Tokyu Department Store. This is my first review. I purchased the summer limited sweets "Kobore Ume" for visitors, so my review is a bit late. Since the expiration date is long, I always keep it for visitors along with water yokan during the summer. When the season doesn't match or the expiration date is approaching, of course, I use it for my family's tea time. This is a very refreshing plum jelly. It has a taste similar to plum wine because it contains a lot of Western liquor. It's very nice to eat it well chilled with a mild sweetness in the summer. People who don't like alcohol may be concerned about the taste of Western liquor. I ended up eating the leftovers all at once (laughs). Thank you for the meal!

This is the sales floor of a very famous confectionery shop from Obihiro located on the basement floor of Tokyu Department Store in front of Sapporo Station. The confectionery shop called "Yukitsuki" is said to be the model for the morning drama series "Natsuzora". As part of a two-day Hokkaido food sourcing tour, I visited this shop. The shop displays classic sweets like Marseille Butter Sand, but among them, I found something new called "Marseille Butter" written on the box. It is butter itself, packaged in a box that looks just like Marseille Butter Sand, containing 200g for 501 yen. Marseille Butter was first commercialized by the Meiji era pioneer group "Banshosei" in 1905, and this seems to be a reproduction of that. In the drama, the character played by Masao Kusakari, the owner of Shibata Ranch, learned at Banshosei and aspires to make that butter. The butter made by the owner is provided to Yukitsuki, and as a result, the shop owner (played by Akira Yasuda) commercializes it as "Butter Senbei". The shop didn't promote any connection with the drama, but this is quite interesting. I bought one and had it packed with a cold pack to take it back to Tokyo. Looking closely at the package, it is manufactured at Meiji's separate factory in Nemuro. It's a bit disappointing that it's not under the Tokachi General Promotion Bureau but under the Nemuro Promotion Bureau. The first thing I tried at home was "Potato Butter". It's delicious when you put butter on steamed potatoes. Maybe because it's fresh, there is no oxidized fat flavor, and it has a fresh and light taste. It seems to be made from unsalted butter used in Marseille Butter Sand cream and biscuits, but the salt content may be slightly low. Next, I made a salmon butter rice ball using Sato Suisan's salmon flakes. This one brings out the flavor of butter even more. The miso butter corn ramen made with Sapporo Ichiban noodles was also delicious. There may not be a significant difference compared to the "Yotsuba Butter" I usually use, but the butter made only from Tokachi milk was quite tasty. The model for Takeru Shibata, the son-in-law of Shibata Ranch, seems to be the founder of "Yotsuba Dairy", the manufacturer of "Yotsuba Butter". This drama has an original script, but it's quite enjoyable to see many real-life people, shops, and companies that serve as models. Stay tuned for the next review.

This shop is my first time visiting. While Rokkatei is famous for its Marseille Butter Sand, they also have many other delicious sweets. The Tokachi Nisshi, which comes in a beautifully designed box filled with various assortments, is particularly impressive. It would make a great souvenir from Hokkaido. The Marseille Butter Sand is consistently delicious, and their traditional Japanese sweets like Monaka are also very tasty. Thank you for the meal.

Light snack used. Visited with family. Some thoughts: - Located in Sapporo Tokyu underground. - Bought dorayaki and Marusan Kakushikaku. - Dorayaki was filled with red bean paste. - Marusan Kakushikaku had a combination of langue de chat, cookies, and chocolate. - It was delicious.

"Uun-tokosee dokkoi sho" is a mochi-like treat with blueberry filling inside. While some may prefer the traditional red bean filling, this one opts for blueberry to differentiate itself from the usual "ajari mochi." The tangy blueberry filling may not suit everyone's taste, and personally, I didn't find it to my liking. The "Chokoreto Maron" treat, on the other hand, remains a favorite with its chocolate and chestnut combination. Overall, the treats from Rokkatei have their own unique flavors, but some may not appeal to everyone.

I bought a baby chocolate for 359 yen at San Germain and then bought some sweets at Rokkatei while exploring. Instead of eating them at my accommodation as planned, I ended up taking them home. I got an assortment of white chocolate, mocha white chocolate, and milk chocolate from Rokkatei, but unfortunately, they weren't to my liking. I usually like Shiroi Koibito white chocolate, but these chocolates didn't suit my taste. Maybe I should have stuck with the classic butter sandwich. In late May 2017, Snack Visit: Delicious! Butter sandwich is the best after all.

In Hokkaido and even outside Hokkaido, Rokkatei is well-known for its reliable and delicious sweets! Their classic products are tasty, but their seasonal sweets are also very charming. Among them, my favorite is this one: *Potato Pie (160 yen). It's delicious on its own, but when warmed up in a toaster oven, it becomes even more fluffy and tasty. It's not overly sweet like sweet potato treats, but has a subtle sweetness. The simplicity of the sweet potato as the main ingredient, combined with the texture of the pie crust, is really good! It's only available from September 1st to October 15th. It's always very popular every year, so a few years ago, I couldn't even buy it before the sales period started at the nearby store. I need to start stocking up on them soon this year too! (laughs)

Tokyu Department Store's Rokkatei. It's a reasonably spacious and user-friendly store. I usually eat Rokkatei sweets, and this time I tried the "Shimo-datami" - a pie with mocha white chocolate sandwiched in between. It was crispy and delicious! It comes in a pack of 5 for 720 yen. It's a great little gift that will surely be appreciated. Rokkatei offers affordable, relatively large treats made with safe ingredients. The staff's customer service is also excellent.

I received a souvenir from Rokkatei at Sapporo Tokyu. It's their seasonal product for November, a chiffon cake. Rokkatei releases new wagashi and yogashi products every month, and their chiffon cakes seem to be a regular feature. Lately, they have been using nagaimo (Chinese yam) in many of their chiffon cakes. I tried the Tokachi Kawashinagaimo Chiffon (Apple) in a small whole size. As the name suggests, it uses nagaimo in the batter and includes syrup-soaked apples. The nagaimo from Tokachi Kawashi gives it a moist and smooth texture. The slight sweetness from the syrup-soaked apples complements the eggy flavor of the cake. Being a chiffon cake, it has a light texture, making it easy to eat even in whole size. While it could be served with whipped cream or jam, it tasted delicious on its own.

From here, move about 10-20 steps and head to this place, which is also a favorite Hokkaido souvenir! [Inside the store] This is how it looks... more like inside the sales area. [Products] Ta-da! There are delicious looking products lined up... They are sold individually, so it's perfect for enjoying them yourself. [Try a snack] Ta-da! Let's open this one up! It's a manju with red bean paste inside. There's mochi inside the manju, so it's quite filling. [Taihei Plain] Ta-da! A madeleine made with plenty of butter. [Try the Taihei Plain] Let's open this one too! Oh... a delicious madeleine with a refined butter flavor! [Marsei Butter Sand] Ta-da! Lastly, I chose this favorite item! [Try the Butter Sand] I couldn't resist, so I opened it! Undoubtedly delicious~ I thoroughly enjoyed Hokkaido sweets!

Rokkatei was founded in 1933. Originally a branch of Sapporo Chishuuan, it became Obihiro Chishuuan. It is now one of the representative confectionery stores in Hokkaido, with outlets in Sapporo department stores and large supermarkets. The store is located in the JR Sapporo Station area in Sapporo's Chuo Ward, on the basement floor of Tokyu Department Store Sapporo. You can check the exact location on Tabelog. I bought a few items. They were also selling the newly released "Marsei Caramel" individually, which was not the case when I bought it last year. Rokka no Mori is a chocolate named after Rokkatei's garden "Rokka no Mori". It comes in three flavors, each representing a flower from Hokkaido. 1. Hamanasu: Strawberry-flavored chocolate in the shape of the Hokkaido's official flower. 2. Oobananorengeiso: White chocolate with the motif of Hokkaido University's emblem, symbolizing understated beauty. 3. Ezoryukinkari: Passion fruit-flavored chocolate in the shape of a larger yellow flower than the ryukinkari. They are each sold in packs of 4 for 350 yen. Marsei Butter Sand is a representative snack from Rokkatei. The combination of buttercream and raisins is outstanding, priced at 111 yen each. Marsei Caramel has a moderate hardness, with soybeans and Marsei biscuits inside, giving it a buttery flavor. It uses mainly local Tokachi ingredients, allowing you to taste the flavors of Tokachi. The caramel is smooth and comes in packs of 2 or 3, with each piece being the size of a regular caramel. Priced at 71 yen per pack. If you purchase Rokka no Mori, you can enter a limited-time lottery to win a ticket to "Rokka no Mori," a 100,000 square meter site in Obihiro. Fortunately, I won, but unfortunately, Obihiro is far away. Marsei Caramel may be one of Rokkatei's next-generation products. Rokkatei offers many popular items, making it hard to decide what to buy. It was delicious, thank you.

When it comes to Hokkaido, it's all about Rokkatei!!! When looking for souvenirs from Hokkaido, Rokkatei is a must. For baked goods, I recommend the Marseille Butter Sand, the crispy Cappuccino Frost, and the Yukiya Konkon. As for chocolate treats, the Strawberry Chocolate is my favorite. It's dried strawberries coated in white chocolate. You can easily purchase them online or through flyers. The packaging with the cute floral design has remained unchanged for years, which is nice, right? ((((･´ω`･))))

I visited the Hokkaido Fair at Meitetsu Department Store to buy Shirodatami from Rokkatei. Unfortunately, they were sold out for the day on Sunday, but they will have 36 available in the final shipment on Monday. I went on Monday afternoon and was able to purchase them. The pie had a crispy texture, and the Mocha White Chocolate filling gave it a cappuccino-like flavor, which was delicious.

I said I wouldn't write reviews for big pastry shops anymore, but when my mouth was watering, I decided to write about "Rokkatei." I received it as a gift from a visitor from Sapporo who bought it at the station. Are you feeling a bit uninspired? What are you eating? Of course, it's the "Marusei Butter Sand." Among these, this is the only one that I feel like eating. It has a rich flavor with raisins. It has a substantial richness and a guilty high-calorie feeling. The expiration date is surprisingly short. It has a rawness mixed with butter, and it's delicious. It was Rokkatei after all. I won't write reviews for big pastry shops anymore until my mouth waters again.

Mrs. Kami said, "I bought a rare ohagi from Tokyu's Rokkatei~ (*ﾟ∀ﾟ*)" When I saw it, it was green! Wow! So there's also zunda ohagi at Rokkatei, huh? It's not listed on their website, so is it a limited time offer for this season only? "It said it's made with green peas!" The price is 155 yen! It's quite big. I forcefully opened it with chopsticks and took a picture. Well then, let's dig in! The sweetness is mild, and you can taste a hint of salt. The green pea flavor is not too strong, making it easy to eat. It's nice to have these rare ohagi once in a while. It was delicious!
