I want to eat delicious ramen~ We went shopping at a vegetable market and then at AEON Mall Ebetsu~ It's been a while since my wife and I visited this AEON store! The shoe section here is spacious, so we strolled around and ended up buying shoes for people with back pain. The insoles are said to be gentle on the back, and they felt good when we tried them on. My wife also bought shoes that are good for the back! For older people, comfort is more important than appearance (laughs) Sorry for the big digression! Oh, we passed by Rokkatei and found a new product to try - "Marusei Butter Cake with Walnuts" for 140 yen each including tax. We bought 2 for a trial! They also sell paper helmets for Children's Day, so I got one for myself for 380 yen including tax. The visual of Marusei Butter Cake with Walnuts is a sponge cake with plenty of caramel-like walnuts sandwiched in between. The paper helmets contain 4 pieces each of 3 types of chocolates - pink and yellow. The Marusei Butter Cake with Walnuts is delicious with lots of butter and roasted walnuts, giving it a deep flavor. It tastes like a cake, even though it's called a cake (laughs). It's only 140 yen including tax, so I should have bought a box. The paper helmet chocolates are delicious too, with flower patterns on them. They excel in making chocolates with white chocolate, strawberry chocolate, and passion fruit chocolate. Highly recommended to everyone!

I stopped by the Aeon in Ebetsu on my way back after finishing my errands. I found my favorite confectionery shop, Rokkatei, so I decided to buy something. I purchased two seasonal limited sweets: "Shuka," a moist pie with sweet and sour blueberry jam filled with blueberry chunks, giving a refreshing acidity perfect for summer, and "Aoen Daifuku," which I absolutely love because I adore green peas. It's a shame that it's only available seasonally! Rokkatei's seasonal limited daifuku never disappoints and is always delicious. I will definitely visit another branch in the future. Thank you, Ebetsu store!

While strolling through Aeon in Ebetsu, I spotted some sakuramochi and decided to buy it. It was priced at 120 yen. I find that if I don't buy sakuramochi when I see it, I end up missing out and have to wait until next year. The sakuramochi from Rokkatei had a light color and a subtle sweetness.

Light snack used. Visited with family. Some thoughts: - Located inside AEON Ebetsu store. - Bought small and white chocolate from Ohiradaira. - Ohiradaira is good in both big and small sizes. - Can share with children. - It was delicious.

▼Location▼ Located on the 1st floor of AEON Ebetsu store along National Route 12. ▼About the Shop▼ Founded in 1933, Rokkatei originated from Obihiro Chishuan and later changed its name to Rokkatei in 1977. The Marusei Butter Sand, created to commemorate the name change, became a hit product and expanded to Chitose Airport and department stores throughout Hokkaido, gaining nationwide popularity as a leading confectionery maker in Hokkaido. ▼Menu▼ Offers signature items like Marusei Butter Sand, as well as various single confectionery items such as chocolates, traditional Japanese sweets, and Western-style pastries. ▼Items Tried▼ ▽Goyosha Dorayaki 140 yen▽ (Nov 2017) A limited quantity dorayaki with a same-day expiration date. The size is the same as regular dorayaki, but the texture is moist and fluffy, with just the right amount of sweetness. The red bean paste inside is soft and delicately sweet, making it a high-quality and delicious dorayaki. ▽Choux Cream Custard 90 yen▽ (Nov 2017) A small and cute choux cream pastry with a soft and moist pastry shell. The custard inside is rich and flavorful, with a hint of vanilla beans. ▼Impressions▼ (Nov 2017) Rokkatei is a well-known confectionery chain originating from Obihiro and boasting nationwide recognition. They are popular for their Marusei Butter Sand and other signature products like Ohirahara and Strawberry Chocolate. This branch at AEON Ebetsu offers a variety of confectionery items. I purchased the Goyosha Dorayaki and Choux Cream Custard, both of which were delicious. The dorayaki had a fresh and flavorful red bean paste, while the choux cream was rich and tasty. Although Rokkatei is famous for its Marusei series and chocolates, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of these confectionery items. I look forward to trying more of their offerings in the future.

For Tokyo residents, Rokkatei might be synonymous with raisin sandwich and souvenirs. However, it is a reputable confectionery shop with minimal additives, providing a sense of security. Each store offers different items. This time, I enjoyed cakes and soft serve at the Makomanai location, and tried the limited edition Marseille ice sandwich at the main store. I have visited the store in Ebetsu's Aeon mall several times and purchased a few items. - Marseille butter sandwich (4 pieces for 500 yen): A well-known classic, although the taste no longer amazes me as it used to. - Seafoam cakes in caramel and custard flavors (120 yen each): These were the highlights of this visit. The fluffy texture combined with rich cream was delicious. - Tamagashi (125 yen), Marseille caramel (75 yen), Marseille butter cake (125 yen), and chocolate chestnut (130 yen) were all tasty and made with safe ingredients. These items are satisfying on their own.

I went to Rokkatei at AEON Ebetsu store. Besides Rokkatei, there are also Toteya Sohonten and Morimoto at this AEON. This time, with Christmas approaching, there were more fancy and festive sweets. Items purchased: Bread - I was surprised to find that Rokkatei sells bread. I bought a soft bread that resembles a muffin, with raisins, lemon, and orange peel giving it a citrusy aroma. It was sweet, with the raisins adding to the sweetness, making it more like a sweet bread than traditional bread. It gave me a different impression from a regular bakery, probably because the bread dough seemed to have a recipe similar to Western confectionery, with a focus on the fillings. Advent Calendar - Advent calendars are not very common in Japan. It's a calendar with a different sweet treat for each day leading up to Christmas, creating a fun surprise each day. I bought a different type of sweet treat this time, looking forward to what Rokkatei has to offer. Rokkatei really has a variety of items to choose from.

Rokkatei "Snack Shop" Series Vol.5 July 7, 2013 I revisited the Ion Ebetsu store, which is a convenient shop that I always use. Last month, I was not feeling well and couldn't write a review, so I will include last month's review with this one. The "Snack Shop" series is a limited edition product released on the 7th of every month. You can reserve it at any store and specify where you want to pick it up. The snack for July was the "80th Anniversary Pudding Cake." The packaging with "Thank you for 80 years" was very tasteful, and I think the number of reservations was particularly high this time. Today's purchase: Snack Shop July 2013 - Pudding Cake A 12cm sponge cake soaked in caramel sauce and baked until moist. The texture is quite moist, resembling a bread pudding. The caramel part has a slight bitterness. There is no alcohol in it, just a simple cake to enjoy the flavor of eggs. Personally, I prefer it with alcohol, but this was a big hit with my family! It has a smooth texture and goes down quickly, disappearing in no time. I would definitely want to repeat this deliciousness when it appears in the Snack Shop series again. Thank you for the meal! Rokkatei Snack Shop Series Vol.4 June 7, 2013 I revisited. The snack for June was a cold dessert. Even though I was feeling unwell that day, the refreshing cold sweets with a smooth texture were easy to eat even without an appetite and helped soothe my feverish body. Today's purchase: Snack Shop June 2013 - 500 yen A set of three cup desserts: - Black Sugar Bean Kan: A syrup with a black honey flavor containing black sugar agar and red beans. It was quite sweet, but the flavor of black sugar was strong and very much to my liking. The beans were cooked slightly firm, providing a nice texture. - Mango Coconut: Mango puree syrup with coconut-flavored agar and mango jelly. The sweet and sour taste of mango was refreshing, and the combination with coconut flavor was excellent. - Mizuyokan in Cold Shiruko: My daughter's favorite, so I only had a taste. The mizuyokan had a smooth and soft texture. Each of the three cold desserts had various flavors and textures, and they were all very delicious. Thank you for the meal! January 25, 2012 - First visit. Due to snow, I couldn't go far and ended up visiting a nearby store. This store opened in the fall of 2011 and is the only Rokkatei store in Ebetsu City. The store is new and has a bright atmosphere. Today's purchase: Sakura Mochi - 380 yen: A sakura mochi with red bean paste and white and red colors. I tried both, and I think the red bean paste one was better. It was small, with a nice balance of saltiness from the sakura leaf and a soft texture, making it easy to eat. Toyoshiro - 130 yen: A January snack. It was my first time trying it, and I really liked it. It is made with steamed potatoes, bacon, and onions wrapped in pie crust. Not too sweet, with a taste that makes you want wine. It's even more delicious when slightly warmed in a toaster oven. Although it's not a directly operated store, the selection is somewhat limited. However, the fact that they are open until 9 pm, unlike the directly operated stores that close at 7 pm, is appreciated. The service felt similar to that of directly operated stores. It had been a while since I last visited Rokkatei, but coming back and seeing the beautiful seasonal Japanese sweets, I was once again drawn to them. The cost performance is still good with reasonable prices. Since it's nearby, I will continue to visit this store. Thank you for the meal!

In August, I received some snacks from a dessert shop. They were cup desserts with vegetables and fruits, capturing the flavors of summer. The soybean pudding had a gentle sweetness and a smooth texture, with milk as the main ingredient. The blueberry pudding had a blueberry sauce and a light yogurt sauce, giving it a slightly sour taste. The passion fruit pudding had a yogurt cream and a tangy passion fruit sauce. Lastly, the tomato jelly, despite my dislike for tomato juice, was enjoyable as a jelly. All four desserts were rich and flavorful. Thank you for the delicious meal.
