I finished my lunch feeling a bit unsatisfied, so I decided to stop by this shop to fill the void with some sweets. I haven't had Tokachi Daimyo oyaki in a while. Of course, with chunky red bean paste. I bought two with chunky red bean paste and one with white bean paste, each for 115 yen including tax. I took them home, made some coffee, and tried them. First, I cut one in half. Just as I expected, the amount of red bean paste was perfect. It tasted like sazae's red bean paste, delicious as always. The one with white bean paste had a stretchier dough that didn't break easily when cut in half. The texture was quite different. I can't say which one is better, but personally, I prefer the one without white bean paste.

[Takeout] Sazae Food, famous for "Tokachi Ohagi," is a shop with over 50 years of history that was founded in Hokkaido and is now expanding to Tohoku and Kanto regions, including department stores and supermarkets. Originally started by the founder, Tomi Nomura, at the Hakodate morning market! Although their expansion to the Tokyo area did not go well, they seem to have had some difficulties, so I hope they continue to thrive in Hokkaido. This shop is located on the first floor of the Sazae supermarket at the Nisshimachi store along the old Route 5 in Nishi Ward, Sapporo. The location of the Nisshimachi store is about 100 meters west of the intersection of Teine-Samata-dori and Sapporo Chushin direction, along Prefectural Route 124 (Miyanosawa Kita 1-jo Line (old Route 5)) from the Kotoni Hassamu River. Visited for the first time at 2 pm on March 5, 2022, after having soup curry at Mohan Dish. After shopping at the 100-yen store and drinking coffee, I headed to the Sazae store. While browsing the items in front of the store, the staff didn't come out from the back. Even when I lightly called out, they didn't come out from the back. Finally, they came out after other customers started browsing (laughs). I felt a bit uneasy, so I didn't buy too much. I bought something like 4 pieces of flavored dumplings for 86 yen. It took quite some time from buying to eating at home, so they were a bit cold, but that's understandable. Recommended points: Enjoy four flavors in one stick - red bean paste, black sesame, whole bean paste, and soy sauce. I find the sweetness to be slightly strong, so one stick is satisfying enough for me. Sazae is often found as a tenant in supermarkets, and I use it frequently. Although I haven't posted any reviews before, I like their ohagi, bekomochi, and dumplings, so I'll try to post more reviews in the future.

I visited Sazae-san for the first time with the purpose of having dessert after a meal, and I bought some dango. Although I was also tempted by ohagi, I felt too full, so I chose dango today. As expected, the sesame sauce was a taste that I really like. The dango was a bit firm, but it was a perfect finish.

When it comes to "Sazae," I have always been familiar with their "Tokachi Ohagi." I didn't know that the local business of Sazae food was taken over by Shiroi Koibito's Ishiya Seika. Sazae has always been the place to go when something is missing or when in trouble. While Sazae is known for Ohagi, Inarizushi and Futomaki are also popular. Today, I tried the Juroku Sushi (medium) set. It includes three pieces of Inarizushi and three pieces of cut Futomaki. The Futomaki is standard and easy to eat. The Inarizushi has a rich flavor soaked into the fried tofu skin.

I visited Sazae inside Seiyu Nishimachi store on my way back from Hatsumode. My mother, who prefers to relax at home during the first three days of the New Year, asked me to buy dorayaki. Seiyu is open even on New Year's Day, which was very convenient as many other stores were closed. I bought two dorayaki, one with red bean paste and one with white bean paste (with chestnut) at Sazae. It was my first time trying their dorayaki. When I got home, I handed them to my mother. She split the red bean paste dorayaki in half and said it was a bit too much after eating mochi. She enjoyed it while watching TV. The texture was moist and the sweetness of the bean paste was just right. It was delicious. Unfortunately, I didn't try the white bean paste one, but my mother said it was also tasty.

I arrived at Seiyu in Nishi-machi, Nishi Ward. It was a walk back after a drinking party. We finished the drinking party at Enzan for the first time, and walked back. It was a sushi dinner, but my companion seemed to have eaten enough with sashimi and other dishes, so we couldn't really eat much sushi. I want to eat rice! I thought as I walked, and then I saw Seiyu! Most specialty stores are closed by now. I hurriedly looked around, and there was still stock of sazae! It was on sale for half price. There was a mysterious plum, shiso, and chicken tempura roll for 210 yen, half price. The eat-in space in front of the food court is closed because it's late. There was a chair in front of the restroom. I went there and saw a poster with a face that said "I've been working and I'm hungry." I let them eat a bit before I did. The plum flavor was delicious! It's not sushi, but it's sushi-like. Ah, I feel relieved. I am satisfied for now! It's good to have a store that is open 24 hours. Thank you for the meal!

In October 2017, I visited the Sazae restaurant located inside the Seiyu Nishimachi store. They offer a variety of onigiri, such as nori-wrapped, inari, ohagi, and oyaki. I purchased the most popular ones, the shrimp tempura and cheese-filled onigiri. The small-sized onigiri was easy to hold and the rice was cooked just right, with delicious nori. The shrimp tempura had a thick coating and small shrimp, but the sauce was flavorful. The cheese-filled onigiri was a bit bland with not much cheese flavor. Overall, it was a satisfying meal. Thank you.

I have been unwell for a long time and it was decided during my recent check-up that I will be hospitalized. The admission date is still undecided, but I will be admitted soon. Unfortunately, I will be taking a break from posting on Tabelog for a while. I plan to return as a reviewer after I am discharged. Thank you in advance for your understanding. [Second Post] This is my second post, so I decided to talk about "Jodaimaki", which my usual companion loves. - Jodaimaki Details can be found in the previous review Weight: 402g Price: 561 yen (including 8% consumption tax) Sazae, which was selling in Eastern Japan, faced financial difficulties. The company voluntarily liquidated at the end of May. From June onwards, a subsidiary of Ishiya Seika called "New Sazae Food" took over the business in Hokkaido. The former executive of Hokuyo Bank and the president who revived Ishiya Seika, Mr. Shimada, took over as the president. The stores in the Kanto region were taken over by the sister company in the Kansai area. Sazae has a solid foundation in Hokkaido. I hope they will do their best. [First Post] I had "Jodaimaki" and "Shiroi Taiyaki" at Sazae. Sazae is a popular shop that offers bento boxes, sushi rolls, onigiri, and more. - Jodaimaki Weight: 430g Price: 561 yen (including 8% consumption tax) - Shiroi Taiyaki Price: 108 yen (including 8% consumption tax) The Jodaimaki is always delicious and never gets boring. It is a classic favorite. The Shiroi Taiyaki is slightly smaller in size but still tasty. Sazae has over 40 stores in Sapporo alone. They offer a variety of products in department stores and large supermarkets. My usual companion loves the Jodaimaki, and I'm sure they will buy it again next time. Delicious, thank you.

Welcome! I visited the Seiyu Nishimachi store in Nishi-ku, Nishimachi district in January 2014. Tom, who is always excited like a child, has arrived at this place in front of the grocery section. Hello! I found some limited edition oyaki at the store. They have a good stock of onigiri, dango, and other snacks. I will choose some while the hardworking obaachan is busy in the afternoon. After shopping, let's have a meal at the food court and then head home. I bought some snacks and onigiri. The mountain vegetable inari-age is juicy and sweet! The texture of the mountain vegetables adds a nice crunch, so let's enjoy it. The chikuwa roll onigiri is like a chikuwa bread version of sazae, with tuna mayo inside the chikuwa. It's fried, so the chewiness of the chikuwa, the sweetness of the tuna mayo, and the sazae rice come together perfectly. I thought it was a set of two, but it turns out they all have the same stamp on them. Despite having the same white dough as the regular oyaki, it was soft and creamy with a rich milk flavor and just the right amount of sweetness. There was a Mont Blanc behind the sazae, but when eating, I still think that Japanese people prefer rice! That's what I've been thinking lately. Thank you for the meal.

Some of the souvenirs I received were delicious. I lightly toasted the walnut and caramel in a toaster before eating, and it was not too heavy. Inside the caramel cream, there were chunks of walnuts that paired well with coffee. The cinnamon apple was also delicious. Overall, it is best to toast them just before eating.
