1. Kakkō-no-Sato
Cookie sandwiches with an excellent caramel cream finish.
"Kakkō-no-Sato" is a cookie with a caramel cream sandwich that has been sold by Rokkatei since 1954. "Kakkō" refers to that bird, the cuckoo. The thinly baked cookies are designed in the shape of an oak leaf. Even when the two pieces are stacked on top of each other, they are about 5 mm to 6 mm thick, and the caramel cream is stretched thin and sandwiched between them. The crispy, crunchy...

2. Okagesama
Monaka dough with nuts and couverture chocolate
Rokkatei's "Okage-sama" is a confection made with "gianduja" sandwiched between two pieces of monaka dough. The "gianduja" is a paste of roasted hazelnuts and almonds combined with sugar and couverture chocolate. Monaka with couverture chocolate is a bold concept that blends the Japanese and Western worlds, but the package design is a delicate Rokkatei-like design. It is firmly made of monaka dough. The monaca is board-like and thick like a cookie. The...

3. Marusei Biscuit
Flavorful cookies rich in Marsei butter
Rokkatei's "Marusei Biscuit" is a biscuit from the "Marusei series" that boasts overwhelming popularity, led by "Marusei Butter Sand". The pink package has an impressive design of a band of Marsei butter. It is a retro design but has a luxurious feel. On the surface of the cookie is written Banseisha's mark. The "Banseisha" was a group of people who had a desire to pioneer Hokkaido, led by Benzo Yoda, known as...

4. Rokkatei’s Potato Pie
Unique sweet potato pie with flat oval shape
Rokkatei's "Potato Pie" is a slightly unusual shaped pie made by stretching sweet potato paste flat. A long, thin pie crust is baked around it. It seems to be thinly finished so that the baked surface is larger. The thickness is 6~7 mm, and the cross section shows golden sweet potatoes laid out. Moist sweet potato baked to a golden brown and flavorful deliciousness. I was convinced that the design allows you...

5. Rokkatei’s Castella
Castella made by a famous confectionery maker in Hokkaido
I bought Rokkatei's Castella. Although the image of Castella is Nagasaki Prefecture, we have high expectations for Castella made by Rokkatei, one of the leading confectionery makers in Hokkaido. First of all, the package is full of Rokkatei flavor. The "Castella" in a retro font on a plant illustration is adorable. The package design is very Rokkatei. It is a standard looking sponge cake, but it is nice that each slice is...

6. Meigetsu
Beautiful appearance like a full moon
Rokkatei's seasonal product "Meigetsu" is a sponge cake confection that looks like a beautiful full moon. The dark blue package with the full moon-like sponge cake stands out in the store. The picture of a Japanese pampas grass gives the cake the atmosphere of a Japanese autumn night. Sponge cake with a very soft and fluffy texture. Inside is a greenish brown bean paste. It seems to be made from green peas,...

No images
The most bitter chocolate in the Rokkatei's chocolate series
"Rokkatei’s Bitter Sweet Chocolate" is the most bitter tasting of Rokkatei's five chocolate series. The "Kitakobushi" depicted on the package is a tree that grows wild in Hokkaido and blooms earliest in early spring. Although it is less conspicuous than White chocolate and Milk chocolate in the same Rokkatei's chocolate series, there are many fans of its authentic cacao flavor. Generally speaking, "bitter chocolate" has a cacao content of 60% or more,...

8. Shirakaba Yokan
I have always liked to eat it thinly sliced with string.
Rokkatei's "Shirakaba-yokan" in Hokkaido is a yokan that I personally have had since I was a child, and it is a confection that holds fond memories for me. ”Gokatteya Yokan" is also famous for its cylindrical yokan that is cut with a string, but it was Rokkatei's Shirakaba Yokan that I became familiar with as a child. I remember that I loved it anyway because it had a refreshing sweetness like a...
more
9. Green Tea White Chocolate
The deepest taste of matcha green tea and white chocolate
This is a matcha version of Rokkatei White Chocolate. It is not simply a product with matcha mixed in, but a matcha chocolate that boasts an incredible degree of perfection, and is definitely a standard and very popular product. Perhaps it is because there is a lot of matcha powder mixed in, but I think it accentuates the slightly "crunchy" texture that is characteristic of Rokkatei's chocolates. This texture and feel on...

10. Strawberry Chocolate White
I will never forget the shock I felt when I first tasted it, a true masterpiece.
"Rokkatei Strawberry Choco White" made by Rokkatei. I remember being surprised at the shockingly delicious taste when I first tasted it. This time I bought the white chocolate version in a 60g package. There is also a hard packaged version in paper tube form (130 g), and a 60 g packet in a soft package. Even though it is a 60g package, there are quite a few. There is some variation depending...

11. Mizu-Goyomi
Rokkatei's refreshing mizu-yokan made with high-quality azuki beans
Rokkatei's mizu-yokan "Mizu-Goyomi" is a product sold only during the summer season. The package lid has a flower on it, just like Rokkatei. We do not know how much demand there is for this product in Hokkaido, where summers are also cool, but the mizu-yokan is a great sweets on a hot day. Rokkatei is known for the quality of its azuki sweets, so there is no doubt about the taste. The...

12. Rokkatei’s White Chocolate
Synonymous with Rokkatei's chocolate
Here it is! "Rokkatei's White Chocolate", a synonym for Rokkatei Chocolate. The illustration of a butterbur sprout is a classic. When I see this illustration of a butterbur sprout, I reflexively think, "Oh, it's Rokkatei's white chocolate. This white chocolate was first sold in Japan in 1968, but there is a very interesting story behind its birth. The beautiful milky-white chocolate was renewed in June 2012 to a "sleeper tree" motif, and...

13. Kobu-kura
The amount of kelp is amazing! Luxurious Okaki
Many people may not have an image of Rokkatei making okaki(Rice cracker). However, once you try this "Kobu-Kura" I think that image will be blown away. Rokkatei's beautiful packaging is stylish even when viewed from the side. When removed from the bag, they look like "fried cartilage" served at an izakaya (Japanese-style bar). The black bumps on the surface of the okaki look like black pepper, but they are small pieces of...

14. Richland
Package of poems published in the children's poetry magazine "Silo"
Rokkatei's "Richland" is a sublet with a rich cheese flavor. The "poem" on the package is an excerpt from a piece that appeared in the children's poetry magazine "Silo". The children's poetry magazine "Silo" has been published monthly since 1960 by the "Silo no Kai" of the Toyoshiro Oda Memorial Fund, with the aim of nurturing the poetic spirit of children living in Tokachi. We were impressed by Rokkatei's attitude of delivering...

15. Rokkatei’s Milk chocolate
The centerpiece of Rokkatei's chocolate lineup.
When it comes to Rokkatei, the chocolate with the illustration of the "Hamanashi" cannot be missed. Along with Rokkatei's white chocolate and mocha white chocolate, Rokkatei's classic milk chocolate has long been a favorite of many fans. I am not the only one who is reflexively happy when I see this illustration. Authentic attention to detail, using cocoa butter to finish the chocolate without vegetable fats. This chocolate has a strong flavor...

16. Itsuka Kita Michi
Crispy pie made with "marmelo" fruit
Rokkatei's pie confectionery "Itsuka Kita Michi" is a fruit-based crispy pie. It is a sister series to the "Shimo-Datami" cappuccino pie. The most distinctive feature of this pie is that it is made from a fruit called "marmelo". I looked up "Marmelo" and found that it is a member of the rose family, similar to the quince. Marumelo jelly that is contained in large cubes in the cream. The texture was crunchy...
more
17. Hana-no-Daichi Hirobiro
Strawberry sweet and sour full performan
This is a strawberry version of Rokkatei's chocolate-coated pie "Hana-no-Daichi Hirobiro". While the "Hatake-no-Daichi Hirobiro" was made with semi-sweet chocolate, this one is a chocolate pie made thoroughly with strawberries. It has a full strawberry look to it. There is a pinkish chocolate coating on the outside of this, and a darker color as well. Inside is a pie and a biscuit as the base, and even this cookie is thoroughly made...
more
18. Mansaku
Rokkatei's reincarnated classic "Mansaku"
Rokkatei's "Mansaku" is another of Rokkatei's long-time favorite confections. I was surprised when I opened it and found that it was different from the "Mansaku" I had remembered. I used to remember it as a manju with sweet potato filling, but this looks like a cupcake. I found out that it was reborn as a completely different confectionery in the spring of 2020. I was surprised to hear that it will be...
more
19. Marusei butter cake
Butter cake from the Marusei series, It’s gotta be delicious!
Rokkatei's signature confection is the "Marusei Butter Sand" but did you know that there is a "butter cake" in the Marusei series? Yellow package with the Marsei mark. Just looking at this classical crest-like design raises expectations. It looks like a simple cake, with a chocolate ganache cream sandwiched between two layers of sponge cake. The texture is quite moist and heavy. It feels slightly chewy. The texture of the sponge is...
more
20. Shimo-Datami
I've never had a pie with such a light texture!
Rokkatei's "Shimo-Datami" is a crispy chocolate pie. "Shimo(霜)" means ”Frost" in Japanese. When you open the package and take it out, you will be surprised at how light it is. Sandwiched inside is a generous layer of mocha white chocolate cream. The fluffy texture can be felt from the appearance. I carefully cut it in half and took a picture of the cross section. The pie crust is incredibly delicate, with plenty...
more
21. Yukiya-Konko
Cocoa cookies depicting falling snow
Cocoa cookie sandwiches "Yukiya-konko" made by Rokkatei. The package has a cute retro illustration of snow falling, giving it a Japanese look, but when opened, a cocoa cookie appears. The white chocolate cream inside can be seen through the biscuit. These white dots probably represent snow falling at night. The design of the sweets is also very elaborate. The cocoa cookie that sandwiches the cream seems to be made with a rather...

22. Hokka-idou
Takeshiro Matsuura, godfather of "Hokkaido"
Rokkatei's "Kitakamichi" is a so-called "red bean paste pie. The name "Hokka-idou(北加伊道)" was first given to what is now "Hokkaidou(北海道)" by Takeshiro Matsuura, an explorer from the end of the Edo period to the Meiji era. Hokkaido was still called "Ezochi" at that time. Takeshiro Matsuura is said to have repeatedly interviewed local people while respecting the culture and language of the Ainu people, and kept a journal while walking in various...
more
23. Momotose
English: Black currants｜Japanese: Kurosuguri｜French: Cassis
Rokkatei's "Momotose" is a pastry with sponge cake inside a pie crust. It is sandwiched with black currant jam, but I wondered what "black currant jam" was. It is the fruit of the blackcurrant plant, which is called "blackcurrant" in English and "kurosugiri" in Japan. In France, it is called "Cassis," and it is also a familiar fruit in cocktails such as "Cassis soda" and "Cassis orange". The cake is wrapped in...

24. Hatake-no-Daichi Hirobiro
Rokkatei's unique chocolate-coated pies and biscuits
Rokkatei's "Hatake-no-Daichi Hirobiro" is a mini-sized pie coated in chocolate. This "Hirobiro" series was created to commemorate the opening of Rokkatei's Sapporo main store in 2015. Upon opening the package, a bite-sized pie coated in semi-sweet chocolate appears. The size is that of a cookie. Cookie on the bottom, pie crust on the top, and chocolate coating on the outside. The semi-sweet chocolate has a real flavor. The cookie also has a...

25. Daiheigen
Simple but luxurious, madeleines filled with Hokkaido butter
Madeleines "Daiheigen" made by Rokkatei, this confectionery is also a long-selling product of Rokkatei. It has been sold for about 50 years. The package features an illustration of the vast plains of Hokkaido. Madeleines made with plenty of butter unique to Hokkaido. The texture is moist but a bit hard around the edges. I think this moderate hardness is the secret of its deliciousness. It is very fragrant because a lot of...
more
26. Gokuraku
Bite-sized popcorn-like brown sugar candy bars
It is the first Rokkatei candy I have ever eaten "Gokuraku", which is a bite-sized brown sugar karintou (Japanese fried dough cookies), and it comes in a very cute package. It is just the right size and is like a bite-sized karinto that can be easily eaten. It is flavored with brown sugar, but rather than having a strong sweetness, it is made to be light and to bring out the best...
more
27. Choco Marron
Luxurious taste with a touch of rum
"Choco Marron" a chestnut red bean paste sandwiched between cocoa cake and coated with chocolate, is another Rokkatei classic. Although it is compact in size, it is quite heavy and many fans can enjoy the luxurious chocolate and marron. The chocolate that hardens around it is nicely coated. A cross-section of the cake shows chestnut red bean paste sandwiched between cocoa cake and a generous amount of rum-infused chestnut seed paste. Delicious...
more
28. Rokkatei’s Mocha White Chocolate
Personally, when I think of Rokkatei's chocolates, I think of this.
I think it is the existence of this "Mocha Chocolate" that makes Rokkatei's chocolates unique. First of all, the illustration of flowers on the package makes me reflexively think, "Rokkatei! Rokutei's Mocha White Chocolate with a picture of Fukujuso is a confectionery that has held fond memories for me since I was a child. In the past, the chocolate used to be wrapped in silver paper, but in recent years, they seem...

29. Marusei Butter Sandwich
In other words, it is the king of souvenirs in Hokkaido.
"Marusei Butter Sandwich" is now so famous that I don't know how to introduce it. I myself have known about this butter sand since I was a child, but I used to avoid it because I was not fond of raisins, but as I grew up, people around me told me that "Marusei butter sandwiches are delicious" and, when I buy them as souvenirs in Hokkaido, they are bizarrely appreciated. As I...

30. Marusei-Caramel
The steadfast Marusei series. Aromatic butter caramel
You may have never heard of Marusei Butter Sand, but not many people have had this "Marusei Caramel". The caramels are richly flavored with Marusei butter." The "Marusei" design icon gives it a retro feel. When the package is opened, a glossy caramel appears. The caramel seems to be kneaded with biscuits, soybeans, and almonds, giving it the texture of a luxurious raw caramel. The soft caramel has a mellow buttery flavor...
more
31. Hitotsu-Nabe
The origin of the name is an episode of Hokkaido's pioneering spirit
This is a snack named "Hitotsu-nabe" (one pot). It is not a pot dish, but a monaka made by Rokkatei. Faithful reproduction of the shape of the pot. I have loved this "Hitotsu-Nabe" since I was a little girl, and I have lived my life like "When I think of monaca, I think of one pot! I have lived my life like this. There are many famous and delicious monaka, but when...
more
32. Ofutaride (mocha)
Why are Rokkatei's mocha sweets so delicious?
The package depicts "two flowers of 'nirin-sou' blooming like two flowers cuddling together from one plant. The name of the Dacquoise is "for the both of you. It is an excellent concept that is typical of Rokkatei. This is my first time to try Rokkatei's Dacquoise, and the rough outer dough looks delicious. When I split it in half, the delicate dacquoise pastry crumbled, but there was plenty of cream inside. The...
