: Crochet & Sweets: A Taste of Hokkaido, Vol.8 "Butter cheese sand Petit"
2026/3/2
I recently discovered the "Petite Butter Cheese Sandwich" from Ferme La Terre Biei. Apparently, Ferme La Terre also has a wonderful restaurant in Biei. This sandwich is made with two types of cheese, Hokkaido cream cheese and mascarpone, and an original blend of 100% Hokkaido flour. The carefully selected ingredients are definitely "the best...".

: Crochet & Sweets: A Taste of Hokkaido, Vol.7 "Kibana"
2021/12/31
I bought my favorite sweet, "Kibana." It's a product of Tsuboya Sohonten, a confectionery shop in Asahikawa. It's easy to find at New Chitose Airport, but it has a somewhat understated image. That's why it feels like a special treat (though it's probably already famous), but on Tsuboya's product page...

: Crochet & Sweets: A Taste of Hokkaido, Vol.6 "Northman"
2023/1/15
When winter comes, there's a sweet I want to go out and buy. There's a long-established confectionery shop called "Senshu-an" that's well-known to all Hokkaido residents. They have a classic product called "Northman," a pie crust filled with sweet bean paste. It's absolutely delicious. Furthermore, there's a seasonal flavor of that Norseman, a type filled with chocolate bean paste...

: Crochet & Sweets: A Taste of Hokkaido, Vol.5 "Tsukisamu Anpan"
2021/12/14
I've been updating my "Crochet with Hokkaido Sweets" series quite frequently lately, but perhaps I'm using this as an excuse to buy another snack! It's a small, manju-sized bun, but with an irresistible name: "Tsukisamu Anpan." Isn't it cute when you think of it as an anpan? This is another Hokkaido sweet that's been around for a long time. And, as of the last time...

: Crochet & Sweets: A Taste of Hokkaido, Vol.4 "Kibi Dango"
2021/12/14
When I return to my hometown, I often find items in the supermarket that I never knew were sold anywhere else. This is one of them. Even when I'm in Tokyo, I sometimes wonder why I never see kibi dango, but for those of you who don't live in Hokkaido, do you know about this? This is a familiar item to Hokkaido natives, but it's also sold in supermarkets...

: Crochet & Sweets: A Taste of Hokkaido, Vol.3 "Niagara Chocolat Blanc Frais"
2021/12/8
This is a tipsy report about finally tasting a chocolate I've always wanted to try. As a chocolate lover, I couldn't miss out on this "Niagara Chocolat Blanc Frais." I had been hearing about it for a while, so I was really excited. I don't often buy grapes for myself, but...

: Crochet & Sweets: A Taste of Hokkaido, Vol.2 Rokkatei sweets
2021/12/8
Recently, I was delighted to receive a Rokkatei assortment set called "Tokachi Nisshi." It's the familiar green paper box I've seen for ages, but no matter how many times I look at it, I'm always struck with "Wow!" and I'm reminded once again how Rokkatei is truly a product of theirs. When something like this arrives, it's like a draft meeting to decide who gets what in the assortment...

: Crochet & Sweets: A Taste of Hokkaido, Vol.1 "Akai Sairo"
2021/12/8
Hokkaido is known for its dairy products. There are plenty of affordable souvenir sweets, like cheesecake and soufflé. I've tried a few and have no complaints about each one, but they all tend to be similar in texture and flavor. So, many of them don't leave much of an impression. But here's one that I thought was different! It's a popular item in curling...
