Anbatasan, Hokkaido Sable Sandwiches - A famous confectionary from Tokachi

The "Hokkaido Sablet Sandwich Tokachi Famous Sweets Anbatasan" is sold by the Hokkaido confectionery maker Ryugetsu. The price for a package of 4 pieces is 555 yen (tax included).

Ingredients include flour, sugar, and eggs produced in Hokkaido. The fermented butter is also from Hokkaido and is made after the cream is fermented with lactic acid bacteria. The flavor is further enriched by adding heat.


For the red bean paste, azuki beans produced in Tokachi, Hokkaido are used. The skin is cooked to the perfect degree of softness and not too hard, so that it goes well with the butter.

The sablet is crispy and light to the touch, while the cream in between is smooth and contrasts with the texture. In contrast, the cream between the two is smooth, creating a contrast in texture. The azuki beans left in the cream are a nice accent. The sablet will change to a moist texture if you let it sit for a few days after purchase.


The dusty sweetness of the red bean paste, the richness and subtle sourness of the fermented butter, and the savory aroma of the sablet come together as one. The impression is not that any one of them strongly asserts itself, but that they are well-balanced. The sablet is sprinkled with salt from Okhotsk, and the salty taste in the sweetness is a taste that lingers in the mouth.


This is a typical Hokkaido pastry filled with the bounty of the earth nurtured in its rich nature. You can enjoy the exquisite collaboration of red bean paste and butter.
