Kojika Confectionery in Wakkanai, Hokkaido

Kojika confectionery is located in Wakkanai, Hokkaido, a city rich in nature. I found their "Wakkanai Hokuriku 45° Mochirine" at a supermarket fair. Attracted by the cute name, I bought it.

Wakkanai 45°Northern Latitude Mochirine

Wakkanai Hokuriku 45° Mochirine" is a dough made from Hokkaido rice flour and filled with original cream. The cream is a combination of custard cream made from Wakkanai milk and fresh Hokkaido cream. The price is 540 yen (tax not included) for a package of three.


Although it looks like a round cream puff, the dough is much stickier than cream puffs. It is moist and elastic, and is a perfect match for the soft and fluffy cream. The savory taste of wheat is mixed with the soft sweetness of rice flour.


It is followed by the fresh flavor of milk. The aftertaste is lighter than expected despite its deep richness. Combined with its melt-in-your-mouth texture, it leaves a delicate impression.


This mochirine is the perfect accompaniment to coffee or tea. Enjoy the moment the cream overflows from the sticky dough!
