Rokkatei "Yukiya Konko"

Rokkatei

Rokkatei, a confectionery maker that represents Hokkaido. I don't think anyone is happy to receive the sweets from Rokkatei, including Marusei Butter Sandwich.

The other day, the En-eating editorial department also got an assortment of sweets from Rokkatei as a souvenir from Hokkaido ...

The naming is insanely emo (= emotional). It was packed with sweets with unique names that you wouldn't forget once you saw it.

This road is the one that came someday

A crispy savory pie sandwiched between jelly of the fruit "quince", also known as "western quince", and lemon chocolate cream with acacia honey, "this road has come someday".

Some of you may have already come to this candy, but this is a candy inspired by the lyrics of "Kono Michi" written by Hakushu Kitahara and composed by Kosaku Yamada.

Acacia honey is named after "Akashiya no Hana" in the lyrics of "Kono Michi". The quince flesh that has been stuffed into it is characterized by its sweetness, which is similar to an apple. Wrapped in a slightly sour cream, the fruitiness stands out more.

I love it because it's so delicious

By the way, it is said that the "white clock tower" that also appears in the lyrics is the Sapporo clock tower, and the "clock tower" is also drawn on the package of the road that came someday.

Together

"Futari de" is a sweet made by sandwiching cream with softly baked Dacquoise. The name comes from the desire to add glamor to a fun time with family and friends.

There are two types, "Matcha flavor" sandwiched with cream containing Dainagon azuki beans and "Mocha flavor" sandwiched with cream containing bitter sweet chocolate. You can enjoy the contrast between the crispy and fluffy duck words and the chewy cream texture. The mouthfeel and taste are simple and gentle. You will want to spend a relaxing time with your loved one with this sweet.

Crispy cappuccino frost

"Crispy Cappuccino Frost Tatami" sandwiched with coffee-flavored white chocolate cream in a chocolate-flavored pie. Winter has come to the Tokachi Plain, and it is a cold morning with the first frost. It is said that it was created with the image of a "crispy" feel when stepping on the ground.

The idea of expressing the "crispy" feeling on your feet with the texture when you eat it is already romantic. The pie is bittersweet, the cream is not too sweet and has a savory richness, and it is a taste for adults.

Once you eat it, you will be addicted to it.

Snow and konko

"Yukiya Konko" is a sandwich of white chocolate with biscuits containing black cocoa. There are small holes on the surface of the biscuit, and white cream can be seen from inside. This expresses "snow falling from the night sky in winter".

Certainly, it looks like white snow is fluttering in the black night sky.

The bitter cocoa biscuits and the slightly sour and refreshing white chocolate go great together. The delicate texture that melts moistly while being crispy is also the reason for its deliciousness.

Nothing

Although not included in this assortment, there is also a slightly unusual sweet called "Nothing". This is a dialect of Hokkaido that means something like "No, don't worry".

When I inquired about the origin of the product name, he said, "When I tried to bake Parmesan cheese with a playful spirit, each one was made with a different expression and a feeling of handmade. I named it "mo". " The humble attitude and adorable sound are wonderful.

In addition, there are many sweets that bring to mind the magnificent nature of Hokkaido, such as Madeleine "Ohirahara", which uses plenty of butter from Hokkaido, and "Hirobiro", which is made by layering biscuits and pies and coating them with chocolate.

Rokkatei's sweets are preferred as souvenirs because people who eat them feel as if they have visited Hokkaido.
