Sweets Kingdom, Obihiro, Hokkaido. There is no shortage of sweet souvenirs, such as the famous Rokkatei main store and the Baumkuchen "Sanpo Roku" Ryugetsu.

Meanwhile, the shop recommended by the local Madam is "Cranberry". The "sweet potatoes sold by weight" here are exquisite, and Madame himself "absolutely buys them as souvenirs for Tokyo."


That is here. A large sweet potato skin bowl is filled with plump potatoes that are nicely browned. There is no cut one, and it is sold as a single unit. Because the size changes depending on the item, it is sold by weight.



When I cut it and look at the cross section, it seems that cream is spread on the skin and it is filled with potato filling.

The taste is just a word of "simple". The moist and smooth potato filling has a very rich sweet potato flavor. It has a simple flavor, like a sweet potato I made with my grandma a long time ago.

On the other hand, the custard cream under the filling becomes the essence of a candy store. Only sweet potatoes, but sweet potatoes. Cranberry sweet potatoes have an exquisite taste that you can make but you can't.


The price at the store is 216 yen / 100g (3.53oz). In addition to stores in the city, it is also sold at shops inside JR Obihiro Station and at airport shops. Please put into the refrigerator to prospect for about three hours and that after the purchase. You can also buy one by mail order from 1,200 yen.

But the important thing is from here. Freshly baked, awesome, awesome, awesome, awesome !!!


I had a special meal in the store that I had just purchased, but first of all, the way the sweet potato scent spreads is completely different. And surprisingly fluffy. The slightly warm filling melts gently when you put it in your mouth, leaving a gentle sweetness.

Even if it is chilled, you can regain the fluffy feeling by warming it in the microwave. However, I don't think there is anything better than the impression of freshly baked products. By all means, get something warm at the store and enjoy it slowly at a hotel. It's quite modest in sweetness, so I think it's good for breakfast.

Needless to say, this sweet potato is a cranberry signature menu. It's a taste that has been loved since it was founded in 1972. It is said that they value the individuality of sweet potatoes, which differ depending on the harvest area and season, and handcraft each one.

And the other thing I was interested in was the potato pie (just the name, it looks like a potato side dish pie). At the main store, there was also a cut sale.


Cream between the pies, sweet potatoes and sweet and sour berry sauce on top. It was a simple snack that I wanted to eat again, though it was simple.


In addition, at the main store, a number of sweets that are typical of pastry shops, such as soft serve ice cream and fresh cakes (about 200 yen, cheap!) Were on sale. Rokkatei's sweets and Mikata Roku are good, but if you like potatoes, you definitely want to go to Cranberry.
