Rokkatei is famous for its classic Marusei butter sandwich and chocolate covered freeze-dried strawberries. Many people know about these treats as souvenirs, but they also sell a large variety of lesser known sweets!
 
The reason why sweets of Rokkatei have long been loved by so many people is that their factory in Obihiro is blessed with delicious water and rich raw materials.
They do not use additives as much as possible, and basically use materials that are found in the kitchen of most houses. Because their sweets do not have any preservatives, they are delivered from the factory to the store on the day of manufacture. That means that there are lots of tasty sweets only in Hokkaido at the Rokkatei store.

In the coffee shop, seasonal limited menus will change a lot, but the classic hot cake (520 yen) is a dish that remains a staple of Rokkatei. The best way to eat them is to first spread the butter a lot on the front and back of the stack and divide it into six equal parts. Then, we recommend adding plenty of maple syrup and eat it with the mushrooms.
