Cranberry
Cranberry (クランベリー) is a long-established western confectionery store founded in 1972 in Obihiro city. Cranberry corp. runs it, and Mr. Kohei Mitobe (水戸部 公平) is a company president. Their former name was Andersen (アンデルセン), and it may be more widely accepted. The head office is in the Obihiro, and some branches open a business in the Obihiro and Satsunai. Sweet potato cakes (スイートポテト) is famous, and have been well-known as a local specialty of the Obihiro. They also sell baked confectioneries, manju steamed buns and chocolates. Yomitan Soft Serve Ice Cream (読谷ソフトクリーム) is famous, too.
My visited place is the head office near Obihiro Chuo Park. A sunny building is feeling good. A place for customers to enjoy foods and drinks is provided at the store, so customers can savor their sweets at the store.
A highway bus "Potato Liner (ポテトライナー)" runs between the Obihiro and the Sapporo, and a express bus "North Liner-go (ノースライナー号)" runs between the Obihiro and Asahikawa. Besides, Rent-a-car can be rented around Obihiro Station and Obihiro Airport.

About 8 minutes later, the baked sweet potato set was served. The browned surface sharpened my appetite. I understood that the sweet potato cake was divided into 3 layers, sweet potato, custard cream and peel of sweet potato from the side.
I had a bite immediately. It was tasty! The sweet potato part was slightly sweet, and the custard cream part was very sweet, and those were the balanced taste. By the way, customers can have a large sweet potato cake to go. It may be pleased with a souvenir because this sweet potato cake is famous for large. Thanks for the tasty sweet poptato cake!
