Kinotoya

Kinotoya (きのとや) is a famous confectionary store based in Sapporo city, and is run by Kinotoya corp. Mr. Akio Naganuma (長沼昭夫) is a company chairman, and has established it since 1986. He also held the office of Sapporo Sweets Kingdom Promotion Council (スイーツ王国さっぽろ推進協議会). The head office is in Shiroishi ward, and some branches such as Odori Park Branch (大通公園店) open a business in the Sapporo and New Chitose Airport. They serve a lot of famous sweets such as Sapporo Nogako (札幌農学校 * Agricultural College) Cookie and Cream Cheese Souffle (クリームチーズスフレ). Milk produced in Hokkaido is fully used for the sweets.

My visited place is the head office near Subway Tozai Line Shiroisshi Station. Buildings of the head office has been rebuilt since 2013, and is stylish. There are a tea room as well as a sale space at the buidlings, too. They also sell cakes, so a lot of people gather here to buy christmas cakes, and a traffic jam is caused on a road. It is called popular name, Kinotoya Traffic Jam.

SAPPORO

Sapporo (札幌) that about 1,960,000 people live is the largest city in Hokkaido. Although there are various theories, its origin of the name is "Dry Big River (乾いた大きな川)" in Ainu language. A population of the Sapporo is the 4th largest city after Yokohama, Osaka and Nagoya in japan, and the population accounts for 36 % of Hokkaido's population! So the Sapporo has been flourished as the center of the Hokkaido. The area of the Sapporo is 1,121.26 km2, and is about as big as Hong Kong, and is the 7th largest city in the Hokkaido. The Sapporo is also famous as a tourist city, and about 15 million people come. As for a climate, it is hot that temperature rises to nearly 25 degrees in a summer, but it is easy to live without moisture. I always feel a little cool. It is cold that temperature falls to nearly -10 degrees in a winter, and amount of snowfall sometimes has more than 1 m. Article is here

Sweets

I ate Rakuno Cheese Pudding, Yakitate Cheese Tart and Prime Milk Soft Serve Ice Cream at the Shiroishi Head Office.

Rakuno Cheese Pudding and Yakitate Cheese Tart

I bought a Rakuno (Dairy Farming) Cheese Pudding (酪農チーズプリン) and a Yakitate (Hot from Oven) Cheese Tart (焼き立てチーズタルト) this time. Both are popular sweets. Milk produced in Biei and cream cheese produced in Hokkaido were used in the Rakuno (Dairy Farming) Cheese Pudding. The rich taste pudding was tasty.

As for the Cheese Tart, the outside was crispy cookie, and the inside was fluffy and moist cheese mousse. Mellow cheese taste spread out in my mouth.

Prime Milk Soft Serve Ice Cream

There is a cafe room at the Shiroishi Head Office, too, so visitors can eat cakes or baked sweets there. I ordered a Prime Milk Soft Serve Ice Cream (極上牛乳ソフトクリーム). The price was JPY 388. They serve the soft serve ice cream with a holder if customers eat those at the cafe room. I ate it immediately, and I was suprised at the rich milk taste. It was marvelous! In addition, the soft serve ice cream was just smooth texture like a silk, and was slightly sweet.
