Reasonable Cake Set -Kitakaro Sapporo Honkan in Sapporo-

Kitakaro Sapporo Honkan (北菓楼札幌本館) is a confectionery store near Former Hokkaido Government Office Building in Chuo ward, Sapporo city and opened in 2016. There is a head office in Sunagawa city. A building is a stone library built in 1926 and is renovated by Mr. Tadao Ando (安藤忠雄). There is the confectionery store on the first floor and is a cafe on the second floor. It features large bookshelves utilized an atmosphere of the library.

Because a former co-worker who came from Tokyo was surprised at good value for the price of a cake set, I decided to visit here. It was almost full when I visited around 14:00. After all it was popular. I took a seat and read a menu, and ordered the cake set (ケーキセット). The price was JPY 750.

This cake set is a cake with a chiffon cake, a cup of an ice cream and a drink. Customers can choose a kind of the cake (cream puff) among 10 kinds of the cakes. Speaking of Kitakaro, the cream puff is famous, too, so I could not decide which to choose the cream puff among 3 kinds of the cream puff. I was advised by a waitress and chose Biscuit that is a rare type of tearing the cream puff and eating the cream puff.

A puff shell of the Biscuit seems to contain cheese and it features that it is salty. It went well with sweet cream and was tasty! The puff shell was moist firmness and was like a bun rather than the cream puff. The chiffon cake that the former co-worker prized very much was very fluffy and was good! Blue-berried honeysuckle sauce was sprinkled over the ice cream and was good, too.
