Le Petit Boule Chocolatier Sapporo
Le Petit Boule Chocolatier Sapporo (ル・プティ・ブーレ ショコラティエ サッポロ) is a popular pastry store in Chuo ward, Sapporo city, and is near Odori Park and Hokkaido University Botanical Garden.

He used to train his cooking skill in Kanagawa, Japan and France, and used to work as a patissier for 6 years in Jean-Paul Hevin Tokyo called the world class chocolatier. They serve cakes and baked confectioneries using chocolate. Unfortunately, They have closed down since 2016. This article before closing is as follows. Now he has established Lumiere et ombre (リュミエール エ オンブル) at a different place.
Odori Park
Odori Park (大通公園) is in the very center of Sapporo city, and is located between Sapporo Station and Susukino. Offices and commercial facilities are built around the park, and it is just at very center of the big city. But 92 types 4,700 trees such as lilac, Japanese elm and cherry tree are planted, and fountains and flower beds are built, so the park is well-known as a place of relief for Sapporo citizens as well as tourists. The park has been chosen as one of The 100 Best Roads in Japan (日本の道100選), Japanese City Park Best 100 (日本の都市公園100選), The 100 Best Townscapes (都市景観100選) and Japan's Top 100 Historical Parks (日本の歴史公園100選), so it is one of the most famous parks in Japan.

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. Read More

Criollo and Passionnata
I asked a waitress about store's recommendation at a cash register, so she replied me "Criollo (クリオロ) is the most popular cake". The criollo refers to the name of the best kind of the cocoa bean native to Central and South America. Because he had a confident of the cake, I thought that he named it so. The price was JPY 440. In addition, I was interested in colourful Passionnata (パショナタ). It means "Passionate" in Italian. The cake was a blaze of colors. The price was JPY 450. I ordered those, and I decided to eat 2 cakes at the store.
I judged the Criollo using cacao abundantly by the appearance and the fragrance. Chocolate sponge and mousse chocolate layered in the cake. It was not sweet, and was bitter. I thought that it was a cake for chocolate lover.
The passionnata had layers of mousse chocolate and cream passion on crunchy feuillantine. The cake was topped with a candied kumquat. The taste was sour, and the sweetness was just right, too. Walnuts at the cake accentuated tough. By the way, a cup of roasted tea was served freely when customers ate a cake at a table. Thanks for the tasty cakes!
