Small Venezia Rendez-Vous with Crispy Outside and Moisty Inside -LeTAO Pathos in Otaru-

LeTao (ルタオ) is a popular confectionery store in Otaru city and was founded in 1998. Kotobuki Spirits Co. Ltd. (寿スピリッツ株式会社), famous confectionery company in Tottori, is a parent company. I thought that an origin of Letao inverted Otaru in Japanese language, but it was wrong. It is an initial "Dear tower of Otaru in French language (Le Tour Amitie Otaru)". That was unexpected.

Along Sakaimachi-Dori Street (堺町通り), there are 5 stores, LeTao Head Office (ルタオ本店), Pathos Branch (パトス), Le Chocolat Branch (ルショコラ), Cheese Cake labo Branch (チーズケーキラボ) and Plus Branch (プラス). I purchased a small venezia rendez-vous (小さなヴェネチアランデブー) at the Pathos Branch this time. The price was JPY 350.

There was a place for customers to enjoy foods and drinks at the store, I ate it immediately. It had crispy texture on the surface. Inside soft and moist cheese was not too sweet, the sweetness was just right. By the way, they do not have a free parking lot, please use a partner parking lot around store.

Sweets Combo with Marvelous Meltable in Mouth (奇跡の口どけセット) of LeTAO is found on Amazon.
