Everyone in Japan knows Hokkaido’s sweets, “Shiroi Koibito.” Ishiya Co., Ltd.was an ordinary candy maker to begin with, but utilizing quality ingredients in Hokkaido changed them into the producer of the classic dessert. More than 40 years passed since its beginning, but it is still the beloved souvenir of Hokkaido to this day.

“Shiroi Koibito” is the French cookies, Langue de chat, that sandwich the originally-blended white chocolate. It melts on your tongue, leaving mild sweetness. The contrast of crisp texture and smooth chocolate taste is hard to forget.

The package has kept the same Mt. Rishiri since the beginning, which is Hokkaido’s famous mountain. Take a look at the package. The designer in those days aligned Hokkaido’s tall mountains with Swiss Alps, aiming for the European-level desserts with love for Hokkaido in his heart.

    北海道土産と言えば、「白い恋人」一択です!
    その理由は至ってシンプル、

    超有名・美味い・どこでも買える

    この3つに尽きます!

    「誰もが知ってるお土産なんか手垢が付いたようで嫌だ!」
    なんて言わないで!

    札幌の地を踏んだ時から、
    その思い出が本当のお土産になってるんですよ。

    だから、ご友人や職場へのお土産を買い忘れた時でも、宿泊したホテルでもすぐ買えるからご安心を!

    これほど有名で、もらって嫌がられないお土産も滅多に無いんですから。
