Rokkatei Otaru Canal Store

Rokkatei, a confectionery manufacturer known for popular Hokkaido souvenirs such as "Marusei Butter Sandwich," "Yukiyakonko," and strawberry chocolate, operates the Otaru Canal Store. This store, built using approximately 100,000 bricks from Tokachi, features a retro exterior that blends seamlessly with the streetscape of Sakaimachi Main Street.

The shop on the first floor offers an extensive lineup of Rokkatei sweets, leading with butter sandwiches. Not only are there boxed options suitable for gifts, but also a wide selection of individually sold items, allowing for flexible shopping. The second floor serves as a relaxation space where visitors can enjoy the sweets purchased downstairs. With a free coffee service available upon purchasing sweets, it's recommended for those looking to take a sweet break amidst their travels.

A highlight sweet is the "Yukikon Cheese," a rich baked cheesecake sandwiched between bitter cocoa biscuits. This treat, recommended to be consumed within two hours of purchase and not available for mail order, is a must-try directly at the store.
