How could you visit Hokkaido without stopping by Rokkatei! I ate so many Rokkatei sweets on this trip. It truly lives up to its reputation as one of Hokkaido's iconic confectionery brands, with every item being above average. They're also very suitable as souvenirs. This time, I specifically bought the assorted pack/store-exclusive assorted pack, which lets you try several different signature sweets all at once. It's great for giving as a gift or enjoying slowly yourself.
However, one thing to keep in mind is that the assorted packs at this store have a relatively short shelf life! The items inside expire much sooner than the products sold individually on the regular shelves, so be sure to check the expiration dates when purchasing them. This is especially important if you plan to bring them back to Taiwan as souvenirs!
There is also a seating area on the second floor. After buying your sweets, you can sit down, enjoy them with a cup of coffee, and leisurely spend some time with Rokkatei's desserts.
