Known for its "Fromage Double" cheesecake made from Hokkaido-produced fresh cream and carefully selected mascarpone cheese, this confectionery store in Otaru enjoys nationwide popularity. Located at the tourist-frequented Märchen Crossroads in Otaru, LeTAO Main Store opened in 1998. The store's name, meaning "Dear Tower of Otaru," is reflected in its impressive European-style exterior reminiscent of a large tower.
The first floor offers a variety of sweets for sale, including cakes, baked goods, Honey Butter Financier, and the monthly rotating cake "Merci Sweets" available only on the first Sunday of each month, providing exclusive menus not found elsewhere, making it a must-visit for both LeTAO fans and newcomers.
The second floor features a cafe corner where you can enjoy freshly made Fromage Double, dessert plates, and the store's exclusive blend of flavored tea in a retro ambiance. After shopping or visiting the cafe, make sure to visit the observation room on the top floor, offering views over Otaru's cityscape.
