Kitakaro Sapporo Main Store | Review by 黃國棟

One of the classic souvenirs you have to buy when visiting Hokkaido!

Hanabatake Ranch Fresh Caramel is made with carefully selected ingredients and meticulous methods. It has a soft, delicate texture that slowly melts in your mouth, releasing a rich milky flavor. It's really unique.

Unlike regular caramel, which tends to be chewier, fresh caramel is smoother and melts in your mouth. The rich milky flavor goes down easily, making it hard to stop at just one. Before you know it, they're all gone.

Among Hokkaido souvenirs, this is a very iconic classic treat. It's well worth trying if you like a rich milky flavor!

When you come to Hokkaido, one of the most highly recommended souvenirs is White Black Thunder! The white chocolate and crunchy texture make it sweet and rich. It’s a popular chocolate bar available only in Hokkaido, and people often buy several boxes at a time. It’s very convenient as a souvenir.

But honestly~

I personally think it’s a little too sweet, so I don’t especially like it! But my family loves it, so I still bring some back for them every time I come to Hokkaido.

When traveling independently in Sapporo, SATUDORA is a must on the shopping itinerary! The Tanukikoji Daio Building Store near Tanukikoji has two floors. The entire store is spacious and has a huge variety of products, making it really easy for international travelers to shop!

The first floor mainly carries medicine, food, and other products, while the second floor has cosmetics, daily necessities, and more. Everything is clearly organized and easy to find. What I like most is that the aisles are very wide, and you can also use a shopping cart, so it doesn't feel too crowded even when there are a lot of people.

From medicine and cosmetics to snacks and daily necessities, you can find almost all the Japanese souvenirs you want in one place〜 If you want to do some serious shopping while visiting Sapporo, the Tanukikoji Daio Building Store is definitely worth adding to your shopping list!
