[2025 Sapporo Restaurant] Travel Guide for Kitakaro Sapporo Honkan (Updated Apr)

Hokkaido is a treasure trove of sweets as well as food! Since it is a producer of fresh milk, you can't go wrong with milk-based products🥛 Kitakaro Sapporo Main Building can be accessed from Odori Subway Station through an underground passageway, and is located just south of the former Hokkaido Government Office, making it easy to include in your sightseeing. The building, built in the Taisho era as the Hokkaido Government Library, has undergone changes over the years, and thanks to the hands of Tadao Ando, ​​it still lives on in its current form💡 The interior of this wonderful, stately store is a shop on the first floor and a cafe on the second floor. The cafe has a library-like atmosphere that is reminiscent of the time😊 The store's representative products include rice crackers, baumkuchen, cookies, and soft serve ice cream, but if you're going to use the cafe, I definitely recommend the cake set🖐️ You can get your choice of cake + chiffon cake + soft serve ice cream with a drink for 990 yen (917 yen at the time of visit)! The choice of cake includes cream puffs, so this is a set you can't go wrong with 😉 Very milky and smooth cream puffs, and soft serve ice cream 🍦 I felt a direct connection to Hokkaido, and had a blissful time 👍 Many cakes are sold out late, so if you want to be sure, go early! #SapporoTrip2024 #100TravelStyles #DomesticTrip #Hokkaido #HokkaidoTrip #Sapporo #HokkaidoGourmet #SapporoGourmet #HokkaidoSweets #SapporoSweets #Kitakaro #Cake #CreamPuffs

Kitakaro is not only a well-known souvenir brand in Hokkaido, but did you know that its main store is also very unique and worth a visit? This main store is located next to the old Hokkaido government building and Odori Park. The predecessor of this building was the Hokkaido Government Library, and it was later rebuilt by the super famous Japanese architect Tadao Ando, ​​who designed this place that combines elements of desserts, art culture, and historical culture! You can also appreciate the works of master Ando Tadao in the downtown area. The first floor of our store is a spacious store, and the second floor is a cafe space. The walls on the second floor, which are made up of bookcases, and the high ceilings are very eye-catching. The ceiling is shaped like an arch with white concrete, and the gentle lines of the arch are highlighted by light and shadow. The preserved ancient red brick walls and the Western classical-style stairs are very distinctive and a great place to enjoy the "Dream Puffs" at Beiguolou!

Kitakaro Sapporo Main Building Address: 〒060-0001 1-2 Kita 1-jo Nishi 5-chome, Chuo-ku, Sapporo, Hokkaido Admission per person: 50 yuan Business hours: Monday to Sunday 10:00-18:00 (the cafe is closed on Tuesdays) The Hokkaido Government Library was built in 1923 to commemorate Yukihiro and now has a history of 100 years. This building, which combines the functions of a library and an art museum, was reborn in March 2016. It was designed by the world-renowned architect Tadao Ando and renamed Kitakaro Sapporo Main Building. There are various snacks on the first floor, and as a well-known Hokkaido brand, it is very suitable as a souvenir. Going up the ancient stairs, the original appearance of the library is still preserved, and the old stone bricks and walls reveal the vicissitudes of time. The connection between the new wall and the old building is not at all inconsistent. The unified color scheme makes the transition very natural and even imperceptible. The second floor is where the cafe is located, and the high ceiling design makes the window view particularly layered. Outside the window, passers-by and vehicles are hurrying by. In Sapporo, a city with peaceful years, a group of strangers suddenly broke in. Fortunately, they were warmly accepted by this city. ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ Beiguolou is proud of its strawberry cake and ice cream. This plate of dessert costs less than 50 yuan, which is very cost-effective. The cream is full of the rich milk flavor of Hokkaido, and the cake base is very soft. Every one of them is delicious!

I went to a dessert shop today. Japanese desserts are really good. Chocolate, puffs, cakes, and Western desserts are all delicious. I don’t like purely Japanese desserts very much. I think they are too sweet, even cloyingly sweet. But everyone has their own preferences. Just buy what you like! It’s not a big problem. I bought a small bag today and it was quite filling. I came back and took a look at the night view of the city. It was a place of decadence and glamour. I was intoxicated! #September2024 Store name: Kitakaro Sapporo Main Building 📍Address: Japan〒060-0001 Hokkaido, Sapporo, Chuo Ward, Kita 1 Jonishi, 5 Chome−１−2

When in Otaru, you must shop, eat, and explore! Kitakaro is the most famous dessert shop in Otaru. You can't miss it. The building is full of history! The shop is full of desserts. The packaging is exquisite. I bought a Baumkuchen, scallop fruit, and of course, a puff! I love the Dream Puffs! The pastry is super crispy, thin, and full of filling. It's full of cream and egg yolk sauce. It's so delicious.
