I visited a shop that caught my attention in the book "Tokawa Style" with a memorable development story. I bought a chiffon cake made with rice flour from Tokawa's rice for takeout. I also purchased products collaborated with local Yoshinori Coffee and a Japanese sake brewery. The chiffon cake was fluffy with cream inside and very delicious. I couldn't really taste the coffee or sake lees flavor, so it might be better if it was stronger. I've tried various sweets in Hokkaido, but this one left a particularly strong impression due to its unexpectedness. Thank you for the meal.

This beautiful colored pudding is perfect as a souvenir! Of course, the taste is elegant too, with distinct flavors and textures of the water layer, pudding layer, and caramel layer. It seems that they use spring water from the foot of Mt. Asahidake in Daisetsuzan. They also sell it at the nearby roadside station.

"Tengetsuan" - A long-established confectionery shop in Higashikawa Town! Whether it's for birthdays, Christmas, gifts for friends, or souvenirs, our family always chooses "Tengetsuan" sweets for these special occasions. I have been eating their sweets since I was a child. The shop may look small from the outside, but inside, it is spacious and beautifully arranged with a wide variety of sweets. From fresh cakes to individually wrapped baked goods and traditional Japanese sweets, they have it all. It's amazing to see that the sweets from Higashikawa have remained unchanged over the years. The lady at the register, who has been there since I was young, is still as cute and lovely as ever. Now, she is an even lovelier and kind grandmother. Just chatting with her brings me joy. This time, I ordered a cake for my nephew's 1st birthday. The cakes here have light and easy-to-eat fresh cream, and the sponge is fluffy with a light texture, making it disappear in no time. My family loves it. My father's favorite is the strawberry shortcake, so our family always goes for the classic strawberry decoration cake. Despite trying many delicious cakes and sweets in life, I always find myself coming back to the comforting taste of "Tengetsuan." I hope they never change, as I want to continue enjoying their sweets like a taste of home.

During the consecutive holidays, I went to Higashikawa Town to take photos of manhole covers. I also took the opportunity to explore the town. I visited a roadside station nearby and found that they were selling cakes made with rice flour. I bought a rice flour roll cake and a rice flour souffle. The roll cake had a moist and chewy texture with a light cream that had a delicate sweetness. The souffle was fluffy and light, yet moist with a strong egg flavor. Both cakes had a delicious mochi-like texture. I would definitely buy them again if I have the chance. Thank you for the meal.

"Gesshouan" I don't need to remember the name, right? Maybe they don't want people to remember it? Well, I don't need to remember it, so it's fine. I came to Higashikawa today, and I left early. I didn't want to be asked, "Where are you going today?" It's a city my wife likes, so it's nice that there are quite a few places open early. This place also opens early, as per the information, from 8:30. I arrived early and managed to hit two places for my first and second stops, but the second place was closed. Next, I saw a coffee shop while running, with many signs out, so I thought it was open and stopped by, but it was closed. Well, I wasted some time. Next is "Gesshouan." It says cakes and Japanese sweets. If they have sweet bean mochi, I might buy some. The shop is very beautiful, both outside and inside. There are three women, one of whom is an old lady. Is the old lady the poster girl? She has a cute vibe. I thought about getting a cake, but I have a lot to take home today, so I ordered something that I can't quite remember. They said, "Mix it well and drink it." It has orange ice in it, and it's a chocolate drink. So, it must be chocolate-based. The straw is already in it, and the tip of the straw is covered by a straw cover. It's a nice touch. I wondered if it would be more gooey, but it's very smooth. The chocolate is rich in flavor. It's similar to something from Starbucks, but equally delicious. You have to mix it well and drink it slowly, or you'll finish it before the orange flavor comes through. I kept drinking, and finally, after about two minutes, the orange flavor came through. It's subtle, but maybe that's better. However, at 450 yen, it's a bit pricey. It's delicious, but the orange ice part is mostly left over. Oh no, I drank it without taking a picture. I should have taken a picture right away. Oh, the name of the place was "Tengean." How do I convert this... How do I convert it? I was able to convert it to "onaji."

However, it seems that wheat gluten is used, so it may not be suitable for those with wheat allergies. Although no one has allergies, I was curious and decided to purchase it. It is surprisingly soft and fluffy. I was nervous that it might get squished when I cut it. I carefully and gently cut it with a knife. I thought we wouldn't be able to finish it, but we ended up asking for seconds and it quickly disappeared. Even those who are not interested in sweets enjoyed it. I left the cookies as a gift. I hope they find it delicious.

On the way back from "Ravista Daisetsuzan," I stopped by a confectionery shop called "Tengetsuan" in Higashikawa Town. Inside the shop, there was a wide variety of Western-style sweets lined up. After some hesitation, I purchased two pieces of "Silk Roll" for 300 yen each and two pieces of "Tempting Custard" for 280 yen each. The Silk Roll is a soft and moist cake made with rice flour, while the Tempting Custard is a custard pudding with a strong egg flavor and a hint of maple. Both had a simple and delicious taste. Next time, I'll make sure to buy the popular item, "Rice Flour Chiffon Cake."

After eating porridge and feeling like ramen wouldn't be enough, I decided to buy some sweets on my way home. As I looked around for a parking spot, I noticed a huge crowd across the street at a tofu shop I've heard of before. Maybe they have a limit on the number of customers allowed inside? The area in front of the shop was quite crowded, almost like being in close proximity to three people. The cake shop I went to had no other customers when I arrived, but a regular customer came in right after me and quickly placed an order, so I had plenty of time to take photos and make my selection. I'm not good with sweets and tend to be indecisive, so I quickly chose a caramel coconut cake without paying much attention to the description. It turned out to have a coconut-like taste, but it was okay since I can handle it. The cake had four layers - caramel mousse, sponge cake, whipped cream, and what seemed like a coconut fiber layer at the bottom. I also tried a bite of the Michel cake, which had a rich and bitter sweetness from the couverture chocolate, and it was delicious. Sometimes taking a break with something sweet can be nice.

I had been there a few times, but buying a cake was a first for me last time. I revisited for the cake. It was really delicious. The sweetness was light and not too heavy. The cream was beyond my expectations. The sponge was moist and fluffy. The fruits were fresh. The chocolate cakes had a perfect balance of depth and sweetness. Overall, the cakes were light but very delicious. I will definitely go back to buy cakes again. Thank you for the meal.

It seems I haven't introduced this place yet. But my memory of it is quite faded... I don't really remember much. This cake was so delicious! The whipped cream was light and the sweetness was just right. I could probably eat 2-3 of them! The sponge was also soft and fluffy. Maybe I should have bought a rice flour chiffon cake too? They have a variety of baked goods, so it seems like a good place for gifts. I'll buy some as souvenirs. It was a cake worth going out of my way for. Thank you for the meal!

It's a popular snack specialty store. The variety of cakes was rich and delicious. There were always new products, and I couldn't resist eating them. That's why I gained quite a bit of weight during my year of studying abroad. My favorite is the shortcake! The tartness of the strawberries and the sweetness of the cake are perfectly balanced!

Silk roll pink cake: Raspberry triangle cake: Noir Planet rectangular cake: Michelle silk roll moist and delicious, wish I had bought a whole one! All the cakes were delicious, but Michelle had the best flavor and texture. Thank you for the meal!

After a satisfying lunch, my family asked, "Shall we buy some Chon?" (That's what we call this shop at home.) And so, we ended up going there. I'm a big fan of their rice flour chiffon cake. The shops along Higashikawa's main street have lovely signs. Here is a strawberry cake. The interior is also decorated for Halloween, and the cakes look delicious. Let's buy some to take home. The rice flour chiffon cake costs 980 yen, the rice flour omelette costs 300 yen, the chestnut pie costs 280 yen, and the apple pie costs 280 yen. The rice flour chiffon cake is fluffy and moist, not too sweet, with a simple taste that disappears quickly. I quickly devoured it. Before finishing everything, I split it in half. The rice flour omelette is also moist, with a layer of whipped cream and custard cream inside, topped with berries. It's delicious too. My family enjoyed the pies. Thank you for the meal.

Valentine's Day has come again this year! Limited edition chocolates are available for purchase, perfect for yourself. The cakes are also delicious. Recommended item is Mont Blanc.

I bought Double Fromage, Gateau Chocolat, and Fromage Duo from a shop located diagonally across from Michi-no-Eki in Higashikawa Town. They were all delicious.

Special chocolate! The cake is delicious, but the chocolate is also delicious!
