Today's food log activity is here. I went shopping for souvenirs, which one should I choose? I think I'll go for the New Chitose Airport limited edition items. The Haskap Jewelry catches my eye. It's quite pricey, isn't it? How many pieces should I get? I decided on the 6-piece set, and they included a free ice pack. It was delicious and crunchy. Haskap Jewelry - 1770 yen. Thank you for the meal! (^^)v

I was struggling with choosing souvenirs from Hokkaido because many of them need to be refrigerated or frozen. I was checking out items with high ratings on Instagram and decided to buy them. However, New Chitose Airport turned out to be larger than I expected, and I didn't have much time before my flight, so asking the information desk was the best option! They quickly showed me the location on the map. ⭐️ Haskap Berry Jelly 4-pack for 1180 yen. If it's within 3 hours, you can get dry ice for free, which was very helpful. I'll put it in the fridge as soon as I get home. I made sure to bring a cooler bag to keep it cold! The jam made from haskap berries is sandwiched between buttercream and cookies, coated with chocolate around the edges. It gets sticky in hot weather, but when you eat it cold, the haskap jam is sweet and sour, very delicious. It's a bit pricey, but it's perfect as a souvenir for yourself. I found another delicious Hokkaido souvenir.

I bought some handmade dorayaki from Morimoto at New Chitose Airport souvenir area. The dorayaki was in a simple white box and had a special feel to it. It was delicious with a soft and moist texture, filled with plenty of sweet red bean paste. The overall sweetness was moderate, making it easy to eat. I also tried a chocolate-flavored snow crane snack, which had a nice crispy texture with a hint of saltiness. I regret not buying the thin rice cake strawberry daifuku and the savory poteto snack. I would like to try them next time.

Last time I came to Hokkaido, I tried various dorayaki from different shops and found that Morimoto's dorayaki was the most delicious. I was curious about the special dorayaki displayed next to the cash register at New Chitose Airport, which was different from the regular ones and a bit more expensive. It turns out that it is a special product baked at the Chitose main store. Upon researching, I found out that Morimoto also makes a dorayaki called Dorayaki Nouveau, using azuki beans harvested that year, and it will be available for sale in the fall. They seem to put a lot of effort into their dorayaki unexpectedly. This time, I couldn't buy the Honno Nouveau, so I bought a box of handmade dorayaki from the Chitose main store. When I opened the box and unwrapped it, a thick dorayaki appeared. It was perfectly round with a generous amount of red bean paste inside. The skin was chewy, the red bean paste was not too sweet, just right. It had a chewy texture, thick red bean paste, and was very delicious. It didn't feel too heavy even after eating one. Morimoto's dorayaki might unexpectedly become a regular souvenir.

Morimoto New Chitose Airport Store 987-22 Mimi, Chitose City, Hokkaido New Chitose Airport Terminal Building Domestic Terminal Building 2F Haskap Jewelry White Version MIX 6 pieces 1680 yen (tax included) [Limited to Chitose Airport, No. 1 popular item] A combination of Haskap Jewelry and a white version with white chocolate trimming. Haskap Jewelry has been loved since its birth in 1978 as Morimoto's long-selling product, "Northern Small Cake Haskap Jewelry." It sandwiches Hokkaido's specialty fruit "Haskap" sweet and sour jam with a mild buttercream and thin baked cookies, surrounded by gentle sweetness of chocolate. Its delicate and elegant taste is like a small cake.

In Hokkaido, I had never heard of dorayaki before. It seems like Tokyo has a better selection, with famous dorayaki shops. However, I bought some from Rokkatei, Machimura Noujou, and Morimoto, with the idea of being able to enjoy them later like convenience store snacks. I remembered Morimoto's dorayaki being delicious, so I stopped by the airport shop. In addition to dorayaki, I also bought yukimushi souffle and yukitsuru. They all have a similar texture to dorayaki, with cream wrapped in a soft dough. I took them home to compare. I thought Rokkatei might be the best, but the number one dorayaki turned out to be from Morimoto. This got me thinking about the artisan-made dorayaki sold in Chitose. Maybe that one is delicious too... I'm curious. When I checked Morimoto's website, I saw they now sell a new dorayaki made with special azuki beans called dorayaki nouveau. I wonder if they'll have it next time I visit. Curious, curious.

The Japanese-Western fusion treat, dorayaki, is delicious. Especially the dorayaki from Morimoto, which can be purchased at New Chitose Airport, is a delight. The fluffy dough is filled with a sweet and gentle aroma. The red bean paste is also delicious. Actually, the amount of red bean paste is quite generous and wonderful. The size is substantial, so one piece is enough to fill you up.

I bought this as a souvenir for myself at New Chitose Airport. It contains half chocolate and half white chocolate. The sweet and sour taste of the haskap jam? is strange when combined with the sweetness of the chocolate. I thought white chocolate would go well, but I actually preferred the chocolate side.

This is a souvenir from Hokkaido. It's a butter sablé from "Morimoto" called Hokuhukuro, shaped like the natural monument Blakiston's Fish Owl. I compared it with the pigeon sablé from "Toyoshimaya" that I had at home. The Hokkaido butter sablé has a strong taste of eggs. In contrast, the pigeon sablé has a stronger butter scent. In terms of texture, the Hokkaido butter sablé is slightly lighter. In terms of taste, both are equally delicious. It's just a matter of personal preference. Thank you for the meal.

I love dorayaki, and I discovered it at New Chitose Airport. It looked delicious, so I decided to try it for the first time and bought one to take away. When I got home and tried it, I was surprised by how delicious it was. I regretted not buying more. It was the best dorayaki I've ever had, with both the dough and red bean paste being incredibly tasty. It seems that you can only buy it at the Chitose main store, so I hope they also sell it at the airport.

I thought it was the best dorayaki in Japan. I've been hooked on dorayaki and have eaten many, but I think this dorayaki is the most delicious. I found out from an online news article that there was a limited-time, only available at the main store at New Chitose Airport dorayaki, so I visited around 10 a.m. However, even at that time, there were only 2 boxes left. I thought it was incredibly popular, and the staff kindly explained to me that there was twice as much red bean paste inside, that they couldn't mass-produce by hand, and that the expiration date was until the next day. As soon as I tried it, the skin was thin but chewy. It had a rich flavor that wasn't too sweet. The red bean paste was packed with whole beans, enhancing the deliciousness of the azuki beans. I even let someone who complained about preferring smooth red bean paste try it, and they were left speechless by the deliciousness and texture of the azuki beans, as well as how well it paired with the skin. I realized that when you eat something really delicious, you become quiet. This dorayaki is delicious. Everything is perfect. I definitely want to eat this dorayaki again. It's fantastic. I'm grateful that it's easily accessible for tourists.

When it comes to Morimoto, they are famous for cakes and bread, but at the New Chitose Airport store, they are focused on jelly and Haskap jewelry, with no cakes or bread available. I bought the famous confectionery "Haskap Jewelry" from Morimoto, but upon closer inspection, I found that there was a "New Chitose Airport Limited Edition Haskap Jewelry White Version" available. I had already purchased the regular version without realizing it. The regular Haskap Jewelry has a chocolate coating around the edges, but the airport limited edition has white chocolate instead. However, I don't think the limited version came in a 2-piece pack. The Haskap Jewelry White Version was priced at 1500 yen for 6 pieces and 2500 yen for 10 pieces. I bought the 2-piece pack for Valentine's Day. It was delicious!

I initially bought these as souvenirs, but the hotel fridge was too small so I decided to eat them in the room. I purchased a box of 5 Yukimushi soufflés and a limited edition box of 4 Strawberry Jewels, totaling 2160 yen. I used to always buy the Yukimushi soufflés at Hokkaido product exhibitions, and since the Strawberry Jewels were a limited-time item, I didn't hesitate to buy them. I haven't tried the original product, Haskap Jewels, yet. Now, let's try both. First, the Yukimushi soufflé. It's still delicious, with a subtle cheese flavor that's not overpowering. The texture is soft and fluffy, it literally melts in your mouth! It tasted even better since it's been a while. Next, the Strawberry Jewels. I thought the cookies would be hard since they're sandwiched in there, but they're actually soft! It's similar to the texture of Marseille butter cookies. The cream has a strawberry jam at the core that's not too sweet and has a hint of acidity. It really holds everything together. Being from the same city as New Chitose Airport, where the main store is located, you can really taste the local flavors. I'll have to buy the Haskap Jewels next time. Thank you for the meal.

I chose a unique Hokkaido confection as a souvenir for my first trip to Hokkaido in 3 years. It's called "Yukitsuru Haskap" and costs 173 yen. It features a cream with the flavor of haskap sandwiched between a base of biscuit. The pure white biscuit has a crunchy texture on the surface and a soft, fluffy texture inside, melting smoothly in the mouth. The haskap cream has a slightly tangy and sweet taste as expected.

At the local product fair, they didn't sell the strawberry from the northern walking path. I tried the caramel and haskap, but only had the strawberry jewelry. It was sweet and sour, and delicious. The jewelry was a bit expensive, a moist and cool cookie, with delicious sauce.

I didn't know this before, but when I heard "Morimoto," I always thought of pudding. I used to buy a variety of sweet and small breads in bulk at the local ion store, which I thought was Morimoto. I only just found out that the photo's sweets are actually Morimoto's signature works. Even though it's Morimoto, the website address is haskapp, which was a surprise to me. This time, I bought an assortment of two types of these sweets, and with each bite, I truly felt that they lived up to the name of the shop.

I received a souvenir from a friend who came back from Hokkaido. When I think of Hokkaido, I usually think of Royce, Rokkatei, and LeTao, but it seems like times have changed. I'm not a fan of berry flavors, but I enjoyed the slightly sour taste of the haskap berries.

New Chitose Airport's Morimoto. For some reason, I used it after a long time. I remember getting hooked on Morimoto's tomato jelly a while back and buying quite a lot. As a souvenir for my friends, I bought tomato jelly and haskap jelly, including my own portion. Although cup-shaped containers may be more authentic as products, they are bulky to carry around, so I bought the thinner type. I chilled them and ate them, of course, and they were delicious with the acidity and sweetness of tomatoes, and the slight bitterness and sweetness of haskap. I remember there used to be a tomato jelly made with fangoh, which was rich and delicious. I wonder if they still have it? I'll check it out next time I have the chance to go again~

Haskap Jewelry (10 pieces) 2500 yen ★ Delicious ◎ Very tasty ○ Average △ Hmm... Overall, it was a cake cookie made with delicious jam and chocolate that has a refreshing sweet and sour taste. This seems to be a long-selling product from Morimoto-san, and it was my first time trying it. It has a moderate sweetness and the acidity of the haskap jam stands out, making it easy to eat without feeling heavy. The size is not too big, and it uses haskap from Hokkaido, making it a perfect souvenir. Thank you for the delicious treat!

The cake that seemed like a premium souvenir option had a good balance of acidity and sweetness. This time, I purchased a product that was even more appealing than the popular "Yukizuru" souvenir from Chitose City, where the airport is located. The item I bought was the Haskap Jewelry (2 pieces for 500 yen including tax). When I unwrapped the packaging, the outer texture of the cake was quite soft. I initially thought it was a thick cookie based on the photos, but it was more like a sponge cake. As I took a bite, the Haskap filling inside was revealed. The sweetness of the cake seemed to enhance the acidity of the Haskap, creating a well-balanced flavor. Just like with Sanpuroku, I couldn't buy it as a souvenir due to budget constraints, but I really wanted to take it home, similar to how one feels when seeing pets that can't be kept at a pet shop (an example to express strong desire). This item is a potential souvenir option, a mini cake with a good balance of sweetness and acidity from Haskap. Thank you for the meal.
