Before my trip to Hokkaido, I tried to find if there is any blog to recommend about the must buy souvenirs, must eat or buy food etc in Hokkaido and I rarely can find one that really explains all..so hopefully this post able to help those to prepare their pocket expenses budget for souvenirs and must try foodies too.
So, let me start with my part 1 version of my shopping haul..
So, let me start with my part 1 version of my shopping haul..
1. Shiroi Koibito Biscuits
Shiroi Koibito in English, or at least on the package, says White Lover. Literally. I’ve been calling them the White Lover Cookies. I think the White, stand for white chocolate. Shiroi Boibito is
basically a square cookie sandwich with 2 very thin crispy cookies with a
slice of soft white chocolate in between. The white chocolate kind of
looks like cheese.
These cookies are really yummy. The thin crispy cookies has a strong
vanilla flavor. The chocolate inside is always soft, smooth, and it’s
just melts in your mouth. The cookies looks very simple, and it looks
like how it would taste. It’s pretty brilliant.

Where to get: Most of the souvenir shops in Hokkaido. If you are in Tokyo, it's available at the Tokyo International Airport.

2. Strawberry Chocolate Ball by Rokkatei
Available in white or black chocolate ball, with a strawberry inside. A little bit sour taste of the strawberry then serve with the sweet chocolate is a perfect match.
Rokkatei (六花亭) is one of the most popular sweets house in Hokkaido （北海道), the north land. Dairy products are specialities of the region and sweets with cream, butter from Hokkaido must be good quality ones.

4. LeTao Chocolate

| Nicely wrapped chocolates by LeTao. Japanese customer service really have top notch quality. They even give free 2 red bean buns! And inside they also provide cooling gel pack to ensure the chocos are won't melt! (Note: Suggest you keep the cooling gel pack in the fridge and dun throw it. You can use it to cool your forehead when fever) |

Where to get: Otaru Handicraft Street
5. Snaffles Cheesecake
Snaffles’s cheesecakes are light as a feather. One detail that I like about Snaffles is that they come in small
little rounds. Each little piece is around two bite sizes and perfect
for those who want a taste, but don’t want to over eat. It also lets you
have a bit of each flavour without feeling overly guilty. Yes, I used
that excuse. Oh, if you get a box of Snaffles be sure to open it right away and
eat it. They have a very short lifespan and need to be refrigerated.
