Rokkatei

The History of Rokkatei

In 1933, Obihiro Sensyuan, which was Rokkatei’s original shop, was opened. It manufactured white chocolate for the first time in Japan in 1968. Thanks to this great achievement, 9 years later, Rokkatei was opened. Rokkatei was named after the snow with the wish to become a shop which represents Hokkaido. This affects the name of the confectionery like Yukiyakonko. 

Recommended product

There are many delicious products in Rokkatei. Among them, the most recommended is Marusei Butter Sand. Marusei Butter Sand puts cream which is made from white chocolate and raisins between two biscuits. It is very delicious and good for souvenirs of  Hokkaido. By the way, Marusei Butter Sand is my fathers' favorite sweet.

Cultural Activities

Rokkatei is a confectionery factory, but they work on some cultural activities such as an art museum, a library and a concert hall. In particular, I would like to introduce Seroi, which is a children's poetry magazine. In 1960, Seroi was published with elementary school and junior high school teachers’ help to make an opportunity of creating poetry for children. We can see Seroi on the internet for free. There is a lot of pretty poetry. It is very interesting and we are sometimes impressed.   

Make an Order Online

You can order Rokkatei’s pastries online, so even if you are in Okinawa prefecture, you can enjoy them. Not only Marusei Butter Sand, but also other sweets and original goods can be ordered. It is good to enjoy them by yourself, but Rokkatei’s confectionery is suitable as a gift. Because, as you can see, the wrapping paper is so cute and Rokkatei launches new products according to the season, so you can have a lot of sweets throughout the year.
