Almost couldnโt find this super hidden cafe near ๐๐จ๐ซ๐ฒ๐จ๐ค๐๐ค๐ฎ ๐๐๐ซ๐ค in ๐๐๐ค๐จ๐๐๐ญ๐. The entrance is totally covered by tall bushes and easy to miss until you see people walking in ๐
Our orders ๐งพ ๐ ๐๐ซ๐๐ฆ๐ข๐ฎ๐ฆ ๐๐ (๐๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ค๐ข๐ง), ยฅ๐๐๐ ๐จ ๐๐๐ซ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐๐ข ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ง๐๐ฐ๐ข๐๐ก, ยฅ๐๐๐ ๐ซ ๐๐๐ง๐ณ๐๐ข, ยฅ๐๐๐
๐๐ซ๐๐ฆ๐ข๐ฎ๐ฆ ๐๐ (๐๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ค๐ข๐ง) - ๐๐๐๐ฌ๐จ๐ง๐๐ฅ ๐ Baked pumpkin cheesecake with red beans & diced pumpkins. Imo, the pumpkin flavour is stronger than the cheese here and I also wished the texture is โcreamierโ as it is kind of crumbly
๐๐๐ซ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐๐ข ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ง๐๐ฐ๐ข๐๐ก ๐จ Ice cream with white chocolate & raisins sandwiched between crispy biscuits. This is the ice cream version of their signature Marusei Butter Sandwich. A bit on the sweet side for me. The raisins are juicy and have a slight โalcoholicโ flavour to them
๐๐๐ง๐ณ๐๐ข ๐ซ Azuki red bean soup with sticky and chewy baked rice cakes. The red bean soup is a combination of sweet & salty unlike your regular red bean soup ๐
Also got their Marusei Butter Sandwich to try and the cookie is not as crispy as the ice cream version and the butter is not that sweet

ย ย ย Read moreReally enjoyed this place. The first thing you notice on the way in is that the entire building is behind some privacy trees, so once you get inside you really feel apart from the hustle of the neighborhood. My wife and I say down in the cafe half of the store for some fluffy pancakes and blueberry eclairs. Both were delicious and the service was great. The chairs and tables were cozy, but comfortable.
Next, we walked to the sales floor. Here is the number one reason you MUST visit this place. They sell individually wrapped products. It's a lot of the same stuff you see in other stores and at the same prices, but here you can buy just one and try it before you commit to the 5-10 pack of that treat you read about online and we're considering buying. We bought some single cookies and other treats and then knew we had to get some boxes before we left home. Really great. Service at the sales counter was also very...

Rokatei Goryokaku is one of the loveliest places to take a break when visiting Goryลkaku. The cafรฉ is bright, calm, and overlooks the peaceful streets around the park. Itโs the perfect stop after walking through the historic star-shaped fort.
The sweets here are excellent โ classic Rokatei quality. Their cream puffs, mochi, and Hokkaido butter-based pastries are all fresh, not overly sweet, and beautifully made. They also have seasonal desserts and limited items available only in the Hakodate area.
The shop section is great for picking up gifts, and the prices are very reasonable. Staff are polite and helpful, and the overall atmosphere feels very relaxed, almost like a small local tearoom.
A lovely spot to enjoy Hokkaido sweets, rest your feet, and take a quiet moment during your Goryลkaku visit. Highly...
