During my visit to Kinotoya Bake in Sapporo, I was amazed not only by the taste but also by the quality of the ingredients. The soft serve uses fresh Hokkaido milk, which gives it that rich, milky flavor without being overly sweet—truly refreshing and satisfying in every bite. Their cheese tarts are equally impressive, featuring a crunchy shell with a fluffy and airy filling that balances tangy and sweet flavors expertly. Additionally, I tried their warm apple pie, which was flaky and buttery with a luscious custard and sweet apple filling. It perfectly complemented the other treats and left me craving more. For anyone exploring Sapporo or the Hokkaido region, I highly recommend stopping by Kinotoya Bake Pole Town Store. It’s a fantastic spot to enjoy authentic local desserts that showcase the region’s dairy excellence. Plus, the prices are reasonable considering the quality—you get about $5 AUD for the soft serve and $3 AUD for the cheese tart. The experience felt like a delightful indulgence and something unique compared to standard ice cream shops. If you’re curious about calories, the soft serve and cheese tarts offer a balanced taste without the heavy sweetness, making them a delightful treat for those who appreciate creamy desserts that aren’t overwhelmingly sugary. It’s worth the visit whether you’re a local or a tourist seeking genuine Hokkaido flavors.
