Do You Know the Long-Established Store "Ryugetsu" in Hokkaido?

In Hokkaido, there are many specialty stores that create delicious food utilizing the blessings of the northern land.

Among the sweets battle zone, do you know the particularly popular confectionery shop called "Ryugetsu"?

Ryugetsu is a long-established store that was founded shortly after World War II in 1947.

It started in Obihiro, Hokkaido, and now it has grown to be a very large store with 42 directly managed stores throughout the region.

The Signature Product is the Birch Baumkuchen "Sanporo-ku"♡

Speaking of Ryugetsu's signature product, it's the Birch wood log-shaped Baumkuchen "Sanporo-ku"＊

Many brides may say, "I know that! I've actually tasted it!"

That's no surprise since Sanporo-ku has even won the Grand Gold Award at the 27th World Confectionery Expo Monde Selection in Showa 63.

Its deliciousness is recognized worldwide. It is widely loved as a confectionery from Hokkaido, becoming a global treasure♡

Sanporo-ku is a Baumkuchen that looks like a piece of firewood, expressed with white and milk chocolate layered over a cake!

The taste is moist and sweet, with a rich melt-in-your-mouth texture that everyone loves♡

Recommended Wedding Sweets ① "Sanporo-ku Koi Shiro♡ Kowari Wedding"

The first recommendation is the wedding version of Ryugetsu's representative product "Sanporo-ku," named "Sanporo-ku Koi Shiro♡ Kowari Wedding"＊

While regular Sanporo-ku is coated with white and milk chocolate, this version is a pure white wedding treat made with milk-flavored Baumkuchen covered in white chocolate, creating a special flavor♡

The box features a cute pink and white design＊

The overall look is perfect for a bridal gift♡

This "Sanporo-ku Koi Shiro♡ Kowari Wedding" has four meanings related to marriage embedded in it.

1: The packaging and the candy are predominantly white because white epitomizes the image of marriage = pure white♡

2: The "birch" pattern of Sanporo-ku is considered a lucky item that brings happiness in Northern Europe＊

3: The "Koi Shiro♡ Kowari" small piece symbolizes breaking = increasing. It reflects the hope that a family and happiness will grow from now on♩

4: Since there are 8 pieces in one box, it represents "eight," which is a lucky number!

Each element brings a blessing for happiness＊

The price is 1,300 yen for 8 pieces.

The upper layer of white chocolate features a crunchy, sparkling topping, while the bottom is soft and moist, offering a gentle sweetness with the milk-flavored Baumkuchen♩
