A classic souvenir from Hokkaido, "Marusei Butter Sandwich" from Rokkatei. Popular sweets with butter cream and raisins sandwiched in biscuits are often found at department stores and supermarkets.

Do you know this butter sand sister product "butter cake"? It was released in 2016 and was initially sold only in Hokkaido, but recently it was discovered at a supermarket event in Tokyo. When I looked it up, it came to be handled at Web shops such as Amazon and Rakuten.

Marusei Butter Cake

Marusei butter cake with a bright yellow package as a landmark. The one I bought was 670 yen (tax included) for 5 pieces. The shelf life is about one week.



The sponge dough with plenty of butter is egg-colored. Two pieces of chocolate ganache are sandwiched.


The sponge has a rich and fluffy texture of eggs. It is moist to the limit and melts gently when you eat it. It's like a steamed cake and it's like castella.


The chocolate ganache has a melting texture, rich sweetness, and a slight bitterness. Although it is a small amount, it has a large presence and adds depth to the overall taste.


Marusei butter cake with a taste that stands out because of its simplicity. You can enjoy a completely different charm from butter sand. Perfect for a nice souvenir! Please pick it up when you see it.
