#JapanTravel #Otaru #Kitakaro #OtaruTravel #HokkaidoTravel 🧡 Recommended cute Otaru cafe with pretty orange signboard 🧡 📍Kitakaro Otaru Main Store: 7-22 Sakaimachi, Otaru, Hokkaido 047-0027 Japan 📍Opening hours: 10:00~18:00 🧁 I'd like to introduce you to the cream puff pastry cafe 'Kitakaro Otaru Main Store' located in the Otaru shopping street next to the Otaru Canal with its eye-catching orange branding~! 🧡 Otaru is famous for LeTAO, but Kitakaro also uses rich Hokkaido milk to make delicious and high-quality cream puffs~! I recommend you stop by Kitakaro Otaru Main Store to try the cream puffs with a milky flavor! 🌟

Kitakaro, recommended as a must-try dessert course in Otaru! Kitakaro's signature dessert is Baumkuchen, a German-style cake with a castella texture that melts in your mouth. It was already famous, but it became even more famous after being featured on Tokpawon 25 Hours! It's right next to the Le Tao main store, so it's a good idea to visit together. The set is good, but they also sell them individually so you can taste them right there. The price is 170 yen! Baumkuchen is the signature, but they also sell other desserts that are good for souvenirs. If you are taking it to Korea, There are Kitakaro stores at Sapporo Station and the airport, so you don't have to go through the trouble of buying it in Otaru and carrying it around:) (Tax-free available) 📍Kitakaro Otaru Store 7-22 Sakaimachi, Otaru, Hokkaido 047-0027 Japan Every day 10:00 - 18:00 #JapanTravel #Otaru #HotPlace #Baumkuchen #OtaruRestaurant #OtaruDessert #DessertRestaurant #Kitakaro #HokkaidoTravel

When you come to Sakaimachi Street in Otaru, Hokkaido, you will definitely see the obvious building of "Kitakaro" This is a revitalized and reused old building, and is the main building of Beiguo Building. One of the most famous products is the fresh cream puff, a delicious dessert that you cannot miss when shopping in Otaru. #Valentine's Day Destinations #familytravel #FoodTravel #Otaru #Hokkaido

I love cream puffs, especially those that are big with a nice golden brown choux puff and filled with a nice creamy and milky cream that is not too clotting. Where do you find such cream puffs? It is not a secret but you can definitely find the above described cream puff at Kitakaro confectionary shop in Otaru Hokkaido, Japan. For people who likes sweet stuff like me, this place is like a dream come true. Expect to find items like their famous cream puffs, soft serve, cakes, biscuits, and drinks which they all make perfect afternoon tea treats. Trust me, I was the happiest girl when I got their cream puffs. It was love on first bite! You could try their other snacks too and everything was worth the calories. #afternoontea

#CanadaFlightEvent There are so many famous dessert shops in Otaru, It's fun to go in and try them one by one. Kitakaro is famous for its Baumkuchen, a type of naite bread. It's moist and soft, so it's delicious with coffee or milk! They are sold individually and in boxes. I only tried them individually.

#DomesticTravelTactics I went on a food-filled trip, staying 2 nights in Sapporo and 1 night in Otaru. #Hokkaido #HokkaidoTrip #Sapporo #Otaru

Kitakaro is one of the must go shop along the Sakaimachi street in Otaru. They are well known for their cream puff...it is light and fluffy on the outside, and filled with generous amount of delicious fresh milk custard cream. Although there is a queue, it moves pretty fast. You can try the soft serve too though I will recommend the original puff more! #cherryblossom2024
