Japan - Day 3 - Kinotoya Bake

Saturday, October 15, 2016   Sapporo, Hokkaido

We had a little time to spare after checking into our hotel in Sapporo before we needed to meet for dinner so we decided to try and venture the labyrinth of the JR Sapporo Station to find Kinotoya Bake. I had read about Bake's cheese tart on Kat's blog post here

Armed with a map and info provided by a sweet girl at an Information Booth on the basement level of the station, we were able to find it.

I was so stoked to be standing in front of these tarts.

The texture and taste were beyond delicious . . . the filling so smooth and creamy with the perfect amount of cheesiness . . . the crust not really flaky but more like a cookie. I loooooved it. I only regret that it wasn't possible to bring some home to share. I hope that someday you will get to try it.

Here are the directions coming from the Daimaru Department Store. We started from the basement level (star), went up the stairs to the first floor, turned right at a huge souvenir shop with a big Kiosk sign, went through a narrow alleyway with lockers on both sides and BINGO!

I dreaded the loooooong flight, but Cleta bought us identical "Draw Things" books, and we killed time by drawing. Cleta's is on the top. Look at my String Quartet . . . so funny. I just couldn't figure out the poses. Took me so long just to do stickmen.

Dinner was a thumbs down although the potato salad was not bad.

The cookie was really good.

We arrived at Chitose Airport at around 5:00 p.m. Japan time and had to wait a bit for our luggage.

Our hotel was conveniently located within the airport terminal so after we dropped off our suitcases we went back out again for some quick shopping and to pick up food for dinner. 

I got a little trinket from this store.

I previously talked about Kinotoya custard tarts here

They are the best custard tarts!

Last year I bought an apple tart from Ringo in Ikebukuro, just to try. Me and my three sisters shared it. It was so ono.

I was so happy to see it again.
