The shop building houses the only “LeTAO” bakery, where you can purchase specialty breads unique to a confectionery shop—including the popular “Dremo Fluffy Fresh Bread,” made with camellia yeast cultivated using birch sap, LeTAO’s special fresh cream, and Hokkaido milk, resulting in a light and fluffy texture.In addition to bread, the shop sells cakes, chocolates, and baked goods, making it a great spot for selecting souvenirs.

nanairo

A patisserie loved by locals

The cake store blends in with the residential area. The store is filled with colorful cakes, macaroons, jellies, baked goods, and more. The most popular item is the "Tomatama Purin. Tomatama" are eggs from chickens raised on Chitose tomatoes, which are rich in carotene and low in fat and calories. The pudding using these eggs is not only healthy for the body, but is also popular for its smooth texture.
Another popular product is "Baked Cheese," a crispy pie cake baked with Hokkaido eggs, cheese, and milk. Both are classic sweets that locals keep coming back to buy.

Soft ice cream and smoothies made in the store are also popular

With the philosophy of “serving items as fresh as possible,” some sweets are made right on the spot. For the cream puffs, they fill the crispy choux pastry shells with lightly sweetened cream after you place your order. They also sell beverages, such as smoothies made with locally grown vegetables and fruits. In the summer, many customers visit specifically to enjoy the soft-serve ice cream.
This shop is so beloved by local regulars that there are even days when the display case is completely empty by evening.

Chitose City is said to have been named after the legend "Cranes live for a thousand years" because cranes used to be abundant in the area. The famous confectionery "Yukitsuru" was invented in the image of cranes landing on the ground.

tanakaya

Directly operated by an an (red bean paste) manufacturing company, the red bean paste is delicious!

This is a taiyaki shop directly operated by Tanaka Seian (Headquarters: Tokyo), which has a factory in Chitose City. Their pride and joy is, without a doubt, the red bean paste. Made with Hokkaido adzuki beans and sugar, the paste has a light, subtle sweetness that pairs perfectly with the crisp, light, thin crust.In addition to the plain Ogura an, there are five varieties in total, including low-sugar Ogura an, koshi-an, and cream. The filling menu changes with the seasons, and a total of six types of taiyaki are available for purchase.

*Cash only

The summer-only "cold taiyaki" and "iced taiyaki" are also popular!

In the summer, the “Chilled Taiyaki”—featuring a chewy dough made with tapioca flour and filled with whipped koshi-an or whipped custard—is a popular choice. We also recommend the “Ice Taiyaki,” which is a frozen version of this treat. In addition to classics like Ogura and cream, there’s a wide variety of flavors, including cheese and low-sugar Ogura, and seasonal limited-edition flavors are occasionally introduced.
These taiyaki, featuring a fragrant, crispy crust and generously filled with the signature red bean paste unique to Tanaka Seian’s directly operated stores, make a delightful gift.
