Hokkaido "限定" Snacks

Everyone knows that Hokkaido has many popular snacks or tidbits. As the saying goes: A picture speaks a thousand words. Enjoy the pictures of various snacks offered by Hokkaido. 

Potato Farm - this is Ms K's favourite snack. Famous for it's potato strips which is super crunchy but still retains the potato flavour. (10 packs per box - JPY840)

This is a new product of Potato Farm called "Imoko to kobutaro"(いも子とこぶ太郎). Instead of potato strips, it made into a normal potato chip shape and mixed with seeweed. The potato chip represents "Imoko"(いも子) and seeweed represents "kobotaro"(こぶ太郎) (4 packs per box - JPY420)

Besides potato, Hokkaido is also famous for it's corn produce. Many snacks are made from corn as well, like this Yaki Toukibi, a bite size corn snack. (10 packs per box - JPY630)

Another popular corn snack from Hokkaido is Collet - a corn chocolate sandwiched between rye biscuit. (6 in a box - JPY690)

Not forgetting the ever popular Hori Corn Chocolate, an all time favourite gift "omiyage" to buy back when visiting Hokkaido.
(10 for JPY350 / 16 for JPY700 / 28 for JPY1100)

Shiroi-Koibito (白い恋人) and Royce - these 2 brands need no further elaboration as everybody knows about them. 

Although the Shiroi-koibito white chocolate can be easily found at Japan airports, but not their chocolate drink! (JPY210) 

I also bought the Pote Goma Cookies from Royce, a black sesame biscuit coated with thick chocolate. (15 for JPY525)

L wanted to buy this - a Sapporo milk cookie which has received a gold award in the Monde Selection for 3 consecutive years (2008-2010). A crispy biscuit with a light milk and buttery flavour.  (12 for JPY525)

Another brand which apparently is also quite popular is called "Rokkatei" or 六花亭. 

Using these 6 flower patterns in all their wrappings, people can easily recognize their branding even from far away. Did you know that Rokkatei is also the first sweets maker who produced the white chocolate in Japan. 

Some other potato snacks - Hokkaido Jyagaki. Seems like the Japanese like to coat their snacks with chocolate!

Pocky and Pretz - these sticks are ever so popular in Japan. And the makers can come up with any type of flavour - like the melon flavoured Pocky and Salmon / Corn flavour Pretz. 

Remember eating Collon in your childhood days? But there was only cream, chocolate or strawberry flavour during those days. Buy hey you can get a Camemberu cheese flavour now!

Kinoko no Yama - another chocolate snack produced in Japan. How about something special like the Azuki milk flavour? 

There are simply too many snacks in Hokkaido to cover all of them... Do remember to buy a few when you visit Hokkaido!
