Japanese souvenir / snacks 2013/9/26 21:46
Can anyone advise where can I buy below products in Tokyo city or Narita Airport?

1) Rokkatei (˜Z‰Ô’à) biscuits
2) Kitakaro ‚Í‚Ü‚È‚·‚Ì—ö (Similar to Shiroi Koibito's White Chocolate)

I know some of these are based/manufactured in Hokkiado or some other cities, but I am hoping they are sold in Tokyo or Narita Aiport like Shiroi Koibito.

Many thanks

both sweets are not sold daily in Tokyo nor Narita airport, only available at Hokkaido fair held limited term at department stores/supermarkets, thus they are popular sweets.

when do you want to buy them? it could be available at stores near you.
but you must carefully check the time they arrive from Hokkaido.

Excuse me.
I did not look at the schedule of you.
Rokkatei
Tokyo Takashimaya Department store
October 9- October15
Seibu Ikebukuro Department store
October 10th - October 15th
Tokyu Toyoko Department store
October 10th - October 15th
From the shop which I wrote a little while ago, kind to be sold may be less.
However, I think Marusei butter sand because it is a popular item, perhaps, to have sold.
Information for that day because not listed yet, when it comes close to that date, Kitakaro, please google translate the address of the home page of the original.

sorry about the time meaning...

as a department store runs Hokkaido fair limited term, some foods from Hokkaido will arrive late, because each day, foods are aired early in the morning from Hokkaido, they might arrive around lunch time(even though the store opens at 10:00), so I mean if you go to the store at 10:00, those sweets you are looking for may not be arrived yet, the department staff normally tell you when(the time) they arrive.
