Sweet tooth or looking for a nice gift? Chocolatier Masále could be the store for you. The chocolate store was originally created in 1988. At that time there were very few confectionary stores that specialized in delicious chocolate. Hokkaido, having a similar climate to Europe, was the perfect spot to start creating some delicious sweets. Chocolatier Masále uses forty to fifty kinds of carefully selected high quality chocolates from around the world! Fresh dairy products from Hokkaido are also to create their wares. Their chocolates are handmade and designed to appeal to the eyes as well as the tastebuds!

There is one main Chocolatier Masále in the city of Sapporo which acts as the main store and cafe, plus there are two other stores which operate as the main retailers. These two stores can be found in central Sapporo, with one being found in Paseo West at Sapporo station. The other store can be found in the Mitsukoshi department store which is right by Odori Park. All stores sell a variety of beautifully presented cakes and chocolates. There are also boxed chocolates plus pastries. At the main store there is a place to sit down and enjoy a coffee with your sweets!

In Sapporo, in the entertainment district of Susukino there is a cozy little restaurant that has a menu full of delicious dishes! The term ‘Dosanko’ is used for people born and raised in Hokkaido. The restaurant is quite small so it is not always easy to get a seat (especially for groups). It is run by two ‘dosanko’ staff who are very friendly and take a real pride in their food. For such a small restaurant, they really pack an extensive menu that will please any guest. The dishes are predominantly Italian, though they do have some French and Spanish thrown in for good measure.

They serve up a mouth watering Chicken Genovese pizza. The drink menu has some delicious wines as well as beer, whiskey, spirits and non-alcoholic drinks. Dosanko Dining is a top spot for a date, or for small groups up to four where you can sip in some nice wine and enjoy a fantastic meal!
