Two crisp biscuits filled with butter cream, raisins and rum, made by Hokkaido confectioner Rokkatei since 1977. The Hokkaido souvenir buy and a Sapporo standard.
Marusei butter sandwich was created in 1977 by Obihiro confectioner Rokkatei, named after its founder Masao Tanaka's nickname Marusei. The biscuit-and-cream combination became the canonical Hokkaido souvenir over the next decade; Rokkatei sells more than 60 million sandwiches a year. The Maruyama shop in Sapporo opened in the 1990s and runs a second-floor cafe alongside the take-home counter, the only Sapporo location where you can drink whisked matcha with the sandwich.
