🎌 Samsung YOITOMAKE

The long rectangular honey cake is coated with a layer of blueberry jam and has been a beloved Hokkaido specialty called "YOITOMAKE" since its launch in 1953 (Showa 28). The ancient native blueberries from Hokkaido are small, dark purple fruits known for their bold tartness and rich nutrition. The honey cake, made with carefully selected Hokkaido eggs and sugar, features both an inner and outer layer coated with blueberry jam that is simmered over low heat. This creates a perfect balance of sweetness and tartness, making it an excellent pairing with coffee, black tea, or cold milk. It is available as a whole piece or in convenient individually packaged slices, making it an ideal gift choice. The manufacturer of "YOITOMAKE," "Mitsuboshi," also offers a variety of products including "Haslak Land" chiffon cake, "Nanakamado" Baumkuchen, and a range of blueberry jams such as jellies and yokan. These can be purchased at their main store in Tomakomai, directly operated stores in Tomakomai city, and at lifestyle cooperatives in Tomakomai and Sapporo, which feature a bakery, café, and takeout area.
