Sapporo Travel: Souvenirs, Snacks & Gifts!

Wondering what and where to snag the best goodies?

Before hopping on your flight back home,

grab them at New Chitose Airport Duty-Free Shop!

and the prices are usually a little friendlier too, which is always a bonus!

Today, I'm sharing my personal, tried-and-true purchases – all bought with my own hard-earned cash!

my ultimate Sapporo Souvenir Shopping List

featuring 12 must-have items!

​

New Chitose Airport Duty-Free Souvenirs

My Top 12 Picks

​

①

LeTAO Fromage Double

LeTAO Double Fromage Cheesecake

This cheesecake is practically Otaru's signature dessert.

It's known for its incredibly smooth texture and rich, deep cheese flavor.

It literally melts in your mouth – seriously, it's heavenly!

Beyond the classic, you can also find flavors like chocolate and strawberry,

available for sampling and purchase at the duty-free shop.

Skip the hassle of buying it in Otaru and carrying it around all day.

Instead, grab it at the duty-free shop just before you board your flight!

②

白い恋人 (Shiroi Koibito)

Shiroi Koibito Cookies

These iconic Hokkaido souvenirs feature delicate chocolate sandwiched between crispy langue de chat cookies.

Seriously, everyone I know who visits Sapporo

comes back with these cookies! And for good reason – they're absolutely delicious! 😉

​

③

YOSHIMI 札幌おかき Oh! 焼とうきび

YOSHIMI Oh! Yakitoukibi Corn Crackers

​

These crunchy rice crackers are bursting with the rich flavor of Hokkaido corn.

Their perfect sweet and salty balance makes them an irresistible snack.

Even Yano Shiho raved about these on her YouTube channel!

If you're curious about the flavor profile,

grab a single bag at a convenience store or Don Quijote first.

Then, if you're hooked (and you probably will be!), pick up a big box at the duty-free shop!

④

Hokkaido Melon KitKat

​

The Yubari Melon, famed for its exquisite flavor, is a Hokkaido specialty.

It boasts a much richer taste and aroma than regular melons.

This regional-exclusive KitKat flavor makes for a fantastic gift!

You can also find other unique flavors like Matcha and Peach.

​

⑤

Glico PRETZ Pretzels

​

These long, stick-shaped pretzels are deliciously savory.

Go for the Hokkaido Butter or Corn flavors,

or grab a variety pack with small boxes of different flavors.

It's a great way to try them all!

⑥

Pocky Sticks

Pocky are essentially long, stick-shaped cookies, much like the ones you might know.

With flavors like Yubari Melon, Cherry, Kyoho Grape, Strawberry, Sweet Potato, and Matcha,

they incorporate special ingredients from different regions of Japan.

This makes them truly unique and excellent for gifting!

I personally picked up the Yubari Melon flavor,

and with 18 sticks per box,

they were perfect for sharing with colleagues!

⑦

じゃがポックル

Calbee Jaga Pokkuru

​

This iconic potato snack uses premium Hokkaido potatoes.

They're wonderfully crispy and savory, a crowd-pleaser that everyone loves.

I stocked up on the Original, Cheese, and Scallop flavors!

With individually portioned bags (like packs of 10 or 6) inside each box,

they're perfect for sharing as gifts or

keeping at home for a quick, delicious treat. Seriously, SO good!

If you're a fan of potato chips or crispy snacks, these are an absolute must-buy!

Before you go through departure procedures at New Chitose Airport,

there's a Calbee store in the domestic terminal too, but

the duty-free shop is about 89 JPY cheaper!

So it's much more convenient to buy several items here

all at once :)

​

⑧

Calbee Smoked Potato Chips

​

These are thick potato chips with an added smoky flavor.

Each box contains 3 bags.

The smokiness is insane... truly unique and delicious.

I highly recommend them, they're even great with whiskey!

⑨

Bocca Shiroi Pudding (Bocca Pudding)

This is a milk pudding that you eat by popping its balloon-like packaging.

It has a smooth, rich milk flavor and just melts in your mouth...

I was able to sample it and was genuinely surprised by how delicious it was.

​

⑩

ROYCE’ Chocolate Nama Chocolate

This is Hokkaido's representative Nama chocolate, famous for its

smooth, melt-in-your-mouth texture.

There's such a wide variety of flavors, it's fun just choosing!

With flavors like Milk Cocoa, Champagne, White Chocolate,

Cognac, Strawberry, Sakura Strawberry Cheese, Matcha, Ghana, and more,

there were so many options it was hard to choose, haha!

Each box contains 20 pieces, and the price is uniform at 1,125 JPY!

Just a heads-up, ROYCE' Nama Chocolate melts within 2 hours at room temperature,

so I recommend purchasing a cooler bag

with it!

You just need to add 100 JPY at checkout.

​

⑪

ROYCE’ Chocolate Bar

There are various flavors like Nutty, Matcha, Fruit Strawberry, and more.

They have a crunchy chocolate texture and are great for gifts!

Each box contains 6 bars and costs 900 JPY.

⑫

Hokkaido Soup Curry Base

​

This is a base that allows you to easily make Hokkaido-style soup curry

at home.

If you love cooking,

taking home ingredients like this is a great idea, haha!

Besides the soup curry base, they also sell ramen meal kits!

I bought a shrimp ramen meal kit here, haha!

Final Summary

While it's great to buy snacks and souvenirs at convenience stores, supermarkets, and Don Quijote during your Sapporo trip,

if it's difficult due to your itinerary or you find carrying your luggage troublesome, head to the New Chitose Airport duty-free shop!

The duty-free shopping bags are super sturdy.

I also bought a ton of snacks here, primarily.

Especially the Calbee potato snacks... I feel like I made a really good purchase.

They're so delicious, and because they're individually packed,

it was great to buy various flavors!

The place I visited was the

New Chitose Airport North Duty-Free Shop.

Good news for early birds and late shoppers! They're open daily from 8 AM to 8 PM.
