(6) Cafe Croissant

Are you looking for the famous “Cremia”? Cremia (クリミア) is a premium soft cream that everyone is literally craving for! It’s composed of 25% of Nama Cream, and milk with 12.5% fat. It’s heavenly delicious when you have it in a combination with the signature Langue De Chat styled cookie cone!!! It’s so good that I don’t really know how to describe that feeling in words! But, well, don’t take too much time taking pictures, since it melts so fast.

Actually, you can also get Cremia from the other parts of Japan, but it’s kinda rare in Hokkaido. In Sapporo, you can get it for ¥500 from the shop located in the basement floor of JR Sapporo station.
