Amato

Opened in 1929, this long-standing cake shop began business as a restaurant and shop selling the Otaru specialty of panju, a mix of bread and manju (a bun with bean-jam filling). Now the shop specializes in selling cookies, creme caramel, baumkuchen (a German variety of cake) and other kinds of confectionary. Its signature product is the baked Marron Coron, famous also as a sweet from Hokkaido. In the cafe area on the second floor are wine red sofas where you can sit back and enjoy the fine sweets such as the popular cream zenzai (sweet red bean soup with ice cream), cakes and parfait all in the retro style surroundings of the Showa period. The nearest station is Otaru Station.
