Since Rokkatei was founded in 1933, fundamental policy has been to make delicious sweets, to establish and maintain stores that are a delight to shop in, to enrich people's lives, and to flourish. Embraced by the natural gift of the northern land of Hokkaido, they will continue to create sweets that deliver the sensations of seasonal blessings to our customers.
Their first best-selling product was the "Hitotsu-nabe" ("Shared Pot"), which came out in 1952.Named after a famous phrase composed by Benzo Yoda, the pioneering forefather of the Tokachi region, who said that "cultivating the land starts with pigs and one pot to share between us all, human and animal alike", these monaka wafer cakes are modeled in the shape of a cooking pot and was supplied to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the settlement of Obihiro.
Expressing respect for the history and landscape of Hokkaido and our forefathers is the concept of our product development, and it also became the starting point of Rokkatei as a company.
