AnBataSan – A Must-Buy Hokkaido Souvenir

What is AnBataSan?

AnBataSan (あんバタサン) is a popular confection produced by Ryugetsu, a long-established sweets maker from Tokachi in Hokkaido. Since its release in 2018, it has quickly become a must-buy Hokkaido souvenir, loved by both locals and tourists for its refined taste and charming presentation.

This sweet features a crispy sablé biscuit sandwich filled with a rich blend of Tokachi-grown red bean paste (anko) and Hokkaido butter cream. The biscuit itself contains a touch of natural salt from the Okhotsk region, giving the flavor a subtle balance of sweetness and savory depth.

Why It’s Perfect as a Souvenir

Authentic Hokkaido Flavor: Made with ingredients sourced from Hokkaido—azuki beans from Tokachi and fresh local butter.
Delicious Harmony: A perfect balance of mellow anko, creamy butter, and lightly salted biscuit.
Souvenir-Friendly: Individually wrapped for easy sharing with friends, family, or colleagues.
Special Packaging: The bottom of the package can be used as a message card, allowing you to add a personal touch when gifting. This thoughtful design makes AnBataSan not only delicious but also heartwarming.

Where to Buy

You can find AnBataSan at Ryugetsu stores in Hokkaido, major department stores, Sapporo Station souvenir shops, New Chitose Airport, and online through Ryugetsu’s official store. Because of its popularity, it often sells out—making it a sought-after souvenir for anyone visiting Sapporo.
