BLUE POND, the only caramel milk sweets specialty store in the world, opened on Wednesday, October 8, 2025. This marks the birth of a new specialty at the Daimaru Sapporo store, which is known for its collection of popular sweets.

What kind of shop is "BLUE POND"?

Daimaru Sapporo store basement floor 1 "BLUE POND"

BLUE POND opened on the basement floor of the Daimaru Sapporo store, directly in front of the escalator. It is a caramel milk sweets specialty store that offers two products: the "New Texture Caramel Milk Sandwich" and the "New Sensation Caramel Cheesecake."

"Caramel Crispy" and "Pistachio Caramel Crispy"

The product was supervised by two specialists: Machimura Farm, a dairy pioneer with over 100 years of history, and Calm Tsunoyama, a company pioneering the future of dairy farming with cutting-edge technology. By combining ingredients such as high-quality raw milk and butter grown in Hokkaido's fertile soil with the skills and knowledge of experts, the sweets are a condensed version of the history and future of Hokkaido's dairy farming.

A striking blue display

It's a brand that was just launched, and there is only one store in the world, so it has a special feel to it.

Classic "Caramel Crispy" 4 pieces for 993 yen

Their signature product, "Caramel Crispy," can be stored at room temperature and is perfect as a souvenir or gift. It has a crunchy, fluffy, and creamy texture. Caramel sauce made from Hokkaido raw milk is wrapped in fluffy Hokkaido white chocolate and coated with a crispy caramel fondant. The outer crispy dough is made with butter from Machimura Farm in Ebetsu City, a farm with over 100 years of history.

The store display is cute too!

When you actually try it, the four layers - crunchy, crispy, fluffy, and creamy - come flooding in one after the other. As it melts softly in your mouth, you can really taste the rich flavor of caramel and dairy products.

[Seasonal Limited Edition] Pistachio Caramel Crispy is also available!

"Pistachio Caramel Crispy" 4 pieces for 1,080 yen

Also check out the "Pistachio Caramel Crispy," a limited-edition product for autumn and winter! It uses rich pistachio caramel sauce and pistachio caramel fondant. Its soft, rich green color gives it an autumn and winter feel. The pistachio flavor spreads softly in your mouth as it melts smoothly. It's a rich, seasonal flavor that's perfect for autumn and winter.

If you want to try both, the assortment is convenient.

There are also assorted sets that allow you to enjoy both standard and seasonal items, making them perfect gifts for the coming season.

A new type of caramel cheesecake: Blue Pond Caramel Fromage

The striking blue "Blue Pond Caramel Fromage" comes in a set of two for 1,404 yen.

Blue Pond Caramel Fromage is a new type of caramel cheesecake coated in glossy jelly. Its beautiful, clear blue color is reminiscent of the beautiful lakes and ponds of Hokkaido, such as the Blue Pond in Biei and Lake Onneto in Ashoro.

Boxed with dividers

The transparent exterior is made of water jelly made from "Yuki no Mizu" (snow water) from Mount Daisetsu in Hokkaido. The inside is a cheese mousse cake made with organic milk from the Calm Kakuyama Group, with a rich caramel sauce made with Hokkaido butter hidden inside. The bottom is made of a crunchy, crispy dough made with Hokkaido butter from Machimura Farm. It's just delicious!

The actual product is even more transparent and beautiful than the sample!

After enjoying the beautiful, glossy and transparent appearance for a while, it was time to try it. The cheese mousse was refreshing with a slight tartness. The rich caramel sauce added depth to the flavor, and the crispy crust with its buttery flavor was just the right accent.

The bright blue exterior is refreshing, like the sky or water.

Since these are fresh sweets, we recommend bringing a cooler bag with you when you go shopping. They are great for home use, or as a souvenir when visiting friends or family. They are sold twice a day, from 10:00 and 17:00. Each person is limited to two boxes.

"BLUE POND" is likely to become a new specialty at Daimaru's basement Hoppe Town!

On the first day of opening, there was already a line at 8:30am!

By the way, on the first day of release, when the product was still relatively unknown, and even more than an hour before opening, there was already a line of customers waiting to buy BLUE POND sweets at the basement entrance. There were also television cameras present, which shows how much attention the product has received.

BLUE POND was born from a collaboration between Gravestone Co., Ltd., the company behind many popular sweets such as "Tokyo Banana," "Nenrin-ya," and "Sugar Butter Tree," and Daimaru Matsuzakaya Department Stores Co., Ltd. Apparently inspired by the stunning blue scenery of Hokkaido's many beautiful lakes, this dessert is sure to become a new specialty at Hoppe Town, the basement floor of the Daimaru Sapporo store, which is packed with popular sweets.

The transparent packaging is also stylish

It's novel, delicious, and uniquely Hokkaido! Be sure to try this new sweet, which also makes a great souvenir from Hokkaido.
