Western-style sweets Cakes

'Akai Silo,' also born in Kitami, is said to be what the members of LS Kitami, who shone in curling at the PyeongChang Winter Olympics, were eating during their 'mogu-mogu time' (snack break).
It is actually a remarkable sweet!

On the popular TV show 'Shiru Shiru Mishiru,' it was crowned the very first champion of the 'All-Japan Hidden Souvenir Sweets K-1 Grand Prix,' a great honor!
It has also been adopted as the tea-time sweet served in JAL's Super Seat.

'Akai Silo' is a cheesecake made with delicious, fresh Hokkaido milk.
As for the origin of the name...
A 'silo' is a brick building used to store hay.
They were once such a familiar sight in Hokkaido that they were considered one of its iconic features, but with the passage of time they were replaced by modern facilities, and today they are rarely seen.
Milk, the main ingredient of cheesecake, and the silo are inseparably linked.
Out of a desire to keep conveying the deliciousness of Hokkaido, the maker named this cheesecake confection 'Akai Silo' (Red Silo).

Hokkaido has many dairy-based sweets, but why not pick up an 'Akai Silo'?

What Japanese buyers say

The one reviewer, given this by a Kitami local, describes a small but dense, moist cheesecake with rich dairy flavor, a touch of salt, and a melting texture that might suit wine. The yellow box with a silo illustration is charmingly Hokkaido; the paper wrapper is said to be hard to peel off.
