One of the few Sapporo-only bakery chains, Donguri has 10 locations throughout the city and is a busy, well-stocked bakery with quite a few unique treats, though not every location (I came across two) have the exact same items available.
Amid all the standard bakery fare like red bean and melon pan, there were two oversized muffin-shaped creations that caught my eye: one in chocolate and the other in cinnamon. I took the giant cinnamon one (183 yen). At first glance in store, it didn't look like anything special except for its size - for Japanese standards it was quite large. But when it was time to dig in, I noticed with excitement that the dough was slightly flaky, pastry-like, with layers of moist dough and cinnamon. The highlight, however, was the top, with its crunchy outer layer coated in icing and dotted with nuts (there were also a few inside). I really didn't expect this to be as good as it was; it was one of the best baked goods I had in Sapporo!
