Double Fromage in a cooler bag at gate time
LeTAO at New Chitose Airport leans hard into its Double Fromage cheesecake, with chilled travel packs built so the cake survives a domestic hop out of CTS. You’ll find it airside in the main Domestic terminal shopping zone, alongside other Hokkaido sweets brands. Pricing matches the Otaru flagship for the standard Double Fromage, according to reviewers, so you’re paying city retail, not duty‑free. Portions run small and per‑piece cost isn’t cheap, but it solves the “didn’t make it to Otaru” problem in one stop before security and boarding.
The counter usually carries whole cakes plus half‑size Double Fromage rounds that Japanese bloggers say they rarely see in small Sapporo shops. That half size matters if you’re flying solo or just trying to squeeze souvenirs into a 7 kg carry‑on limit. Expect neatly packed cookies, chocolates, and langue de chat tins around the main cakes, all in standard LeTAO blue boxes. Figure roughly 1,800–2,000 yen for a full cake and less for the half, in line with town shops.
One nice touch: staff routinely add ice packs to takeaway cakes at no extra charge, so they stay cold through a 2–3 hour domestic connection from CTS. Regulars in Hokkaido say they pre‑order by phone for airport pick‑up in busy seasons like Golden Week and New Year to dodge sell‑outs. Watch out for expectations of “airport discounts” here; Google reviews are clear that pricing is basically full retail. Tip: if you care about shape, ask how long the ice packs will last relative to your exact flight time before paying.
