新千歳空港の
ルタオショップで、美味しいと噂の
ドゥーブルフロマージュを買ってみた。冷凍品なので持ち歩いている間に溶けて自宅に着く頃にはちょうど良いという具合。
ベイクドクリームチーズとマスカルポーネのレアチーズが2層になっていて、なかなかのオイシさ。もうちょっと値段が安くても（もしくは大きくても）いいかな。札幌三越のルタオを覗いた時はオンラインショップでは扱っていない生ケーキがたくさんあってワクワクしたものの、結局は何も買わなかった。楽しみは次回までオアズケ。ルタオは全国のデパートでも時々出店しているみたいなので、食べたくなった人は
スケジュールを確認して足を運んでみては。ちなみにルタオとはフランス語で「小樽の親愛なる塔（Le Tour Amitie Otaru）」という意味。小樽を逆さまにしただけじゃないんだね。
I heard that
double fromage from
LeTAO (in Japanese) is tasty, so I bought it at Shin-Chitose Airport in Hokkaido. This cheese cake was frozen, it thawed on the journey and was ready to eat when I arrived at home. The
layers of baked cream cheese and mascarpone are a nice combination. It was tasty, but it could be a little bit cheaper (or bigger). When I saw the LeTAO shop at Mitsukoshi department store in Sapporo, there were lots of fresh cakes which are not available from their website. I was very tempted but I didn't buy any in the end. I'm looking forward to go to Sapporo again, it seems like LeTAO sometimes visits major department stores all over Japan, so check the
schedule (in Japanese) and try some cakes if you want. BTW, LeTAO is short for 'Le Tour Amitie Otaru' (Otaru is the city name in Hokkaido where they are based). I thought it was the place name read backwards in Japanese.
