Butter sandwiches" can be found in a variety of places, from famous confectionary stores to convenience stores. We would like to introduce "Fukuju Butter Cream Sandwich," which combines this popular sweet with sake.

Fukuju Butter Cream Sandwich

The "Fukuju Butter Cream Sandwich" is a collaboration between the long-established Hyogo sake shop "Kobe Shuushinkan" and "Kobe Yogeisakka Bokusan". A soft cookie sandwiched between butter cream made with Fukuju's pure rice sake "Mikagego" and sake lees. 5 pieces are available for purchase for 1,250 yen (tax included).


Fukuju" is printed not only on the package but also on the cookies. From the moment the bag is opened, an elegant sweet aroma wafts through the air.

The cookies are soft and chewy, and the cream is smooth. The aroma of wheat is combined with the deep richness of butter. Then, the mellow aroma that wafts through the air. The deep flavor and sweetness like amazake made with sake lees fills your mouth. The sake flavor is not overpowered by the butter, and as a sake lover, I am delighted.


When I ate it, I thought it was raisins sandwiched with cream, but I was a little surprised to find that the texture was very soft and chewy. It turns out to be Tanba black soybeans boiled in soy sauce. Combined with the sake, it gives the dish a strong "Japanese" flavor. It was a good decision to add the black beans.


You can enjoy the rich flavor of sake in the Fukuju Buttercream Sandwich. It is a perfect gift for those who love sake.
