Donk's "Gallet des Rois"
"King's sweets" to celebrate the New Year

At the bakeries "Donq" and "Joan", the traditional French confectionery "Gallet des Rois" to celebrate the New Year will be on sale. Limited time offer from December 27, 2018 to January 15, 2019.

Galette des Rois is a name that means "King's sweets" and is baked with a fève (bonus) such as a pottery doll inside the cake. The way to enjoy France is that the person who finds the bonus when carving it wears a paper crown and becomes the king (princess) for the day. In addition, there is a luck that he will be blessed with good luck for the next year.

Donk, Joan's Galette des Rois puts a moist, flavorful almond cream in a crispy puff pastry, and instead of fève, spreads a grain of unspoiled almonds. A pottery fève is also included, with a paper crown.

In addition, "Donq Osaka Takashimaya store", "Ginza Johan store" and "Nihonbashi Johan store" are limited to 3 stores, and "Premium Galette des Rois" will also be sold in limited quantities from December 27th. This is a special method of wrapping the dough in butter and folding it, wrapping pistachio and almond cream inside, and adding griot (a kind of cherry) as an accent. You can enjoy the contrast between sweetness and acidity.
