Galette des Rois (

Pithiviers

) Galette des Rois is an indispensable pastry for New Year celebrations in France. Called the king's pastry, it is generally made of pie dough with a ceramic decoration called a fève inside, and it is said that the person who is cut into pieces will receive blessings and spend the year happily.

KINOKUNIYA's "Galette des Rois" is a small, edible size. It is a simple but rich taste with layers of crispy round pie crust, filled with homemade almond cream with a rich buttery aroma. The pie crust is filled with drench cherries instead of china (china is optional).

The fun part of the "Galette des Rois" lies not only in eating it, but also in collecting the various types of "faves." This year, several types of favors in the shapes of animals, bread, and people are available.

Priced at ¥648 (tax included), they will be available at KINOKUNIYA stores until January 31, 2023.
