NATURAL LAWSON "Anko Gippelli
The Anko Giffelli introduced here is the No. 1 most popular baked bread product in the store. The savory croissant is filled with bean paste and topped with keshi only. The price is 173 yen (tax included).
The croissant is crispy on the surface and chewy on the inside. The more you bite into the croissant, the richer and more fragrant the butter becomes, and the less sweet the bean paste becomes. It's a taste you'll want to keep forever. The savory poppy seeds add to the richness of the flavor.
If you are lucky, you can find them freshly baked at the store, but if they have cooled down, I recommend lightly rebaking them in a toaster. The buttery flavor will stand out and the sweetness of the warmed bean jam will melt away. Enjoy it for breakfast or as a snack with a cup of coffee.
