Recently, I've come to see a lot of sweets with "rum raisins" at convenience stores and supermarkets. Especially chocolate with rum raisins is perfect for winter snacks.

But! It's not chocolate that I definitely recommend, though I'm afraid ... Bourbon's "Gateau Raison"! Have you eaten? This is a petit plastic candy, but isn't it really delicious ...?

Bourbon "Gateau Raison"

Gateau raisins are raisins that have been carefully soaked in rum, sprinkled in whipped cream, and sandwiched between two soft cookies. Five pieces are included in one pack, and the purchase price this time is 145 yen (tax included).




A visual reminiscent of Rokkatei's "Marusei Butter Sandwich". The cream with rum raisins is sandwiched with cookies (biscuits), which is similar in composition.

Gateau raisins When I try to eat ...

As I said earlier, it's insanely delicious. The moment you bite, the rum scents softly. The cookie is soft and fluffy, and has a texture that is somewhere between the cookie and Busse. It will be moisturized with the aroma of butter.


The whipped cream is smooth on the palate. The sweetness of the raisins and the richness of the mellow milk envelop the sweet and sour juice of the raisins. Juicy enough to chew, the balance of sweetness and acidity is exquisite! Rum is also a strong taste for adults (alcohol content 1.2%).


When I tried it, it tasted completely different from Marusei butter sand, but this is very delicious. I'm glad that you can easily buy it at the supermarket. For rum raisin lovers, it will be an indispensable part of snack time.
