"Butter-Perfumed 'Kintsuba Biscuit': A Perfect Gift with a Distinctive Mizuhiki Package"

A Japanese Sweet Loved by All Ages: Kintsuba

Do you like kintsuba?

Kintsuba is a traditional Japanese sweet made by combining sweet red bean paste with agar and wrapping it in a thin wheat flour skin.

It pairs well with Japanese tea, so when you're looking to take a break with a warm cup of tea, having kintsuba around makes you happy.

However…

Due to its less flashy appearance compared to other sweets (though that subtlety is also endearing!), it is rarely considered for gifts or as party favors.

I Found a Stylish Kintsuba ♡

But wait!

There seems to be a stylish and photogenic kintsuba that completely changes its image.

Here it is.

It’s a sweet called 'Kintsuba Biski,' wrapped in an elegant mizuhiki (decorative cord) packaging!

Kintsuba Biski: A Confectionery Fusion from Kanazawa ♡

Kintsuba Biski is not strictly a wagashi (traditional Japanese sweet), but a fusion of Japanese and Western confections.

It's a creative dessert that combines the French pastry "biski" with kintsuba ♡

Biski is a French sweet made by baking flour with butter, eggs, and milk.

Kintsuba Biski features biski made with French fermented butter, wrapped around sweet red bean paste ♡

The combination of red bean paste and butter sounds delicious~!

There are two flavors: butter and matcha.

It's made by 'Kanazawa Tokiwaya,' a long-established wagashi shop founded in 1930.

Kanazawa is one of Japan's top three confectionary regions, along with Kyoto and Matsue.

A new sweet from an established shop in such a historic area is bound to be delicious…!
