"Have You Heard of 'Polvorón'? The Spanish Sweet That Grants Your Wishes When Recited Three Times!"

Petit gifts are sweet treats for sure＊

The most popular petit gifts for weddings are small sweets like candies and cookies. Cute and sweet confections can make people feel happy, right?＊

This time, I would like to introduce a foreign sweet that is said to bring "happiness"♡

Do you know the traditional Spanish sweet 'Polvorón' that brings happiness?＊

This sweet, known as 'Polvorón,' originated over a thousand years ago in the Andalusia region of Spain and is simple and gentle in nature♡

It is a cookie-like treat made from finely sifted flour and almond powder, baked with cinnamon, butter, and lard, characterized by its ability to crumble and dissolve before it even touches your teeth＊

In Spain, it has long been said that "if you can chant 'Polvorón' three times before it melts away, happiness will come to you."

It's just like a shooting star, isn't it?♡

Polvorón brings such happiness. While it is sold in monasteries and confectionery shops in Spain, where can you obtain it in Japan?＊

Let's introduce some shops that carry delicious Polvorón♩

Store to buy Polvorón① Dulce Mina

At 'Dulce Mina,' located in Moriya City, Ibaraki Prefecture, they recreate the authentic taste of Polvorón without using any preservatives♡

The candy wrapper packaging is also popular for its cuteness. They are bite-sized, making them perfect for petit gifts＊

The price is 2,550 yen (excluding tax) for 15 pieces, which is about 180 yen each.

It would be lovely to gift them as a set with coffee, too♡

They can also be purchased online, so brides in Ibaraki and beyond can order them.

Using ordered sweets as petit gifts adds a special touch, and people would surely appreciate it.
