Kamakura Dayori (Matcha)

A sable delivers an authentic matcha flavor

The matcha-flavored “Kamakura Dayori” sablé in the assortment pack made by Kamakura Beniya, who is  famous for Kurumikko cookies, is a striking, eye-catching shade of green—completely matcha-colored throughout, compared to the plain flavor.

“Hato-Sablé”  is well-known and very representative sweet of Kamakura city, and Kamakura Beniya’s “Kamakura Dayori” offers various flavors like matcha and azuki bean.

The distinctive feature of the Kamakura Dayori, meaning of “Newsletter”, is its ginkgo leaf shape, inspired by the Great Ginkgo Tree that is a symbolic presence at Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine in Kamakura.

Likewise the plain flavor, this is a crisp and crunchy sablé.

The rich aroma of wheat and butter pairs perfectly with the subtle bitterness of matcha. It is a shortbread cookie that delivers an authentic matcha flavor despite its simplicity.
