The cookie has a simple appearance, and the aroma of butter wafts through the air while open the package.

It has a hollowy texture and can be broken easily in half. It gives the impression of being one of the softer cookies.

It is  crispy and light, and rich in flavor with the mellow aroma of milk and butter at the same time. It really represents the Hokkaido-like cookie while Hokkaido is proud of a large output of dairy production. The quality is high enough to please many of us.
