Kyo-Biske Waran

京びすけ和蘭

Inspired by cookies introduced at the time of the opening of Japan to the outside world

I bought these cookies because the mysterious pattern on the package caught my eye.

When I returned home, I found out that the store is called “Kameya Kiyonaga” and is a very long-established confectionery shop in Kyoto with a history of over 400 years.

A hard and thin cookie with a hexagonal shape. It is like a very hard biscuit.

The feel of the material gives the impression that it is made of organic materials.

When I tried it, I found the taste to be simple and sweet, but with a strong flavor of the ingredients.” The concept of the cookie seems to be “Japanese cookies,” and it is true that unlike buttery cookies, the biscuit has a simple, rustic, natural sweetness. This may have been how cookies were originally introduced to Japan.
