What Japanese buyers say

Reviewers praise the crisp almond galette cookies sandwiching white chocolate as satisfying yet not too sweet, with an elegant white, diamond-dust-themed package suitable for older recipients. Flavor variations and a bite-size version exist. One buyer warns the cookies crumble easily once the box is opened and carried in individual packets.
