The individually wrapped 'Yuki ya Konko,' which combines cuteness with an understated, mature look.
From its appearance, some people might take it for a Japanese-style sweet...!?
In fact, it is a genuine Western-style confection: a cocoa-flavored cookie with white chocolate sandwiched inside.

And no wonder... as the name suggests, the theme of this sweet is 'a winter snow sky in the palm of your hand.'
The pattern on the surface of the biscuit is said to represent snow drifting down from a winter night sky.
The outer package was a dark brown reminiscent of cocoa cookies (laughs).
The pattern on the surface of the biscuit represents snow drifting down from a winter night sky.
Look closely and you will see that the outer package is black and dark brown, evoking the winter sky.
If you eat it with that theme in mind, you may find yourself savoring the Hokkaido winter even more deeply.

Black cocoa is kneaded into the biscuit dough, giving it a slightly bitter, grown-up taste.
Combined with the sweetness of the white chocolate, it strikes an exquisite balance.
It is sold on its own and is also included in gift sets!

What Japanese buyers say

The one reviewer describes cocoa biscuits sandwiching white chocolate that are not very sweet, suiting adult tea time; the birch-tree package evokes Hokkaido and it is ideal for sharing with a group. They rated value a bit lower.
