When you say Yokumoku, "Cigare" is the famous one.
Probably almost everyone knows it by now.

Cigare was born in 1969.
The name means "cigar" (Cigare), and rolling it into a cigar shape is said to create its distinctive light texture.
It is now a complete classic, but at the time it seems to have been a groundbreaking and shocking sweet.

According to the website, it uses butter up to the very limit of what can still be called a sweet, achieving deep richness and flavor.
No wonder the rich aroma of butter is so full and has a high-class feel.
The crisp texture and the luxurious flavor that spreads in your mouth are addictive.

It is a sweet that never misses, regardless of the age group of the recipient.
It can be used widely, as a souvenir of course, and also for ochugen and oseibo (seasonal gifts in summer and at year-end).
