Rokkatei Marusei Butter Sand are buttery sandwich-type cookies filled with raisins and a thick serving of butter-based cream from Hokkaido. Perfect for fans of the classic “Rum & Raisin” pairing, the creamy filling has the deep spiced flavor of rum and brandy. The butter cream coats your mouth, carrying vanilla and cinnamon notes with it. With a hefty serving of raisins in every cookie, each one adds a fresh sweetness which cuts through the heaviness of the butter. These aren’t your typical cream-filled cookies with only one or two millimeters of filling. Each Marusei Butter Sand contains an extremely generous portion of butter-cream and raisin filling, so you definitely won’t end up feeling short-changed. Let Rokkatei’s Marusei Butter Sand take your palette on a global journey. Experience the perfect combination of western-style soft cookies, festive Caribbean rum spices, and creamy Hokkaido dairy, brought together in a deliciously decadent individually wrapped morsel of goodness. If you have a sweet tooth, Marusei Butter Sand pairs well with a hot cafe latte. Or, if you’d prefer not to indulge too much, some unsweetened Japanese green tea helps to balance out the richness. Hokkaido produces over 50% of Japan’s milk for a reason. The cool weather, and endless green pastures for grazing, allows Japanese dairy cows the optimal environment to produce rich and creamy milk. That’s why Rokkatei’s butter-cream filling is so delicious, because they source the best quality milk from their home in what they consider Japan’s “dairy-farming paradise”.
