We bought some butter sandwiches from the butter sandwich specialty shop “saison de cinquieme,” which opened on March 5 at the former site of the boutique “Ebisuyā” along Sanpachi-dori!
“Butter Sandwich A’s” from “saison de cinquieme”
“Butter Sandwich A’s” 389 yen each (before tax)
This time, we bought “Strawberry,” “Fig,” and “Sakura” (seasonal limited edition)!
These butter sandwiches feature buttercream sandwiched between sablé cookies made with “Awa Wasanbon Sugar,” produced from sugarcane grown on the in-house farm of Tokushima confectionery shop Okaman Honpo!
The “Fig” is a butter sandwich filled with figs simmered in red wine!
The refined sweetness of wasanbon sugar, the clean and light buttercream, and the fig flavor all come together for a very grown-up taste!
The “Strawberry” is a butter sandwich filled with strawberries simmered in white wine!
This one is also lightly sweet, with a smooth melt-in-your-mouth texture! It pairs perfectly with the crisp sablé.
The seasonal limited-edition “Sakura” is a butter sandwich with a sakura mochi-like flavor that feels very much like a traditional Japanese sweet!
There was sakura jam inside!
Every butter sandwich surprised us because the cream is light, not heavy at all, and easy to finish in no time! As expected from a butter sandwich made by a Japanese confectionery shop…!
We also received a baked sweet as an opening commemorative bonus!
The crispy cookie in the savory “Salt & Cheese” flavor is the kind of treat where once you have one, you just keep reaching for more!
