The newest, must-try Osaka souvenir is produced by Yoshimoto Kogyo and packed with a humorous spin on the Hokkaido staple cookie that’s sure to make you chuckle.

This Kansai-made gaufrette cookie is reborn as a dessert cookie with Kansai-made mitarashi cream. The gaufrette cookie has a crispy bite, blended perfectly with the rich, aromatic mitarashi cream in a deeply satisfying flavor.

You can pick up these treats at major stations and airports like Shin-Osaka, Osaka Station, Osaka International Airport, or even the Yoshimoto Official Shop. In addition to the standard mitarashi flavor, there’s also the fruit sandwich, and white chocolate flavor to try.

Highlights

  • A new must-have souvenir with an Osaka-taste of humor.
  • Mitarashi cream sandwiches made with Kansai-born and bred gaufrette and mitarashi.
  • A cozy flavor that feels like a tiny taste of home.

    Omoshiroi Koibito is a distinctive Kansai souvenir. It’s quite different from Hokkaido’s Shiroi Koibito, with thin cookies sandwiching a sweet soy sauce filling unique to Kansai. It has a subtle soy sauce aroma and a distinctive sweet-and-savory flavor, followed by a hint of soy sauce sweetness, so it’s not simply sweet. The cookies are light and crisp, and they go surprisingly well with the sweet soy sauce filling. The more you eat, the more flavorful they become!

    While visiting Japan, just seeing the name “Omoshiroi Koibito” and its packaging made me smile. It looks fun and has the strong feel of a Japanese souvenir, making it a great conversation piece to give as a gift.

    The cookies are crisp and similar to langue de chat cookies, with a sweet, smooth cream filling. They're a cookie souvenir that's both fun and tasty.
