Gateau Rusk, Gateau Festa Harada

Gateau Festa Harada is a well-known manufacturer with its head office located in Takasaki City in Gunma Prefecture. Their popular, signature rusk snack, Gouter de Roi, which means “snack for a king”, is made of French baguettes using their original blended wheat recipe.

The snack is made of sliced French bread evenly spread with a high-quality melted butter. With its crispy texture, moderate sweetness and flavorful butter, creates a sophisticated taste.

In addition to this most cerebrated product, they produce many other types; a cacao rusk made of French bread with kneaded chocolate and ground cacao beans; a healthy rusk made with the least butter possible; and a sandwich gateau rusk with raisin cream; a savory rusk which goes well with wine. Many seasonal products are created such as a sweet rusk mixed with three different cheeses and a rusk coated with chocolate. The varieties of regional specialty products also worth trying!

Most of their products have a shelf life as long as 50 days from the manufactured date, which makes them a convenient souvenir or gift. They are available at Gateau Festa Harada shops in Gunma Prefecture as well as at major department stores nationwide.
