A classic Tokyo souvenir, born from the kitchens of a long-established Western-style restaurant.
Established by the Western-style restaurant Ogawaken, founded in 1905 in Tokyo's Shimbashi district. During the mid-Showa period, Jun Ogawa (the second-generation owner) and his brother Akira Ogawa perfected the original Raisin Wich recipe, leading them to establish the dedicated pastry brand "Paris Ogawaken."
Their signature Raisin Wich has remained popular since its debut. Plump, rum-soaked raisins and a special creamy filling are generously sandwiched between crisp, buttery cookies rich with the fragrance of natural vanilla. This trio of crisp cookies, thick raisins, and silky-smooth cream creates an irresistible harmony.
Each Raisin Wich is meticulously prepared daily in their dedicated Meguro bakery, with strict quality control over ingredient freshness, dough preparation, baking temperatures, and timing. Despite its substantial appearance, the cookie is elegantly sweet and never overwhelming—a testament to their expertise. The retro-inspired packaging further enhances its appeal, evoking a nostalgic charm.
Superb harmony of cookies, raisins, and special cream.
Available in boxes of 5 or 10 pieces.

Paris Ogawaken's Raisin Wich is a signature souvenir from this long-established Western-style confectionery shop in Tokyo's Meguro Ward. The cookies are filled with plenty of raisins and buttercream. Compared with Rokkatei's Marusei Butter Sandwich from Hokkaido, Ogawaken's cookies are slightly softer, with a mild buttery aroma but a stronger rum flavor. The raisins also have a distinct alcoholic aroma. Each has its own characteristics, but I would recommend Ogawaken more to those who enjoy a rich rum flavor.
The cookies are nice and crisp, filled with rich cream and sweet raisins. They’re not too sweet and really addictive—perfect for enjoying with tea.
These raisin butter sandwich cookies are amazing! The cookies are crisp, the butter is rich but not heavy, and the slightly sweet raisins are a perfect match. Once you start eating, you can't stop!
