Sugar Butter Tree cookies have long been a classic go-to souvenir for travelers visiting Japan. What makes them especially irresistible is that different regions and seasons often offer exciting limited-edition flavors.
On this trip to Hakata, I happened to find this dreamy limited-edition Amaou strawberry flavor. As soon as you open the package, you’re greeted by a wonderful strawberry aroma. The crisp, hearty cereal cookies sandwich a rich, sweet-tart strawberry white chocolate filling. They’re sweet without being overwhelming, making it hard to stop eating one after another. Whether paired with a cup of hot coffee or mellow black tea, they’re the perfect afternoon treat and definitely a delicious must-buy souvenir when traveling in Kyushu.
