I heard that even the Japanese Emperor tried these and loved them, so I had to buy some myself. Turns out, a lot of people were buying them too! I got the signature flavor—the rich buttery aroma with sugar on top is amazing. Perfect with tea. Highly recommended!

Cuz we had expenses control during our trip, so we decided to take cruise ship to Hokkaido for saving costs of accommodation.I thought it was a brilliant idea .Though the bed was small, it could fit my friend in as he was about 180~190cm tall. As for other facilities and TV programs, we just had no interest at all. But we did enjoy a Japanese bath-Furo and watched the sea view. That’s really good.
