This rusk is loved by almost everyone and is reasonably priced, making it a handy gift. The only downside is that the expiration date is relatively short. I bought about five different varieties of the Sanrio collaboration rusk because they were so cute. I took a picture of the ones for myself, so I'll upload it for reference.

I think you can only buy it at Daimaru in Kyoto. They often collaborate with various characters, and original cans are released. This time, they are collaborating with Sanrio, so I went to check it out. I have bought Harada's rusk many times before, and the taste is consistently delicious. They offer various packaging options for personal use and gifts, which is convenient. It seems that the price has gone up a bit, but it still falls into the affordable range, so the price is not bad.

This time, I received some cocoa. The bittersweet taste of cocoa is addictive and delicious, perfect for adults. Starting from June 1st, there will be 9 types of design cans in collaboration with Sanrio characters. They are very cute, but I noticed that my daughter's favorite character, Hello Kitty, is not included... What a shame!

You can purchase sweets made with Kyoto-limited matcha from "GATEAU FESTA HARADA," a famous rusk shop. While exploring the department store basement, I came across the words "Kyoto Limited" and decided to buy. Item: Tigres Matcha (3 pieces) 810 yen (tax included) Description: A chocolate cake with black beans in matcha dough and matcha chocolate sauce. The dough, made with stone-ground Uji matcha, is moist with a hint of sweetness from the black beans. The matcha chocolate sauce is rich and elegant with a refined matcha flavor. Recommended as a souvenir for the Bon festival! Store Information: - Access: About 1 minute walk from Hankyu Kyoto Line "Karasuma Station," about 4 minutes walk from Kyoto Municipal Subway Karasuma Line "Shijo Station" - Business Hours: 10:00-20:00 - Regular Holiday: Same as Daimaru Kyoto Store - Seating: Take-out only - Parking: Available - Cashless Payment: Available

In Kyoto, at Gâteau Festa Harada, you have to wait in line on weekends to get inside the store. Their Gâteau rusk is crispy and very delicious. The French bread that becomes rusk is baked in a special factory. I learned this a few years ago when I visited the main store in Takasaki City, Gunma Prefecture. Today, I purchased the Goutte de la Reine White Chocolate.

In Daimaru Kyoto, there is a popular pastry shop called "Gateau Festa Harada" known for its Gateau Russe. The shop originated in 1901 in Takasaki, Gunma Prefecture, and has since expanded to stores in department stores nationwide. Their signature product is the Gateau Russe "Gute de Roi." I purchased the special collaboration Gateau Russe "Gute de Roi One Piece Design" as a souvenir, which comes in a set of four cans featuring Luffy, Zoro, Nami, and Chopper designs. The Gateau Russe is a popular pastry made with fragrant French bread and high-quality butter, making it a delightful gift for One Piece fans.

I received a white chocolate rusk from my junior at work. I'm not a fan of sweet things, but it wasn't too sweet and tasted delicious. I love white chocolate.

I happened to visit Kyoto and impulsively bought the Kyoto limited edition "Tigres Matcha" at the Daimaru Kyoto store's basement floor. It is a chocolate cake Tigres that has been adapted with a matcha flavor. It costs 810 yen for a pack of 3. The moist matcha cake with black beans has matcha chocolate sauce flowing in the middle. The matcha used is Uji matcha from Kyoto Prefecture. The matcha flavor is deep without bitterness, complemented by the sweetness of the chocolate. I only knew the image of rusk, so the surprise factor and the great combination of matcha made me rate it higher than rusk. I will definitely buy it as a souvenir when I visit Kyoto again.

Finally, I bought it. Every year from around October to spring, there is a Daimaru Kyoto limited edition item called "Matcha Tigre" for 270 yen. I wanted to try it out as a potential New Year's gift, so I purchased just one. The matcha sponge cake is moist and fluffy, with black soybeans and matcha chocolate in the middle. The matcha aroma and flavor are weak, with no bitterness. The texture of the sponge cake is a bit too moist, almost sticky, and the black soybeans are also quite sticky, making it a bit too gooey. Unfortunately, the matcha chocolate is overpowered by the black soybeans, and it has a cheap oily taste. This was a disappointment. For a more enjoyable matcha chocolate experience, I recommend the Kansai limited edition "Gouter de la Roa Matcha" for family use, which comes in a simple box for 864 yen. The matcha chocolate is delicious and the thick layer of chocolate is always a delight. It's a good choice for both home use and as a gift. You can purchase it at Hankyu Umeda, Daimaru Kyoto, Daimaru Kobe, and Kintetsu Abeno Harukas. The packaging is also charming. Another option is the "Gouter de la Roa Soleil" for 1080 yen. This is my first time trying it, and as someone who enjoys sweeter chocolates, I found the blond chocolate's sweetness to be perfect. It's undeniably delicious, with a generous coating of tasty chocolate. You can't go wrong with this one.

As the cold weather sets in, I have been putting all my energy into my activities as a Harada follower! I received the delicious Kyoto limited edition "Tigres Matcha" from my beloved "Gateau Festa Harada" (^_^) When I opened the bag, I was greeted by the wonderful aroma of matcha! \(//∇//)\ I am already so happy just from this scent! The reason why it tastes so good is not just because it uses matcha and black beans, but because it is made with high-quality butter, almonds, and chocolate, giving it a rich and luxurious taste. It's like eating a delicate confectionery, so I want to savor it slowly and enjoy every bite. (^-^) Thanks to Harada-sama, I can overcome the cold season that I hate so much. I look forward to continuing my activities with enthusiasm! *Harada religious activities involve buying lots of Harada sweets that I love so much, enjoying them quietly by myself, and eating them diligently, a very simple and understated activity.笑

I was just at Daimaru Department Store Kyoto, so I decided to stop by Gâteau Festa Harada. I usually buy the Kyoto store exclusive Tigres Matcha, but since winter is approaching, I decided to try the Goutte de Royat White Chocolate. I used the Daimaru Matsuzakaya shareholder benefits card to get a 10% discount on the department store gift card, so it was a good deal. When I got home, I tried it after a long time, and it was delicious. Excluding limited edition items, I like the Goutte de Royat White Chocolate the most here.

Gâteau Festa Harada Daimaru Store Gout de Rois Snoopy Design Makeup Can Small 1,944 yen Hors d'oeuvre Rusk Gout de Rois Sommelier 972 yen I'm excited with the Snoopy design packaging. The not too sweet hors d'oeuvre rusk was perfect for accompanying alcohol. It went well with wine and beer. It had a stable and delicious taste. Thank you for the meal.

After the state of emergency was lifted, I visited Gato Fest Harada for the first time in a while. I came to buy the limited edition Tigres Matcha available only at Daimaru Department Store Kyoto. Luckily, it wasn't too crowded this time, so I was able to buy it quite quickly. I bought a box of three pieces as a base. I made the payment with my Daimaru Matsuzakaya membership card. When I tried it at home, the matcha flavor was very strong and delicious as always. Although it is a bit pricey for one piece, it is really tasty as it is limited edition.

Went on a year-end date in Kyoto with my wife and bought some delicious Stollen. The Christmas Stollen cost 648 yen and we got three pieces sized 50x40mm, with a thickness of 15mm each. When we opened it, a calming scent of liquor filled the air, and when we took a bite, a hint of cinnamon spread in our mouths. The crumbly texture revealed candied orange, walnuts, almonds, raisins, and more, creating a delightful mix of flavors and textures. It can last for about a month and a half.

I visited the store in Daimaru Kyoto in March 2020. It is always a popular place with long lines. The store sells a variety of rusk products. I purchased the Kansai limited edition Matcha Rusk for 864 yen and the Matcha Chocolate for 486 yen. Both prices are tax included. I enjoyed them at home and they were delicious. I highly recommend them for a happy treat.

Rusk is limited to the Kansai region, while Tigres is limited to Kyoto. I had decided that the Kansai limited souvenir with my name would be Lululun sheet masks for women, but in the food department, this seems to be the staple. - Items received: - Rusk (5 pieces) x 3 - Tigres (3 pieces) x 1 This time, Tigres is for home use. If it's for home use, it might be better to eat the rusk first and then have the Tigres. The Tigres are more rustic, after all.

I went to buy a present for someone and also bought some for myself. It was the 20th anniversary package of Gâteau de Roa, featuring art by three different artists. The taste was the usual Gâteau Festa!, which was incredibly delicious when I first tried it. It was hard to buy, but finally got my hands on it.

(2020.01/First Visit) Gâteau Festa Harada Daimaru Kyoto Store, Kyoto City Shimogyo-ku, Daimaru Kyoto Store B1, Kyoto Souvenir Sweets. For nearly 10 years, the top spot at our home has been Maru Blanche's "Tea Sweets." However, there is a new contender threatening its position, the limited edition products from Gâteau Festa Harada Daimaru Kyoto Store. When we think of Gâteau Festa Harada, we usually think of Sugar Rusk, right? I often buy delicious sweets from them at Nagoya Takashimaya, where even the frog in a daze resides. I like their regular items too, but I absolutely love the white chocolate or strawberry chocolate-coated rusks. The limited edition products from Gâteau Festa Harada Daimaru Kyoto Store were also delicious. I had tried them a few times and thought they were tasty, but the location made it a bit inconvenient for me to buy them myself. I usually take the Shinkansen, so I would buy souvenirs near the station. Therefore, I didn't visit Daimaru Kyoto Store that often. However, with the opening of the new route on the Shin-Meishin Expressway, the access between Nagoya and Kyoto has become much better. Since last year, it has become very convenient to drive back home, so I have more opportunities to visit Daimaru Kyoto Store. Now, let me introduce the limited edition products from Gâteau Festa Harada Daimaru Kyoto Store. Tigres Matcha 3 pieces for 810 yen (tax included) or 6 pieces for 1,782 yen (tax included). It's different from rusk, more moist. The black beans are softly cooked, adding a Kyoto touch. The rich matcha chocolate creates a delicious taste. "Delicious!" When it comes to souvenir sweets, what are the essential conditions? Especially for workplace souvenirs, the following conditions are important: - The package should convey a sense of surprise from the appearance - Individually wrapped for easy sharing and good shelf life - Particularly popular among women - Tasty even for men - Slightly higher price range Tigres Matcha meets all the criteria! Souvenir sweets are usually quickly consumed by everyone, but if it's a dud, it tends to linger around. With Tigres Matcha from Gâteau Festa Harada, you won't have to worry about it lingering on the table forever. So, will it take over the throne of Tea Sweets? Tigres Matcha! Bon appétit!

I came across the release of chocolate-coated rusks. The excitement I felt when I first tried them remains unchanged. My favorite is the bitter chocolate-coated product available only in the Kanto region. However, I once received a Kansai limited edition from a friend, so I bought it to enjoy at home. It was delicious as expected. There are various regional limited editions, so I would definitely like to try them if I have the chance.

When I come to Kyoto on September 30, I always stop by Daimaru Kyoto store. The reason is to purchase Tigres Matcha, which is only available at Gato Festa Harada Daimaru Kyoto store. I visited in the evening around 5 o'clock on a weekday, and there were no customers at all, which is convenient for buying quickly but also feels lonely. Since it is a popular souvenir, I bought about 5 boxes. The rarity of being able to buy only in Kyoto, and the rich yet moist texture make it the most delicious among other regional limited edition products like Tigres Red Velvet, which is limited to Tokyo. Thank you for the meal, I will visit again.
