HAKUJUJI “Kogen Busse”
A seasonal busse featuring the rich flavors of Hiruzen Jersey milk and cheese.
A seasonal treat from HAKUJUJI, a Western- and Japanese-style confectionery founded in Okayama Prefecture in 1957. Available in stores from fall through spring, Kogen Busse is one of the brand’s signature baked treats and has been a longtime favorite.
Moist sponge cake made with Hiruzen Jersey milk sandwiches a smooth cream blended with finely chopped cheese. The cheese’s saltiness complements the sponge’s delicate sweetness, while the light, fluffy texture gives way to the rich flavors of milk and cheese.
The individual wrappers come in six designs inspired by Kogen Busse. The treats are sold individually and in boxes containing 3 to 20 pieces, making them ideal for both an everyday snack and a souvenir from Okayama. They are scheduled to be available from around late September through May.
