All Reviews of Rokkatei Marusei Butter Sandwich

A true classic and one of the very best rum raisin sandwich cookies! The crumbly cookies are filled with rich, smooth buttercream and rum raisins. With every bite, the rich aroma of rum slowly comes through as you chew. It’s very fragrant without being overly sweet or heavy, and it gets more addictive the more you eat. The texture is rich and layered, and it pairs well with either tea or coffee. One thing to note is that the cookies themselves are fairly fragile, so handle them carefully when carrying them around, as they can easily break with even a slight bump. If you’re giving them as a gift, I recommend buying the boxed version. It’s easier to carry and also looks more presentable.

Every time I go to Hokkaido, I make sure to leave space in my suitcase for these.

They look understated, but they’re seriously impressive! The cookies are crisp, the butter cream is rich but not heavy, and each bite has that lovely aroma of rum raisins. They’re so easy to keep eating that a whole box can quietly disappear.

No wonder they’ve been popular for over 50 years and are still a Hokkaido favorite. If you haven’t tried them, can you even say you’ve been to Hokkaido? This is one of those treats you can buy without a second thought. Great as a gift, and even better to enjoy yourself!

As soon as you open the package, you can smell the rich aroma of rum. It’s so tempting, you just want to keep eating more.
