Ragueneau appears repeatedly among our recommended Aomori souvenirs. This time, the focus is Yakkoi Sable. “Yakkoi” means soft in the Tsugaru dialect.
Yakkoi Sable: Aomori Apple Caramel and La France
Five pieces cost ¥515, and some stores sell them individually for around ¥100.
The package describes a soft-style sable made by baking apple-juice and apple-fiber dough around caramel-flavored chocolate. “Soft” despite being baked is difficult to imagine until you touch it.
The surface looks like a thin cookie, yet it bends softly.
Caramel chocolate fills the center. Its ganache-like quality gives the cookie a semi-soft texture, while the sable itself is moist rather than crisp. Apple-flavored dough and caramel chocolate melt together deliciously in the mouth.
The series also includes a La France pear flavor.
This version contains La France-flavored white chocolate.
The pear aroma spreads immediately, and the generous white chocolate is irresistibly mellow. White-chocolate lovers will certainly appreciate it.
Yakkoi Sable Suits Every Generation
True to its name, the soft sable is easy for young children and older people to eat. Its moist texture also prevents the crumbs produced by ordinary sable cookies. The Tsugaru-dialect name is fun, and the unusual texture makes Yakkoi Sable a recommended Aomori souvenir.
