This sweet is like Nagoya’s famous ogura toast transformed directly into a langue de chat cookie.
Each one is individually wrapped and bite-sized, making the box easy to divide and share.
Every wrapper features a photograph of real ogura toast and a golden shachihoko, so recipients can immediately tell where the souvenir comes from and what flavor to expect. The price is a little high, but the excellent taste makes it satisfying.
A Delicious Sweet That Captures the Flavor of Nagoya
The cookie is square like a slice of bread.
Its faintly browned edges make it look like real toast.
A web search showed that the langue de chat was deliberately designed to resemble bread.
The thin, sweet cookie has a light, crisp texture.
Inside is a cream combining ogura red-bean-flavored chocolate with margarine.
The overall texture is crisp, the sweetness is restrained, and the margarine gives it a mellow, rich mouthfeel. It pairs extremely well with coffee.
I have bought it as a souvenir many times, and everyone has rated it highly.
It truly tastes like ogura toast. This is a highly recommended souvenir.
