Japan has countless snack manufacturers, such as Calbee, Monteur, and unique ones like UHA Mikakuto. 🍬
But among them all, I absolutely love Bourbon! 💕
They are my top recommendation. If you come to Japan, you simply have to try them! 🍪
The absolute best thing from Bourbon is their cookies. 🍪
If you consider yourself a “Cookie Monster,” please give them a try. I think a lot of cookies overseas use ginger, but Japanese cookies don’t really use ginger that much. 🍯
Almost none of Bourbon’s cookies use ginger either. Instead, Japanese cookies are pretty sweet. They are packed with butter and sugar. 🧈 If you like that kind of flavor, you’ll totally love these! 💛
Another great feature of Bourbon cookies is that they are super crispy. If you are a Cookie Monster, I bet you could tell the difference even in a blind taste test—they are on a whole different level compared to other cookies. ✨ Some people say they taste “cheap,” but I actually love these more than those fancy cookies that come in gift tins. ❤️
Introducing the Classic Bourbon Snacks
- Blanchul (ブランチュール)
It’s a langue de chat cookie. I don’t usually like white chocolate, but the white chocolate in this Blanchul is exquisite. 😍 They sell them at supermarkets, so if you see them, please try one! 💕 - Baum Roll（バームロール）
This is yummy too. 😋 It’s a moist baumkuchen cake coated in white chocolate. 🤍 Bourbon makes strangely delicious white chocolate.
- 7-Eleven Private Brand Chocolate Chip Cookies（チョコチップクッキー）
It’s a PB (Private Brand) item, but the manufacturer is Bourbon. I’ve eaten countless cookies in my life, but this is the best chocolate chip cookie ever. 🍪🏆
How to Buy Bourbon Snacks in Japan
You can find Bourbon snacks anywhere in Japan. They are even sold at convenience stores. 🏪 That’s how famous this manufacturer is.
To buy Bourbon snacks, just go to a convenience store or a supermarket—they are sold everywhere. 🛒 If you are visiting on a trip and want something easy to buy, I recommend the PB Chocolate Chip Cookies at 7-Eleven. 🍪✨ Private brand items sold at 7-Eleven and other convenience stores are often made by major snack manufacturers. If you look at the back of the package, you’ll often see a famous maker listed as the manufacturer. 👀
Summary
Bourbon cookies are seriously delicious, so please buy some when you come to Japan! 🙏💕
