Kobe Fugetsudo” will release “97th Anniversary Gaufre” in limited quantities from May 1 to commemorate the 97th anniversary of the birth of Gaufre. It is available in stores and at the official online store.
The store is sequentially developing anniversary projects for 2027, the 100th anniversary of the birth of Gaufres, and this is the third project following the first project in 2022, which marked the 95th anniversary, and the second project in 2023.
The 97th anniversary tin is a limited edition design with many ribbons expressing the bond with customers, and is an assortment of 6 pieces in total, with 3 layers of gaufre dough and 2 types of 3 flavors of cream, specially developed for the 97th anniversary. The new crunchy texture and two types of cream overlap each other, creating a luxurious taste experience.
The flavor lineup consists of three flavors: “Strawberry & Milk,” “Green Tea & Azuki Bean,” and “Coffee & Milk.” By specially creating three layers of gaufre dough instead of the usual two layers, customers can enjoy a new crunchy texture and the luxurious harmony of the two types of cream.
The “Strawberry & Milk,” which combines the well-balanced sweetness and sourness of “Tochiotome” with the mild sweetness of cream with condensed milk powder, has a gentle taste that both adults and children will love.
The “Matcha & Azuki” is a taste for adults who can enjoy the harmony of bitterness and sweetness, combining the elegant bitterness of Uji matcha from Kyoto with the delicate sweetness of azuki beans from Hokkaido.
The “Coffee & Milk,” which combines the well-balanced bitterness of a blend of coffees from four different countries with the milky sweetness of cream with raw milk powder from Hokkaido, offers a lingering taste.
In addition, when you purchase this anniversary can, you will receive as a novelty gift an original freezer bag specially designed for Gaufres to save a little bit of the special Gaufres to savor and share.
Small boxes of 97th Anniversary Gaufres by flavor, 540 yen each (tax included)
A small box of each flavor is also available, perfect for trial or repeat purchases. Recommended for trying out flavors you are interested in, for repeat purchases of your favorite flavors, or as small gifts.
An anniversary gift campaign is also underway: from May 1 to May 5, customers who spend 3,780 yen or more including tax at the store for a “97th Anniversary Gaufres Tin” will receive a “6-pack of Gaufres” as a present.
