The Galette des Rois is a crispy pie crust with the aroma of fermented butter and the luxurious taste of crème d’amande made with Spanish almond pudding and Tahitian vanilla beans.

In addition to the taste, the beauty of the surface was the subject of the judging, and the most difficult aspect was the delicate pattern created using a laurel leihe (pattern), meaning victory.

The 18 cm-diameter galette de roi will also be sold at the “Everyone’s Galette Exposition – 2025 Kobe Galette de Roi” to be held on the 9th floor of the Kobe Hankyu main building from January 10 to 13, for 4,860 yen including tax.

The person in charge comments, “We hope you will enjoy this dish, for which we have made many prototypes, during the New Year when you spend time with your loved ones.

＜
The “Galette des Rois,” eaten to celebrate the Feast of the Epiphany on January 6, is an indispensable New Year’s pastry in France. I would love to taste this contest-winning delicacy.
