Last year’s popular “Chourakukan Butter Sandwich” was upgraded

2021.09.16

We have upgraded the Chourakukan original butter sand, which was popular last year, this year as well. The pastry chef and sommelier repeated trial and error to use “Madeira wine” selected according to the taste of butter sand. Butter sand with Western liquor creates an adult’s home time during the long autumn nights.

Chourakukan Butter Sand

A set of 6 flavors, “plain x raisin” and “cocoa x white fig”. “Plain x raisins” is a plain sable with butter cream and sultana raisins, and “Cocoa x white chijiku” is a cocoa sable with butter cream and white chijiku.

As the cream and fruit become familiar with each day, you can enjoy the changing taste slowly.

Balance of 3 kinds of cream, sable and fruit

・Rich but light cream with vanilla and fertilized eggs
・Thick sable that crumbles and spreads the taste of butter and almonds in your mouth
・Two types of dried fruits, sultana raisins and white figs, which have been carefully soaked in Madeira wine with rich sweetness and mellow fragrance for over a week.

Chourakukan’s butter sand is particular about the balance of the three flavors of cream, sable, and fruit. Thick sable and rich butter cream with a satisfying taste are finished with a refreshing aftertaste of fruit with Madeira wine.
If you eat it cold, it will have a refreshing taste, and if you eat it after returning it to room temperature, you will feel the rich taste of butter and the aroma of fruits.

Uses Portuguese fortified wine "Madeira Wine"

Madeira in Portugal, along with Port in Portugal and Sherry in Spain, is one of the three fortified wines in the world. Madeira wine is fortified with alcohol and then heated to create a unique fragrant flavor and an old vintage that can be preserved for over 100 years.

This time, considering the balance with butter cream and sable, we are using Vinhos Barbato “Madeira Veramar Reserva 5 Years”.
