Yamazaki Noir Brown Butter Cream Sandwich Cookies

This special edition Noir was created in collaboration with Koga City in Ibaraki Prefecture — home to the one and only factory in Japan where Noir and other Yamazaki Biscuit products are made. It pays tribute to that local heritage with a filling inspired by the city’s character: a kogashi bata (brown butter) cream that’s fragrant, deep-flavored, and unmistakably grown-up.

Brown butter — butter cooked until the milk solids caramelize and turn golden — brings a toasty, nutty richness that plain butter simply cannot match. Here, that flavor is captured in a smooth cream and sandwiched between the signature bittersweet Noir cocoa cookies, creating a combination of dark cocoa bitterness and buttery, caramelized depth that feels genuinely special. The package back tells the story of Koga City, from its beloved kingfisher mascot to its seasonal festivals and the legendary snow-loving feudal lord Doi Toshitsura — a collector’s item as much as a snack.
