Hontaka Ecorce : This Japanese line of cookies was first established in 1887 and is available in giftstores all around Japan. According to their website (translated to English via Google Translate), the cookie is made of just a few simple ingredients: flour, sugar, oil and fat, and eggs. What makes it unique is the thin and flaky layers, which are almost like a cross between a crepe and mille-feuille (though it's completely dry). Its buttery taste and precisely thin layers, along with its thoughtful packaging, make it quintessentially Japanese. The cookie I had was unfilled, but other pirouline-shaped cookies are filled with chocolate. Overall, this delicate yet rich snack was a real treat. Thanks to @sharingnicely for sharing nicely! 4.5/5.0
