Brand Overview
About Butter Sand Specialty Shop "PRESS BUTTER SAND"

The brand launched at Tokyo Station in 2017 and has since expanded to department stores nationwide. It now operates stores internationally, growing into a global brand.

The simple ingredients highlight the natural flavor of butter in the two-layer creation of butter cream and butter caramel sandwiched between crispy cookie dough.
