The Saison Wich Commitment
Saison Wich was born from the desire to let customers experience various flavors and seasons by changing the sandwiched ingredients according to the season. Enjoy delicious flavors throughout spring, summer, autumn, and winter while feeling the seasonal essence.
While only homemade rum raisins were previously used in sandwich format, this new initiative focuses on seasonal expressions, exploring different flavor combinations. The butter cream flavor also changes according to the sandwiched ingredients, refined through countless trials until achieving the perfect taste.
The carefully crafted butter cream, particular about aroma, melt-in-mouth texture, and flavor to enhance seasonal ingredients, is a crucial element defining the overall taste. Kamakura Witch continues creating sweets that color customers' life moments while evolving with the four seasons.
Kamakura Witch Winter Flavors
Cake au Chocolat
The secret to the rich flavor lies in the generously baked fresh chocolate. Each bite reveals smooth fresh chocolate chunks, creating a special sensation. A pound cake for chocolate enthusiasts to slowly savor the abundant cacao aroma.
Raisin Brownie
A rich brownie using plenty of butter, baked with the same homemade rum raisins used in the signature Kamakura Witch (Rum Raisin). The moist texture spreads rich cacao aroma and mellow rum raisin aftertaste. Individually wrapped, perfect as daily rewards or small gifts.
Cacao Wich
Crispy, light cocoa biscuits with almond richness and fragrance, sandwiching vibrant, tangy framboise cream. The combination of cocoa sweetness and framboise's sharp acidity creates an irresistible deliciousness that makes you reach for another.
Kamakura Choco Bisque
The signature "Kamakura Witch" biscuits carefully coated with smooth chocolate, topped with "cacao nibs"—dried, roasted, and finely crushed cacao beans. The sable's fragrance, chocolate's gentle sweetness, and cacao nibs' bitterness create an accent, adding depth to texture and flavor. Available seasonally from autumn through spring.
Kamakura Witch Concept: "Just One for You"
Following the brand renewal to "Kamakura Witch" on November 1, 2025, the company adopted the new concept "Just One for You." This concept emerged from an internal brand renewal project that took over a year to develop, capturing moments between staff and customers at stores and customers' experiences with products.
Reflecting on customer episodes at each shop brought joy, recalling feelings toward the company and products brought tears, and sometimes frustration at being unable to express thoughts properly—this challenged not just visual design coolness but broader brand design bringing empathy and solidarity to the organization.
The moment of handing sweets made with heart to each customer saying "Just one for you" creates connections. Cherishing the warm joy felt in these moments, the company views this milestone as a new starting point and moves forward with renewed determination.
Kamakura's Renowned Sweet: Kamakura Witch
Signature Product: Kamakura Witch
Plump homemade rum raisins and smooth, flavorful butter cream sandwiched between light-textured biscuits. Kamakura Witch adds rum liquor immediately after boiling raisins to evaporate alcohol, then lets them rest to gently lock in elegant rum aroma.
This homemade rum raisin allows children and those sensitive to alcohol to enjoy safely. The combination of "rum raisin," "butter cream," and "Kamakura biscuit" transforms from crispy to moist texture over time—a unique masterpiece the company takes pride in.
Commitment to Deliciousness - The Creator's Spirit
The products aren't particularly difficult to make. Kamakura Witch produces an average of 10,000 to 11,000 pieces daily—over 20,000 Kamakura biscuits in terms of individual cookies. Each piece receives hand-applied egg wash and almond topping before baking, with experienced staff skillfully sandwiching raisins like seasoned sushi chefs with elegant hand movements.
While machines are used, their role is mainly supportive—handcrafting remains central. Therefore, irregular shapes add machine-impossible warmth, hopefully conveying handmade warmth through sweets to customers.
Quality Control and Hygiene Management
The company philosophy prioritizes "protecting product safety and delivering high-quality products customers can enjoy with confidence." Therefore, quality improvement efforts span all processes beyond taste quality.
Thorough quality control from raw material procurement through production to shipment creates products leading to delicious smiles. To achieve quality improvement across all processes, checklists are created for each stage—raw material procurement, production, and shipment. This establishes systems enabling immediate response even when irregular situations occur.
