KOKUNEKO, a Hakata-based sweets brand known for its black sugar and butter confections, is releasing a limited-time seasonal product — the Koku-uma Salty Financier — starting May 1, 2026 (Friday).
A Sweet-and-Salty Paw-Shaped Financier for the Season
KOKUNEKO's paw-shaped financier is back for the season, this time incorporating snow salt (雪塩) from Miyako Island, Okinawa. The Koku-uma Salty Financier pairs the brand's signature deep sweetness of black sugar with the rich aroma of butter, balanced by the mild saltiness of the island salt. The result is a moist, subtly sweet-and-salty financier that is well suited to the warmer months ahead.
As a limited-time item, it will only be available while supplies last.
