SALTRA (ソルトラ), the salt-focused sweets brand that opened at the Hanshin Umeda Main Store in Osaka in 2025, has released a new 16-piece box of its most popular Caramel Sand Cookies. The new size became available on June 1, 2026 (Monday).
Exclusive to Hanshin Umeda Main Store — SALTRA's Top-Selling Item
SALTRA is a sweets brand dedicated to "designing confectionery with salt," and its products are only available at the Hanshin Umeda Main Store. The brand's Caramel Sand Cookies are made by sandwiching homemade salted caramel — simmered with mozuku salt from Awaji Island — between salt-butter cookies baked with grassfed butter. The rich, deep sweetness of the caramel and the gentle, mellow saltiness of the butter cookies create a complex, satisfying harmony.
The new 16-piece box is the largest size offered, making it an ideal souvenir or indulgent gift from Osaka and the Hanshin area.
76% grassfed butter is used. Grassfed butter refers to butter from dairy cattle raised through pasture farming, primarily fed on grass with supplementary feed used minimally.

Tigre [Butter]

Catalana
A special catalana made with "Yume Silk" — richly flavored eggs raised in Osaka — combined with mozuku salt from Awaji Island and slow-baked to perfection. Each piece is then individually brûléed on the surface for a pleasantly bitter caramel finish. The creamy richness of the Yume Silk eggs, the gentle saltiness, and the touch of bitterness create a delightful trio of flavors.
