What is shiroi koibito?

Shiroi Koibito, also known as "White Lover" cookies, are a popular confectionery product from Japan, specifically from the Hokkaido region. These cookies consist of a layer of white chocolate sandwiched between two buttery, langue de chat cookies.

Shiroi Koibito cookies are known for their delicate and sweet flavor, as well as their elegant and attractive packaging. They are often given as gifts or souvenirs due to their high quality and premium taste.

The company that produces Shiroi Koibito, Ishiya Co., Ltd., was founded in 1951 in Sapporo, Hokkaido. The cookies have since become a beloved and iconic product of Hokkaido, attracting both domestic and international tourists to the region.

In addition to the original Shiroi Koibito cookies, the company also offers various seasonal and limited edition flavors, as well as a chocolate factory tour where visitors can see how the cookies are made.
