Press Butter Sand comes to Singapore
The Takashimaya Food Hall is chock full of great eats from Japan, but it’s about to get better with Press Butter Sand’s arrival. 8days reports that the famous Tokyo Station sandwich cookie brand is coming to Singapore for the very first time, and setting up shop in Ngee Ann City’s basement. They officially open on 8 December.

For the uninitiated, Press Butter Sand is a sandwich cookie brand that’s a popular omiyage snack to bring back from Japan. They comprise two square biscuits that are baked with iron griddles, both of which sandwich Hokkaido buttercream and other fillings.

Boxes of five start at $22.50 here, and the cookies are available only in three flavours, a notch down from the seven Press Butter Sand offers in Japan. These are Original, Uji Matcha, and Chocolate. All of the cookies come directly from Japan, not made in Singapore.

The Original features a buttery cookie and a fluffy Hokkaido cream filling layered with gooey caramel. The Uji Matcha sees the Hokkaido buttercream laced with grassy uji matcha, while the Chocolate pairs a bittersweet cocoa biscuit with a chocolatey caramel, and the Hokkaido buttercream.

The first 500 customers to show up at the opening and spend over $60 will stand to get three free Christmas cookies in exclusive flavours, so that’s all the more incentive for you to swing by Press Butter Sand Singapore and visit them.
