Extending the Product Line - Rokkatei Itsuka Kita Michi

Rokkatei, the popular maker of Marusei Butter Sand has released a new product (released in April 2013) called "Itsuka Kita Michi". The full name of the product is "Kono Michi Ha, Itsuka Kita Michi". The Japanese words translate as "This way is a way once passed in the past."

The product name is long, but the taste of it really make you feel like it depicts the name of the product. It does not taste like a "new product", but rather they make me feel like the taste is something I tasted long time ago when I was a kid.

The name actually originated from lyric from a Japanese song called "Kono Michi" which is a famous Japanese children's song. The relics of this song is written by a Japanese Tanka Poet Hakushu Kitahara (1885-1942) who is regarded as one of the most popular and important poets in modern Japanese literature.

This song is believed to be written about Hokkaido, Sapporo based on words used in the song such as "White Clock Tower" and flower of "Acacia" which is a type of flower. (The actual flower which exists in Hokkaido is actually Pseudoacacia and not Acacia.) This product uses honey from this Pseudoacacia which brings in unique flavor that goes very well with their original product of the butter sand.

Unlike the original butter sand which the outer part is made of cookie doe, they uses soft pie crust on this new product. They also added lemon, chocolate and jelly made out of Marmelo which is fruit tastes similar to apple or karin (pseudocydonia). As like any other Rokkatei products, they use no artificial food coloring which is amazing that they can make the bit of red color of Marmelo jelly with natural ingredients.
