Fujiya Home Pie: Japan’s No.1 Pie Pasty Cookies
When it comes to Japanese pie pasty cookies, Unagi Pie and Genji Pie are popular, but Japan’s best-selling product is this Home Pie (ホームパイ) from Fujiya (不二家).
Fujiya Home Pie
Since its debut in 1968, Fujiya Home Pie has been a favorite of many Japanese, loved by all ages, and is available in most supermarkets.
Based on the article ホームパイ on Japanese Wikipedia, these are a confection made from wheat-based dough applied with butter, folded into about 700 layers, cut, and baked.
Besides, Fujiya even uses Mt. Fuji’s natural water for this snack to be particular about the details.
Thanks to those, the finish is perfect with delightful crispiness and a rich, pure taste. Also, the cookie has the right degree of sweetness, and I think everyone can like it.
If you can find a cookie with the mascot character Peko Chan’s face branded on it, you are super lucky, as the probability is 1/1000!
