Pal System's New Animal Biscuits: A Community Collaboration

On May 25, 2023, Pal System Co-operative Association, based in Shinjuku, Tokyo, will start accepting orders for their new product, the "Minna ni Wakekko Doubutsu Biscuit" (Everyone's Animal Biscuits). These delightful treats are made from high-quality ingredients, including locally sourced wheat and soy milk from Hokkaido, and baked using yeast, showcasing a simple yet profound taste that captures the essence of the ingredients.

A Taste Rooted in Quality Ingredients

The new animal biscuits feature "Kitahonami," a carefully selected wheat variety from Hokkaido, complemented by an original product, unsweetened soy milk from local soybeans. By kneading the dough solely with soy milk, the biscuits maintain a natural, rustic flavor that unfolds with every bite. The texture is slightly firm yet crisp, an achievement made possible through the incorporation of rice flour, ensuring a delightful crunch with every mouthful.

Packaged in convenient 18g bags, these biscuits encourage sharing, making them perfect for families and friends. The charming aspect of these biscuits lies not only in their crispiness but also in their ability to bring people together over a shared snack experience.

Community Input: A Child's Idea Becomes Reality

The creation of these biscuits involved meaningful collaboration with Pal System's users, particularly those from the Chiba region. Emphasizing the importance of producing a snack that can be enjoyed safely across all age groups, participants took part in market research and taste tests, ensuring that the flavor and price met their expectations.

Interestingly, the name "Wakekko," which means sharing, comes from a child's remark after tasting a prototype. A member's grandchild exclaimed, "This is delicious! I want to share it with everyone!" This sentiment perfectly captures the spirit of the biscuits, which aim to spark conversations and laughter, making even the simplest moments joyful.
