The Exclusive Anbata Sandwich Debuts at Lumine Omiya!
Starting September 1, 2026, at 2:00 PM, the Anbata shop, renowned for its exquisite Japanese butter and bean paste sweets, will unveil the exclusive
Anbata Witch at its Lumine Omiya location. This one-of-a-kind treat combines the artistry of traditional Japanese sweets with modern flavors, offering patrons a taste sensation that’s hard to resist.
The Anbata Witch is crafted using a
soft and fluffy yeasted dough that’s reminiscent of classic Western pastries, filled generously with
salted butter cream and the premium
Eriomo azuki paste from Chitose, Hokkaido. Each bite delivers a satisfying chew and a delicate melt-in-your-mouth experience, perfectly balancing the sweetness of the sweet red bean paste with the rich, savory notes of the butter. This unique fusion embodies the spirit of the modern confectionery revolution, representing a delightful intersection of Western and Japanese dessert traditions.
A Culinary Journey
The journey to create the Anbata Witch was one marked by
trial and innovation. The fine craftsmanship behind this exclusive sandwich began with a clear mission: to provide Omiya customers with a flavor experience that can only be found at this specific location. Driven by a desire to blend textures as delightful as those found in classic
dorayaki, the chefs at Okada meticulously engineered the components of the Anbata Witch.
The
butter cream is hand-piped, ensuring each sandwich maintains a high standard of quality, and combined with the smooth white bean paste, it creates a harmonious flavor that elevates the dish to something extraordinary. The light and airy dough offers a nostalgic touch, reminiscent of childhood treats, while harmonizing beautifully with the richness of the filling.
