A Delicious Union: The Launch of Tokachi Waffle Sandwich with Cream Cheese Flavor
On June 23, Ginbis, a notable snack manufacturer based in Tokyo, announced the release of the Tokachi Waffle Sandwich with Cream Cheese flavor, developed in partnership with JALUX, an original sweets brand that promotes local produce from the Tokachi region. This delectable treat will be available at New Chitose Airport, Obihiro Airport, various JAL PLAZA locations, and local souvenir shops in Hokkaido.
Unveiling the Tokachi Waffle Sandwich
The Tokachi Waffle Sandwich exemplifies Ginbis' dedication to baked goods. This creation features a delicate, thin waffle filled with a smooth cheese sauce, offering an exquisite combination of moist and crispy textures. The waffle batter incorporates high-quality, smooth cream cheese from Tokachi's natural cheese factory, Tokachi no Fromage, known for its creamy and flavorful cheese products, which have even been served on JAL international flights and at high-profile events like the Lake Toya Summit. This careful selection of ingredients ensures the rich flavor of natural cheese from Tokachi's fresh milk beautifully envelops the decadent cheese sauce.

Collaborative Efforts Behind the Product
The partnership between Tokachi and JALUX is rooted in a desire to invigorate the local economy. In 2021, JALUX formed a comprehensive collaboration agreement with the Food Valley Tokachi Promotion Council and JAL, further solidifying their commitment to promoting regional revitalization. In 2022, they established a strategic business partnership with Yamamoto Tadanobu Shoten, a local supplier, and launched the original sweets brand “Tokachikara.”
Ginbis has pledged support for this initiative, focusing on developing a waffle sandwich that truly captures the essence of Tokachi no Fromage cheese. By choosing high-quality ingredients, the resulting sandwich not only boasts a rich flavor but also displays a silky mouthfeel that reflects the natural bounty of Hokkaido.
