CANOBLE Releases Delicious Summer Butter Sandwiches with the GLASS Collection

CANOBLE Launches GLASS Series: A Summer Delight

On August 9, 2025, National Depart Co., Ltd., based in Okayama, Japan, will release a new collection named «GLASS» under its food cosmetic sweets brand, CANOBLE, at their Tokyo factory in Meguro. Fans can reserve this limited collection starting today through the company's EC site.

The Reinvention of Butter Sandwiches

The concept behind CANOBLE has always revolved around redefining food experiences—in this case, butter sandwiches. Traditionally, butter sandwiches consist of a cookie shell with butter cream or dried fruits that often overpower the rich flavor of the butter itself. Recognizing this imbalance, CANOBLE has developed a completely refreshed interpretation of butter sandwiches that amplifies the true essence of butter, prioritizing its taste over the typical cookie crunch.

With the new GLASS series, the design revises the traditional layered structure of the butter sandwich to ensure the butter flavor is front and center. This innovative sandwich features a thin, translucent layer known as «Nishikigumi», which utilizes Japan's traditional methods of encapsulating colors and aromas reflecting the seasons. By incorporating a salt butter base, the series successfully delivers a more pronounced butter taste.

A Summer Experience in Each Bite

The GLASS collection aims to encapsulate the essence of summer with three uniquely flavored butter sandwiches, each inspired by different aspects of the season:

1. Taste of the Summer Sky
Reflecting the blue of a summer sky, this sandwich features a thin blue «Nishikigumi» infused with a hint of lemon flavor, capturing the cool essence of summer. The subtle aroma of fresh butter emerges as the temperature rises, allowing you to experience the calmness of the summer sky in just one bite.

2. Sun-Captured Butter Sandwich
A deep ruby-red «Nishikigumi» encases ripe raspberry flesh. This vivid color mimics precious gemstones like garnets, delivering a luxurious experience that pairs the tartness of raspberry with the richness of a butter filling. This sandwich is a perfectly balanced blend of robust sweetness and delicate acidity, evoking the warmth of summer when enjoyed cold.

3. Sunflower and Summer Fragrance
This sandwich shines with golden hues. It combines a homemade sweet citrus sauce made from Amanatsu and a butter mixture enhanced with elderflower liqueur, evoking memories of blooming flowers and sunny afternoons. The light bitterness from the citrus peel acts in harmony with the floral notes, capturing the essence of summer in a delicate sandwich.
