A New Limited Edition Delight: Matcha Financier

This spring, Cheese Garden, a renowned confectionery brand under the Korowide Group, is excited to introduce its first-ever “Japanese” flavored financier: the Matcha Financier. Launching on February 18, 2026, this limited edition treat will be available at all Cheese Garden locations and through their online shop until mid-April.

Experience Traditional Flavor with a Twist

Cheese Garden's original financier is cherished for its classic taste, primarily featuring the rich aroma of butter and the subtle nutty flavor of almonds. This beloved baked good has garnered a wide fanbase across various age groups and is perfect for numerous occasions, from casual coffee breaks to gifting moments.
