This is the Ragueneau Sasaki Yakkoi Sablé La France, featuring a sablé biscuit with a white chocolate centre flavoured with La France sauce and powder.
Each package contained a single sablé measuring 8.5 cm in diameter and 6 mm thick. A cross-section of the golden-brown biscuit revealed three distinct layers: two sablé layers and a white chocolate centre, each approximately 2 mm thick.
The sablé had a moist, shortbread-like texture with a flexible bend, exuding a sweet floral pear aroma. The sablé delivered a mellow sweetness and warm buttery flavour, with a moisture level exceeding that of the Apple Caramel version. The white chocolate centre added a rich fruity sweetness, capturing the pear’s distinct floral notes while evoking the smooth, buttery texture of ripe La France pears.
Overall, this cookie provided a satisfying contrast between the drier, mellow sablé and the creamy, richly flavoured La France white chocolate centre. Its fragrant pear flavour and balanced sweetness made it an exceptional treat.
This Ragueneau Sasaki Yakkoi Sablé La France contained one serving. It was produced in Japan and purchased in Hirosaki, Japan in 2024.
