Hello everyone~! This is Saori from Japanese Snacks Republic!

Wow~! The temperatures in Japan are rising, and every day really feels like summer is finally on its way! In Japan, as summer approaches, refreshing flavors start appearing more and more! It's also the season when lemon and citrus-flavored sweets increase too~!

Japanese summers are hot and humid, so during that time, refreshing flavors like lemon, citrus, and salty tastes become really popular! This time, it's like a biscuit packed full of that summer feeling — not only does it have a refreshing lemon flavor, but by also incorporating salt, which pairs perfectly with biscuits, it's balanced with two kinds of refreshing taste that make you want to reach for another one! Of course, it still has a satisfying sweetness, and the result is a new biscuit that pairs especially well with tea!

Recently in Japan, more and more new citrus-flavored sweets like this have been appearing, so if you especially love lemon and refreshing-style snacks, definitely check out the newly released Salty Lemon Galette Sandwich Cake!
