Thoughts put into development

As the number of tourists visiting Niigata Prefecture is returning, this was planned and developed to further promote the appeal of Niigata with new sweets that can only be found in the rice-producing region of Niigata.
The popular products of SA/PA in Niigata Prefecture were mainly Japanese sweets, so this time we created Western sweets with the desire to bring a new twist to Niigata souvenirs. By using rice flour from Niigata, we have created a sandwich cookie that allows you to enjoy the aroma and crispy texture unique to rice flour.

Image of Niigata Prefecture, rice, Shinano River (Bandai Bridge)

The packaging is cute and gorgeous, incorporating abstract designs inspired by Niigata, such as Niigata Prefecture, rice, and the Shinano River (Bandai Bridge), to convey the Niigata-ness.

 また、パッケージの中央にある稲穂のかたちをイメージしたブランドロゴ「88 and merry niigata」(ハチハチアンドメリー新潟)は、お米にかかる手間を由来としています。
 お米ができるまでには88(八十八)もの手間がかかることから「米」という文字は「八十八」からつくられたと言われています。それほど丹精に育てられた新潟のお米でつくられている特別なスイーツで”Merry(陽気、愉快)”な気持ちになってほしいという思いを込めてデザインしました。
