About THE CARAMEL CROWN
National Caramel Month sticker campaign
Customers who answer the in-store quiz correctly can receive a THE CARAMEL CROWN sticker. The giveaway is part of the Kobe Hankyu pop-up event.
Caramel Mille-Feuille
Caramel Mille-Feuille combines soft butter caramel chocolate cream with crisp pastry made from 108 layers and almond slices. A five-piece box is ¥1,296 (tax included).
Caramel Crown Gift
The Caramel Crown Gift assortment offers three types of butter caramel sweets. The 12-piece box costs ¥3,240, while the 20-piece box costs ¥5,400 (tax included).
THE CARAMEL CROWN builds its sweets around the contrast between melting caramel and the rich aroma of butter. Its signature sandwich uses a soft butter caramel center wrapped in fondant, then placed between crisp butter sablés. The brand describes this technique as the Melty Robe method, designed to preserve a freshly made, smooth texture.
