Decorated cookie tins with cookies, that make you feel happy when you open it and look inside, are trending in Japan. Today is the second part of our visit to a popular cookie tin shop. We will introduce cookies and also other sweets.

■ COBATO STORE is full of retro sensations from its cookies to the store itself
Starting as a general store, the company that joins coupé bakery and café in the same spot was born from the wish to "make cute tins that can be kept for a long time". The cookie tins contain the flagship product Speculoos, a traditional French confectionery. "COBATO STORE" was born as a store that sells cookie tins, stationery, miscellaneous goods and etc. Their commitment is reflected not only in their products, but also in their exterior and interior space, as well as the display of the store. You can immerse yourself in a comfortable retro feeling and shop with excitement.
