In Tokyo, many people pick up the original white chocolate version of SUGAR BUTTER TREE as a souvenir. However, when browsing the souvenir shops at Nagoya Station, you may notice a regional limited-edition version in green packaging: the “Matcha Chocolate” (お抹茶ショコラ).
While browsing the souvenir shops at Nagoya Station this time, I came across the 10-piece bagged version and thought it would be perfect to bring home and enjoy with a cup of tea as an afternoon snack.
In this post, I’ll share an unboxing of the packaging and details, along with my impressions of the matcha flavor and sweetness after trying it myself.

The outer bag features dark green stripes, with a golden “Kinshachi” (golden shachi) in the center. The subtle design makes it clear that this is a Nagoya-exclusive regional edition.

After opening the outer bag, you’ll find 10 individually wrapped cookies inside. While the bagged version may not look as fancy as the boxed version, it is more affordable and convenient for everyday snacking.
It’s also easy to keep a bag at your desk to share with coworkers, and the compact packaging doesn’t take up much space in your luggage.

Each cookie is individually wrapped in a silver foil pouch designed to help protect it from moisture. The package also features an illustration of the “Kinshachi,” the golden shachi ornaments associated with the keep of Nagoya Castle. The overall packaging is simple, clean, and understated.
Signature Sugar-Butter Cereal Crust

After opening the foil pouch, you’ll find a rectangular cereal biscuit. One of the biggest highlights of SUGAR BUTTER TREE is its signature biscuit base, made by baking a blend of rye and grains. The surface has uneven golden-brown toasted marks and is lightly sprinkled with fine sugar crystals.
The biscuit feels dry and crisp in your hand, with a subtle roasted grain and wheat-like aroma.

From the side, you can see a moderately thick layer of dark green matcha chocolate filling sandwiched between two substantial layers of cereal biscuit. The filling-to-biscuit ratio feels fairly well balanced.
The Subtle Bitterness of Aichi Nishio Matcha and Crispy Layers

Before taking a bite, I took a look at the side first. The biscuit itself has a delicate, flaky structure made up of multiple crispy layers.

Taking a big bite, the biscuit is incredibly crisp and crunchy, with a satisfying “crack” as you bite into it. The sugar crystals on the surface add an extra touch of crisp sweetness without making it overly sugary.
The matcha filling is made with locally produced Nishio Matcha from Aichi Prefecture. The matcha chocolate has a smooth texture and a moderate level of sweetness, while still offering the subtle bitterness and lingering finish that are characteristic of matcha.
The roasted grain aroma, rich buttery flavor, and delicate matcha notes come together nicely, creating a well-balanced overall taste. It doesn’t leave behind an overly greasy or sugary aftertaste, and I found it pairs especially well with a cup of hot tea or black coffee.
