I loved these Shiroi Koibito Cookies ever since my friend introduced me to them over 4 years ago. Shiroi Koibito is one of the products under ISHIYA. Shiroi Koibito in English, or at least on the package, says White Lover. Literally. I’ve been calling them the White Lover Cookies.
I think the White, stand for white chocolate. Shiroi Boibito is basically a square cookie sandwich with 2 very thin crispy cookies with a slice of soft white chocolate in between. The white chocolate kind of looks like cheese.
These cookies are really yummy. The thin crispy cookies has a strong vanilla flavor. The chocolate inside is always soft, smooth, and it’s just melts in your mouth. The cookies looks very simple, and it looks like how it would taste. It’s pretty brilliant.
So where can you get these cookies? They are available at the Tokyo International Airport. Yup, when I visited Japan a few years ago, I ran all over, and only found my luck at the airport before my departure.
This time, my sister brought 2 boxes back from her trip to Japan. It’s been about 3 years since I had one of these, and they still taste the same. I’ve already finish 1 box, they’re so good.
If you are visiting Japan in the future, make sure to bring a couple boxes of these back at the airport. If you are not going Japan anytime soon, they have opened up online ordering, so you can order from their online store. They also have the same cookies, but with milk chocolate, and not as good as the white chocolate ones.

If you live in Richmond, BC, Canada, there is actually a supermarket that sells these for $15. They’re pretty expensive for a box of 24 but it’s worth it!
