Ginbis, a long-established Japanese confectionery manufacturer, is releasing two exciting new products. First is the “Tabekko Dobutsu Sable Milk Flavor,” known for its gentle sweetness. The second is “Mini Asparagus Double Chocolate Strawberry,” sold exclusively at FamilyMart convenience stores across Japan. We introduce this lineup that honors the tradition of a long-beloved brand while incorporating the latest gourmet touches.
A New Thick-Baked Crunchy Texture! “Tabekko Dobutsu Sable Milk Flavor”
“Tabekko Dobutsu” is a representative Japanese long-selling animal-shaped biscuit series born in 1978. This new product is a “Sable” type (a buttery baked treat) with a thicker profile than standard biscuits. By baking them thick, they achieve a satisfyingly crunchy texture. The mellow sweetness of milk spreads through your mouth, offering a nostalgic and comforting taste reminiscent of everyday Japanese snacks.
It’s the perfect companion for a break during work or chores, or for a peaceful moment with family. Its simple, timeless deliciousness is ideal for your daily refresh time.

Trivia: What is “Tabekko Dobutsu”?
“Tabekko Dobutsu” is characterized by animal names printed in English on the biscuits. It also functions as an “educational snack” (Chiku-gashi) where children can learn English while eating, making it a beloved brand across generations in Japan.
A FamilyMart Exclusive Luxury! “Mini Asparagus Double Chocolate Strawberry”
This is a special limited-edition product available only at FamilyMart stores across Japan. “Asparagus Biscuits” are stick-shaped biscuits first released in 1968, named after their unique shape.
This latest release is based on the popular “Shimi-Choco” style, where chocolate is infused into the biscuit. Furthermore, it is luxuriously coated with “Strawberry Chocolate” mixed with freeze-dried strawberry powder. The harmony between the chocolate that melts smoothly in your mouth and the crunchy texture of the biscuit is exquisite. The gentle sweetness and slight acidity of the strawberries act as an accent, spreading a gorgeous aroma that feels like the arrival of spring.
