From the immensely popular “Butter States Cookie,” which has sold over 14.7 million units, comes a special winter-only flavor: the ‘Chocolat Fondue Butter States Cookie’.
This special cookie is a joint development between “Gin no Budo,” a famous Western-style confectionery brand from Ginza, Tokyo, and Seven & i Holdings, which operates 7-Eleven and other stores in Japan. Sales began sequentially from Tuesday, November 18, 2025, at 7-Eleven, Ito-Yokado, and other stores across Japan, and it’s already creating a buzz among snack lovers.
What is the “Butter States Cookie” Anyway?
The “Butter States Cookie” is the signature creation of “BUTTER STATE’s,” a specialty store for butter-based sweets. The brand is produced by “Gin no Budo,” which has created numerous popular sweets.
Its most distinct feature is the unique “butter avalanche” baking method. The dough is infused with a generous amount of butter, which melts like an avalanche in the oven, creating a distinctively crispy texture and a mountain-like shape. Its rich butter flavor and aroma are said to be unforgettable once you’ve tried it.
This hugely popular cookie has now been released as a winter-themed, individually wrapped product exclusive to Seven & i, making it even easier to enjoy.
The Ultimate Butter-Rich Cookie Meets Chocolate
The new ‘Chocolat Fondue’ is made by drizzling a slightly bitter chocolate, like a fondue, over the “ultimate butter-rich cookie,” which boasts a butter content of 34%.
The flavor of cacao further enhances the rich, deep taste of cultured butter that melts in your mouth. This is truly a luxurious combination perfect for the cold season. It’s recommended to enjoy it with a hot cup of coffee or tea during a Japanese winter snack time.
The Secret to Easy Eating: “Happy 3-Piece”
This cookie hides a unique feature designed to maximize its enjoyment. By gently pressing the peak of the cookie with both hands through the individual wrapper, you can easily break it into three “bite-sized” pieces.
This is a brand-exclusive design named “Happy 3-Piece.” It’s crafted so you can savor the rich butter cookie smartly without getting your hands dirty. It’s also convenient for sharing with friends and family.
