Kameya-mannendo


At Kameya-mannendo, a well-known confectionery in Tokyo, I found two kinds of lovely sweets with turtles like left photos.


One is turtle's cookie.
It is printed lovely three turtles with flower patterns on its back shell on the surface. It is sandwiched white chocolate between biscuits.



Another is fruit jelly. Its name ,"Kame sanpo(turtle walk)" is also very cute. A green turtle put in the jelly with cutting fruits.
