June 25: This is a perfect gift for someone who loves nuts & cookies! I found it in the local magazine, and I liked the lovely picture of a bluebird on the cover. The shop “Groovy Nuts” in Nakameguro is a specialty shop featuring high-quality nuts sourced from around the world. They value the material and add a flavor that creates a simple yet one-of-a-kind nut cookie taste.


For example, cashew nuts have a deep black olive flavor. Pistachio cookies perfumed with herbs are refreshing and soothing. Coarse-grained salt “Chura Sea Salt” matches with pecan nuts, and pistachio matches with Gerando salt. These cookies are best for snacks and finger food!
