The newly completed commercial facility "HUTPARK" along the coast of Mochimune has opened its first store, a cookie specialty shop called "Cookie Pige." The cheerful atmosphere of the shop invites visitors to enjoy selecting heartfelt gifts for their loved ones.
Wishing happiness through cookies.
Cookie Pige is a sister store of the cookie cheese sandwich specialty shop, Cheese Pige, based in Yaizu. Like Cheese Pige, it operates under the theme of "Happy Sweets," aiming to bring smiles to everyone through cookies as gifts. This heartfelt intention is at the core of what Cookie Pige stands for.
The classic CP cookies come with titles like "The Lover" and "Best Friend," allowing you to convey messages to someone special through these treats. Consider using cookies as a unique way to express your feelings!
Cookie Pige's commitment
Cookies from Cookie Pige are crafted using specially selected domestic wheat, with no margarine--only butter is
used. Each cookie is baked meticulously by hand, resulting in a lightly sweetened treat that highlights the
wheat's texture, making them easy to enjoy.
Cookie Pige offers a variety of cookies that blend different ingredients, such as "Black Tea and Pecan
Nuts"
and "Vanilla and Hazelnuts," emphasizing the connection of gratitude between people. The process of
choosing
the perfect cookie for someone special adds to the enjoyment, making it a fun experience to consider what they
might like.
Cookie Pige's recommendation! The Joyfull Cookie offers a fun experience!
Cookie Pige offers three main types of cookies:
CP Cookies, featuring a fun mix of various ingredients.
Lip Cookies, shaped like lips for a visually appealing treat.
Joyfull Cookies, bite-sized and perfect for pairing with dried fruits and mixed nuts.
Among the offerings, the Joyfull Cookies are highly recommended for their delightful textures. This particular variety combines tea and pecan nuts with mixed nuts, creating an appealing and luxurious experience. The cookies emit a wonderful aroma of tea and nuts upon opening, while the caramelized pecans add sweetness, and the roasted walnuts provide a savory crunch. Available in cup and 250g box sizes, they're perfect for various occasions. Don't miss the chance to try these uniquely flavorful Joyfull Cookies!
Interview
We spoke with Emi Shibata from headquarters.
What prompted you to open Cookie Pige at HUTPARK?
"When HUTPARK was opening, I received an offer to open a shop from CSA. When I saw the site around the time the building was completed, I fell in love with it at first sight! Initially, I thought of opening Cheese Pige, but since we already have locations in Yaizu and Shizuoka Cenova, I decided to start the cookie specialty shop I had envisioned while exploring future developments. It felt like the puzzle pieces fit perfectly."
What kind of customers would you like to attract?
"While many of our customers at Cheese Pige are women in their 30s and 40s, I hope Cookie Pige can appeal to a wider age range. For example, it's adorable and makes me very happy when high school boys come by on their bikes to buy treats as Valentine's gifts. I envision creating a welcoming atmosphere that's accessible and appealing to younger generations, as they often have limited money."
What Cookie Pige values:
Although we sell sweets, our core concept revolves around gifting. Gifts are passed from person to person, and each customer has unique stories and feelings when they visit. Cookie Pige aims to resonate with each customer's story and prioritize creating gifts that express gratitude.
