The brand prides itself on offering one item per brand, so its main outlets only sell puff pastries. However, ice cream is available at the Harajuku and Ikebukuro Tobu stores, where it is a limited item. In Japan, the price for a single puff is 250 yen (tax included), while a six-pack is 1250 yen (tax included).
Its fresh and design-forward packaging is also a standout feature. (Image source / クロッカンシュ0?ザクザク)
Zakuzaku (ザクザク) has four locations in Tokyo (Shinjuku, Harajuku, Kamata, and Ikebukuro Tobu). Its first overseas branch is in Taiwan, aiming to tap into the island’s promising dessert market. The Christmas season launch also coincides with peak dessert sales period—those eager to try it may need to line up early.
