Butter Butler, operated by 株式会社シュクレイ (Minato, Tokyo), is coming to the Hankyu Umeda Main Store for a limited-time pop-up from Monday, June 22 to Tuesday, June 30, 2026. The event features an exclusive new product created just for this occasion.
Exclusive New Product: バターパイダマンド 紅茶
The centerpiece of this pop-up is the バターパイダマンド 紅茶 — a brand-new item created exclusively for the Hankyu Umeda Main Store event.
Layers of rich butter and the fragrant aroma of black tea are folded into a crème d'amande filling, then carefully baked inside a specially made pastry shell. The treat is designed to be enjoyed in one hand. Double-baking gives the outside a crisp, golden finish while the inside stays moist and tender. The gently intertwined flavors of butter and black tea make for a deeply satisfying Butter Butler creation.
