Butter Butler 

<p>Butter makes everything better. This is the guiding principle of<a href="https://www.instagram.com/butterbutlerph/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> Butter Butler</a>, the renowned Japanese bakery whose butter-centric desserts have enthralled foodies across Tokyo. Now Manila&#x27;s butter fanatics can get a taste of these delicious pastries as the brand opens their newest store at the Powerplant Mall.</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:900px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1736237105071BUTTER BUTLER PH (6).jpg" style="width:900px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner">This is Butter Butler&#x27;s first store outside Japan</span></span></span></div><p>Manila was the top choice for Butter Butler’s first store outside Japan—an easy decision, according to Bryan Tiu, President and CEO of iFoods Inc., and also the man behind the successful local franchise, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/tokyomilkcheesefactoryph/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Tokyo Milk Cheese Factory</a>. “The Philippines was always in the top five markets for Tokyo Milk Cheese Factory across Asia, so it made sense to bring Butter Butler here first,” he said at the store&#x27;s launch. “We felt Filipinos would be as supportive [of Butter Butler]  as they were of our first foray into the market.”</p><p>Echoing Tiu’s sentiment were Sucrey Aoyama’s CEO Ryoichi Sakamoto and General Manager for overseas business Yusuke Hase, who both feel that the Filipino practice of <em>pasalubong</em> is similar to the Japanese tradition of <em>omiyage</em>, where travelers bring gifts and souvenirs back home to their loved ones. “Butter Butler has premium boxes that make for special gifts for friends and family,” says Sakamoto. “We only use premium butter sourced from Europe, French Guérande salt, and Canadian maple syrup to make sure we bring the best pastries to our customers.” </p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:900px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/17362379514711.jpg" style="width:900px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner">These luxurious butter-drenched pastries make the perfect gifts or omiyage</span></span></span></div><p>Suffice to say, butter is the star in every baked product that has come out of the Butter Butler ovens. “It is a celebration of butter! One bite, and you can taste how the butter provides a rich, savory texture, and a flavor that supports the deliciousness of the dessert,” Tiu explains. The perfect example for this is the Manila exclusive <strong>Butter Croffle</strong> — a unique creation that combines the crispy, buttery exterior of a croissant and the soft, fluffy interior of a waffle. Each bite is a harmonious balance of flavors. </p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:900px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1736238016348BUTTER BUTLER PH (5).jpg" style="width:900px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner">The Butter Croffle is available only in Manila</span></span></span></div><p>Other iconic Butter Butler classics available at the Powerplant Mall branch are the indulgent <strong>Butter Financiers</strong>, soft moist cakes with golden-brown crusts, and the <strong>Butter Galettes </strong>noted for their crisp, chewy texture with a bit of a salty bite. Both pastries come in special gift boxes, making them the perfect  hostess gift to bring to your next dinner party or potluck.</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:900px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1736238436272A.jpg" style="width:900px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner">Butter Galettes (left) and Butter Financiers (right)</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><p>The store launch was greeted with much enthusiasm, with special guests and foodies converging to eagerly sample the freshly baked goodies.
