Chinsuko Biscuits, or Okinawan Shortbread Biscuits, have been made in Okinawa since the Ryukyu Kingdom. Besides having a long history, these shortbread-type biscuits have a delightfully sweet flavor and crispy texture.
Chinsuko’s main ingredients are typically lard, flour, and sugar, giving them a crumbly texture. But this variation of chinsuko includes Yukishio (snow salt) from Miyakojima island in Okinawa, so it has a slightly salty aftertaste.
Yukishio, or snow salt, is extracted by pumping underground water from the Okinawan island of Miyakojima and has high mineral contents and a powdery texture.
If you’re a lover of sweet and salty snacks or are looking for a new afternoon snack, then you’ve got to try these Yukishio Chinsuko biscuits! They also pair perfectly with a cup of coffee.
Nanpudo Yukishio Chinsuko is one of the most popular souvenirs to buy and take back home when visiting Okinawa.

- KSk s.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars4/20/24good taste, sweeter than expected
These are delicious. They are packaged in individual packages of two small cookies each which is a perfect amount.
They are sweeter than I expected, and normally I prefer less sweet but these seem like a good amount. Sweeter than a typical shortbread but not super sweet.
