Japanese: Israeli cookies are mmm-mmm good

February 2, 2007 - 2:57 AM by

Via Jewlicious, word that an Israeli cookie is making its way to the Far East (apparently, it recently finished its army service):

A Japanese firm has recently bought a motherload of Abadi Bakery’s bagel-shaped cookies after their recent appearance at an international food fest and smash hit at the subsequent corporate taste testing.

The family owned bakery, which began in Syria was reopened at the Mahane Yehuda market (aka, ck and Michael’s neighborhood) in Jerusalem 70 years ago. In total the company ordered 230,000 packages containing 4.1 million cookies, for NIS 1.5 million (USD 350,000).

“The bakery’s owner, Yossef Abadi, expressed satisfaction over the deal: ‘The Japanese have conquered Israel with their sushi, and we will take over Japan with the Jerusalemite pretzel.’”

    2. Hmm…I never recalled tasting this when I went to Israel years ago. Is it really that good?

    And since when did sushi become popular in Israel?
