This special pastry, known for bringing good fortune to whoever finds the hidden charm, is now available in a delightful, accessible format for a limited time.

Snaq.me, a company dedicated to innovative and conscious snacking, has announced the launch of its “French Traditional Galette des Rois 2026” through its online store.

The Galette des Rois is traditionally a symbol of sharing happiness and luck, where a small ceramic figurine, or “fève,” is baked inside the cake. The person who discovers the fève in their slice is crowned king or queen for the day and is said to receive good fortune for the year. Snaq.me embraces this playful spirit by substituting the fève with a single almond, making it a delightful surprise for family and friends. Adding a touch of Japanese “Kawaii” charm, each Galette des Rois comes with a special sticker featuring “Rissu,” Snaq.me’s beloved character, in place of the traditional paper crown.

The pastry itself is a testament to culinary craftsmanship. The outer layer boasts a wonderfully flaky, golden-brown crust, made from aromatic croissant dough that ensures a light and airy bite. Inside, a rich, moist homemade crème d’amande (almond cream) offers a comforting contrast in texture and flavor, creating a harmonious blend that is both rustic and refined.

Embracing Global Cultures at Home

Amidst a growing interest in international cultures, partly fueled by events like the upcoming Osaka-Kansai Expo, there’s a rising trend of experiencing global traditions from the comfort of one’s home. The Galette des Rois perfectly aligns with this movement, offering:

  • The excitement of sharing with family.

  • The playful anticipation of discovering who will be crowned.

  • The special feeling of gathering around a single sweet treat.

This makes it an ideal, small-scale celebration for any household. Snaq.me’s rendition is designed for convenience, being “not too large,” “requiring no preparation,” and “easily stored frozen,” making it simple for anyone to incorporate this charming overseas custom into their new year festivities.
