A Taste of Heaven: THE BUTTER & SCONE Ashiya Offers Exclusive Freshly Baked Scone Experience

Indulge in a rare culinary delight as a popular event, known for selling out in minutes, returns to offer an unparalleled scone experience.

On March 29, 2026, at 2:00 PM, THE BUTTER & SCONE Ashiya Honten will host its highly anticipated free tasting event, “Baked Scone Feast of Early Spring.” This special occasion invites guests to experience scones in their most exquisite state: fresh from the oven. The event has proven to be incredibly popular, with all three previous editions reaching full capacity within just 10 minutes of registration opening.

A Unique Culinary Journey for Scone Enthusiasts

Scones are typically enjoyed after they have cooled, making the opportunity to taste them immediately after baking a rare treat. This event offers just that: scones removed from the oven and served within minutes, ensuring guests experience their peak flavor and texture. It’s an exclusive experience that only a specialized scone shop can provide, transforming a simple baked good into a moment of pure culinary bliss.

From Staff Discovery to Customer Delight

The inspiration for this unique event stemmed from the shop’s own staff. When tasting freshly baked scones, many expressed genuine surprise, exclaiming, “The freshly baked ones are completely different from usual!” and “They’re surprisingly delicious!” This shared sentiment sparked the desire to offer the same extraordinary experience to customers. The result is a scone that is delicately crisp on the outside and astonishingly fluffy on the inside—a texture and aroma that can only be savored moments after baking.

A Symphony of Butter and Aroma

As the oven door opens, a sweet, rich aroma of butter fills the air, setting the stage for a truly indulgent experience. Guests will be served freshly baked scones accompanied by the shop’s popular original butter and a cup of complementary tea. The original butter, a customer favorite with a high repeat purchase rate, is made by whipping butter and Italian meringue to create a fluffy, airy texture. This combination creates a luxurious “feast time” that engages all the senses.

Featured Scones for the Event

The event will showcase two distinct types of freshly baked scones, carefully selected to highlight the unique qualities of the shop’s offerings:

• Moist Scone “Strawberry & Strawberry”: Crafted with French fermented butter, this scone boasts a tender, moist texture. It is a particular favorite among women and children.

• & Scone: A mini scone specifically developed to perfectly complement the original butter. Its dough is folded multiple times to achieve an incredibly fluffy texture. Made with rich grass-fed butter, it promises a delightful pairing with the signature whipped butter.

Alongside these delectable scones, a carefully chosen tea will be served to enhance the overall tasting experience.

Exclusive Keepsakes for Attendees

This exclusive event is limited to just 10 lucky individuals, chosen by lottery from all applicants. As a token of appreciation, all participants will receive a scone souvenir to enjoy at home, extending the delightful experience beyond the event.
