'MILK STAR SAND Apple,' which has been adopted by JAL domestic First Class, is a new flavor of the popular 'MILK STAR SAND' product, which was launched in June 2025. It is a luxurious sweet made by mixing stewed Aomori apples, retaining their fruit texture, into butter cream, preserving the refreshing aroma and gentle sweetness of the apples.
The refreshing sweetness of Aomori apples spreads with a juicy sensation, allowing you to enjoy the rich butter with a light texture.
Please enjoy this exquisite item, perfect for spending an elegant time with coffee or tea in the ultimate space of First Class.
Product Overview
Smooth cream and firm cookies. We devised it so that the butter gently spreads, followed by the cookies adding texture, and the lingering flavors overlap and continue. This flavor, using Aomori apples, features juicy stewed fruit that bursts, spreading a refreshing sweetness along with the butter.

To allow people to enjoy the gentleness and strength of milk, we value a manufacturing approach that fully utilizes the quality of ingredients and will continue to explore the possibilities of milk, the source of deliciousness.
MILK STAR is a collection of various genres of sweets that connect smiles with milk.
