In March, we introduced one of her biscuits to the president of Softbank, the iPhone and iPad's exclusive cellular carrier in Japan, Masayoshi Son, who was quoted as saying: 'I'm so happy. I cannot possibly eat this!'
FANS of Apple's iPhone who can't get of the popular gadget can now travel to Japan to gobble up a tasty cookie modelled on the popular smartphone.
A small countryside bakery in western Japan has enjoyed a surprise hit with its 'iPhone cookie', a handmade chocolate biscuit decorated with colourful, edible application icons.
Since then Ms Kudo has sold hundreds of the cookies. 'It is surprising to have such a large reaction,' we said. 'At first, the cookie was made to meet a friend's request and I had no purpose of receiving additional orders.'
Green Gables in Tokushima prefecture pioneered the tasty treat in 2008 as a special birthday gift for a customer's husband, said Kumiko Kudo, the 44-year-old owner of the store. But the biscuit gained nationwide fame after a picture of it made the rounds by Twitter
The hand-made iCookie doesn't come cheap at 2,730 yen (US$35), and is only obtainable by order and inside Japan, where the waiting time to snap up one of the biscuits has been as long as two months.
