- Japan ranking listing: Sugar Butter Sand no Ki, value pack, 10-piece/Taiwan product page: "[Original Butter] 10-piece Classic" selectedThe Japan listing is Haneda Airport's official online store's "Sugar Butter Sand no Ki Value Pack, 10-Piece" (¥900, a single 10-piece bag). Selecting "[Original Butter] 10 Pieces, Classic" on the Taiwan momo Tokyo Selection store narrows the price from the range 259-889 down to 329, with the same piece count of 10 and the same Original Butter flavor. (Retailer: Tokyo Selection (momo TP0008311, Japan cross-border delivery)) A momo cross-border store (Japan cross-border delivery, shipping charged separately), not a Taiwan in-stock shelf price; the price difference includes the Taiwan-side markup. The same store also has 7-piece and 14-piece packs and Snoopy/Muscat limited editions; this listing uses only the 10-piece Original Butter. The same Haneda item number Z101278357 also appears on the airport's overall ranking (haneda-airport-all-ranking-2026-09-11-rank-10-Z101278357), and that listing is merged into this entry.
