Oishi Pillows Ube is the quintessence of Filipino creativity in the world of snacks. Oishi, the flagship brand of Liwayway Holdings Company Limited, has roots dating back to post-war Philippines and has grown into a global player, but its heart beats in Manila. The name "Oishi" means "delicious" in Japanese, which perfectly reflects the company's mission to deliver products full of intense flavor.

The key element that makes these crackers unique is the **Ube** flavor. Purple yam (winged yam) is not only a culinary hit but also a part of the Filipino identity. Ube is naturally sweet, creamy, and has an earthy aftertaste, often compared to a mix of white chocolate, vanilla, and pistachio. In this snack, it has been transformed into a creamy, sweet filling that contrasts with the outer, brittle shell.

The structure of the crackers themselves, made from rice and wheat, provides an excellent balance: lightness, crispness, and delicacy. The small, pillow shape is perfect for grabbing, and the filling is released on the first bite, flooding the palate with sweetness. This dual texture—crunchy on the outside and soft inside—is the secret to their popularity.

Oishi is known for innovation in the snack sector and introducing Filipino flavors to the market. By choosing Pillows Ube, you are not just buying crackers—you are getting a piece of Filipino dessert culture that has won the hearts of foodies all over the world. It is a small, sweet escape that transports you directly to the tropical islands. Excellent for both adults and children as an intriguing alternative to traditional European sweets.
