Review: Fuku Fuku Tai Chocolate

March 11, 2016

I have a real thing for Taiyaki. Those adorable little fish shaped snacks, often described as a cross between a waffle and a cake, with their amazing range of fillings…well, I’m just dying to try them! They look so delicious and utterly sweet in every way. You can imagine how excited I was to find this Fuku … More Review: Fuku Fuku Tai Chocolate

Review: Aero Blueberry Ice Cream

January 8, 2016

Most people know Japan sells a variety of strange and exciting Kit Kat flavours. Did you know they sell pretty awesome Aero bars too? These adorable little winter edition bars are Blueberry Ice Cream flavour. As someone who loves both blueberries and Aero I got very excited when I spotted these! We got these as a … More Review: Aero Blueberry Ice Cream

Review: Ghana White Chocolate Bar

January 6, 2016

I love when something totally new arrives in our subscription boxes. This month we got to try Japanese white chocolate for the first time in the form of a lovely big bar of Lotte Ghana, which may sound silly considering white chocolate is hardly a Japan only product but hey. It’s still a new thing. … More Review: Ghana White Chocolate Bar

Review: Torotto Maple

January 2, 2016

Torotto drew me in with their vague yet interesting product description; crispy baked chocolates with a creamy centre, in this case a fall inspired maple cream centre. Plus, the name looks like Totoro (the Ghibli character) so yeah :p This flavour is a limited edition, but you can still find some floating around on Oyatsu Cafe here (in … More Review: Torotto Maple

Review: Big Black Thunder Coconut

November 28, 2015

Black Thunder bars are fairly well known and are a mash up of dark cocoa cookie pieces, plain cookies pieces, rice puffs and chocolate poured into a block like bar. This version, Big Black Thunder, is larger, thinner and seems to have little to nothing in common with the original Black Thunder bars, as it … More Review: Big Black Thunder Coconut

Review: Star Wars Bikkuriman

November 23, 2015

I wasn’t really sure if I should review this one or not; on the one hand I don’t have much to say about it (I mean it is just a chocolate filled wafer), but on the other I found it ridiculously yummy and pretty fun to boot. So, this one is going to be more … More Review: Star Wars Bikkuriman

Review: Sakura Matcha Kit Kats

November 19, 2015

It’s Kit Kat time again! And yes, time for a review rather than more NaBloPoMo musings 😉 I love matcha or sakura themed anything, not to mention Kit Kats themselves, so these sakura matcha (cherry blossom/green tea) flavoured Kit Kats were a natural purchase for me. Always good to combine the things you love, right? … More Review: Sakura Matcha Kit Kats

Review: Meiji Petit Assorted Chocolate Selection

November 8, 2015

Summer is well and truly over (not that it ever really arrived here) and we’re currently experiencing a really cold, wet spell here. One plus side to the cooler weather is that it is now possible to get lots of delicious chocolate from Japan without worrying about it melting in transit! Japanese chocolate isn’t something … More Review: Meiji Petit Assorted Chocolate Selection

Review: Ichigo Strawberry Kit Kat

July 19, 2015

Like many people, I was amazed when I discovered how many flavours of Kit Kat Japan offer. Strawberry was the first flavour I heard of, and because UK Kit Kats are very unimaginative in their flavouring I thought they sounded very strange, good but definitely out there. Even strawberry chocolate isn’t something I come across … More Review: Ichigo Strawberry Kit Kat
