もちしょこら - rice cake with chocolate, maccha flavour.

It seems, Japanese confectioneries love to collaborate with maccha especially in this green season.

Ohhh, this post was sitting in the draft folder for ages I just rescued her. This tasted good :)

Dark rum chocolate

It is another snowy day in Tokyo, and I have found a chocolate that would fit the weather like today.

Once open the box, you'll detect the smell of rum, which 2.3% of alcohol contained. Don't drive a car after had this sweety.

Kinako mochi tirol choco!!!

Actually this is "premium kinako mochi"
We LOVE kinako mochi tirol!

Oh Yeah!!

Kyo-matcha chocolate / monaka

After a big typhoon, the weather turned to Autumn a little bit.
My regular commute to a convini earned a lot of Autumn flavour, chestnut, pumpkin  etc.
This matcha chocolate as well, covered with monaka skin, which is crispy and very light, inside is whipped matcha flavour chocolate.

I recall when I was a child I didn't like sweetend matcha drink, but you see, how gorgeous matcha flavoured chocs are!

Well I should not eat them a lot. It's Autumn and my apetizer just woke up to grab tasty foods.
Chao!

Tirol x Kumamon !

You know how popular the KUMAMON bear. Now it collaborates with Japanese very popular chocolate Tirol.

Sweet potato flavoured sticky mochi(rice cake) inside, covered with chocolate.

Oh by the way, Kumamon will visit Harvard Uni this November, with the governor of Kumamoto prefecture, who will give a lecture about Economics of Kumamon.
Kumamon will hang around the town on the next day (scheduled 13th Nov.)

Akihabara at a glance

These are both Akihabara guide map.

I don't know whiy... but Japanese version(left) has a bit more attractive characters on it.

And Foreigner version, it looks more classic style, maybe because it has a lot of Kanji letters...?

You can pick them up at JR Akihabara station. If you can't find it, somebody already took them! haha

This is called...

Shaun Pen.
Oh well...
