【New】Experience Spring! Family Mart’s Products that Support Your New Spring Beginning
When spring comes around, many stores start to sell limited-edition spring items.
What kind of limited-edition spring products does Family Mart, one of Japan’s major convenience stores, have?
This time, I will introduce you to 4 cherry blossom・matcha flavored products!
STARBUCKS Sakura Caramel Milk with Mixed Berries
〔Price〕248 yen (tax included)
A creamy milk that is blended with sweet caramel and refreshing flavors of cherry blossoms (sakura). Because this is a new product from the very popular Starbucks, you can’t help having high expectations! The adorable pink packaging makes me want to grab it off the shelf.
Because there are small pieces of berries inside, you will need to shake it well. When I took a sip, I was welcomed with a gentle, sweet taste of cherry blossom and it was very easy to drink.
Please enjoy this unique taste of spring!
Ito En Matcha Latte
〔Price〕238 yen (tax included)
Famous for its “Oi Ocha,” Ito En came out with a matcha latte. Because they use 100% matcha used in tea ceremonies, you can really taste the rich, authentic flavors of matcha.
Many become addicted to its hints of bitterness within the sweetness.
Tired from school or work, or just want to take a break? Relax with this latte!
Fluffy Pancakes (with red bean paste and cherry blossom leaves)
〔Price〕138 yen (tax included)
These are pink pancakes. They have a very soft texture and go very well with the red bean paste inside. The flavors of cherry blossom are quite strong.
I normally don’t eat many pancakes because I get tired of the taste, but I was able to finish these because they are a smaller portion and not too heavy.
Please try them out for a little snack!
Strawberry and Matcha Japanese Parfait
〔Price〕248 yen (tax included)
With matcha mousse, matcha cream, and matcha youkan (jellied dessert made of red bean paste), you can enjoy as much matcha as you’d like with this dessert. Also, the strawberry and strawberry sauce adds a little bit of acidity to the creamy sweetness and they go very well together!
Because this is a parfait, I thought that I would not be able to finish it, but the mousse at the bottom is quite light and it instantly melted inside my mouth.
I think that this would be perfect as an after-meal dessert.
What do you think?
If you are running low on the spring spirit or sweetness, head on over to Family Mart right now!
