Strawberries that will put you in a sweet mood♡ Selection of 7 sweets with limited strawberry flavor

Hi, this is Payke writer, LINA!
There are many various sweet strawberry brands in Japan. Because the peak of these strawberries is about February, each sweets maker release a limited strawberry flavored sweets for this present time! This time, I will introduce my favorite limited strawberry flavored sweets, 7 in all!

Glico【pocky】

Price：150 yen（tax included）on the left、194 yen（tax included）on the right
It is a limited strawberry flavored Pocky which is one of Japan’s standard snacks.
The one on the left is a pink heart-shaped Pocky which is kneaded pretzel mixed with the pulp of a strawberry.

The one on the right is slightly more rich which means more filling than the regular one. The amount of chocolate is 3.2 times increased compared to regular Pocky so I felt chocolate is stronger. Cocoa biscuit is dipped in whipped soft chocolate and then readily meltable chocolate twice.

LOTTE【Custard Cake Sweet Strawberry】&　Morinaga【Amaou Strawberry cake】

These are cake-like strawberry sweets.
【Custard Cake Sweet Strawberry】

Price：324 yen（tax included）
Volume：６ pieces
This is a sweet made from soft and moist dough, whipped strawberry custard cream and strawberry sauce. The scent of sweet and sour strawberries spreads in the mouth.
【Amaou Strawberry Cake】

Price：324 yen（tax included）
Volume：６ pieces
This is a chocolate cake that used Amaou, one of the leading strawberry brands in Japan. The jam made carefully so as not to dismiss the flavor is mixed with cream, and they are sandwiched in the moist dough and wrapped in chocolate.

Bourbon【Alfort】

Price：162 yen（tax included）
Volume：12 pieces
Bourbon’s Alfort is a sweet combination of chocolate with sweet and sour strawberry powder and cocoa biscuit with whole grain. Strawberries are used for chocolate as much as 40% and when I put it in my mouth, I firmly felt the sweet and sour taste of strawberry. This is what I love the most!

Morinaga【Twig Amaou Strawberry】

Price：194 yen（tax included）
Volume：4 pieces×11 packs
It is a cute sweet like a twig with crispy puffs in chocolate. Amaou strawberry I introduced above is also used and its sweet and sour taste made me think coming of spring.

Meiji【Rich Strawberry Biscuit】

Price：204 yen（tax included）
Volume：２ pieces×３ packs
And lastly, I will introduce a rich strawberry biscuit. Sweet and sour chocolate with 70% strawberry is sandwiched in the cocoa biscuit. According to the package, every time biting a hard chocolate, the first you feel sweet and sour scent, the second you feel the thick flavor of chocolate, and the third you feel the rich taste of cocoa, biscuit and strawberry. Among the items I introduced this time, this item made me feel strawberries strong and I was surprised by the flavor as if I eat fresh strawberries!

There are plenty! Strawberry Sweets

These items can be purchased at supermarkets, convenience stores and so on. I personally think strawberry sweets are few, so please try them! As most of them are limited items, those who visit Japan from January to March should look for your favorites and don’t forget to buy them!
