Shiroi Koibito!!
I’ve been dying to try the famous chocolate since like forever! Unfortunately, i’ve never been to Japan and no one (up till now) that i know of who’d been to Japan brought home these yummy stuff *sniff*.
Apparently it’s really difficult to find even in Japan itself. It’s only available in Hokkaido and Narita Airport or so i’m told.
And here we are a box of Shiroi Koibito (White Lover) by Ishiya, white chocolate sandwiched between langue de chat (cat’s tongue cookies).
Ok, i didn’t know what are cat’s tongue cookies so i Googled it. To my relief it has nothing to do with felines or any part of the organ. LOL. The cookies are called cat’s tongue because of its shape and size which resembles the cat’s tongue.
Just so you know
.
The packaging is really nice. You have to unwrapped 3 layers before you can get to the chocolate.
First tear off the outer wrapping, then there’s the pretty box and within are small thin pieces of chocolate cookies each wrapped in plastic wrappings.
I forgot to count because i was drooling to get one into my mouth. I think there must have been 30 pieces in the box.
This is the only photo of the actual cookie. It’s so thin that most of them just broke into half when i tear off the wrapper.
Anyhow, the cookie taste really great and the texture very airy but crispy. The white chocolate very milky. In fact, i find it too milky but after the second piece it get’s addictive. It’s just so yummy!
No wonder it’s so famous
