The best thing is probably the price: 158 yen before tax. The product certainly looks luxurious with its chic and elegant floral packaging of soft colors. Inside the outer box is a tray on which the crispy shells lie, and it has an outer layer of plastic to help keep the product fresh until it is open. Another positive that many will appreciate is that it is clearly stated on the outer packaging that the product is halal. I liked the crispiness of the product and the subtle strawberry flavor. They have a relatively long shelf life. The pack I bought today is good until July 2027.

The crispy crepe name might be misleading to some. It's not the type of crepe some people might expect. While I like the crispiness of the product and the subtle strawberry flavor, overall, I feel it lacks in taste. I think it might work better as part of something else. Like on the top of ice-cream. However, once you open the packet I doubt they stay fresh for too long, and you are not going to put 20 odd rolled biscuits on ice-cream. The product is manufactured in a facility that also processes peanuts, so those with a peanut allergy may wish to exercise caution and avoid this product. Overall, while I didn't dislike them, I didn't like them enough to buy them again.
