Chocolate Cheese Burgers?

Recently, one of my students presented me with a box of unusual sweets:

No, that is not a burger. It’s actually a very curious little pastry!

Made by a company called My Captain Cheese Tokyo, the Cheese Chocolate Burgers are about as close to what their name indicates as one could hope (?) for. Each little “burger” is made up of two sweet pastry pieces for the burger bun. Between them is proportionately decent amount of sweet whipped cream and a square of what looks like cheddar cheese. It isn’t, or not exactly, though it certainly smells like it. Instead, apparently, it is cheddar cheese flavored chocolate and it is a lot milder in taste than the look and scent lead you to expect.


They're... well, they’re different, and not in a bad way. I am not the world’s biggest cheese fan, so these are not really my thing. They are also allegedly inspired by the west coast of the US, though I’m  not sure in what way or how well that works. But they taste alright to me and they are definitely unique. It’s not something I’d seek out myself, but I wouldn’t say no if they were offered to me again either!


Has anyone else seen these or tried these? What did you think?

    Not tried them but you've piqued my curiosity, especially with the "cheddar cheese flavored chocolate." Sounds weird enough that I'd kind of like to try it. Not something I'd go out of my way for but if it presented itself, I'd buy one.

    @Tomuu Yes, they're definitely... different!
