Starbucks Pumpkin Tart

When I think of fall, fairy tail dreams of pumpkin treats dance through my head. But this year, I have been going through pumpkin withdrawal. This is my first full fall in Japan and have seriously missing pumpkin desserts from back home. That’s why I knew I needed to try the Starbucks pumpkin tart the moment I saw it.

Honestly, I was quite skeptical. I head read tons of reviews online about how Japanese pumpkin just doesn’t taste the same. However, to my surprise it was quite delicious!

It was not 100% of what I was hoping for, but I would give it a 7/10. The taste was the same and the crust was nice and soft. The only things I was disappointed by were the texture and the chunks of pumpkin inside. Because it is Japanese pumpkin, it was not a smooth and felt like a kind of potatoy texture, but it wasn’t off-putting, just different.

Either way, any bit of pumpkin makes me happy!
