The description
This product is a soft warabi mochi which is filled with whipped cream and a kuromitsu sauce. It was purchased from my local Family Mart store and was priced at 150 yen including tax.
The good
This product is great if you like Japanese sweets, and it has a nice added boost of sweetness with the addition of the whipped cream. The elements all go well together, and the mochi is also dusted with some kinako so it adds to that lovely, earthy kind of flavor. I also like these mochi for their "just right" portion size. They are big enough to give you a nice little boost of energy, but without being excessively sweet or excessively large. I think it would be perfect for a quick afternoon snack when you're at work, for instance.
The not so good
One thing to keep in mind about this product is that the warabi mochi outer is very soft. I'd recommend being careful whilst eating it, because it does have the tendency to ooze out a little. It was too hard to even cut it open and do a cross section photo without it being squashed completely! Other than that, this is a solidly good product for those who enjoy traditional Japanese sweets flavors, and it's a great size for a quick snack. I do believe that it's a limited-time only option, so I recommend getting in to your nearest Family Mart while you can if it's something you'd like to try.
